Lounging By the Beach - Part 2

[Sundrinkr]

Now I'm going to the Library. Yeah, I still haven't gotten out of the house ..........

I got some big meanie-head on the phone, and he got me all rattled. He was from the CA State Board of Equalization, so I had to call him back. Every time I talk to him, he is so rude and speaks in a very condescending manner. I had to do some deep breathing and h'oponopono after I got off the phone with him.

Every time I run into a rude person, it makes we wonder what kind of a marriage they have - must be a pretty damaged one to make them that way.

I posted a question in the Veterans Forum - dint think it appropriate for the General Discussion board. If you sweet friends here could give me some feedback on the thread, it would be most appreciative. The thread is here.

Please and thank you.

For JaG, Sun and Puff ....... I'll post the question on the Beach thread as soon as I get back from the Library - really have to rush now to get there in time. Dang, the phone is ringing again .... NM, just another telemarketer.

Please and thank you.

Sea -- do not tolerate this guy being rude to you. Confront him on it and ask him why he is talking this way. You are going to have to be aggressive with him because rude people are usually defensive but I bet you can take him, and you should. It might just be an eye opener for him. I bet he talks that way to everyone. jmo...

Oh, I can get into the big stuff too! Shopping being fun depends on whether I am getting to buy something for myself (fun) or just the normal everyday stuff (not fun).

no cats.... unless they are funny. I figure most animals have been done to death and I just want whoever might come in there to have an easy time of it and just as much fun....

Cats is a hugely popular theme, almost every month at PVT it seems.

My problem with big ticket items is...if I go look at them, I end up finding a way to get them....so I avoid looking.

I know what you mean.... I keep looking at cabins for sale in the mountains... really would like to buy one while the market is still somewhat down. I don't even dare to go look at jeeps....

We have nothing to fear but temptation!

Then that is really bad. Sorry Sea if that is the situation.... ignore me then.

if cats are not allowed in your thread there is not reason for me to go there

Hello Sea,Mi novia, Fudgey and Jaggers in general

Lurking and back-reading (I know, I know - for shame )

Sea, saw your question - I have no definitive answer for you, though. The barrel chest associated with smoking is usually part of late-stage COPD (emphysema and the like). It occurs from air chronically being trapped in the lungs even during exhalation - thus always causing the ribs to stay more expanded as the lungs are always larger with the trapped air.

I do not know if at that level of the disease if the process is reversible as the disease itself usually isn't.

I do know that people are different, though, and can't rule out that if one had some "barrel chesting" in early stages of COPD (not usually the case) and the process was halted and lungs healed enough that as much air wasn't trapped as before that it wouldn't be possible to lose some chest size.

Weight loss and exercise changes, maybe Sea, since having quit? Those could be contributors to what you've noticed?

Just my
