Morning Buzzards

PI, no...not too much info. You felt the need to share, and we are here for each others' pleasures as well as pain RIP Annie

 

[FranC]

Morning again. Back from shopping with my daughter. We hit a couple drugstores,LL Bean outlet and a few of the smaller mall stores. None were crowded. WooHoo

Typical: E-cigarettes have 10 times more carcinogens: Japan researchers - Channel NewsAsia

Granted, formaldehyde is an issue with the high wattage mods we use: but notice the screaming headline, stating 10X carcinogens—plural. Presumably all those contained in a Marlboro.

Just how heavily Japanese thumbs were plunked onto the scales we'll never know, but the bounce from a single carcinogen to every is media in action.

Good morning, Refugees.

PI, not only are the e-cig lies and half-truths continuing, but they are getting worse. Japan owns the cigarette industry, over there. There's too much money to lose, if tobacco use declines or disappears.

It's not about health, it's about money and power.

Jerry, I hesitate to agree with you. I'm not into conspriacy theories or any speculative, entertaining crap of that sort.

JFK was killed by Oswald, acting alone. The 1969 lunar landing wasn't faked. UFOs are exactly that: Unidentified Flying Objects—and only that. Unidentified. But not sinister, nor extraterrestrial.

But I agree anyway. Big tobacco is falling all over themselves to push the FDA into enacting regulations that do away with devices predating their Blu and VUSE cash cows and post-tobacco lifeboats.

The money motive is too huge to be denied, even by a skeptical SOB like myself

My cute as a button,slim and trim 22 year old grand-daughter has aspired to be a cop for the last 10 years. She graduated college and she's going for it. Looks like she'll be accepted by the State Police.

This makes for an interesting reversal on the usual cute-as-a-button-slim-trim-chicks thing who can pretty much drive 100 mph, run down flocks of nuns on their lunch break from caring for terminal cancer patients without fear of getting a traffic citation over it (I'm sorry, officer *wink,* my foot got caught)

In this case, If I make the mistake—while driving a New Hampshire state highway—of allowing my grip on the steering wheel to drift from the NH-mandated 10/2 o'clock position I'm looking at The Chair (your scofflaw ... is grass *wink*)

Got to rely this story to y'all. Last night we left my Mom's about 7 and I went home and my son said he was going visiting so I said ok when will you be home and he said before midnight. Well about 11:30 I here the door and here he comes. He had gone to the store and bought a cake mix took it over to his friends house and made me a surprise birthday cake and he had done it before midnight, which was technically important to him. And get this he also bought some store made German chocolate brownies as back up in case the cake didn't turn out . I really hit the jackpot with this kid .

Speaking of cops....Earlier tonight I was driving down the road when all of a sudden....BLUE LIGHTS ON MY AZZ!!!!!!!!!!! I was looking a place too pull over and that bass turd passed me!!!!! WOO WHOO!!!!!!!!! Then after my little shopping trip was over I was leaving the Lowe's parking lot....in the correct lane..heading the correct direction...Outta the corner of my eye I catch a car cutting across the parking spaces so I locked in as it was on course too cut in front of me...Yepp another cop and dang if he didn't drive right in front of me....Bet this.......I let off just enough too avoid a collision almost scrubbing the decals off that car

I've been needing a vacuum...Earlier I saw where Lowes had the Shark Navigator on the Black Friday deal-e-ohh....149 on sale 99....So I got one and brought it on home...Pretty sure I set a new world record for the least square footage containing the most dust and dirt...i took the canister outside too dump into the woods....yeah... there was a huge dust ball after a short vacuuming so I kicked it too confirm...yepp it was all dust and well....just take it from me....don't kick a dust ball that's near as big as a football...I liked it so well that I went back and got Mom one for Christmas...That woman vacuums every dang day...
