We went, and bought not one, but two time-shares! Fools... anyway, while we were waiting for the agent's boss to finalize things, we went outside with the agent and smoked unfiltered Camels. Lord! It was like smoking burnt coffee! We've since been bankrupt and lost a house, car and both time-shares. <BR/><BR/>Ah, memories... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014192.post-1137597863144710032006-01-18T07:24:00.000-08:002006-01-18T07:24:00.000-08:00When I managed a Dairy Queen (oh, those many years...When I managed a Dairy Queen (oh, those many years ago now!), I used to smoke unfiltered Camels after particularly stressful evenings at the restaurant. I only did it for 3-4 months, but I must admit that it really did help me relax. :)Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658613231684184220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014192.post-1137534087227371512006-01-17T13:41:00.000-08:002006-01-17T13:41:00.000-08:00Beautiful memories, cracking up at "days we wish w...Beautiful memories, cracking up at "days we wish we smoked".Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645484704486562810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014192.post-1137465501400554032006-01-16T18:38:00.000-08:002006-01-16T18:38:00.000-08:00I have those days all the time.

Sometimes all it takes is just getting up in the morning. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014192.post-1137454102000620802006-01-16T15:28:00.000-08:002006-01-16T15:28:00.000-08:00Thank you for writing such a lovely tribute to Gra...Thank you for writing such a lovely tribute to Grandma, and to Katherine too.<BR/>I think she was a "little" high strung. She called it frazzled. I long for a quiet way to relax, but havent found anything yet.<BR/>I think, also, that Katherine wants to be alone sometimes. Dont all mothers??? She says she wishes she could plop her kids in front of the tv, go out and smoke. <BR/>Maybe you guys have too high of standards for yourself. Thus, leading to stress.<BR/>I certainly wasnt opposed to "plopping" you guys in front of the tv occassionly:)<BR/>God Bless Grandma, and all the young mothers out there:)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006604809385748459noreply@blogger.com
