Morning all. Today is really dragging. Maybe a little convo here will help speed things along. 

Tonight, FI and I are going to our last Devils game of the season. There's another home game on Thursday but I have my final dress fitting and FI is going to the NFL draft so we ended up selling our tickets. I'm pretty bummed the Devils didn't make the post-season this year. It's like the 2nd time in 16 years we didn't make the playoffs. It blows. 

I read this morning that NYC wants to change the legal (cigarette) smoking age to 21. I'm curious what people think of this. I see no problem with it at all, personally. You can't drink until you're 21 so why not add smoking in with that.

    You make a valid point, however, do you think teens will listen? They smoke before 18 now, what makes the lawmakers think the trend wont continue?

    My invites come tomorrow, eek! We will have to assemble all 200 of them and I am not looking forward to that.

    Today's my first day back at work after an awesome weekend up in NYC, so I'm dragging from that. DRAGGING. I wanna be back up there instead of down here where you can sweep your hand through the air and come up with a palm full of pollen.

    I think it's a stupid move. Over time it's going to change the culture of cigarette smoking, idealize it for "adults" and make it more appealing to younger folks. Just like alcohol is.

    Teens tend to drink because it's a "grown up" thing that young adults can do - it's cool because it's taboo. That same mentality is going to come with cigarettes soon. I mean, fewer people going to binge-smoke like they binge drink, but teens rebel and deliberately try to cross the lines of social taboos (hair, piercings, tattoos, and other non- traditional-middle class - white -American-values. ) just to do it. They may drink to rebel, and they'll smoke to rebel too. Once it's legal, it won't be as cool.

    If you're going to make it for 21+, you might as well just make it illegal. It'll help our healthcare system

    PS - I don't smoke and I hate being around it.

    PPS - And I'm in the camp that if you can die in the military for your country at 19, you should be able to have a beer/cigarette to blow off some of the steam that comes with the job.

    Yes today is dragging.

    I think it's smart for cigarette smoking to be raised to 21.  If they aren't as acessible as a younger age may be it will give someone time to think over smoking and the potential health hazards. Does that make any sense?

    I really don't want to be at work.  We close on the house yesterday and I just want to be over there cleaning up and moving boxes in.  We aren't officially moving in until 5/4.  We finally decided on a color for the master bedroom too. It's a light green.

    We also have a wedding date with the church and now we need to find a venue.  Life is a bit crazy but good crazy.

    I feel like when you're in high school there's so much more peer pressure to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, try drugs vs when you're 21 and in college or in the workforce. If the age for smoking were raised, and this made it that much harder for kids to get cigarettes, they're much less likely to become addicted to it. 

    Like I said in my response to Stina above, I started smoking cigarettes when I was 16 years old. For the most part, I couldn't and didn't get them on my own but I had friends who were older and they'd buy me packs. I smoked for 7 years before I was finally able to kick the habit and it was 100% without a doubt the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. 


    ETA: I'm not saying there is NO peer pressure after high school, just that TO ME it seems more prevalent in high school and I feel like as we get older, we feel more comfortable with saying no to things we don't actually want to do.

    I honestly don't know whether or not I agree with making 21 the legal age for smoking cigarettes. I see both sides of the argument and I can't make up my mind whether it would help or not.

    FI and I finalized our menu with our caterer last weekend which was pretty cool. For one of our cocktail hour apps we have a tomato bisque shooter with a small grilled cheese slice on top the glass which sounds absolutely amazing to me lol. Unfortunately, I won't get to eat it while it's being served since I'll be taking pictures but maybe I can snag one before we make our entrance lol.

    Peer pressure story: My roommate and I were drinking (I think I was still 20) in our dry dorm room with our 19 y.o. friend N. She and I were doing shots. He didn't want to do one and she made him feel bad, callin him a pu**y (idk if it counts as a swear word). I told him he didn't have to take a shot if he didn't want to, then she told me I was not helping him man-up. :/ He nursed it and she made fun of him.

    On a better note, my boss was passing out Godiva chocolates :)

    I vote we make cigarettes illegal & make weed legal and just be done with it. I realize that could be an unpopular opinion, but hey, this is America.

    RDR, I'm sorry you & Mr. Myers aren't friends anymore. I had a serial killer dream recently too, and it was terrifying.

    I feel like I need to keep a dream journal. I remember so many of my dreams as soon as I wake up, and then forget them. And I feel like it would be a very interesting look into my psyche if I could write them all down.

    I concur!

    I dreamed that a girl I knew in middle school who I just recently unfriended stopped by on a Friday at like 9:30pm as I was getting into bed. I told her she could make it quick, becaue I had to be up at 5am. She wouldn't leave and was wondering why I didn't want to eat pizza with her family. It was like hello! I just brushed my teeth and am in my reindeer PJs.

    I'll have Timmy save one for both of us! If we miss out we can always do a "mini-food" party on our own time and make little shooters of everything!

    As far as smoking goes, I just can't agree with raising the age limit to 21. I don't smoke and I hate smoking. I hate what it does to people in regards to their health, quality of life, and the quality of their children's lives but I just can't condone raising the age limit for other reasons. Those reasons are 1. You're legally an adult at 18. That means you can vote and join the military. I feel like this is sort of a slippery slope of limiting the rights of adults (I also hate that the drinking age is 21 and is essentially mandated by the federal gov't.). I think what we need to focus on is not the idea that taking away something "bad" will improve young adult's health and lives. Instead we need to work on awareness and on defeating the culture that drinking and smoking is sexy and desirable.

    I feel like it made a major impression on me when my parents allowed me and my sisters to have a drink at the dinner table starting around age 13 but only on special occasions. As we got older, like around 17 or 18, my mom would share her wine or hard lemonade with us casually. I didn't hop into the college culture thinking OMG easy access to alcohol! And I definitely didn't lose myself in a wash of binge drinking, smoking, or doing drugs.

    I'm sure some of this is probably due to my personality and my upbringing. My parents are not smokers so I didn't grow up in a smoke-friendly household and I've never grown to like how cigarettes smell. They ruin your clothes, your furniture, your skin, outside of all of the major health implications. Maybe it's just the scare tactics they use in those D.A.R.E. and other anti-drug classes worked on me and not others.

    I'm all about states saying you can't smoke in public spaces like government offices, courts, etc. and I agree that private companies also have the right to limit smoking in their environs. However, I don't agree to raising the legal age limit. We might as well at that point say you aren't even a legal adult until you're 18. Raising the age limit isn't going to stop one single kid from smoking if they really want to, and honestly, might even raise the cool factor of smoking underage.

    I've been on Pottermore and reading HP (apparently) way too much lately ... all my dreams over the last week have at least vaguely had to do with HP.

    I just wish I could keep my wand. Laurel and phoenix feather. That is, quite frankly, a kick*ss wand. And my world is so much better when I have it.

    I got nothing else.

    ETA: Oh wait yeah I do. I hate cigarette smoke because it gets in fabric and fabricy substances and is impossible to eradicate. I hate throwing out yarn because of smoke, but I can't tolerate it at all.

    Today is dragging at work, I didn't want to get out of bed this morning and BF is getting out of work early.

    My eye doctor gave me a sample of new contact lenses and I hate them. My eyes are so so dry. I just want my old brand back. I got back to the eye doctor Saturday so I'm going to order my old brand and hopefully he'll have samples to hold me over until they're shipped.

    This totally! I have the strangest dreams all the time and I remember them and then forget by the afternoon. My dreams don't make any sense but they have the most random people and things happen in them. Haha I still remember a couple weeks ago I had a dream about getting married in my parent's living room and then a week later I dreamed about getting married in a huge convention center that was full of people going to different conventions and I was just wondering around in my wedding dress lol.

And I feel like it would be a very interesting look into my psyche if I could write them all down. Posted by BriSox81[/QUOTE] I concur! I dreamed that a girl I knew in middle school who I just recently unfriended stopped by on a Friday at like 9:30pm as I was getting into bed. I told her she could make it quick, becaue I had to be up at 5am.<strong> She wouldn't leave and was wondering why I didn't want to eat pizza with her family. It was like hello! I just brushed my teeth and am in my reindeer PJs.</strong>

    [QUOTE]I've been on Pottermore and r<strong>eading HP (apparently) way too much lately </strong>... all my dreams over the last week have at least vaguely had to do with HP. I just wish I could keep my wand. Laurel and phoenix feather. That is, quite frankly, a kick*ss wand. And my world is so much better when I have it. I got nothing else. ETA: <strong>Oh wait yeah I do. I hate cigarette smoke because it gets in fabric and fabricy substances and is impossible to eradicate. I hate throwing out yarn because of smoke, but I can't tolerate it at all.</strong>

    I wish I had time to go on Pottermore more often. I haven't been on in months. I'm on the computer all day, so when I go home I don't want to be.

    I had a dream the other night that I was being chased by friends of mine that were dressed like they came out of some WOW/S&M conference and they were trying to kill me. I was using the Accio spell like it was nobody's bidnez (I'm on GoF and had just finished the chapter with the 1st task).

    I keep most of my stuff in my room or upstairs at BF's house. My mom smokes and will sit in the middle of the room, light up and ask "Is the smoke bothering you?" if I say yes, she gets an attitude like "why can't I smoke in my own house to relax?" BF's parents are chain smokers, so if I leave a jacket in the kitchen, no matter whether or not it was recently washed, it goes in the wash when I go home.

    I just use regular detergent, but normally stuff isn't exposed for more than a few hours.

    H's mom is a smoker and has been since he can remember. She's very conscientious about her smoking. She never, ever, ever smokes inside the house or near a doorway into the house. The only time she smokes indoors is at the bar her and my FIL go to where EVERYONE is smoking. 

    She knows I have a very hard time breathing around cigarette smoke, so she tries very hard to keep it out of my face, but yes, when we go to that bar, it does get on my clothes, and it's gross. A good washing with Tide gets it out no problem. 

    She's tried to quit so many times, she just can't do it at this point. I had a point to all of this, but then I had to go help my anti-tech co worker link a page to facebook... 

    Also, dreams: I had one on our honeymoon that I was 4 months pregnant and was going to have an abortion. My BFF stopped talking to me because of it. I woke up in a cold sweat. It sucked. <-- I get the Debbie Downer award today...

    Well, I JUST quit my job! Technically, I gave them one week's notice. The job I have been interviewing for offered me the salary I requested, AND they have health benefits (something I wasn't sure about), AND I get two weeks vacation, AND they are closed for a week at the end of summer and between Xmas and New Years. I am so, so, so excited. I have so much to do to get my sh!t before leaving this job, but there is finally an end in sight. 

    Now that I can finally stop stressing, I can start looking for a car, start going to the gym again, and relaxing in the evenings (instead of crying). Whew!
