I'm sorry you had to see that.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335320552964298416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1111379723959333762005-03-20T23:35:00.000-05:002005-03-20T23:35:00.000-05:00That anyone still smokes in this day and age amaze...That anyone still smokes in this day and age amazes me! It also makes my skin crawl to see a parent subject their innocent children to their careless behaviour! This is one of my few soap boxes I jump up on and can't stop. Smoking! ugh!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985878650658789752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1111368021918767362005-03-20T20:20:00.000-05:002005-03-20T20:20:00.000-05:00I feel the same way...

I don't have to worry about asthma attacks as much, either...<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for smoking to become extinguishedLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384668229076824929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1111329901091423822005-03-20T09:45:00.000-05:002005-03-20T09:45:00.000-05:00It is difficult to understand why someone would sm...It is difficult to understand why someone would smoke with a child in the car. In car smoking is apparently the hot trend. Watch as you drive...every second person seems to be smoking.<BR/><BR/>As for London traffic jams, yes they are laughable compared to what larger cities call real traffic jams. Most Londoners would freak out to drive/park on Ottawa's Queensway at rush hour. That being said, London is small but can be incredibly difficult to traverse at peak times. The city has grown but the road infrastructure hasn't. It's always a shock to me when I'm there. The Horton Street extension seems to be the only significant change.Ottawa Pocket Watcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13170446530212466184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1111301910461727392005-03-20T01:58:00.000-05:002005-03-20T01:58:00.000-05:00Genuine wrote a similar post over at JuJuBee's sit...Genuine wrote a similar post over at JuJuBee's site (http://jujubeejenny.blogspot.com/). This kind of thing just makes me furious! If you don't care about your own health, at least care about the health of your baby!!<BR/><BR/>Sadly, I have seen this, too. I wish there was something I could do, but as you pointed out, you can't risk someone pulling a gun on you because you made them mad. Just sad!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501710690472006659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1111296552438331042005-03-20T00:29:00.000-05:002005-03-20T00:29:00.000-05:00Good post!
