Smoking is just not worth it. I was just thinking about my mom today. At age
57, the skin on her face kind of crinkled so that she looked at least 77.
Then, at age 60, her voice changed to a baritone almost, so that she sounds
like the two sisters on The Simpson's TV show. And that is not even
counting the several minutes of wet coughing every morning and her
complaining about how all that coughing makes her chest hurt. Oh, and the
stroke she had in 2000 so now her right hand doesn't work right. But she
weighs 122# and she is darned proud of that, you betcha!
