Phlegm can come from a build-up of tar in the lungs from years of heavy smoking. (Even only a few years, actually). Which is why smokers cough so much - they're oxygen is being supressed with phlegm/tar/etc.

Me too. And I also have the cough.

I've gone three hours and cried hysterically. My husband felt like shit because he was the one who told me I should quit. Back on a pack a day now.
Gotta die'ah something.

Allan Carr is a guy from England who used to smoke more than 100 cigarettes a day until through his heavy addiction he found out how smoking can easily be quit.His book turned out to become a bestseller,his method is called easy way.One thing is,you may smoke while you read the book.He doesn't want you to stop immediately,you are adviced to continue smoking until you've finished the book.
Carr afterwards put out a book to stop smoking for ever,I should get that one. Because the easier you quit,the easier you start again.

Not everyone's capable of quitting cold turkey. And just because you started up after quitting for a time doesn't mean you can't quit again for a time. Perhaps next time you'll quit for longer than the last.
Did he help you try to quit? Or did he just tell you to?

He helped. But I didn't want to. It doesn't work if even just a small part of you doesn't want it for yourself.
Very true.

I'm a big fan of ironic deaths. We have dry heat where we live. I wake up every morning with nose bleeds, dry throat/mouth, etc. Lead-paint based heaters in the middle of Troy, NY that I sleep right next to every night to stay warm. It'll probably be an ironic case of walking pneumonia or aspestos, something to that effect, and not the pack and a half a day of Marb red 100s.
Have you ever gone a week without a good justification?
That was a great line from The Big Chill.
I think he (JG) used the word rationalization, though. And wasn't he playing a writer for People mag, or somethang like that?
Point spot on...

That's exactly what I was thinking of when I said it, too! I must use that line once a day... and yes, he says "rationalization", but I find the expression works interchangably... he was playing some kind of journalist, I think? Wasn't he also a drug dealer, or something? Or was that the other guy? Been so long since I've seen it, been trying to find it on somewhere.
Got it on DVD. Pull it out every now and then, as the sound track kicks iffen you like Motown, and lotsa other '60s stuff. I think William Hurt was the drug-addled persona; and he pulled it off well. IMO, a classic for its time period and genre. But maybe that's me just rationalizing my age... :eek::D
Really dig the funeral service scene where Kevin Costner never shows up; just his slit wrists. And the Stones are playing in the background: You Can't Always Get What You Want..."

Should pick it up on DVD if I can find it somewhere, or off line. The soundtrack does kick ass, was always into Motown and old stuff like that. As for rationalizing your age... you're only as old as you feel, so long as you don't feel like shit you're a ok. ;)
The funeral service scene was always iconic to me. There's actually a scene in another movie, High Fidelity with John Cussack, where they're counting down, top 5 songs about death... You Can't Always Get What You Want is one of them... Jack Black then says, "No, immediate disqualification because of it's involvement with The Big Chill." ;)

Very good on aspastas.
Also tasty with asparagus.
But shouldn't this be in the What I'm Having for Dinner thread?

A moment ago I turned on the teevee just in time to hear Larry ask his guest "So, do you think there's a connection between Chile and Haiti?"
'Nuff said.

A year later and Larry King is still resonating with the American people who revive this thread with vigor and optimism for a bright new day. More current than Michael Jackson, more powerful than O. J. Simpson, a better talk show host than Jay Leno - the man knows no bounds. He is without peer in the world of high class entertainment.
Hammer it down Larry King, hammer it down.
