Yeah. Hos relationship with his sister is complicated too ..well her relationship with him and their brother.

I'll probably piss several people off including M's mom but I'm going to talk to M about declaring the house a No Smoking Zone. She doesn't need second hand smoke. She doesn't need to smoke (not sure how that is going to go for her but she is a day and half cigarette free).

Our wings are not tired.

My brother, who is being treated for lung cancer, has been doing one cigarette a day. Lighting it about 5 times for a puff or two at a time. He's smoked for 60 years so we are impressed. He's only smoked outside for many years.

Mike Lawler has been very vocal about the need to solve the "antisemitism crisis on college campuses" issue too, and among all the horrors this administration has unleashed, hiding behind a shield of "protect the students from antisemitism" so they can pull evil Nazi shit like disappearing Palestinian activists is pretty fucking beyond.

It really is.

If M's mom has an oxygen tank then there is going to be no smoking. She doesn't have any kind of self control at all and is very impulse driven. Which will make it hard but last year she caught the bathroom trash can on fire twice because she tossed the ashes from the ash tray in there and forgot she had a lot/smoldering cigarette. And recently she's been caught falling asleep with a cigarette on her hand.

I think this will be hell for everyone but I'm going to spread the misery around.

Word. Smoking and oxygen tanks are not mixy things. Askye, I think you have a right to a home that’s not in danger of blowing up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes.

I am obviously waiting for my U to be stripped of funding, and then we'll see. Like, I'm not particularly worried about my exact job, but this was not the best time for a full leadership transition all the way up my chain of command!! ::am drinking::

Or being filled with smoke regardless!!

That seems really hard for M. And consequently for you.

I like the one cigarette a day idea. I believe they also make vapes that are easier for the elderly, although I don't know how that interacts with Oxygen. I was looking into for my mother until I realized that she will literally never listen to me. She needs to be tricked into thinking something is her own idea and that she can do it with no help. We are so much alike, except she is not at all bossy. She is judgy,but not bossy and wants the same respect.
