All of those proudly pro smoking women who post here should read this. In a few years they, too, will be wheeling down the aisle of the grocery store in one of those electric carts. By the way, those electric carts cost money which raises the food cost for all of the rest of us who do not smoke.

Selfish, ignorant smokers have NO right to continue to smoke and inflict THEIR bodily infimarties on us. If you smoke, there should be NO handicap parking. If you smoke, there should be no electric cart use in the store. If you smoke, you did it to yourself, so live with it. Maybe a younger smoker will see you gasping as you have to walk those extra steps to the store and to the checkout and decide that smoking really is not worth it after all.

You will find out exactly what I meant when you need to wear an oxygen tank 24/7 just to keep your eyes from bulging out of your face while you suffocate alive because of your smoking.

Although I can understand why you think my head might be the same as yours, I am sorry to tell you that I, unlike you, do not have crap for brains. The proof of that is that I do not smoke.

Most who now suffer from COPD started smoking back Aprox. 35-45 years ago. Most people back didn't know the real harm smoking caused. We have to give them a break, but must do our best to keep younger people from starting to smoke. What's done is done, we can't go back. It's the future we have to worry about.

You are so wrong....They should not let a 78 women use the carts because she chooses to smoke. I can tell your mom doesnt have this. How cruel can you be? If a women at her age stops smoking...its a known fact her health will not change. You need to voluteer your energy to the elderly....or maybe not..

hey you are not a very nice person are you, I am not a smoker and i have COPD. I am sure you did something in your life that was not all that great. People don't realize when they are young what smoking can do to them and its not that easy for one to stop... I think this was a very rude comment on your part...

While the overwhelning majorty of people with COPD got it from years of smoking, remember not everyone with COPD is or was a smoker. There are a few others ways one can aquire it. I have it due to a genetic issue, others may have gotten it from condations at work ect.

YOU lack empathy and Compassion, something that is essential in society, God help us as a society with degenerates such as yourself being a part of it, but thankfully Morons such as yourself arent the norm and occupy a small space. I hope you don't have or never have children you can spew this garbage to.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Gemini

It's a red letter day for relationships under the Lunar Eclipse in your house of significant others, because you're facing some important and far-reaching changes to some of them. The pressure has been building since the Gemini Solar Eclipse on May 20. f you've known for some time that things aren't working out, you're about to reach a crisis point as becomes obvious that the present situation can't continue much longer. The coming New Moon in Gemini on June 19 will see progress of one kind or another, though this unusual eclipse cycle will have a far-reaching effect. You may have to be cruel to be kind, or more forceful than you would like, in order to get your point across, but do you really have any viable alternative?
