Dogs are kids. by muchagecko (4.00 / 1) #1 Tue Mar 20, 2007 at 08:41:49 PM EST
Although dogs aren't as much fun to play chess with as kids.

I have an anecdote concerning the frequent smoke breaks. I worked with a woman who was pissed that the smokers got more breaks at work than the non-smokers. So at 28, she started smoking - just for the extra breaks. Several years later she hated herself for ever picking up a cig. Last I heard she hadn't been able to quit.

Games, etc. by ana (4.00 / 1) #2 Tue Mar 20, 2007 at 08:46:54 PM EST
The dog makes up games and tries to teach them to us. Comparing notes, we find he's taught us both the same jousting kind of a game. He waits at one end of the yard, with a person standing in the middle. There's some feinting (suddenly jumping down into a knees-bent, play pose) and then he runs past at top speed. The person is supposed to tag him as he runs by. Go to the other end of the yard, rinse, repeat.

Lots of guys pick up smoking in the military. If you're resting while smoking, you're doing something. If you're just resting, somebody with more stripes than you will find you something to do. The quitting part sucks; I can say this, having watched three attempts to date.

So what if the games they play aren't chess?

I think ammo got his bad habit while he was in the military, but his sister was his pusher. Of course, she quit years ago, leaving ammo clutching his cancer sticks.

If she's tried three times - next time will probably be the charm. Seems that smokers need at least a few attempts at quitting before it sticks.
