Hate stoking the fire, but look at this Jimmy.... I think you just need to give up cigs, and you won't feel so upset over these laws: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Insurance/InsureYourHealth/HighCostOfSmoking.aspx

Your absolutely right Mikey, we need to quit.
I really appreciate your response.
Tweaked articles like the one you pasted are hard to dispute. They do insult common sense though.
I think I found that article. Smokers need not apply here 
If you read that article, you'll realize the employer, Weyco, absolutely HATES smokers.
Rebutting a few things it said:
- Since when do you sell your $500,000 house without repainting it? I think thats funny.
- Who gets their teeth dry cleaned?
- About the 6,000 employers who don't hire smokers. 
   Weyco admittedly spies on its employees. They are not someone I would want to work for.
   I really think this employer has gone too far. They'll admittedly fire someone for lighting up while vacation.
The justification has a footing: Smokers can be persecuted because they can quit, and it costs insurance companies money.
If you could renounce Judaism to escape persecution, would you?
The solution for me isn't one of faith though. Its one of character.
When good guys are suddenly depicted as bad guys, don't you want to ask the question "What happened?".
Mob mentality, I think, is always a bad thing.
Of all the people I've known in my life, 3 died from cancer, 2 of them were smokers
Therefore I could say 2 out of every 3 people who die from cancer, smoke.
But my group is made up of at least 100 of dead people that I've known.
From personal knowledge, the top killers would be old age, accidents, suicide and murder.

Yea, I think just about everything you see or hear via the media (whether newpaper, magazine - old and web, television and radio) will be at least somewhat twisted to meet the reporter's opinion. Even if it is fact, like say, the sun rising in the east. Who is to say east isn't really west.. There is a lot in the article I do not like. For example, as you said, what can be seen as spying. As far as 2 out of 3 people who die from cancer being smokers, it is hard to say what kills the other person. Second hand smoke or living or working in a really bad environment. How many coal miners died of something like lung cancer or something very close. I do not believe smokers are bad characters. And in regards to renouncing my faith. How does that really relate?!?!? In the early part of the 20th century, if I lived anywhere near Germany, that could have very likely have gotten me killed. But in killing me, did it harm anybody else like second hand smoke does. And remember, no comments about smoke from me coming out of the chimney. That would be very bad taste. Religion has absolutely nothing to do with this. Can I ask you to renounce any of your many great qualities? I suspect not, so don't go suggesting that my renouncing Judaism is the same thing as giving up smoking. Except for ealry 20th century Europe, or being in the wrong part of the middle east, where there are many crazy people (up the lines of Hitler), being Jewish is not going to worsen the quality of my life, make me die any sooner, or harm any body else around me.

I'd assume it has something to do with the space shuttles. 
The Thunderbirds were GREAT today. They can climb straight up, 6 miles in 2 minutes. AWESOME!
19 more miles up and they'd be in a stationary orbit.
It was also the F15's last official flight today. It was pretty incredible to see these planes hoover

Are they "Aborting to Orbit" as in "Abort to Orbit"? Does Jimmy know what that means? HINT: It's similair to a "Trans Atlanta Abort". Sounds like you're peeved by the new Nevada smoking rules change. It's a great thing... See, if you give up cigs, a non-smoking place would be great.

In time, Lost Wages will become more and more smoke free. That be a very, very great thing. Yea, those flight teams (Thunderbirds and the Navy's Blue Angels) are fantasic. And I love it when they fly totally vertical. "Abort to Orbit" is what happens upon the launch of the Shuttle, when something nasty happens and they land at the "end" of the first orbit. I believe it usually means landing at the shuttles old landing spot in California. But may mean Florida.

The rehost project at Mgm...that would be what? September 1996 to December 1996...
I thought I had one brain cell for each day in my life, however, those are missing.

You didn't include the start and stop dates of the MGM Grand re-host project in the later half of 1997....

Jimmy... It was August 1997 to December 1997... It was one of the most influential days in the history of LV...

Did you stop after the two beers? And by "two beers", I assume you don't mean two six packs or two kegs.

Yep...thats all I had. I wanted something to smooth out all the expresso I'd been drinking.
Becky had a Mom's Apple Pie drink. She sucked it on down.
I had two beers with Frank a while back too.

I am so pleased you stopped at two... What did you do differently, that you didn't turn those two into 100 or more? So, what is the word from Frank McDonald?

Woof..... There goes another one of my "favorite" old hotel/casino on the Lost Wages Strip. A sad day. Why did you let it happen, Jimmy Cutlar? You probably funded that $4 billion to the builders of the Echelon complex. Bite, Bite, Bite anybody who does that. 

Ya know, I helped install their Race and Sports book!!! It seems like a million years ago.
And I told the Board of Directors, yoose guys, yoose doos what ever yoose wants...money aints no object.
I think Stardust was the home of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, the guy the movie "Casino" was really about.
Ahhhh, I do I remember those days now.

And it didn't cost anything.

Just imagine if you were driving a Fererri Enzo. Or is that a Enzo Fererri? Like the guy who crashed one into a telephone pole or something in Malibu earlier in the year at 162 mph. The car was valued at $1 million. Note: The key word here is "was"....

In that little Mustang (or should I call it, the 97FM...I'll explain that later), it wouldn't much matter if I was going 180mph or 20mph. If I hit a telephone pole, I'd be in little bitty pieces either way.
I said 97FM instead of 97 Ford Mustang, BECAUSE, buzz words are still everywhere. Sonny keeps talking about the EDR. A fight happened in the EDR. He hates the Frontiers EDR. Every time, I ask him, whats the EDR again? He says
"The Employee Dining Room, or cafeteria". And what is it, a 45 is a pair of pliers...
LOL

I left home at 11:30 today, went up I515 through the spaghetti bowl to Summerlin Pkwy, to I215, then to Red Rock Casino on Charleston Blvd, to meet Paul to get GMas extra car keys. Then, I drove  to Decatur and Charleston to give GMa those car keys. Then I picked up Jennifer and Renee at Petsmart and took them home. I got to the Albertsons store near Sam's Town at 12:40. That's 44 miles of driving in Vegas, with 3 stops in a little over an hour.
Not bad!!!

To watch a football game with Bobby Shannon, someone I worked with at Northrop, and back in 1999/2000 in Boston, MA. We're cheering for opposing teams, so if his team wins, I am grabbing his 50" Sony High Def LCD 1080p TV and making a quick bolt for the door as I head back to Altamonte Springs.

And he's working at your favorite place, Raymond James.

Thats cool. So, he's a Tampan now?

Butt Dust is the same thing as Dingleberries....

This is just too weird!!!! Leave it to Dennifer and GrandMal...
