Hi everyone. I am Pimp559's wife. He has been all worked up over this thread about smoking, and I thought I'd drop in to take a peak. I've never been on this board as I am usually way too busy to take time out from work to enjoy a little free time. Anyway, I was shocked to say the least at some of your remarks towards me. I mean, come on, if you want to bash my hubby, that's one thing. To pull me into this is a completely different thing. Why do you have to be so rude to innocent bystanders who have had nothing at all to do with it? Specifically, Brooke, bogart, Blue Deuce, and superchicken. I hope you feel good about yourselves bashing someone's PREGNANT wife and unborn child. Please do not talk shit about me or my sweet little girl I am about to give birth to. My hubby may have a hard time expressing his opinion w/out coming across brash or judgemental, but that doesn't mean you should say horrible, nasty things about me and our daughter to be.
I too do not agree w/ smokers puffing away around non-smokers, especially at a baby shower. It is very rude. That is why I took the time to put out "No Smoking Please" signs all around. On the other hand, it is also hard to walk out to someone who is standing by their truck and ask them to put out their cig when they have just been very thoughtful and brought a very nice gift to your shower. I think what hubby was trying to say is that it puts us between a rock and a hard place. I mean, these people are our friends and do mean a lot to us, but I am not going to stand their and breathe in 2nd hand smoke so that it can be passed through my placenta into my babies womb. It just really makes me sad that it is even an issue around them. We do not spend a lot of time w/ them due to the fact that when we do it is like a smoke fest. I mean maybe a cig here and there I could deal with, but these people smoke one after another after another. It really does amaze me that they do not see that as rude.
Anyway, I was hoping that I could jump in here and settle things down a bit. Again, for those of you who said nasty things about me...thanks a lot....I really appreciate it. You do not know me and you've really hurt my feeling by saying horrible things about my baby girl. Maybe you all should take a step back and look at it from my eyes.
Also, for those of you on the money kick, life is not all about how much money you have. Yes, hubby and I live a very comfortable life, but we have also had NOTHING before and were just as happy. We work very hard for the nice things that we have. Money doesn't make you who you are....your family, friends, and how you choose to live your life is what it is all about. So for those of you who do not have as much as "Blue Deuce" so what??? As long as you are happy and have loved ones, then you are just as rich as he.
I too am a LOVER of banshees. I've ridden for several years and will raise my baby girl to be a banshee lover too. It is sad that the first time I visited this forum I found so many nasty comments about me. I'm not sure I'll invest too much more time here as I really do not want to be pulled into a childish name-calling match.
Thanks for your time and please, please have a little respect for the non-present spouses and children of the members of this board.
Thx for your time ~ A Lynn
