Possibly back in "the day" but Im just hooked on nicotine now.

A most powerful drug it is. The wife and I tried Chantix in January
and had pretty good luck with it for several months. It works as
advertised.

My brother is trying Chantix. He took it for a couple of weeks or so then
stopped. Hasn't had a cigarette in two or three months now after smoking
for 30+ years.

Promising.

Is that really Venus?

If they exist, they have been buzzing us for years.Why? What purpose could
there possibly be to it.
Just alien kids out for a joyride?
Is it so hard to believe it is Venus?

40 years ago I saw a huge meteor ripping through the night sky. It entered
the atmosphere over Indiana and landed in the Atlantic Ocean. (I read a few
years ago that it was actually a re-entering Soviet satellite, but that does
much matter) Hundreds of people saw it hover and even land. A HS science
teacher with binoculars saw windows.
I saw it. Didn't hover, didn't land, didn't have windows; just burning up.
Yeah, I think it is Venus.

That's a good start, tell him not to let his guard down. Based on
personal experience you are really not out of the danger zone until
you begin to find the smell of smoke offensive. Even after a year I
would still find myself reaching for a cigarette in stressful
situations.

Cigarette smoke doens't bother me much at all.

Booze now, that's an entirely different story.

I hate the smell of smoke on a person, but if I get a whiff of someone
lighting a cig. outside, it still smells good. I don't think I have a
had a cig. in over 5 yrs.

Same advice to you then, don't let your guard down. It's a tough
habit to break because of all the social cues that build up such as:
after dinner, first cup of coffee, drinking with friends, stressful
situations, etc. The nicotine addiction is almost the easy part
compared with the others.

Kites could account for half of "UFO's."
Helium balloons with lights maybe another 30%.
Perhaps RC planes/choppers with lights another 10%.
Methane and other reflective anomalies maybe 5%.
So 95% is BS, and only 5% is real alien spaceships.
Maybe half the aliens are okay folks, and just curious about us.
The other half of the alien spaceships have death rays,
disintegrators, and that ray gun that shrinks sexual organs.
Most of them keep a low profile, because they don't like publicity.
I can live with those odds, and refuse to let it keep me from boating.

Interesting to note that the official policy is to "ignore radar
returns that don't comply with the operational characteristics" of
conventional fixed wing aircraft or helicopters.

The money would be better spernt fixing the bugs in the RADAR that
give you these glitches.


A late friend of mine was a SAGE Radar tech about 40 years ago. He stated
they clocked a bogie at 5000 miles per hour and it then made a right turn.
He said they checked the radar and absolutely nada was wrong. I believe
there are most likely UFO's. To think we are the only sentient beings in
the universe is rather concieted.

Personally, and speaking from experience, I would never recommend
doing that. I found it easier the first couple of years to just stay
away from people who smoked. That's gotten a lot easier than it used
to be.
