    I'm quite good at guilt trips. If it wasn't for those, I probably wouldn't be as spoiled as I am. Maybe I'll give it a try, thanks.

    I was hoping to get one of Logan's baby Cockatiels, but I'm not putting the bird's health at risk thanks to my mom's smoking.

    My grandpa quit back in 2004, and I'm so proud of him. I can't believe what he went through DIDN'T make my mom quit..

    Well, she doesn't listen to me.. Smoking's more important.

    Gizzie's spay? No exact date. I haven't received any donations yet.

    I would think that the guilt trip might work if you keep going at it, and start showing her all the things that cigarettes do to your body. Tell her you want her to be around when you are older and have kids.

    But I don't know what else you could do, I will pray for your mom that someday she can beat her addiction!
    I wish my mom had never started, but I wasn't around at the time, so.. And yes, I know it's hard, but I would be there to support her, and I want her to see how bad it is for her. SHE'S A NURSE. She knows how bad it is, she's seen people with LUNG CANCER and it still doesn't affect her!

    She knows what they do to the body, but maybe the guilt trip will work. The guilt trip works on almost everything, so maybe it will work on this. That would be the best thing she could ever do for me and herself.

    Thanks .

    Bri, my kids, my family, and friends, kept on and on and on until I quit. I felt so bad, exposing them to my bad habit, I couldn't stand to put them through it anymore. I was also coughing my head off most of the time. That, and the smell(among other things), was killing me.

    Keep telling your Mom, in a nice way, you would like for her to quit. You would like her to be around a few more years. She will eventually get the message. Good luck!!

    Thanks Barry!
