Hmm, I wonder if the old image is cached.

I just tried something else.  How about these smileys below?
 

[stroh]

Ah, yes.  5 smileys, in formation. 


You know, the sad part is: The "chiclet" is cool, and could have some good applications! (I always thought it was real)

Thanks dys.!

What?

I never drink when I get home. However I almost always have at least one pint later on in the evening.

...I usually end up coming home from regular work @ 1730, and going to help my wife run our pub...

You own a pub?  If you don't mind, I have a few questions for you. 

Has your state/municipality passed non-smoking legislation?
It just passed, and will be affective 9/2007

If no, how do you feel about such legislation?
I think it sucks

If yes, has it hurt your business?
All of the research I have done, if correct, means I will be out of business before the "cycle" of smoking drinkers return.

I quit smoking a few years ago, but when I smoked, like most smokers, I usually indulged a little more when I was drinking.  I sympathize with pub owners because it seems smoking is part of the pub culture.  On the other hand, it sure is more pleasant to go out for a beer and not come home smelling like an ashtray.

Some studies are showing the business is starting to increase in places where smoking has been banned.
Again, the research I have done shows that also.  But, we are a semi-new business, we inherited a *feces* load of debt when we "acquired" our place.  I put a ton of of money into the place for the "previous" owner, and I could not sustain a loss of business for any period of time right now.  And with talking to other bar owners, neither could they.

 Do you have space outside like put a fence around it known as a beer garden and they can allow to smoke outside but not inside. We get that in Scotland but you will need planning permisson for that and I don`t know about their rules there.

 Only trying to help you.

dystopia.

no habla chiclets.

in addition, I saw this guy walking outside William Pitt Union yesterday. He was tall with weathered jeans and blond hair down his waist, somewhere between 35-40 years old. I said to myself. *fudge*. It's Larry Diamond!

Depends on the night.  If it's a school night and I get home early (11pm) then I'll have a beer or too.  If its a school night and I get home late from studying (3am) then no.

If I was already out drinking that night, then maybe.  If I come home completely *feces*faced, then I just hope to make it upstairs to my bed.  If I wasn't already drinking that night, then yes.
