VT,Some days I'm there, but not most. Learned to deal with it. Not aware of many husbands and wives who share EVERYTHING. There are times she makes an anti comment and, as you state, I have trouble staring her square in the face. If she only knew.
After reading Daz's reply, it confirms one of my suspicions. If you interviewed, got to meet and really know, all who post here regularly and had a chance to pick their brains, analyze their lifestyles, learn about the histories of their SF and how they've expressed and supressed those feelings over the years, my guess is that you'd have trouble understanding exactly what makes us tick. What I'm saying is, you have trouble understanding my deal (on many levels) and Daz's, well, I'm saying you'd have trouble understanding how all the others here at Video Talk tick. Not because you are comprehension deficient, but because the smoking fetish defies rationalization.
Here's an example, Newport 100s, Marlboro 100s, Marlboro Lights 100s and Marlboro Menthol 100s float my boat. They're my fetish brands. Now go ask me why and how they are. Popularity? To a degree. Then Marlboro Lights king size (regular length) should be No. 1 for me. It isn't. Actually a turnoff. Go figure. Ask the others why they "fancy" their SF brands.
