Picture in your mind  the most wonderful, pleasant, place you have ever seen. Maybe a vacation.  The mountains.  The sea.  The desert. The ocean.  Whatever flips your switch.

Picuture your most favoirite thing to eat. Pizza.  Chocolate cake.  Chess pie. Whatever makes you drool.

If you picture these---have you?   

You are now  more 'open' to vice...or greed...or  self-centeredness.

That is,  you 'want' that thing.

Mind you. That is what Advertisers want to make happen.

They want you to be 'open' to their product.

This 'appetitive stimuli'   can make me and you  more  impulsive---even in  areas unrelated. It does not have to be 'good' things or thoughs...it can be 'bad' things or thoughts.

  For example, if we have a bad evalution at work...a bad stimuli....we transfer that to a behavior...like   'having a drink or two'  or  'have a dozen or so donuts'---to   'reward'  ourselves....

Do you believe it?

Evil lurks. What I used to think was evil is even more evil now. What I used to do is evil now. The more wisdom I get the more I see of evil. Our teaching tells us about Evil. The Devil, like a Roaring Lion.  To and fro --wondering what he can do. I got one em Evil things in the mail.  I did not know what to make of it. It was all done up in real professional style, with them finished looked put-togther things.  I stood there for a little bit looking at it --kind of wondering,  and kind of transformed.  I had never seen this before. I usually just throw that stuff away, but this looked bright, shining, invitin--kind of like em lights Satan has down by the girlie shows.  Then I commence to read it: 

The Abridged Guide to    Snusing.(front page)

I am wondering:  What the crap is this?  "Snusing"  ...what is that?   I turn the page.  They goin to tell me.  Snus is...a tasty fresh tobacco pleasure  that originated in Sweden...smokeless...(no spitting necessary )...and comes in pouch...and is kept in refrigerator...to keep fresh and tasty.....and all you do is "tuck"  between upper lip and gum...then  "tingle"..(feel the pleasure in 5 minutes ...)..hmmm sounds kinda like sex....

then  "taste"...  (up to 30 minutes...)...and then it wants me to picture myself  flying in a jet plane...stuck in the middle seat.....but  man, I can snus.....and on an on it goes...and offers me a free tin of snus......but on the back...it warns me  that it is not a safe alternative to cigarettes...

hmmm...I guess that must tell it all....

you ever had a relative to die of lung cancer?

not a pretty sight.....

them Camels blew his lungs out...

now   Camel is puttin out nice brochures for the kids to dip it between the lip and  gum....

so...i wonder what   cancer would look like if it et yore face and nose away....?

Shame  on YOU CamEL!

You ought to have your asss (eh, Camel) kicked.

I'm getting too old for this. (preparing for kids-grand-kids to come). I am getting old, and my wife has three grand-kids coming--9, 7, and 2 months--who crys 24/7--has stomach probs. and today the printer went out --business at home--have to work tonight getting caught up--had to rush out--buy new printer...wife cooking all day.  we are not used to it. she is arthritic. and we get in fights..kind of...in the kitchen..i am helping her... Now I can understand why my grand daddy (when I was a teen) caught one of the little grand kids --about 5 years old--one time  slamming doors...running in one door and out the other...letting them screens 'slap'...and grand daddy grabs him and holds him over that well on the back porch  and tells him if he 'slams one more door, I'm gonna drop you in this well"!...shore did happen.  but, knowing grand daddy he wouldn't have. (i'm sure). LOL  anyway, i am cleaning our bed-room and i see this b/d present  (the two boys are having theirs) and I see this WI thing...i did not even know what it was...my wife says it's her business...well,  the grand-kids 7 and 9 plays games all time...i doubt if they have a breath of fresh air except maybe hanging their head out the window on the way to school..i told my step-daughter that they going to weigh  300 lb (the kids) before they are 30 and be dying of clogged arteries...drinking cases of pop and staying on the game-stations...anyway  those WI's cost a bundle...and I am barely coming down from the sky...spending that kind of money when they have boxes of games, tv set ups, and so forth and have to shovel some out the back door every day just to get some new one in the front door...boy  ...am i out of snuff...and out of touch, I guess...and  I guess that's why my wife names me  Crabbie Pants...anyway I am real practical and say  instead of spending vast monies on b/d  and Christmas all the time,   most of that money should be put up for their college fund...but who listens to praticality  these days...

if anybody out there feels even a fourth like i do let me know...and if you   think i am bad, bad,  ok...so be it...takes us all to keep this damn world going around...just an ole timer...i guess...psssng and moaning...
