But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Well...Im one of those 'start and stop' smokers.... but recently seem to have cut out the stopping LOL

I started at 12 stopped at 17 when I was pregnant, didnt start again till I was 21... then I stopped a few months later and now started again when my first hubby passed away... dunno why but it was a stupid lill comfort and gave me something to do...I know....*weird!*

I used to smoke a pack a day whilst waiting for the fiancee visa, but since I moved I smoke less and less..... the last ten packs of ciggies my hubby bought me, lasted me like 3 weeks, whilst his 10 last him just under one week! So........

I tried cigarettes in highschool because all my friends picked up smoking. SOOOOOOO glad I stayed away from that. They're all hooked and I have fresh breath. It's so nice. My dad tries to quit every year. Then he starts chewing on these little cigars. Then he lights one and says "well it's better than a cigarette" and before we know it he's back on the marlboro's.
