[C-U Smokefree] Fwd: I did get my editorial in the News-Gazette Saturday, November 29

Sun Nov 30 20:12:20 CST 2003

Hi all--

I do not seek or reply to messages from people I do not know or have not 
sought contact from.  The stuff below is FYI and for suggestions as to who this 
person is and what he wants.

I have forwarded an earlier message from the same person to the listserve and 
asked for help to identify him, but I received no such help.

Thanks

Theo

<< Dear theodore,

I did get my edlitorial in News-Gazette Saturday, November 29.  I hope they 
stop promoting merchandise on cigarette packs. i still see Camel Cash slips on 
camel packs. I haven't gotten a catalogue or anything. I only got a deck of 
cards and a shotglass off those once.  I did not find as many of them as I did 
Marlboro UPCs, worth "5 miles" each.  

I had some freinds who sued to save those,a nd for 150 of them, they got a 
$15.00 prepaid gasolinecard. i wouln't mind having that, but I don't want to get 
on maili g lsits soI won't send any of those in.

I ahve gotten so screwed at last minute, I am P. O> with LiquidLoot pop caps. 
I thought I surely ahd a duffle bag nailed down last week, but No, I got 
outbid at last minute. The web page with my bid was not updated when time was 
about to run out.  I did get two T-shirts, a pair of 7UP boxer trunks and a DVD of 
"Lord of the Rings" and a commemorative pen, but I ahve 5270 ppoints left, 
msotly off bottle caps found in trash or recyclign or cardbopard cartons of 
12-packs of cans of 7up, AW< Sunkist, dn.l and Canada Dry. I bought dn.L as there 
were couppons ggood till december 1, and i ahve redeemed all i ahd.  I hinted 
lots of papers when that one came out last spring.

The peiople who are trying to get pop machines out of schools must feel the 
way about pop coupons that I do about ciggie coupons, but I am trying to 
recover the 7.5% sales tax on pop, that was levied, after foods (in supermarkets, 
not preapred to eat on premises)  tax went down to 1%, supposedly to fund a 1992 
Chicago World's Fair.  The fair never materialized, the 1984 New Orleans 
World's Fair having gone bankrupt.  So I am trying totrecover the tax by buying 
brands of pop with manufacturer's coupons.  But those are drying up rapidly. 
Those people who redeem coiunterfeit and fraudulent Internet-generated coupons 
are literally shooting the goose that laid the golden egg.  There are fewer good 
coupons and very few if any rebates for free-product coupons, as there used 
to be.

website.

I went to Sunday brunch at Silver Creek today. I was amused by seeing old 
Camel and Chesterfield non-filter cigarette ads from magazines, framed ,in the 
men's room. That restaurant has been smoke-free ever since it first went into 
business.   The old "Not a cough in a carload," or similar sayings,a nd the fact 
that they help steady nerves, as claimed in pre-Surgeon General's report 
days!   If they only knew back then!  Those ciggies did have bettrer tobacco than 
the harsh tobacco in filter cigarettes. Pipes have much more choice of 
tobaccos and better tobaccos than cigarettes, yet not many people are still smoking 
pipes. I hardly ever see them in public any more.  

I am glad cigarettes are on their way out but not enough. They are still "too 
cheap"if people can afford them  at all. I quit cigars and i have only an 
occasiopnal pipe from tobacco I bought months ago. I found a couple partial packs 
in drawers. I am trying not to buy any more. I could not afford to increase 
my church pledge, but decided to "fine" myself at least $10 to give to church 
if I catch myself buying any tobacco product.
