A rel life incident = real world thing?

I smoke cigs. I have a cardboard "garbage can" lined with a grocery bag next to my desk. I throw tissues and all kinds of flammable items in there.
(including my full ash try) (I'm very careful not to dump a "live ash in there)

Well this is what happened just a few hours ago. I saw smoke rising out of the thing... and started to physically going through - by hand - to try and find and put out the smoldering ember. Could not find it. So, my first though was pour my open beer into the damn thing! But that is wasting beer!

So I thought of the helicopters dumping tons of water on the nuke plants.

I grabbed my daughter's spray bottle of water. Nothing but a spray bottle that emits a fine mist.. to give some moisture to hair.

After about 6 pumps.. of very fine mist.. No more smoke in the thing.

Makes me wonder if this is the same as the TONS of water dropped in the nuke site isn't the same?

Next time...pick up the garbage can and carry it out to the front yard.

edit: I would take it out to the yard right now anyway.

My wife dang near burned our first house down like that. I always made her put all her butts in an empty coffee can. I would empty it after she was at work or all her ash trays were full so I would know she did not stick a hot one in there.

The fire department sprayed that one down for me. My bass boat nearly melted down, that would have been tragic.

That should be enough to scare you into quit smoking.
I know it ain't easy. Been there and done it. Didn't even get the T-shirt.
But we'll be here to help you if you're interested. I can explain how I did it.
It was painless and so fast that it was amazing. And it cost NOTHING!!!!

Pretty much, but you need Superman goggles to see the "smoke" - radiation. You would see a rainbow of colors all the way to the top of the food chain Gamma frequencies.

OK, took me a couple hours to quit laughing.

The secret that helped me --- First, Do Not say you are going to quit!!
You always want something more when you are not supposed to have it.
You are just going to cut down a little on smoking. The idea is for you to
be in control. Not your craving for nicotine.
Then (and you must make a solemn vow) every time you want a cigarette,
you MUST make yourself wait ten minutes. So when you reach for that cigarette,
STOP, and look at your watch. Wait the 10 minutes and then have the smoke.
The first couple of times you will probably just sit and watch the clock.
But soon you will just look at the clock and go back to work. Then before you realize
it, 30 to 60 minutes will have passed. So then have your smoke. After a week of so,
you will be surprised how much you have cut back.
I remember reaching the point where I was only smoking 3 a day. Just keep doing
the same thing and soon you will have reached the point where you will say "That's
it! I'm in control. I don't need them any more!!"
But, remember, you MUST hold to the 10 minute rule every time you reach for
that smoke.

We're rooting for ya!!
Good luck.

Ralph
