I started smoking in the days when you could smoke ANYWHERE. I remember college classrooms where the professor would light up, sometimes a cigarette some times a pipe.
Then when smoking became restricted to smoking sections in buildings or outdoors, met many an interesting stranger huddled in our little groups. Us against the world! hahaha
Quit in '07 a couple of years after my husband died of lung cancer.
I still sometimes in my dreams, start to light up, and then (in the dream) stop and say---No silly you don't smoke anymore, remember?

I asked her if she smoked. She said, "Why … I never looked!"
That was for cooldog. ;)
I'll take the fifth on that one. Same question.

Answered that one and shared more than was asked so...... Have you ever dressed as the opposite sex?

I was Willie Nelson at a Halloween party once. My ex husband was my doobie. Everyone thought he was a tampon.
Vesuvia, my father was a professor and he smoked throughout the lectures. Used a tuna fish can for an ash tray. He died of lung cancer in '89.
Have you ever been mistaken for the opposite sex? Folks on R&L thought I was a man until I put a pic up in the pictures thread.

Mistaken for the opposite sex?
Only on the telephone years ago, caller would think'I' was my tweenage stepson~
Otherwise not.
Same question going forward<<<
(Midge I remember a philosophy prof lighting up, coughing and saying as how he once thought 'being consumptive' was rather 'romantic'---not so much now)

Yes. I love rich period dramas with elegant dresses, handsome suave gentlemen and castles and such until I think about how freezing those huge stone buildings were and all romantic wishes disappear.
Love the carefree fun of the 20's too (if you were rich), but reality for most between two wars, not so much.
I've imagined living in many eras, (and think we probably all have), but not sure I could have handled the reality as well as my imagination.
Still, I wish we could go back to a simpler time when people genuinely cared about others more than they seem to now.
Same question.

Yes because this is all a bit civilized (gestures at the entire landscape) but no, because I saw the moon landings on TV. I would enjoy it (in a science-fictional universe) where you could visit different periods of history (and, especially, if you could 'belong' and invest in them, somehow). Maybe it would be a thing like where the people who stayed in their own times knew about the travelers who visited them from other times, and were okay with them (by some unspecified adjustment they'd made in their dispositions).
Sure, same question going forward. ;)

I would like to have been born early enough to have experienced the 1960s as a young adult. Same question hou asked above...

Time travel eh? I would like to have met Leonardo Da Vinci (or another great artistic yet mathematical mind), in a time where a woman's opinion wasn't stifled but accepted. Where that would be I have no idea. Other than that I would have enjoyed ancient Greece (well I am of Greek heritage...).
Same question

Not really but would have been a pretty good flapper in the 20's and I'd have been a suffragette, too!
Same question. It's a good one!

With people thinking I was native american when I was young, used to imagine living before the settlers came and destroyed our world.
Have you ever wanted to make a big positive change in the world?
Like discover a new form of fuel that didn't wreck the climate, or find a way to feed the world, or raise the poverty level?

I recall having some big dreams in my younger years, but these days am content with making my own little patch of nature a better place. Planting trees, native shrubs for birds and such in my yard, etc. Not being too particular about weeds---Letting nature BE, places for the bees.
Same question going on~

Yes I would love for the whole world to act morally, civilly, and ethically but Im dreaming. Im also too much of a realist but I can find some good in everything and everyone. Sometimes you have to dig deeper than others. Sometimes its right in our face so close we can taste it oozing.
Have you ever dreamed a dream so big it consumed you until it came true?
