Health Over Glamour

Growing up, I used to think that smoking a cigarette, especially, the long, slender variety was glamourous. I mean, Bette Davis looked so sophisticated in Now Voyage when she smoked and countless of other Hollywood great ladies. They were always lighting one up in every single movie they were in.

What Gives?

His behavior continued to perplex her.  Why was he acting as if he didn’t want to be around her?  This had been going on for weeks now.  What changed?  She had to find out. She marched over to his desk.  “We need to talk.” “Now?” “Yes.” “Fine.” They went somewhere private.  “Why are you acting …
