A non smoking gift with love


19 years ago 0 218 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I dont know if I can post pictures of it directly on here but heres the link to it if you want to see it. A month ago my brother got back from Mexico. When he came back he gave me a gift from a religous mexican store. An ashtray with a skeleton with the words "No Fume" Which means No Smoking. Its supposed to represent that smoking causes death. Theres a day in Mexico called the day of the dead I dont know too much about it but it has something to do with this day. anyways i was still smoking at that time and didnt think much of it reallly, i just laughed. I was actually going to use it as an ashtray but my sister said that will be contradicting its meaning and use so i decided not to. Now that im quit it reminds me what might happen if i dont quit smoking and also a reminder that my brother loves and cares 4 me and doesnt want me to die from my smoking addiction.

Cool looking ashtray. And what a nice gift from your brother. Day of the dead is what we celebrate as Halloween. Actually it is November 1 - we celebrate the eve of the day of the dead. D�a de los Muertos. It is actually a day in Hispanic/Spanish cultures to honor our ancestors and those that went before us. From that came all of the lore about ghosts, cemeteries, skeletons etc. Regardless I think this present is a great reminder of the dangers of smoking. I am glad to see it in Mexico, as the dangers of smoking and the dangers of pesticides are often under-advertised down there. Enjoy your new smoke free life and a great candy dish! :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/15/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 299 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,476 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1046.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 41 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
