Yes.....well...... it's a tough call.

I don't care for cigarette smoke. An abundance of it makes me sick to my stomach and affects my breathing. People don't smoke in my house, but they can smoke on the terrace. I'm not going to NOT invite someone to my home because they smoke.

However, I've been places/parties where there have been attendees who made the biggest deal out of the smoking/smokers (waving their arms, making a scene by walking to the other side of the yard, etc) when they knew that there would be smoking at said gathering. I dont' get that. If it's such a deal, why bother coming?

I wear cologne, but I don't bathe in it. If I can taste someone's perfume, or smell You before I see You, that's just too much. People need to be sensitive to that.

As a volunteer at Dell Children's Hospital, we are instructed to not wear cologne because the children's health can be compromised by scents. I get that. But in the work place? Take a benedryl and cope.

As far as that child at school.......tough call again. Perhaps home schooling might be an option. But then I also have a difficult time with those angry parents who force their child to carry a picket sign in protest to peanut girl.
