    Success!

    On July 2nd, I shared that I weighed practically 300LBS and that I really had to start loosing weight and taking it seriously. I gave myself 5 months to reach my first goal of getting to 250LBS. well, as of this morning I am already 250LBS! That's practically 50 pounds down in 57 days. Of course...

    It's Been Officially a Month, and...

    It's officially been a month now since I began the quest to lose weight, so I decided to weigh myself again, just out of curiosity of how much I lost in a month. Well, I am 269 now, from 298 (actually closer to 299), so virtually 30 pounds loss in a month. That's great. I know the first bit will...

    How to post pictures on this forum?

    google pictures may have security features then. Normally an image tag with the image URL should work, because that's how you do it.

    Got lots of Tobaccy in today

    I got a great deal on Tobacco from one of the others here, it's great, especially considering Canadian retail tobacco prices. This cost me only $75, not including the shipping of course, far better than the $59.99 I paid for that 50g tin of rattray's black mallory, considering this is 1lb...

    My First "Nice" Pipe

    This was purchase don Monday, but only came in today. I assume Canada post must've been a little backlogged because of the Canada Day Holiday on Monday because it usually takes only 2-3 days for something to get to me from the Toronto area where the store "victory cigars"/"victory pipes" is...

    According to Walmart maybe pipe smoking isn't dead

    I was just at Walmart earlier today, and well, they didn't seem to have anything but bics, which is weird because up here in Canada recreational marijuana is legal, there's even marijuana stores, so if they are selling to weed users, it's weird that they aren't doing so in a place where it is...

    Netflix Caves to the Truth Initiative

    I don't think that violent tv shows, make youths violent, that's in the same vein as blaming video games, music, etc. My favorite artist by far is Marilyn Manson (notice my signature) he was the most focused on supposed "influence" on the columbine shooters, until it was found out they didn't...

    Got me a clay pipe

    Here's my report back, it sucks. It does smoke, but it's draw is terribly, which I think is mainly caused by the tobacco getting into the stem when tamped, because of the fact that it is one piece, with a large hole where the stem meets the bowl. That's what I saw as well, lots of tobacco...

    Got me a clay pipe

    I was out visiting Fort George today, a British fort in Niagara-On-The-Lake from the late 1700's and early 1800's, including the war of 1812. So, it's from when it was still a British fort and the land on the western side of the Niagara River was still a British colony. It's a reconstruction...

    Time to Take Weight Loss Seriously

    Thanks everyone, and no need to worry, I'm not going extreme, as I said, I am limiting junk foods and sodas, not cutting them out entirely. It's not really junk food, but I will be having a glass of orange juice with breakfast, and a can of soda with lunch, but after that, just water, instead of...

    Time to Take Weight Loss Seriously

    I don't weigh myself often, but I did last night, the scale read 298LBS! last time I weighed myself, I weighed 282LBS, so I did gain since last for sure. I've decided I seriously need to make some life style changes. The main issue with me is over eating, and the types of food I often eat. I...

    A lesson learned the hard way & am I packing too tight?

    thanks alaskan i'll watch those videos tomorrow, and give it a go his way right after. Yeah I think best for a soft flame would be matches, because a BIC lighter still has butane which I hear may also affect the taste. With matches I hear you just need to let the tip burn off, so long kitchen...

    A lesson learned the hard way & am I packing too tight?

    I had planned to smoke a pipe along with my father on Canada Day for multiple days now, and it happened today. anyways my dad has a torch lighter so we used that. I did see some people say not to use torch lighters because they may burn the rim of the bowl, but he had the flame dialed back a lot...
