    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    I was thinking along similar lines a little while ago in regards to certifying agencies. I was wondering how this venture is insured and how forthcoming with details about this submersible the owners and operators were with the company providing insurance to the venture. They can't be crazy...

    Getting Older, Getting In Shape, and Rucking.

    Ask your doctor before starting any new exercise program started as a legal disclaimer to try to prevent lawsuits. It has evolved into an excuse for some to never start exercising due to "health issues". Combine that with the new "body positive" movement that affirms unhealthy lifestyles and...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    Those were my thought seeing pictures of the vessel, there is no way I would get onboard that thing to descend to the depths they are going to.

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    If JonBenet Ramsey had been a kid living in a trailer park in Commerce City instead of a beautiful rich kid from an upscale Boulder neighborhood she never would have made it past the local news for one night if it even got that much. People are fascinated by the fact that rich and successful...

    Jim's Sutliff States of Virginia Limited Edition 2023 Review.

    I bought some simply to taste the individual components to help refine my palette a little (hopefully)... Maybe I can throw together something interesting with them, but will never be able to reproduce it since this is a limited run..

    Getting Older, Getting In Shape, and Rucking.

    I need to get my pack out and start doing this again. I have allowed myself to become way too lazy since I had shoulder surgery last year and I can definitely tell.

    Tobacco Knife (My Grandpa’s Old Case XX)

    I don't have anything fancy I use an Opinel No6 and an Opinet No8, they get the job done.

    The Demise of the Polite Society: Et Tu WSJ?

    This 100%. I am sick and tired of seeing peoples personal pronoun choices in their professional email signature blocks and on resumes... Send me a resume with your personal pronouns on it and I can tell you what I will be doing with it, it has very little to do with taking it seriously.

    The Demise of the Polite Society: Et Tu WSJ?

    Yes m'lord .... :ROFLMAO:

    Jim's Revised Escudo Review.

    This is one of the things I respect Ernie Q at Watch City Cigars for, if he can't get the ingredients for a blend it is discontinued. No compromises, no changes, no reformulations.

    The Demise of the Polite Society: Et Tu WSJ?

    Given current events and trends in society I can see why they are dropping the use of Mr., Ms. and so forth. I think that their explanation of why they are doing it is tiptoeing around the true issue which is that a segment of society is constantly on the lookout for things to be offended by...

    Jim's Revised Escudo Review.

    I have been thinking about this and I think this hits it on the head, if a company can not continue to make the product in it's original form it needs to be discontinued and a new name established for the new product. Release it as a new name and have the description state that it is an homage...

    A Typical Reaction to Pipesmoking?

    A couple of years ago I was out for a ride in the country and kept getting a whiff of cotton candy. With there not being a visible carnival in the area I was starting to become concerned that I was having a stroke or something. Finally pulled up to a 4 way stop behind a Honda Accord and noticed...

    What Supplements Should I be Taking?

    I take a multivitamin and a fish oil supplement daily, probably don't need them but it also isn't hurting anything taking them.

    The Pencil Shank Pipe Hazard (for purchasers)

    I have a few pipes with CF tubes in place. I am not too worried about it. By it's nature anything with CF is dead straight so it is simple enough to hold the bowl up to a light every now and then and make sure the inside of the CF tube is clean and glossy with no loose fibers.

    What About This?

    If it is a meerschaum bowl DO NOT do a salt alcohol treatment on it.... Soaking meerschaum in anything is going to soften and possibly destroy it.
