Sherlock Series 3
I miss the pipe and tobacco references in "Sherlock", no "three pipe problems" for him to contemplate in the new series. That being said, I don't miss Sherlock stabbing himself with a syringe of cocaine when he's bored and doesn't have a case! Still, the literary Sherlock seems to me to be a...- tuold

Cleaned and Sterilized - Right!
I just got this Ropp estate from the Bay. It was advertised as cleaned and ready to smoke. I tested it with swabs and pipe cleaners and sure enough they came out lily white!- tuold

General Musings; Thinking Out Loud; Update
Murf, I spent five and half years in the USAF as a pharmacy technician. The recruiter advised me that it would be an easy job, working in air conditioned hospitals nine to five. Trust me, it was nothing like that! I was assigned to World Wide Mobility status where I had to have two bags packed...- tuold

Redbird Strike Anywhere Matches
"By combining red phosphorus and iodine, you can easily create the highly controlled substance Hydriotic Acid which is an essential ingredient in making meth. Creating 2-3 grams of meth requires about 4 big boxes of matches." That may be a reason why strike anywhere matches are so small now.Box...- tuold

My Pipes Were Stolen Today!!!
I'd put together and save a few searches for each item on Ebay so you are notified via e-mail if anything like your pipes come up for auction. Maybe not likely to happen but still worth a try. I've had my car broken into in broad daylight as well. They stole my GPS which had my phone address...- tuold

Medicare
It's unusual to be admitted for a broken leg, but I suppose it depends just how bad the break was. Never the less, these kinds of things will happen when somebody else pays the bills. The hospital would have had to eat the cost of admitting her so they put her on an observation floor where the...- tuold

Adventure To Antique Store
Now I'm inspired to get out to a few local antique stores this weekend. I think that fuzzy stuff was just cotton from a swab or pad. -

Nicotine Detection in Blood
Even as a pharmacy technician I have to have a blood test yearly since I'm exposed to chemo meds on a daily basis. I assume they are looking for abnormal values from exposure, but now I'm wondering what else they are looking at. I used to think that as I approach retirement I could adopt the...- tuold

Pipe smokers live longer?
I don't have time to read the full reports from the CDC, but I've been reading the executive summaries. Ninety-nine percent of the data relates to the ill effects of smoke inhalation . Cortez has pulled some of the non-inhalation pipe related texts in his post above. My summary of the summaries...- tuold

Nicotine Detection in Blood
My intention in bringing this up has nothing to do with politics but a lot to do with policy and social issues regarding your personal choice to use tobacco. I think the course we are on is an inevitable one given the lack of engagement by young people in policy issues, especially when it comes...- tuold

Nicotine Detection in Blood
A non-smoking pharmacist I know was teaching a smoking cessation class. Nicotine gum was part of the class materials which was made available at some point to the class participants. My friend decided to experience the taste of the gum along with the class so she chewed on a piece for a few...- tuold

First Blend You "Got" (or: The Art of Opening Doors)
I don't know exactly what got me started with pipe smoking, but back in the mid '70's my future wife and I stopped into a Tinderbox at the mall and walked out with a pipe and some "Crown Royale" tobacco. The proprietor recommended it due to its mild aromatic properties suitable for a new smoker...- tuold

Is That You Outbidding Me On Ebay?
I look for "ugly duckling" pipes near the end of their listing time with no bids. Then, with less then a minute to go I'll plug in my highest bid. If I get it, great. If not....oh well, there will be many more listings. I never want to get into bidding wars for shiney pipes everybody wants. -
Describe Yourself As A Pipe
