    Carolina Snow Alert?

    The weather man on my tv says that his computer thinks I'm going to get 6 inches of snow Wednesday.That's a good bit if snow for my neck of the woods.Other parts of the state could get even more.Maybe the most at one time we've had in ten years.

    Smart Phone

    I at the young age of not quite 72 decided after much thought that I should learn to text.The very nice fella at the phone company laughed when I asked him to show me how to text.How long have have you had that thing he asked as he pointed at my phone.5 years I said.So I now have a new smart...

    It's Soooo Cold

    Before you tell me that it's not really cold here in Carolina compared to where you are let me say that I believe in something called relative cold.That is.How cold it is where you are relative to what you're used to.I lived in Michigan for a lot of years.I lived through many cold winters up...

    I'm Back Online

    I switched from cable to Direct TV.Simple I thought.It was for the tv part.I had to go through the phone company for computer service though.I had to wait a week for them to come out.It only took them a few minutes once they did come out.So I'm glad to be back with you now.Just call me old and...

    Every new year seems to start with the same routine for me..First I inventory my tobacco supply.Then I determine that I need more tobacco.Then I resolve to buy more tobacco.Then I check the budget with my chief financial officer(my wife)Then with a little bit of dollar shifting I find money to...

    Impressions Of Pipe Smokers

    A fellow in my area comes on tv fairly often.He says he owns several jewelry stores.He sells jewelry at low prices,and pays top dollar for used gold (so he says).Today in his ad he was smoking a pipe.I don't know if he smokes a pipe or if he just thinks smoking one would make folks trust...

    I've Been Here Three Years

    It's now Dec. 24th Christmas Eve,but that's not what this is about.I do hope though that everyone has a very Merry Christmas.I joined this forum 3 years ago today.I thought then that I wouldn't post very much.The conversation here though is such that I keep joining in.I've posted a great deal...

    It's Cookie Season

    It's two weeks before Christmas.That means it's the time of the year that my wife starts baking cookies.This will probably go on for the next week.A large number of cookies will be baked.A good many of them will be given away,but by no means all of them.Like a lot of folks these days we don't...

    Frosty's Pipe

    Lots of Rain in Carolina

    It's 12:30 in the morning and it's supposed to rain very soon.Maybe up to three inches before it stops.It's going to be a very cold rain.Just a few degrees above freezing.If we get ice the power could go off.Not real fun when it's that cold.If we're lucky we won't get any.I hope you're enjoying...

    Getting Old

    Keep in mind that in order to remember what happened on this date 50 years one would have to be getting old.I remember the shock of that day.It's really hard for me to comprehend though that it was so long ago,and that 50 years of my life have gone by in what seems like much less time than...

    Sam Spade

    Nothing on tv tonight so I watched an old Bogart movie..Maltese Falcon..Bogart played a private detective named Sam Spade.The movie was made in 1941.That's the year before I was born.I thought it was a pretty ordinary movie except for a couple of things.Boy has technology changed since then.Cars...

    Cutting A Giant Rose Bush (OUCH)

    In my yard was a really beautiful 6 year old giant rose bush.It was probably 8 feet tall and the same width.I'm sad to say that it got a mold all over it.My only solution was to cut it back to the main branches and hope that next spring it will grow back and be mold free.This was a horrible...

    Chris

    Who is Chris you ask..In 1971 some co workers had urged me to take up pipe smoking.I knew absolutely nothing about it.There was no internet back then to learn from.Still I determined to give it a try.One day I walked into a smoke shop.I saw a young man standing behind the counter.He looked a...

    Cigar Smokers

    I was watching Pawn Stars.It was probably a rerun.Most of them are.The statement was made that in the United States there are 5.4 million cigar smokers.That makes me wonder if anyone has an idea of about how many of us pipe smokers there are.

    Rosewood Pipes

    A friend who was at a Renaissance Festival told me that a man there was selling pipes made of Rosewood.I've heard of this wood being used in the making of guitars.Any one know anything about it being used to make pipes?

    Satalite TV?

    Right now I have cable tv.I've pretty much decided to switch to satalite.I wanted AT&T U-verse,but for some reason although its available in towns all around me it's not available in my town.That pretty much leaves me to stick with cable or opt for Dish or Direct. I would appreciate any opinions...

    A Safe Topic ( Weather )

    I have a table and chairs on my porch.When the weather is warm my wife and I sit out there until it's almost dark.She doesn't mind if I smoke nice smelling tobacco.Usually 1-Q.Now that it's cooling down a good bit in the late afternoon she gets cold and heads inside.You guessed it.That's when I...

    Vulcanite Stems

    I may be stirring the pot here,but as a fella on tv used to say away we go..I like Lucite stems better than Vulcanite because they give more color options,and they don't oxidize.I don't clench so the hardness isn't a factor to me.This is just my opinion and may not apply to anyone else..Now for...
