Think of all the McClellands you missed.? So far his only offering that raised my eyebrow was Sakura, and I've got two pounds of that.
Cranky And Down Without Nicotine?

I have enough regrets about the past to even have space for an oz of McCelland.
When I am in my wheel chair within 10 minutes or so I have to a collar around my neck as the pain gets bad I cannot hold my head up.
I cannot do physical therapy anymore as the only it could be done is if I had stupid amounts of opiates and I am not going there. The last time I was on them was July 2016 when I took my oldest girl to Italy. I was not in great shape and had to be wheeled around airports.
Just to get moving I needed a 30mg roxie and a 60 mg oxycontin and walking around still caused a lot of pain. I shouldn't have felt a thing and been able to walk 5 plus hours. I took lots of cabs and still had fun. I hired a private tour guid who was a grreat guide, but after that trip and I got off the meds,,I knew I was toast. They wanted to do an mri but they had to give me general anesthesia because it was torture laying flat on that hard table. After reading my last mri my neurologist told me the stenosis had spread every where in all the discs, back and kneck and sh didn't hold back when she told me there is nothing more she can do for me. She said physical therapy was a waste and even if I took enough pain meds to choke a horse the disease won't stop. I appreciated her being honest and didn't pull any punches.

I have been on fentanyl for 4 years now along with other pain killers. Back is un opearble and all of my major joints l need replaced due to AVN. I still count my Blessings every day as someone has it worse...
Yes, and lots and lots of nicotine! Like you said, I was at one point, enjoying dip, cigs, snuff, cigars, and the pipe all in one day.
I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you are still able to enjoy your pipes and Yes albums! Probably both are even better after the indica...
It's not quite that bad for me, but I sympathize. I have the situation when I'm around family and cannot smoke where my brain somehow "smells" the tobacco in my mind's memory and i miss it, but I'm not anxious--i'm just really aware. I'm sure there's a name for it but I don't know.
Thanks for that.
I actually do still enjoy many aspects of my life. My live in care taker is a god send. My pipes have no affect as she vapes and smokes cigarettes so no amount of pipe smoking bothers her at all. She shops, cooks, cleans the house and gets along great with my kids.
I have a lot to be grateful for. My pipes and tobacco and this site give me comfort. She even plays gin, backgammon and pitch wiith me till 2 in the morning. We have no set schedule as I am retired and she goes on my time line.
At least once a week I have a Yes festival, crank up the Denon reciever and my huge Cerwin Vega XL15, plus a Klipsch powered sub. I can shake the living room but keep it just below that.
The human body can take a lot of pain and you can get used to most of it There is no getting used to Kidney stones and thank god I haven't had any in a few years, I had years where I would get them 2 times a year and it was torture. I keep that kind of pain in my memory so every time I have to move and it hurts like a mother, I try to remind myself just how bad it could be. There are times when I think about taking pain relievers again but I hate pain management doctors. They make you feel like junkie and I think my pain inductors are broken as it takes such a huge amount to feel anything. I have my other doctor prescribe Atavan for stress but they work better on pain than opiates.
Never, will be a fan till the grave. Best studio band best live band and I have seen my share The only show in their league is The Pulse Tour Pink Floyd, and while his music is not my all time favorite. Bruce SPringsteen and the E street Band put on a 3 hour gut wrenching performance.
First show I ever saw was I think 1971 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston where Aerosmith was backing up Mott The Hoople.
Sounds like you e seen some amazing shows. I’m glad my first concert was The Ramones not New Kids on the Block.
Nicotine is important to me, I choose to have that relationship with it. It's a pressure release valve. I always keep it on me. I use various tobacco products depending on what I'm doing.
If I ever choose to go without smoking, then its no problem. If I was forced to stop against my will, I would get pretty frustrated.
People who treat substances like some monster they are victim of are weak minded people. There are far too many excuses for bad decisions today, the addiction excuse is one of them.

I saw the Ramones at a little club in Boston called the Paradise. I got a tip from a chick who worked for WBCN the number 1 radio show. J.Geils played unannounced at a place called the Rat. It was in Kenmore sq near Fenway Park. It was a great night , people dancing on tables bodies flying every where. My first Yes show was in 1972 at the Music Hall which was a somewhat small venue. Years later also saw the Dead there and the Tubes. Next Yes show was February 1974 when they were promoting Tales, great stage set up best of all others going forward. Saw them again December 1974 in Boston Garden. July 1075 saw them at the Providence Civic Center an hour south of Boston.Next was June 18 in Boston Garden and then the next day June 19 at Colt park near Hartford and it was the only out door show I ever saw them play. As great as they were, seeing them in sunlight was kind of weird.
The last time I saw them was August 12 or 13 I think they played 2 in a row at Boston Garden I did see one of the shows not sure which one. It was a hell of a ride and no matter how much my brain turns too mush i will have some of these memories.
Also saw Bowie twice 76 and 83. i could go on for while but leave it for another thread
