I Have a Problem

[uberam3rica]

I've always had a problem with spending money. Now that I smoke a pipe, it's so much worse! I spend way too much time on pipesandcigars.com and ebay looking at pipes, baccy, lighters, tampers. etc. I know I'm not alone on this, pipes are extremely addicting!

Some people save their money and spend it sparingly. It's very responsible of them and they're usually much better prepared for when things go wrong.
Then there's me, I go paycheck to paycheck usually. I think I have more fun though. ::

Ya, it's crazy. Sleep, eat and breath pipes and tobacco. Serious addiction and I love it.

I wanted to so badly, but I hadn't gotten paid yet

I used my food money and ate ramen

The revolver pipe might suit you well.

Pipes last longer then food. You can only eat food once

I like the way you think Uber

Well, having to support a family of three here, eating ramen noodles so I can satisfy TAD/PAD isn't an option, and wouldn't be very fair to all concerned. I do what I can, and I do have a bunch of forum buddies that have helped me out by sending tobacco for me to try, and for that, I'm very grateful. Maybe if and when the economy turns around, and I have more spending power, things will be better.

Yeah that doesn't work out for everyone

In all seriousness, Uber, i would urge you to decide what is important for you in life, set your goals and stay focused on them. If you are planning to go to school or start a bakery in the near future, anything you can set aside for that purpose will help.
i am not trying to discourage you from smoking or enjoying your pipes, but please don't do that because it's an addiction, especially if that threatens your future. Smoke all that you can as long as that fits into your larger life goals. What is most important to you?
Sorry if i sound like your dad. i am probably his age.

I have enough pipes for now. It would have to be a very special one for me to buy a new one. Tobacco...you can never have enough of that.

You're taking what I said too literally. I'd much rather have food then eat ramen for a week. Collecting anything can be addicting. I smoke a pipe because I enjoy it. I say pipes are an addiction because most of us have many more pipes and tobacco then we "need", and you always want more. If I wanted to spend money for the sake of spending money, theres plenty of other things.

Hi, my name is David and I'm a pipe addict. Once I get some change, I'm getting one of those sweet smokingdragon custom cobs! Been on the Missouri Meerschaum website trying to pick the shape. It's hard. I find I don't even smoke cigars anymore, except when a certain person brings me some from a place.
