Why so many pipes?

Nothing like playing catch with you son in the front yard. Do this once a day and life is good.

I'll leave family politics alone, except to say that the kid probably came up with the question on his own. Kids are question machines, and usually their questions are really good, if difficult or impossible to answer.

So, why do I have so many pipes. Simple answer, I like to smoke a variety of pipes. More honest answer, they are little art pieces and fetish items that are endlessly pleasing, like chess pieces, watches, and pocket knives, beyond just their use. And finally, they are within reach, in terms of price, as self-rewards and celebrations that give life a little color and enliven the day.

I have an addictive personality when it comes to hobbies and such. I also don't stop short of full send. Fly fishing meant fly tying...then I tied more than I fished. Needing a holster meant I could do it myself. Next thing you know I had a full leather work shop with all the specialty tools I would hardly or never need. Making some basic furniture meant Japanese wood saws, special wood jigs for dovetails and such....on and on.

I am hoping that I have settled into this and that'll be that. My lovely wife who I simply couldn't live without knows this about me and accepts it. I am working on myself in regard to this.

I am delighted you have no children in your life, Bob. ?

people especially parents. Tell me I'd be a great dad. Mainly because I am totally one hundred percent capable of treating children with respect using the their not stupid just inexperienced out look. The thing is I don't think that one day visiting your place really says as much you think it says. Oh and I got a weird ability to get kids to listen to me using the low pressure convince them they agree it's better for them to behave. Basically what I am saying is no dadhood for me thank you, though I'd be an amazing uncle.

oh there are children in my life they're not mine. I have friends with kids. The kids always call me uncle too. And kids are like casual video games. Really fun for very short amounts of time and then they get boring.

or he could go for the nuclear option. Sons pipes are like girlfriends you can never have enough of them. The wife will know she's picked a winner at that point.

anotherbob, being a good uncle is way better than being an unhappy mean dad.

I love being with my family which includes little ones. Three spent their early years with me. I changed them, bathed them, and now know them as people.

This is some great stuff to read. When Ito apologize my father would say

“Don’t tell people you’re sorry son, let them find out for themselves.”

I was 12 when I figured that out lol

I have so many pipes because pipes are so gregarious. If they aren't with other pipes all the time, they don't even know they exist.
