Scientists Make Life Interesting

-

 Scientists are now saying that the fabled Loch Ness Monster, Nessie, is really a giant eel.  Now, the photographer who took that first famed photo of Nessie said it was a hoax.  But many have reported seeing Nessie.  National Geographic sent a team with sonat and scoured the lake with no sign of the monster.  Now scientists are saying Nessie is just a great big giant eel.  Well, maybe we all can sleep at night believing there really are no monsters.  Scientists have taken them all away.

On a side-note today I watched a video on the topic of heart stents.  I have one.  My heart functions at about 40% full capacity.  But someone wanted to know how long they last.  And the answer?  It all depends.  I have had mine for 12 years now and I experience no chest pain or any heart related health issues.  I learned more from the comments than I did from the cardiologist who did the video.  One person said his grandmother had a stent put in when she was 82 and lived to be 102.  One person had another heart attack at 54 after having a Stent put in.  It all depends.

But I'm not worried about my stent.  I take all my cardiology medications and still get enough exercise.  My body has slowed and my mind isn't as sharp as it once was.  But I don't worry my pipes will kill me.  And I do enough to keep my mind active.  I am smoking my Birthday "Angel" pipe this morning that I smoke so seldom since it is more of a display pipe but quite functional.  My wife bought this for me for my birthday a couple of years ago, and I like to keep it on display.  Today's tobacco is Tropical Export.  My wife isn't fond of Until the End.  I will be smoking that more sparingly and won't order again. That's the end of that. 

Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
