Sometimes

-

 I slept in until ten-thirty this morning.  Not much is in my mind today.  I take days off from thinking.  This is Memorial Day weekend and a lot of you are making the official start of summer something special.  My wife and I plan to stay at home and just take it easy.  We need to start getting things together for our summer in upstate NY.

Sometimes I just don’t feel like thinking.  I just placed an order for 34 ounces of bulk tobacco, comprising of seven different blends with two ounces being an aromatic.  I got burned out from smoking too much Autumn Evening, but decided to order two ounces of it so I could get free shipping from Smoking Pipes.  I like Perique, but Perique doesn’t like me.  I try to avoid Perique.  

I wish I could smoke more Perique, but I’ve learned my lessons with it.  I ordered six different English blends none of which contain Perique.  If I don’t know what is in a blend regardless of reviews I simply don’t smoke it.  I’ve had to learn through years of pipe smoking what I can and cannot smoke.  I wish I didn’t have to avoid Perique because so many good blends have it.  But at my old age I have to be very careful.

My taste buds might be a little dull, but my body is sensitive to the Nicotine of Perique.  There is one blend I really like, but I had to learn.  I can’t smoke Haunted Bookshop, for example.  I know how popular it is and that many like it, but that is just one example I have to avoid.  I wish I could just smoke what someone wants me to try, but without knowing what is in it, I just can’t.  

My body is sensitive to the Nicotine in Perique.  I’ve had to learn through the many years of pipe smoking what I can and cannot smoke.  I need to see a list of tobaccos in a blend before I smoke it.  And if the list isn’t available, I’ll just avoid it.  I value my wellness over any tobacco blend.  

I’m not a big fan of Burley, but if it’s blended with Virginias, it adds a certain nuance I can enjoy.  So, my tobacco blends I enjoy the most are Virginias with Latakia’s and Orientals.  Black Cavendish blended in makes for a soother taste.  I said that not much was in my mind this morning.  This one might be more for my pipe smoking friends, but I find discussions about various tobacco blends fascinating.  I enjoy seeing what others are enjoying.  I too, have my favorites.  

Proper English by Peter Stokkebye is my most favorite, but I enjoy mixing it up a bit.  I’m smoking my Willard pipe this morning that I purchased new around 1990.  My coffee this morning is Bella Maria coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you.

Kind Of

 I’m kind of anti-social, but in my thinking it’s for good reason.  I’m pretty shy about my Angels.  They define who I am.  I seek to protect them as much as I can.  I’m willing to share my space, but only with a few.  Other than this I’m quiet about my Angels and it’s why I prefer solitude over many.  They say opposites attract and in my case this is very true.   I’m attracted to outgoing people.  In this regard my wife and I are opposites.  I can force myself to be an extrovert, but this is not my nature.  I prefer a quiet life of mostly solitude.  In this day of the Internet people are either outgoing or they will be alone.  I am happiest with a mind that doesn’t think too much.  But stress can give me overload.   I need diversions from life to keep my mind from overthinking.  This has been a problem for me for most of my life—even from a very young age.  Too many people and too much input causes my ...

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

Pipes and Other Things

-
 If anything happened to my pipes or my new cabinet or anything else I might own, they are only things.  I can live without things.  I don't drink enough alcohol to be an alcoholic, for example, so no, I don't need alcohol.  I'm writing this today as a reminder as to why I smoke a pipe.  I smoke a pipe for meditative purposes and for relaxation.  There are  no other reasons why I smoke a pipe.  I am not addicted to my pipes or the tobacco I put in them.   It is a known fact  that cigarette smokers smoke cigarettes because they are addicted to them.  I watch a lot of YouTube videos and one video I watched was about tobacco commercials from the late fifties through the sixties.  Those commercials sold cigarettes as pleasure and enjoyment with no mention of nicotine in any of the two hour video of ads.  The emphasis was on what cigarettes could do for you.  A lot of research and planning went into the filters of cig...
