    5 years of work rewarded with yet another budget passed with no pay increase. Starting to regret the decision to go public sector. At this rate I should be able to retire around 90.

    My wife lost her job today...That's never a good day. Where can we cut spending? Cable, phone, food, don't pay the mortgage ? ummm. That's about it.

    I'll have to re-prioritize, (lol). Seriously though, I'm good for a while.

    That fact that a supposed sunny day with a high of 71 just turned into pouring down rain and a tornado watch!! Aint that a ***?


    That is common place here and having been destroyed by one already we can't ignore the warnings. I keep a very good and dependable hand held battery operated "all purpose" scanner by my bed. And all but 1 pre-sets are tuned to emergency weather alerts.

    1 Having not slept in two days now matter how hard I try. I can't get my mind to shut off. I can't seem to eat either. I'm a nervous wreck.
    2 Watching your relationship fall apart right before your eyes knowing there's nothing you can do about it.
    3 Being single again

    Damn, bro...been there. Tough to go through. As to being single again, take the time to be single until all the pain is gone, ie: don't rush into anything. JMO.

    Condolences, the death of the relationship can be as or more painful than the death of an individual.

    The job sending me out of town on my birthday. No special day for me.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    Thanks for the well wishes guys. It wasn't a very long relationship, but it seemed to be going well from my point of view. It had been a bit rocky lately, but we had a few good heart to hearts about things we were both going to work on to make it better. I thought we were making progress and both willing to put in effort to make it work. Out of the blue she decided she just didn't feel a connection anymore, while I felt we were closer than ever. I really liked this one, but it takes two to tango. I had never felt so comfortable and at ease around a woman like this. I don't know if keeping my guard up a little more would have helped or hurt, but it is what it is. I live in the desert and there's more water than decent women, which is the real bummer out of all of this.

    I didn't mean for my post to be overly dramatic. I'm just bummed and kind of in shock. I made sure we split amicably as I drive past her office on a daily basis and have already crossed paths with her once. I've learned an awful lot about myself through this and that is certainly a good thing. I need to take some time to focus on myself and the things I can control in my life. On the bright side, I busted the slump I was in, and as a major perk I can spend some evenings enjoying a cigar now! Life goes on gents. I'm sure there's another pleasant surprise around the next corner.

    Sorry to hear that man, but good to see you looking at the positives already. Feel what ya feel when ya need to, no matter what anyone else says you should do or be.

    Okay, adding another one. Losing my review notes for a new cigar. That's what I get for typing them into my tablet while I smoke. The browser crashed and lost everything! Garrrr.

    2 of the new windows that were installed 3 months ago .... leaked on the inside of the house this weekend, when we got our first real rain of the season ....

    F*ckin' p!ssed.

    * I have a new address as of 3/24/18 *

  • perkinkeperkinke Posts: 1,572 ✭✭✭
    That the term "smoke shop" is virtually synonymous with "head shop" in my area. Got all excited that a new smoke shop opened within walking distance of my house. I drove by on errands to check the hours to see if I could make it down later and then saw that their windows and website name prominently featured waterpipes and blunt wrappers only. Damn. Not even gonna waste my time seeing if they have stogies as well or not.

    I hate getting out of the shower in the morning and realizing that I have to drop a deuce. A post shower $h|t. Daniel Tosh said it well: "You ever have a post-shower $h|t! UGH! You might as well go back to bed and start your whole day over. Things are wrong. That’s not the order of events!"
