Kimi - TheOtherSide switched from menthol cigarettes to e-cigs and he loves it. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I enjoy my pipe.

If y'wanna try give up "smoking",

be sure to eat a "hypoglycemia diet".

Many use Nicotine to create blood sugar.

Proper diet can cover these blood sugar pits and aid in abstinence as low blood sugar creates Tobacco need for the addicted.

G'luck to any and all who try.

Moi

Nicotine chewing gum also recommended as a step off tobacco

Nope, I don't want to give up my pipe. It's one of the few vices I have left.

I gave up beer.

I gave up sex.

I gave up working.

I still like women but I can only look at my age 😄

HOORAY, my small check arrived to save me from a nicotine breakdown :)

My tobacconist gave me 10 pounds of Bright Virginia tobacco for free. Bright Virginia tastes lousy in a pipe so I bought a bag of aromatic tobacco from Walgreens. I mix two ounces of Virginia with one ounce of aromatic and I get a tolerable smoke :)

It rained all day yesterday but stopped last night. It was followed by the coldest winds I have felt since arriving one cold winter at Flint Airport in Michigan.

About 5:00 am the heater went off in my bedroom. I assumed it was a power outage caused by the winds. I got dressed and discovered other lights were on. The ones out are two in my bedroom, two in y d en and one bathroom light. I reset the circuit breakers but no change?????

It's only 36 degrees but that's cold to moi. It's probably t-shirt weather to Kristoff.

After talking with Ken_SD this morning, I believe I blew a circuit breaker. Until I can afford to get it fixed, I can use an extension cord to get heat for my bedroom and I used alternative plugs in my den to get a working light and my mini-heater working. The light in the bathroom I can do without for a while.

You may want to push the breaker fully on then turn off and back on again. Think some may need the turn on for a reset. May want to check all the breakers. Turn each one off then back on again. Would be very good idea to turn off your computer first.

Most extension cords you find around the house are 16 gauge. The maximum current is only 13 amps not the 15 - 20 amps your circuit breaker could be. The total watts for the cord is around 1500 watts. If the extension cord is a 3 wire the maximum current is only 10 amps 1100 watts. Over loading the cord will give your house a real electric heater (the whole house)

Be careful my friend. Do not want to smell burning OLD wolf hair.

Could burning wolf fur be worse than burning wool?

If you are the wolf in question, yes.

As Bobbie says it's probably an easy problem to fix.

Unplug things and turn that breaker off and on a few times.

If it's damp stand on a sheep.

:D

I once done just this. Ended up with first to second degree burns on left hand. (Do not believe others, when they say that everything is switched off, check yourself).

The problem wasn't my circuit breaker, it was my electric company. All my lights and wall sockets are working :)

When my power went out again in select rooms, I called Edison. Their tech found my problem and remedied it; it was a loose breaker.

See, I need to live next door to a Red "fix-it man" Nun.

Well, I guess blowing a breaker is better than "blowing a seal"

I love that old joke :)

I bet you're careful to get any ice cream out of that beard.

I think "Bear Hunting" is my favorite.

The one disadvantage to a long beard is that it serves both as a soup strainer and a food catcher. I also find the need now and then to pry whiskers out of what I'm eating. Need I say more 😄

I wish I could afford a better attorney. My house guests are becoming unbearable.

* They keep late hours hence my front door is often unlocked.

* They invite people in my house without asking and often have them overnight in their front bedroom.

* They invite people in my house with whom I've had trouble with in the past.

* Since they've been here, I've lost a garage, had two broken windows, two bathroom doors which no longer lock, and a back door which is constantly broken into by Monty late at night.

Filing eviction papers could take months or so I've heard. Waiting for those months would mean undue mental hardship on me from them.

Is there an easier way out? 🆘

Does eviction imply they are paying rent?

Honestly, I don't know. The eviction process is a long, hard ordeal in Calif. The manager next door gave an eviction notice to the people in the second apartment in November and they haven't moved out yet.

My house guests pay neither rent nor utilities but they cover their own food thank gawd.

When Monty was beaten so badly and lost his spleen, I had lent him mom's old wheelchair to help him get around. The night before last, he left it outside and by morning it had been stolen, naturally. Chit happens.

You should have tied Monty to the chair first 😄

Soon there will be nothing left in the house for you.

Are there "elder abuse" laws in california?

Go talk to the police. I know they probably don't

give a rats ass, but you might stumble across a

young naive one who still wants to help people.

check up on the trespass laws.
