    RYO (Roll your own smokes)

    I been doing it on an off since the 70s. Highly intense past 18 months or so since my pack a day Marlboros are 7 bucks and change. That drops below a buck when you make em yourself. Anybody who dont smoke or quits is highly ranked in my book. Holler if anybody is interested in the hobby and wants to chat

    I didn't know that slowly killing yourself was considered a hobby. I guess you learn something new everyday. LOL

    Everything I enjoy is slowly killing me. Beef, bourbon, tobacco and women.


    Yup I roll straight up one brand never mixed or blended but that not a bad idea.

    The rolling part for me is purely just a chore though to save money from obummers tax.

    We're all slowly killing ourselves, every last one of us... just by living. That all by itself will end you. Existence itself means you will cease to exist. Before it occurs, have a cigar and a bourbon. It beats chewing kale. And the kale chewers and cigar chewers go in the same hole in the ground anyway. Now of course a kale chewer can claim "hey, you went in the hole FIRST"!!! And the cigar chewer says "yeah, that's why I got the bottom bunk bitch". All the same in the end. On this Earth for 50 years or 100... all the same. Can I get you a Cigar? A bourbon? I don't have any kale to offer.

    Better to enjoy life than to skip experiences just trying to live longer. None of us are going to get out of this alive so we may as well have some fun and enjoy the simple things.

    Ain't that the truth. I would suggest that god has a sick twisted sense of humor.

    I use to smoke 4 packs a day or let them burn out on a machine.

    Bought them at Ft. Devens MA. in the PX $4.00 a carton, last trip in.

    I quit cold turkey in January 1988, never picked up another one since.

    After a while anyone around me smoking made me gag,

    I could could smell them 6 feet away as a smoker without them smoking.

    I quit for the sake of my pregnant wife and coming child, not for me,

    but I have benefitted from it long term.

    When in the army and not smoking the ones from the "C" rats,

    I rolled my own with a machine that had a big rubber conveyor belt in it.

    That and it was painted blue is all I remember about it, that was 60+ years ago.

    Never did drink, even to this day, was given a shot of vodka at a wedding, when I was about 15,

    F'Kd my head up and I did not like that, never touched the stuff afterwards.
