"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

Well not to derail the bafoonery and general good times happening in here,but I got some news from the doctor today. Turns out the reason I've felt like rewarmed crap, been going to the bathroom every 45 minutes, blurry vision, insanely thirsty all the time is I now have type 2 diabetes. However I am NOT letting it be bad news, I need to change up some things anyway. I'll be 44 next month and being overweight is caught up to me I reckon. So no more Mountain Dews, Pepsi, cookies, white breads rice and pasta. Hello lean meats and veggies! We got good well water, I can have all the pinto beans I want, and a cup of black coffee. So it isn't all bad, except doc says no bourbon. Bourbon is too sugary, and I just aquired a taste for it. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I reckon if I want to live long enough to see my great niece and nephew reach adulthood I needed to change things anyway. This is wake up call! To good health!
Now back to the bafoonery and jolly conversation!

You've got the right attitude, David, that will surely help. Good luck and good health to you.
I was around your age when I figured I better stop burning the candle at both ends. That was almost 30 years ago, so it was probably the right decision.
 
Heh I just turned 45 back in December
And my only real vice is smoking...although it doesn't seem too be bad... yet
The irony is I just lost my father at the end of January due to complications due his lifelong habit of smoking. And he was in rough rough shape the last few years

I am not gonna pretend this is some movie where I quit cold turkey and "turn my life around"

But I am trying to ween myself off the cigarettes and lean more into my vape. But it's hard

So long story short
We gonna be in this together I think 😂🤔
 
VAPE?! oh no...try this simple method that I came up with years ago...
Stop Smoking in The Morning....
Stop Buying Them...
You will feel better and pocket enough cash for an overseas trip in just one year.!
As for vapes...
 
Packing in smoking is very demanding, used to do it for 2 years then start up again to show off my will power :D I liked pipes as the variety and taste of pipe tobacco used to be wonderful but that began to change. 3 different doctors told me pipe smoking presents very little risk to health as you don't inhale- unless you have heart problems and the tobacco contains no additives like cigarettes. I liked to believe them. But giving up is very hard but there's no half measures you can't cut down you have to stop and endure the torment. Smoking helps you concentrate and think no question but...

Now I dislike it if a smoker gets near me, they reek and their stained teeth and fingernails...:poop:o_O and that phlegm cracking cough👽 However, if Balkan Sobranie Flake were available again in those beautiful slim green tins which I used to have dozens of....😍

Best wishes, David. I’ll be right there with you, I know I’m gonna pay for my past.

Sorry to hear that, David. Good attitude, though. Prayers for your health.
(Is there too much sugar in scotch? 'Cause that's pretty good, too.)
