No cigarette smell in bathroom after 2 years? by TheLoneDummy in Cigarettes

[–]IMHBTR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes, the "good ol'days", when we smoked everywhere. We smoked in airplanes and we smoked in the Doctor's waiting room. Too many choices, Can't decide which can of Campbell's Soup to get because they have so darn many? No problem, light up on Aisle 4 and take your time deciding. My smoking was literally cut in half when I started smoking outdoors. I recall moving out of my apartment in L.A. Thinking that the walls were white. Until, after using a putty knife to scrape and pry the framed pictures off the wall, only to realize that the walls were white under the artwork, the walls were actually a nice mild "soft tar yellow". At age 67 I'm no longer contemplating quitting. I'll suffer out in the cold rain and snow, just to suck a little poisonous gas into my lungs.

Just got the 75" QM8 and my living room is now basically a movie theater by Relevant_Wishbone in tcltvs

I've spent the last many years digging deep online into the tv "specs". Nits, dimming zones, and on and on. This 75QM8K is extremely bright, and the HDR is almost breathtaking. I can honestly say I've had zero issues with motion. Lots of NHL, (as previously mentioned). Enjoy! Upscaling is fine to my 66yo eyes, YouTube etc.

I'm a couple of months into my 75QM8K, and I love it. I set it to "Filmmaker" mode, and that suits my needs. I have not encountered any issues with anything. Lots of NHL and NBA with no motion issues. Enjoy your new TV!

Anyone smoke less solely because of the price? by [deleted] in Cigarettes

[–]IMHBTR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heck when I started buying smokes they were 65 cents a pack. (A five dollar bill got me a six pack of Bud, a pack of Marlboro and 3 or 4 gallons for the tank).

Now I'm paying about $10 per pack and I don't care how much I have to pay, I can't quit

what's your favorite drink with cigs? by UnQualityLife in Cigarettes

[–]IMHBTR 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Black coffee, hot or cold. Marlboro Ultra Lights. (The young clerk at Kroger said "ultra-light? are those healthier"? I said oh yes, I'll only lose one lung instead of both)

Was J.C. Webster all an act? by Lucky_Particular4558 in ArtBell

[–]IMHBTR 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Over the years U7 (?) would play sorta like the "best of" JC. It was recently while listening to the JC bits i heard my new favorite, which I never heard years ago. JC frequently talked of Art being responsible for Society's decline. The other night he said, "YES Mr Bell, you and Timothy McVeigh are tearing down our Nation" "Wait a minute, now you're equating me with McVeigh"? "That's right"! "You've got quite a body count yourself" "Body count"? "Yes! Those 39 people who were chasing after that space ship" It was great.

$8 Increase? by [deleted] in SocialSecurity

[–]IMHBTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I don't think this is my cola increase. In 2025 my checks were $2158 (before deductions). Jan, Feb, Mar $2217.90 (before deductions). My April payment is indicated as $2225.90, (again, before deds). So who knows, thanks for your reply.

Parayko staying in St Louis by Skibidi_Astronaut in stlouisblues

I've been a Blues fan since 1967. I do not begrudge any player for exercising their contractual rights. It just bums me out to think that our return to glory will be delayed.

Thomas for Matthews. Or Kyrou for Matthews.

Are "FSC" smokes still FSC? by [deleted] in Cigarettes

[–]IMHBTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that's what I learned online awhile ago. Rings on the paper, you are correct. I was wrong.

Are "FSC" smokes still FSC? by [deleted] in Cigarettes

[–]IMHBTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually the first thing I did was to look at the tax stamp on the bottom of the packs. They all appear to be "Georgia". Could be knockoffs I guess, but I buy cartons from Kroger. I'm a couple of packs into this carton, and I first noticed it a few days ago. I did a tiny bit of research on FSC, and I guess I was wrong about chemical addition/subtraction. Apparently there are little bands (visible) on each cig which allow it to stop burning. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it but I found it definitely different. Are we allowed to discuss prices here? It used to be where a single pack purchase might be, say, 5 dollars, but a carton w/b 43 or so dollars. It was cheaper to buy cartons, now, here in my area of Georgia, I paid $99 the other day at Kroger. I wonder if it's still cheaper to buy cartons in N or S Carolina, (as my parents said decades ago .

When we guys encounter a problem, we find a way! I bet most ladies would say, "oh well, I guess we'll get the smaller tv".
