Maybe it'll pick up later.

I probably could have saved some money if I just ordered this stuff online.
Well, sometimes you have to spend some money to save some money...Right? Confused

This is what we bought along with 200 tubes and some tobacco.

They didn't have a very good selection and were way overpriced at the place we went.
I have already learned that they make a tube cut tobacco, NOT what he sold me.

The stuff we got seems to smoke OK.  The machine should pay for itself in 5 days.

I found another way to save a little money or it found me. The dishwasher just stopped getting things clean.

The spray arms are wore out and have lost pressure. The dishwasher heats water and has a heated drying cycle. I imagine it cost quite a bit just to use it.

I'm hand washing again and I expect to see a difference in the utility bill too.

Depending on how often you used it, the savings could be enough to make the extra effort worthwhile.

I saw a video of some young girl hanging herself not too long ago.  She says her final words, and then she just dangles there from a tree for a long time.  I recall someone calling her name from a distance---maybe her mother?  Apparently, she broadcast it on Facebook, and then it got uploaded to Youtube.  Very eerie video.  I don't think it's there anymore.
 
Also, a 12 year-old girl near here hung herself in June.  Cute kid.  Cheerleader sort.  Apparently, she'd been bullied at school or on social media or something.

There are videos on Spewtube and they make one wonder about the true intentions of the individuals who posted them, but that is MY perspective. I sort of consider it a rather private event that can challenge one's belief structure, even if there is a 'silver lining'.

Nothing going on. 
 
Nobody to talk to.
 
Nothing on the idiot box.
 
Don't feel like drinking any beer.
 
Can't stare at the sun.
 
Might as well take a crap and a nap.
 
And maybe die.
 
Just like this board seems to have done....

No...and some folk just take things a little too personal, sometimes - when I say TALK, I mean verbal communication...apologies now <rub.top.of.head/pat.on.back>Wink
 
I mean it is hot/humid/dead in The Swamp and things are biting...so I'm leaving for the GreatWhiteNorth immediately - now. Cooler temps, hang around a few of the pups, go kick some dirt somewhere special, and lead some inspirational sessions (sort of an 'idiots guide to how to have fun at work again and what to do if you're not')...and test out my brand new credit card (Yes I DID!) 18 years without was long enough and since my purpose is primarily business, I just had the urge do something productive and to record the financial cost of the same like I used to. Seems like a productive piece of my bran that has been unused for so long just lit back up a few weeks back.
Everybody has a 'White Album Achievement' somewhere in their life, and often, they almost have a second accomplishment equal to their greatest (these 'accomplishments' can be ANYTHING in life).
I think I'm feeling hints of greatness coming on once again. 
 
Confused"...could PaW be suffering from delusions of grandeur?", many are asking themselves...I guess *I* have to go see...Approve

I had to call my buddy to see what kind of tobacco he buys.  Today's lesson on how to kill yourself on a budget. The guy sold me this stuff.



My friend buys this.



I just bought my third box of king size tubes, 200 tubes equal one carton of cigarettes.
Still working on the same 16 oz bag of tobacco.

Before...About two packs a day.
$16.75 X 30 days = $502.50 a month.

After initial investment...
Cigarette machine   $80.00
1 pound of tobacco $10.00
200 cigarette tubes  $2.00

I bought this stuff on the 15th.

Estimated cost per month...

Tobacco    $30.00
Tubes        $6.00
---------------------------
$502.50 - $36.00 = a savings of $466.50

The math tells me you've cut the number of cigarettes you smoke in half.
 
Izzat right?  If so, congrats!

Redo the math.  600 tubes/month is equal to 3 cartons or 30 packs.  That's one pack/day.  You said you smoke two.
 
Double that and it's still a huge savings.

400 tubes in the 10 days since I bought the machine.

1 carton (200 tubes) in five days, 2 packs in one day.

OK.  You said you're buying $6 worth of tubes/month.  That's 600 tubes or 30 packs worth, meaning 1 pack/day.
