I gave up drinking, not for any real reason, I just walked into a store one day to buy a 12 pack and thought jeez I am ******* that much away every 3 or 4 days. Walked out without buying. I spend too much on computer hardware and gaming anyways :p

Edit: Now why could I not do that with tobacco?

I didn't see it with smokin' till I added it up as the annual cost (for both of us) :blink: basically it was the cost of the Alaskan cruise (balcony room) that my wife's been wanting for years. Obviously haven't saved anywhere near that :lol:

I always viewed the cost of smoking as a living expense, and then along came vaping. If I spend more on vaping than smoking--so be it. At least I will live longer.

I'm off to bed. Goodnight everyone.

I lived with the cost of smoking but purposely never added it all up. I smoked heavily, dipped Copenhagen constantly and had a nice cigar every night, not some luxury cigar, more along the lines of Macanudo. When I finally saw that I could vape instead of smoke (that was 2 years in the making) I did my vape budget off what I spent on tobacco. I have busted that vape budget every dang month..... :) Fun though!

I think I finally talked my wife into taking a cruise :) I been working on it for a few years. Now she says we need to interview dog boarders. We cannot leave the Moose with just anybody. :facepalm:

Unfortunately I'm sittin' on a bunch of higher end cigars that I can't enjoy anymore since I quit smokin'. I can get thru roughly a third then it just becomes too much, kind of a waste...

I have somewhere around a dozen or so Macanudos. I have about that many handcrafts from Bobalu's on 6th street here. Kinda neat, you get to watch them roll and press them :) but yeah kind of a waste. I do not even try to light one up. I do get one out here and there to smell...

I am wanting to do the Alaska cruise as well. Wife wants to do a short cruise first half of this year and maybe a longer one in November or December. My wife hates malls, hates shopping, hates crowds... Should be able to find some quiet spots though.

Morning all. Went to bed at a normal hour last night (so *that* won't last!), and only skimmed the last few pages, but Sam got my attention with the Beatles... always a guaranteed way to get my day off to a good start.

I've got a bookcase being delivered today that I have to figure out how to fit into the house (one of those "hey, we're going to throw away this book case, do you want it?" situations). I know it'll fit somehow, but there will probably be some shuffling of existing bookcases before we can find a chunk of wall space big enough to squeeze it into. So, about to take my TARDIS and my tape measure and do some of that *math* stuff.

Vaping some Dark Chocolate mixed with things I can't remember. I missed having something chocolate in the rotation enough to go ahead and wrap a coil.
