You should be able to upload the pic right away, if it fits the size limit. If you're still totally stumped, post the link to the pic here and I will try some admin magic.

Thank you, sir! With the weather starting to be less horrible, it's perfect timing to catch up with the briar.

First pipe in six weeks... long fight with respiratory crud, overlapping with huge project at work with long night shifts. The welcome back to the briar began with C&D Black Duck in a Growley billiard. Marvelous.

Trust fund brats. And the striving wannabes who can't actually afford it but emulate them with gaudy but inferior stuff. And those two groups describe the conspicuous consumers from every era, on back to the beginning of mechanical reproduction. If Jay Gatsby were imagined today, he'd be a...

The novelty pancake skillet ad underneath it is a nice counterpoint. "The dead are returning to walk the earth! And now I'll never get a chance to make perfectly round pancakes!"

You making aliyah? Sounds like a very cool tat. (Of course, I could join the Knesset, and my mom would still cluck her tongue about my ink...)

Shoreline CT here, all is well, just a bunch of snow. Lucky to have today off, but I'm about a mile and a half from work and the smart money's on walking tomorrow. Actually should be fun... for sufficiently warped New England definitions of "fun."

Both of my upper arms have ink, more coming when my schedule and wallet are friendlier. There's a way-back old thread on BoB ink with some good pics... I'll scroll back and link it when I find it.

Glad to hear that little bit of good news in there with all the difficult business. THinking good thoughts. Anything I can do, you know how to reach me.

I find nothing helps me unwind like a few Finnish murder ballads, adapated for the accordion. http://www.npr.org/2012/11/09/164801005/squeeze-box-brutality-murder-ballads-from-finland My favorite part of the interview is where he indicates that he cut some of them back in length from hundreds...

It would also make tomatoes, eggplant, and large amounts of potato controlled substances. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199308053290619 Ridiculous. Pure political theatre. (Also, LSD is only schedule III in Oregon? Damn Stumptown hippies.)

My mother-in-law lives with us, does that count?

Old Spice, mostly. Burberry London when I have to keep it classy.

Your mom yelled at a nurse when she caught her strapping your dad onto the bed... riiiiight, "convulsions." Keep telling yourself that's what they were for.

Keeping you and yours in my thoughts, Bran. Get in touch if you need anything.

I use a ISI siphon--gift from the MIL, works great, only wish it prepped more than a liter at a time. CO2 catridges are not too terrrible when bought in quantity online. I've mentioned it under a similar soda water topic earlier, but if you're buying by mail, make sure you're getting the...

1. This is a board about pipes and tobacco. 2. Again and again, I see members willing to ask, listen, try, learn, and even change their minds about pipe-and-tobacco practices and assumptions they've held for years. That's why there's a Rubber Room: to celebrate that open-mindedness and...

I seem to recall that train having engine troubles around UConn station this season. 8) Still good to see the underdogs dominate.

Welcome aboard the HMS GH&Co! Best Brown is a steady favorite of mine, too. A "good-natured" tobacco is how I put it. Not for everyone, but it does what it does so well. Keep plenty in the cellar.
