Hey Ranger, my wife fought breast cancer for two years, she was originally supposed to get a lumpectomy and radiation, then take a pill for five years. When they took the tumor out it was the type that spreads fast so they had to give her chemo. She was supposed to get 4 rounds of "red devil" the sh*t that makes you really sick and makes your hair fall out, then 4 rounds of Taxol. The Taxol almost killed her in the chair! She got rushed upstairs to the emergency room, they had to give her two Epipens! Anyway, since she could not take the Taxol she had to take this other chemotherapy drug that was once a week for 12 weeks! So she had a total of 16 rounds of chemo and 7 weeks of radiation. You don't need to apologize to ANYONE my friend! The oncologist prescribed my wife a patch that she wore for 3 days when she was on the first 4 rounds of the really strong chemo. It stopped ALL the sickness. They had to give it to her because she was so sick she couldn't eat or drink anything. She even tried those pot gummies and they made her worse. She would put the patch on at 5am the day of her chemo treatment and it really helped her Ranger. It was something that stopped the nausea it it's tracks.
Hi Ralph, I do feel bad complaining when I see the women with breast cancer at the oncology center. Those poor ladies go through hell. We have several friends and acquaintances that have gone through it. One, a friend of my wife's developed severe dementia. She just passed away a week ago. I can empathize as I am going through some of the same issues. Can't eat, can't swallow, living on protein drinks. Lost 65 lbs. 225 down to 160. By any chance would you know the name of the patch they gave your wife. I'll try anything that will help. I get up 4/5 times a night to clear my throat. Thanks for the message.

Probably scopamine. My brother has to have it following any anesthesia or he ends up in the ICU. Worth checking on but I assume your doc has that covered. If not ask. They have amazing drugs, but sometimes you have to ask for them. My thoughts are with you. I hope you feel better soon.
 
Enjoyed three ham, cheddar cheese, two egg open face sandwiches, a bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins, unsalted peanuts, and a golden delicious apple lunch. I'm almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink. Thinking about snacking on a couple of cookies.

Well, my LePeltier pipes have arrived! Double wall glazed clay pipes, light enough for a clincher like me and they stay hand cool. I have never smoked a Calabash but I think the double walled bowl functions in a similar manned. I christened this ornamented snifter with Bayou Morning and it was wonderful! Smooth, dry, cool smoke with clean, distinct flavour right through. Thought I'd give it a try with Ready Rubbed match for a follow-up, whiskey and water to pair. It is very comfortable in hand, sits sturdily, and has a pleasing texture. They sent both pipes with spare seals, cork, for the stems - a nice touch.

The other pipe arrived with fractures in the bowl, I have contacted LePeltier about it and will apprise everyone of their response. I would be happy with either a refund or credit, they have other styles I like. If no other solution can be agreed, I hope they can at least offer advice on how to prevent further damage to the pipe, as long as the crack doesnt bleed air I think it would be smokeable. I think it is likely the pipe was damaged in transit, the box has some crushing in one corner.
