[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 265221, member: 820"] Sorry to hear of your tough times, Greyson. I think buying a house [i]anytime[/i] is stressful. Hang in there, bro. Pipe smoking is a contemplative experience for me. If I'm in a bad space mentally, I certainly don't wish to have a long smoke while ruminating my troubles. Cigs, on the other hand, are just as you say: a quick fix. They make you feel different with little thought or effort and are just a compliment to whatever you might be doing or feeling. I notice that when I'm busy and stressed, the pipe hardly comes out at all. I also tend to gravitate to cigs and coffee during those times as a "keep me going" mechanism. As soon as the heavy concerts (or whatever) are done, the "celebratory pipe" will come out. It's symbolic of "ahhhh, life's good". For me, pipe=good mental space. :cheers: [/QUOTE]
