April 20, 20215 yr Watching the news and seeing the the Feds are raising taxes on a carton of smokes by $4.00 as part of their new budget👍 First decent things these clowns have done since taking office. I don't know how much a pack of smokes costs here now as I quit over 4 years ago. When I quit, the cheapest I could get them (legally) was $12.50/pack, They gotta be around $16.00 or maybe $18.00 a pack by now I would guess. Still not as expensive as in Australia but we're getting there

Still not as expensive as in Australia but we're getting there G’day At the current exchange rate that equates to roughly $20 a pack Australian. $1.00 each They were that price when I quit 5 plus years ago. They are worth $1.80 each cig .. wow. Now that’s $36 a packet. $252 a week and $1000 a month. That sorta money goes a long way to paying off a house. Mind blowing. And they aren’t getting cheaper either, the price rise is automatic each year.
April 20, 20215 yr It IS amazing what a nicotine addict will sacrifice to ensure they always have some smokes! I remember saying to myself I'd quit once a pack hit $5.00 Obviously that didn't happen. Went way past $10/pack before I started thinking about it.
April 29, 20215 yr Watching Forged in Fire and thought of a great idea for the competitors to have to make so I emailed the History channel and told them about it😂😂 Damn edibles😋

May 7, 20215 yr Looking for an excuse and a destination for a short road trip this weekend. We'll be going down to Florida in ten days, but I just picked up my new truck this afternoon and want to get some road miles on it. The first accessory I put in the new truck: a brand new car seat. The little gal can ride in style and comfort.
May 7, 20215 yr Very nice @Boo, I would guess you can pretty much go anywhere you want with it 😊 Edited May 7, 20215 yr by jillar

Do a bit of a road test on the Cherohala Skyway. Head over to Bald River Falls. Maddie and Cash can play in the woods. Sugar Britches can do a bit of photography. Papa Boo might even catch a few trout. East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'...
