Pipestud...

This message has been posted on another forum I visit... I thought the members here would like to know. Thoughts sent for a fellow piper & his family...

are a religious person, please say a prayer for Steve; if not, please
keep him in your thoughts.

Naturally, this will keep him from focusing on his eBay sales for a while. If you are involved in one of Steve's auctions please understand this. I have no doubt that he will get things taken care of as quickly as possible!

Re: Pipestud...

Looking better ... another post by John

I used a bit of my librarian wiles to track Steve down, as there is no way to reach anyone at his home and he has no answering machine on the home phone. I just spoke to the Man himself, and Steve actually sounded extremely positive. He did not, in fact, require open heart surgery, though he did need to have some stents put into his heart. He hasn't spoken to his doctor today but according to Steve he should go home tomorrow. This is, indeed, good news under the circumstances.

Re: Pipestud...

Good news, I was just reviewing a potential tobacco earlier tonight and saw Pipestud had recently given it four stars, I always look for his reviews. I consider him the benchmark. Good to hear he's out of the worst spot....keep us posted and all our prayers and wishes are with him at this difficult time.

Sterk...be 'strong' as they say in Holland. Perhaps someone can post a photo...if it is not too intrusive.

Re: Pipestud...

I was always very impressed with his reviews on TR. Damn shame this had to happen to someone like him, and that all I can do is wish him a clean and speedy recovery.

Re: Pipestud...

Great news ... post from Steve on another forum ...

--------------------

A Huge "Thank You," from your friendly, neighborhood Pipestud

Howdy Gang,

First, I am simply overwhelmed by the well wishes from all of you. I am a man blessed way beyond what I deserve with friends like you, most of whom I have never even met. I'm proud to call you my friends.

Secondly, I am a dadgum idiot. For the last month, I have had occasional tightness in my chest area and arms. I'd walk it off and hoped that it was just a temporary thing. Last May I had my annual physical and had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I didn't do anything about it, figuring I'd just work out more and quit eating so much fatty stuff, which I love. To top off my idiocy, working three jobs and seven days a week kept me from enjoying my pipes and I chose the quick nicotine hit method of smoking cigarettes (nearly a pack a day) and one pipe in the morning and one or two in the evening and inhaling to boot. I got what I deserved.

With seven areteries in my heart block from between 40 and 90%, seven stints were put in. My wife says the color of my skin and the clearness in my eyes are something she has not seen in a long time.

The doctors say I should be leading a normal lifestyle in a week or so, but only with about 6 different pills everyday for perhaps the rest of my life.

I will adhere to my new diet restrictions, my wife has thrown out the carton of cigarettes in my office, and I will smoke one pipe in the morning and 1-2 in the evenings without any inhaling.

I think I'm over being an idiot (okay, I'll only be a partial idiot from now on).... You should have heard the promises I made to God while taking that ambulance ride to the hospital. I intend to be around causing mahem wherever I go for many years to come.

Thanks again to all of you fine folks for your concerns and well wishes.

Pipestud

Re: Pipestud...

Mr. Fallon best not stop with his reviews because I wouldn't know what new baccy to buy....I find we have many 4 stars in common, that said Pipestud doesn't give out fours stars as eagerly and as youthfully as I....some of his 4* merits are: OJK, Sherlock Holmes, Royalty, Escudo, Irish Flake, Black and White, Kajun Kake, Black Mallory, Cube, Danish Mixture, The Peddler's Pipe, 799 Golden Label.....the list goes on.

I love his open minded whilst still super experienced way of reviewing....he concerns me when I love Scottish Cake but he only gives it 2 stars and Scottish Flake 4 stars...going against the grain to say the least, such thinking encourages me to try Scottish Flake before I place a bulk order for the latter....so you see he can't stop doing those reviews....we need you Pipestud!
