=D cool, i was just wondering since i understand a bit of dutch.(when i read it) norweigan and danish is even easier to understand for a swedish speaking. But dutch is a bit different. More like german, am i right?
Interesting, and as always, non-confrontationally provocative … and it forces one to realize that our lives are peppered with lies of commission (hopefully few) and lies of omission (which is what we’re talking about here). Can one live a life completely free of lies? Perhaps, but you wouldn’t have any friends! Back on topic … I consider pipesmoking a plus – recreationally, erotically and socially. Weed out the antismokers early, I say, by letting them know. -Tom
Never lie to the insurance company. If they find out you have lied your coverage will be null and void. Lets face it to people, whether we smoke a pipe, cigar or cigs its still bad for our health and we are taking a risk and please don’t tell me its less of a risk especially the way some folk inhale while smoking a pipe. You are kidding yourselves if you believe that.
There is actually insurance specifically for pipe and tobacco smokers. It isn’t more expensive, like most people think, it just doesn’t cover or limits coverage relating to tobacco related illnesses.
Dutch is right inbetween English and German. It is far less complex in grammar than German, but probably harder to pronounce since it has all three “r” sounds humanly possible and both “g” sounds that are humanly possible. If you speak Dutch, it is easy to learn the pronunciation of any other languages since Dutch has all the sounds you need. Try this Dutch word: Angstschreeuw!
I don’t have a link, but my firm sells it. Any insurance agent that is knowledgeable and knows what they are doing can structure a policy for you and customize it for your needs. Sadly, most agents sell standard policies to people as just “tobacco users” because they make a higher commission on the higher policy fees. In most cases though, it is ignorance on their part, I don’t think it’s malicious, but you never know… If your agent says it’s not available or it doesn’t exist, get a new agent!
If you lie on insurance forms, it might nullify the contract.
OTOH, I do say I don’t smoke in doctor’s questionnaires. Non-pipe smokers don’t know anything, don’t even know one doesn’t inhale. If you explain, they don’t get it.
I don’t do on-line dating, but I wouldn’t want to be, even momentarily, with someone who can’t accept pipe-smoking. Now that smoking has been outlawed in NY bars, I don’t go to bars, either. I love the park in Summer! But its monogamy in Wintertime…Brrrr.
You mentioned that cigarettes are more harmful than pipes (paraphrasing). Why is this? I’m curious. I assume that part of it is because you aren’t drawing the smoke directly into your lungs, but is there something more to it? I know that cigarettes have filters, but I wouldn’t bet my life on their effectiveness (pun intended). Some pipes can use filters, but you said in some comments that you don’t use them.
I’m not a big pipe smoker, or cirgarette smoker for that matter, but why don’t you inhale with a pipe? Do you even get a “high ” off it, or is it just for show? It does look far more badass than a cigarette, I give you that.
One thing about pipe smoking and health is proven that pipe smokers live longer than cigarette smokers…1. Because you shouldn’t inhale pipe smoke ( but I have seen it done ) 2. Most pipe smokers are connaisseur of the finer things in life and take time to practice and have patience with the finer things life has to offer.
I woudnt mark it on an insurance policy and I wouldnt feel like I was lying. I wouldnt mark it on dating site either, but might include in the description. I sure would like to meet a female pipe smoker!!! Or at least a woman that will let me be a man and smoke my pipe
@PipeFriendCHS Can you still speak it well? Do you have much need to do so? All I know are curse words. Most seem to involve diseases. My band’s manager is from the Netherlands (Tedje Zuidhof), and cannot speak English. He uses his sister as a translater, and she sounds British, because that’s what they taught her in school.
where do you get your music? I cant find it anywhere?!
I can understand quite a bit of Swedish if I read it out aloud a few times
It is on an old Ministry of Sounnd CD

Chances are, if they say it’s not available, they are just telling you that they don’t have it available to sell to you.
I love that pipe! That is so the one I am getting next.
I like that pipe I’m going to try and get 1 the same or similar to it next.

No inhaling and pipe tobacco has far less bizarre chemical additives than cigs
Thanks.

PIpe tobacco/pipe smoke is not made to be inhaled I guess and it doesn’t give a high. It is all about the aroma and the calming effect
