Snus has taken over my soul!

[Badfish74]

Ok, so I'm watching the 50" DLP tonight when the projection lamp blows. TV, movies, and music are my life...have been for years. With the DLP out of commission, I'm left with the 19" in the bedroom that's hooked up only to a DVD player.

So I'm faced with a choice...postpone my next order of snus and throw down the $100 to replace the lamp, or go without TV for 3 weeks to a month so I can order snus next week.

I chose snus!

Good man. Now go talk real sweet to mamafish and you wont miss that TV a bit

[sagedil]

Besides, breaks are good. At the worst, just think how excited you will be when it is working again. A bit of perspective is useful.

And being without snus would just suck the big one so bad, you prolly take a sledgehammer to that TV you just blew your snus money on fixing.




I think you chose well. :lol: :lol:

[bakerbarber]

I agree with Sage.

Well said old chap.

[Badfish74]

Thanks guys! I feel better already. Although I have between 80 and 90 cans in the fridge and freezer half of my snus addiction is buying it!! 8)

Oh man! That bites. I have a DLP projector that I use for movies and sports and the bulbs were running around $200 for mine the last time I checked. I know that mine should be going in the not so distant future and I'm dreading it. I know how you feel about not wanting to spend your snus fund though. Snus now has its own line in my budget and it trumps many other "necessities".

You freakin addict, you left out that part!!!!

I take back EVERYTHING I said. You have a problem. And I think you nailed it. Buying snus. Yeah, I know it's hard, I remember that pull but you have to fight it. I was there friend. I had 80 snus in the freezer and I was running home every day looking for BOTH the packages coming from Buysnus AND Northerner.

I realized then I had a problem, and have learned to pace my buys now, have them budgeted even every other month.

Seriously. 80 cans, for me, at least, is a 4 month supply. So duh, don't buy more snus when you have more pressing expenses ahead of you. Like you would really suffer skipping two months???

So BAD choice Badfish!!

[Badfish74]

ROTFLMMAO @ sage! I feel like I just got scolded by my dad!

I admit I have a problem, but I do have priorities...
1.Babyfish
2.Mamafish
3.Snus

Damn I feel bad now! I'm sitting here going, "Man, I disappointed Sage!"

Thanks for the guilt trip!

It's not the snus, it really is the Buying the snus. I know, I really did live that life for a long time.

But I can let you in on a little secret....

Opening the freezer and seeing 40 cans feels just about almost like it feels when you open it and see 80. Try it once. Worst thing, you will go to a 100 next.

And btw, I MEANT to scold you. I really was almost pissed when I read how much you had on hand. Your first post, you really made it seem like if you spent your snus money, you would have NO snus. I felt bad for you gosh darn it!!! All I say is you are lucky Box is already sent. Well, luckier even that I am sending it to Mamafish. :wink:

[Badfish74]

Lol! I didn't mean to make it seem like I was almost out!

But there are 2 snusers in this household. And I'm helping someone that I've come to consider a very good friend out on this order. They're kinda down on their luck and I'm ordering an extra roll to send to them to help them out with shipping costs. I kinda felt like I qould be letting them down.

Plus I'm the only one in the house that really watches the TV. And I did check with the Mamafish first!

[sagedil]

LOL, Honest, I don't care which one as I suspect you will be faced with dealing with the consequences of addiction either way. :wink:

btw, two month supply??? I get REAL nervous dropping below.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

I don't care if you already have a gazillion cans of snus. Buying snus beats TV hands down IMO

[Badfish74]

If nothing else, I'll no longer have any excuses to put off some things I've been needing to get done around the house! 8)

[snupy]

You made the right choice, because TV sucks anyway and there's no such thing as having too much snus on hand. Plan for your life without TV and be sure and order extra tins of loose, spare icetools, as well as some spare snus boxes.

[Snusdog]

Ok let me see if I got all this straight.

The story thus far:

First Badfish starts a post that makes it seem like that it is either snus or TV for him.

Sympathy and support ensue

Then it turns out that Badfish has something like 6 billion cans of snus stored in a refrigerated warehouse in an undisclosed location somewhere in South Carolina.

Enter Sage and the sound of chomp ass

Badfish flounders for a moment but then recovers (Get it? Flounders?)

Anyway then Badfish tells us that he is actually ordering for a friend of his who only has one leg and one eye and has just lost his job and whose house burned down.

All would admit a very nice (though somewhat suspiciously convenient) gesture

Enter sage and the 2 month quota standard of measure for BSAS (Buying Snus Addiction Syndrome)

Oh yea and somewhere along the way Mamafish and babyfish got tossed into the mix while other BSAS sufferers voiced their support.

Man I love this site.

By the way, who the hell needs TV when we have Snuson
