wyteboy Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Well my friends and sort of 2nd family, I come to you tonight with a very face. I have now come down with pneumonia for the 2nd time in 6 months. My body is clearly telling me something: DUDE YOUR LUNGS ARE WEAK!!!!! Another thing lots of ppl don't know about me (and why would you?) is I was born at 5months and 3 weeks back in 1981 and weighed 1lb 13 oz. There were a lot of complications with my lungs and breathing on my own and stuff like that, so I think that the body now is telling me something..... SOOOOO it is with tears that I tell you I am, at least for the long-short-term (does that make sense) quitting hookah....my hookah is a crappy jr 18in one that is prob infected LOL, so I am trashing it. HOWEVER, I am sending about 1000g worth of various flavors of AF and Tangiers ma'assel to Mushrat ---- sooooo if you guys want samples you can hound him instead of me, hahhhhhaaa . I have been for a very long time, and still plan to be a very active member of this forum. I have tried way too many flavors to be safe (click the link) and know a lot (or so I try) about brands, good flavors, hole patterns, etc so I still hope even though I will not be smoking that I have a lot to offer to the forums.... So please all take care, and smoke in GOOD health and relaxation... One Hookah Love, Wyteboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ahh crap, sorry to hear man... But you gotta do whats best for your health at the moment. And you never know, maybe later down the road you could give hookah a try again. But for now, its good that you are being smart about it. Glad to hear you will be stickign around the forum though. Take it easy and be safe old man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus9638 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 NOOOOOOO!!!! Not our greatest and most steadfast reviewer of shisha!! Wyte, I'm sorry to see you having to lay off the hookah for an indefinite, or permanent, amount of time but it seems like you're making the intelligent choice and putting your health first. Although I'm sure it's going to be somewhat miserable to not be able to indulge, it's a smart move. Best wishes for a speedy and total recovery back to full health, bud.

Johnny_Z Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 It saddens me greatly to think that you will have to give up that which you love and have spent so much time with Wyteboy You wrote countless truely excellent reviews of ma'assell back when I was on the Forum more, and I'm sure you have written countless more since then. I would suggest we all have a moment of silence for your lungs, but I'm guessing it would be interrupted by the faint sound of bubbling water from one of us But its certainly good to hear that your still going to be around! Take some time off from smoking if your health requires it, but please don't be a stranger to the forum. I was in a position where I had to take some time away for a while, so I really sympathize with you. Take care of yourself Wyteboy... and oh... whats your favorite ma'assell these days? I'll be sure to smoke a bowl of it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR Bubble Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 My daughter had pneumonia last year and it broke my heart watching her suffer like that. So, I can only imagine how you feel as an adult with it. I guess I would do the same as you. Take care of yourself and please do hang around so we can tempt the hell out of you.

surfpico Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Dude... I'm sorry. I'll carry the torch (or should I say coal?) for you. Since I am relatively new to the world of hookah - have no fear, Heather's here! I hope you get better soon.Damn pneumonia ... I feel like wrapping my cobra hose around its neck. But then I remember pneumonia doesnt have a neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supdog Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hey wyteboy, have you concidered smoking cigars? I've been smoking cigars for about 3 years and I enjoy it very much.You don't inhale cigars, so your lungs aren't affected like with a hookah or cigarettes. When I smoked cigarettes I would get bronchitus or pneunonia at least once a year, but with cigars there has been no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpico Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Tangiers - What was so inappropriate about that? Haha... no I am not the Heather who is opening a lounge.I'm young.And broke.And lousy with the hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzzzT Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Since you are getting pneumonia persistently, I would check where you live for mold. Check your airducts or any persistent moist places. Many people get pneumonia from mold and is often a sign of it from what I hear. More people die from mold than many think, and it causes all kinds of health problems. My friend who works at a large mortuary picked up a few kids and 2 younger adults in the 30s due to death from mold in a two week period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoDenT Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 damn sorry to hear man, ill miss ya around here. Even though I don't post much, I do visit often. Thanks for the reference to Rama Geni, always remember you for that. Best place ever, and I might just drop down there for the Chicken Pita Sandwiches in a couple weeks. Feel better man.

wyteboy Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks all for the wishes!! I live in a pretty recently remodled apt building, so I dunno about mold but will look into it...... Dam right RodenT, glad you remember me for that!!! That place rules (though Veni is gettin a bit greedy if you ask me considering the price raises, but oh well, it's still amazing.) yo Rodent drop me your phone # or something and sometime when I am in LA we can get together.... I plan to maybe get back into hookah later after I have completely healed for a LONG time and feel mentally ok to smoke without the worry of "omg I am getting pneumonia right now LOL" To whoever asked about cigars, I am the biggest non-smoker to ever love hookah. never smoked cigs, never smoked cigars, only tried unmentionables a couple of times, but I just LOVE the relaxing taste of hookah and the social times as well... I'll miss it but hopefully in 2-3 years I could maybe pick it back up....or for Rodent, if I don't buy my own, as long as I move back to LA I can make a trip or two to Rama's every month Smoke on everyone, see you around the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
