r1v3th3ad Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Being back in Pittsburgh for break, I go over my buddy's place as usual. In the past I set up my small chinese knock-off hookah with Hookah Hookah blends to smoke...this time I came with my 3ft MZ and Tangiers...well, my friend's grandmother say this one and said "wow, now pat, you are sure these things are legal?"She had smoked my old one before with me briefly and liked it.I let her pick out a flavor (she chose brambleberry) and I got it going for the family.A little bit into she went to her room, she does this all the time because of her Fiber Mialgia. Well, my buddy's mom comes back out from talking with "Grams" laughing to high hell.She filled us in that the 30 some pain shops Grams had the other day didn't do anything, but now she wants a hookah.....I was puzzled and asked why...Appearantly the hookah made her soooo relaxed(I think it was the Tangiers) that she could lay down with very little pain. Its the best she has felt in years.So she wants me to surf around and find her a good one(I'm aiming at a knew KM from Gothookahs, but in general, under 30" for requirements), thinking of going with one of the tri-metals....also gonna hook her up on tangiers. Once everything is found that she wants for x-mas, my buddy is to hand me cash or credit and I'll make the transaction and make sure everything gets here in one piece.I still cant get over this and am in total shock...I think its awesome and thought I'd fill you guys in....btw, shes about 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 lol thats crazy, pretty damn funny if you ask me. But should an 80 year old be smoking even if it makes her feel no pain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hey Riv - I want in!I'll PM you - if she really wants in on this stuff, I want to send you something to give to her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokering0 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) That is a awesome story, really amazing. Mattarios, think about it though.... this women is 80 years old. She is no spring chicken. Let the women live it up. Im no doctor but i bet hookah smoke is not going to cause her body to implode in the next decade. No offense r1v as my grandma will be turning 90 here shortly. But, if i could find something to stop my grandmas arthritis the remainder of her life and it was hookah i sure as hell would slap a hose in my grandmas mouth. peace.

mattarios2 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 lol ok, i understand 80 is 80 and there isn't a huge amount of life ahead of her but still, just suggesting 80 years old and just starting to smoke hookah prob isn't the greatest thing to introduce to her body for the first time at age 80.

modisess Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 get her a mya qt or bambino... much smaller and easier to handle... oh just the thought of that poor old lady lugging around her humongous km... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slingham Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That's so awesome. I couldn't even imagine my grandparents reaction to a hookah. Much less the parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO reason to get a KM that is going to be tougher to move/store/clean. Get her a Mya QT (or something similar), a phunnel, some good coals and shisha.

The idea of a KM is because she likes very eliquant things...that night a friend knocked the hookah over and burnt her whicker table...it was out of a set of 16 that is valued at $10000...So I was thinking of one of the tri-metal hookahs or something similar. My buddy would be the one setting up for her, he is actually thinking of changing his ways(cant go into it) and switching to hookah. That is great news as well...I think I converted two and have a third on the way.Last year my roommate's grandfather came to visit. His mom and grandpa saw my hookah(I was cleaning it) and inquired, I got it going and they all joined in. They never heard of it and his grandpa hadnt had any tobacco in 20yrs. But they all really enjoyed it.I'm liking how it is catching on in Western civ...just wish people would try to learn more and respect it more. Like the knocking the hookah over story....but ya, cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speel Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Awesome story, get her a mya qt, its small enough to put any where and lets her smoke with it on a table with out worrying about knocking it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 It might very well be a reaction with her meds. A LOT of medicines seem to either amplify the effects of nicotine, or react with it... which would explain the incredibly relaxed feeling she got. Gotta be careful though, because our one friend (mandy, if you know her) started to have a few blackouts from smoking lots of Nakhla with her meds... if you'd have seen her you'd have sworn she was drunk after just a few big hits of Sweet Melon.

ara_ups Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 the same thing kinda happened to me but a little different....im armenian and baiscally the entire armenian community in my town smokes hookah and i used to do it and my parents didnt know about it and they cought me once and i said i wouldnt then they cought me again and they both gave up on trying to convince me not to that now i do it with my dad every weekend and im allowed to bring it to every family event....and my dad also wants to buy me a new one for christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 that sounds awesome dude glad she enjoyed it.However with fibryomyalgia (my dad has it) staying active is how you make it receed and hold it at bay so while hookah makes her feel good, laying down won't help her condition. just a thought.

staygone Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 After the hookah, she could do some calisthenics. Fibryomyalgia will be kept at bay, and she has no pain. MONAY!-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 welp, I managed to steal my dad's comp for a few minutes to get caught up...I'm off now to go get some homebrewed beer. Then, its off to my buddy's for another night of hookah with his family. We are going to be discussing plans for the present and if I have internet access there, I'm going to be pointing them this way.I'll get caught up on the forum and catch you guys up, for sure, on Sunday or Monday when I am back at school.Take it easy guys.
