Dark chocolate between smokes does wonders. Not back to baseline, but definitely helps.

(Handy hint thanks to commie Clint from back in his obsessive puffing days)

Clint, obsessive? Naaaahhhh! 🤣

I’ve used a baking soda rinse to cleanse my palate and that does seem to work too. But, like you said, not to baseline. Still haven’t done the dark chocolate thing yet since I smoke mostly at night so don’t want to take in caffeine that late in the day. Coffee, tea other caffeinated food items have left me tossing and turning till the wee, wee hours of the morning. Copious amounts of coffee needed the next day as well as a nap.

Let’s go Bengals!!!!

13-10 Rams but on that Cincy TD drive, the Bengals sure looked confident.

Hmm, halftime…considering the musical style of the “talent”, maybe I’ll wash my car instead of watching the extravaganza.

I was getting worried

As the game progresses, wonder how important that missed extra point is gonna play in the final minutes? 🤔

4th quarter.

David and Delta must be sitting on the edges of their seats.

1:55 left, obviously Rams have to score a touchdown…but not too quickly. 😰

Nerve-franking-racking!

Oh my, holding on the D!

Not the Apple of David’s eyes. 🤦

4 and 1 and you wanna throw the ball? 🤐

Congratulations Delta! 👍

What a crappy spot on 3rd down.

And those penalties on the Lambs drive, utter crap.

Congrats AL. Great game. Not the best result but still a good one.

if we're being honest here, it's much more interesting when the Pats are in the game.

Hahahahaha, no! 🤐

Not the call I would have made. Especially with Shooter Mac able to kick the long ball. Half a yard…come on, just run it.

Didn’t the Seahawks pass on short yardage. Never mind. Tough game. Very worthwhile to watch. This years playoffs have been one to remember.

Right! Cornerbacks were holding all day, and all of a sudden the refs decide to call it. Be consistent.

Bengals were a much better team than I expected...thought this was gonna be a walk in the park...and the first 20 minutes were exactly that...

then the kitties got mean and the Rams got rattled, especially after Beckham went down...both teams dropped passes that impacted the game...

Bengals secondary got all hands on deck in the end zone...grabs they woulda gotten away with in the middle of the field, but easier to spot in the close confines of the end zone...

Experience won out at the finish...first timers losing their cool made a difference...just barely and nerve rackingly so.
