How about a hand-holding forum....

**Kent C** · 07-06-2009, 05:00 AM

... for those who are consistently burning up batteries, atomizers, having problems with vapor and flavor or are allergic to PG or VG, or want to quit ecigs or can't get off analogs or are not sure if ecigs are really safe and think that a ban is sure to come, etc. etc. IOW, somewhere to move them off 'general' when the subject is no longer 'general' but specific to them, and off the 'newbie forum' after they are no longer 'newbies'.

What he said.

Guys! Part of the learning curve is complaining. The best part of this forum is to share your knowledge and learn. I would never had made it this far without some helpful posts by Breakfast Chef.
Yes it gets old, but then they come around and become the ones who complain about the complaints! They also become the ones who help.
Not everyone is cut out for e-cigs. Not everyone stays with it. It's just part of life. When you get frustrated go start a fun thread and let some else hand hold for a bit.
You guys should have been with me when I was learning power tools and guns! Now that was a complaint fest to behold..but hubby lived to tell the tale and he lets me play with the table saw and 357 when I want to.

Thanks to all the pro's out there who helped me!

I understand what you're saying here. And my note wasn't about someone who simply has a complaint. I'm talking about the 'chronic attention depleter' who, no matter what is suggested, always has a counter to what you offer on how that won't work either. There's a difference.

And ...

while I couldn't be with you during your 357 learning curve, I was with my wife during her 9mm learning curve. Now she's the best shot in the family.. :-) I go to the Nationals at Camp Perry every year - it's just a few miles away and in the last 7 or so years, it has been women that win the 1000 yard event in most of those years (they compete against the snipers from the military!). Different women have won too, although a few have repeated.

I understand what you are saying now! Those who just want to disrupt the flow ..to be a pills as my family would say. Well in my opinion..it wouldn't be a cluster with out a few nuts.

Though i could live with just a cluster!
With the 357 it wasn't as much a learning curve as it was a kicked on your butt fall! I did learn the stance and the two handed grip without head butting myself..too many times! But I liked it anyway..much better then the 38 and 22. I never understood the point of those two. If I am aiming at a person (as opposed to a target)..I don't want to just p.o. him, I want him gone! The noise alone should do it.
Rifles were my downfall, I hated having that gun so close to my face to aim. I took it in college, my instuctor was trying out for U.S. olympic team and was a major taskmaster/ Mistress as it was a lady. I was better at breaking down, then shooting. Passed with a b+. I shot my finals after having 4 wisdom teeth removed earlier that morning.
Should have let hubby do the teaching.

A +P round in 38 spec. can work, but you're right. I got my wife a 9mm Taurus revolver and she shoots +P in that. 92% 'one shot kill'

Ouch. Wisdom teeth being pulled was the one and only time I've ever took Tylenol and I walked the floor before that. Too much... The AR15 .223 is easy to shoot and unlike other 22 rounds this one will do more than p.o. someone. I was US Army Infantry so it is a natural choice for me.

I'll check it out. Thanks MaryKay.

BTW, I'm now officially a 'hand holder' Lol:

What e-cig to get?

Never said I wasn't, just that there might be another forum for _certain type_ of threads :-)

**Mary Kay** · 07-07-2009, 01:48 AM

Good On Ya! Karma will pat you on the back down the road.

If SJ made a section for the pills..who would go there? I just wish people would ignore them once it's established what the agenda is. same with the sky colored e-cigs.
