Isaac...... oh Isaac.
Right now, as much as I'd like to engage every positive bone in my body, I feel depleted. Prolly along with every other outright FAN here, I am just too saddened to think of .... can't even say it.
I'm certainly glad that you got a slave labor position to help bring in some denaro. Does this mean that you'll be working while Val and kiddies are eating turkey?
Sweets, thank YOU for my order. I wish I could get some more...... and I may do. (ok, world.... no prezzies for anyone but me!)
I've meant every word, Isaac. This journey, MY journey, was in so many parts based on you. I was so very fortunate to find you early on. Let's take a trip down memory lane, shalst we?
I started vaping full time on January the 25, 2011. Those first few months, I had NO KLUE what to buy, and was absorbed by YouTube videos and ECF threads, in order to learn as much as I could. I think I knew how to debridge an atty by week 3.
By April, I had heard the hullabaloo of your "GOODNESS" and decided your attIEs and cartos should be in my arsenal. (By the way, I had no clue we called it an arsenal back in those days.)
By June, I discovered the lusciousness of your flagship liquid and ordered myself some massive 20ml bottle of the PG RY4.
Ummm......... YUMMM. It truly was the first vliquid I could taste-taste, and the one that kept me interested and coming back for more. All the others I had tried were "meh", but I vaped them just the same, and blamed their non-goodness with vapor's tongue.
The rest, from then til now, is herstory.
I did not ever expect that you and I would become friendly or Friends! And I can tell you the day it happened. There was a VaperCon or a VaperFest or a VaperSomethingOrOther, and Wharfy attended. I had asked him if he wouldn't mind getting me some RY4 from you while he was there. He and I chatted briefly, and somehow, you and I said hello.
Welp, you had me at HELLOOOOO!
And you are right... so right. No matter the events that transpire, we all get to takeaway some most AMAZING connections and friendships, and tho I have tears in my eyes over this, some are tears of joy.
If you would like to include me on any conference email, call, FB, ECF (as DPL, the magnificent, suggested), I would be honoured, and then some. Meanwhile, I do hope we can use this medium, this thread, if that's ok with you. If we need to take it private, I'm on board.
And a quick note to you, Ms. Bovinade......I'm very familiar (sadly) with the progression of dimentia. If you need anything.... (Vit B12 sounds like a marvelous idea)
My love to you all. My incredible THANKS to you all. How appropriate.
Happy THANKSgiving, IKV'ers and 'ettes.
