Read the story, note the
Girl Scouts, humiliated I can't do better at the moment
, busy tracking the fire, which looks more promising today.
Thank you
@mattiem and
@DavidOck for the tips. If things remain quitter tomorrow, not really likely, I'll try to give it a whirl. I'm an old dog and don't like new tricks.
I can eventually adapt, I just don't like to. Call me grumpy, I don't care. The old way worked so much better.
Sorry folks, I did go AWOL, nothing bad just busy with work and the kid and wife, and
vaping stuff makes me grumpy lately. The Federal stuff, the California stuff. I'm trying not to be disheartened, and I take comfort in the knowledge that I, personally, will be fine, but it all just makes me so angry. I know you all know exactly how I feel.
I haven't kept up but have browsed on occasion and if frustrates me. I used to care immensely about those that smoked and hadn't found vaping. Today, anybody that smokes and doesn't know about vaping is out of touch with reality. It is a tragic shame but they aren't paying attention. I'm losing sympathy but perhaps I've become calloused, I hope not.
Some, many, of the laws being passed (especially here), are insane. A smoking/vaping flavor ban? How about a flavor ban on vodka, vitamins, condoms, etc? May not help you, you're a saint, but I've tried to care a less emotionally and focus on the technical side. Not working out well since I'm not on here that much due to health/fire issues but it does give me a minimal amount of peace of mind.
Hang in there, you're one of the top orators here, don't let that flame die. You don't have to carry all the weight but people do listen when you post, even if they vehemently disagree. The upside is that if they disagree, they don't have a leg to stand on.
I've read some of it, they don't.
It is okay to take break, when you come back people take notice. When you do take break, pop in with a couple of likes on this thread to let us know you are okay and all is good. We do worry about you and your family. BTW, what I wanted to give you is on the evac list.
You may have to come and retrieve it.
