    :laugh: OK I'm laughing too hard to type now. Run to the drugstore and get some Valtrex, I think that one's going to be your viral breakout hit!

    We'd certainly all like to think so, but as long as Canada has all these vast areas full of more snow than could possibly be made into balls and snow people, even if every single Canadian spent every minute of every day doing nothing else, ever, and year after year, it insists on keeping every...

    No, you have a new fellow adoptee who just happens to be named Uncle, as well as one from frosty fun-filled Finland who has a 2-headed donkey pillow and the same old loopy, eccentric Auntie or some vague relative you're always had. Why waste an afternoon on imponderable mysteries when you can...

    LOL Uncle, you are mighty sweet, but I was just teasing jtpjc. He is a very gifted comedian, go see his youtube channel if you get a chance. And I think Uncle is a fine name!

    After more than 45 years....I wound up here

    Hi Sharon! Yes, I remember when doctors would advise pregnant women who didn't smoke to start, to combat nerves and nausea and aid in digestion. All babies were routinely fed by people holding the bottle in one hand and a cigarette in another. I used to say my first one didn't even make me...

    My Friend Is Switching Needs Advice

    I would find out what it was she liked about the one that helped her cut down. If it looks like a cigarette, that might be important. If you have other ones you could let her try, you could see which one felt the most comfortable to her, but the ones that hold more juice might be a better fit...

    Dumbest Thing You've Done with your E-cig

    The other day I dropped it, and immediately looked down, frantically batted at the pillow, and brushed off the surrounding area... to be sure I had extinguished any sparks...

    I sent off for some of those plastic lip protector things that look like part of a toy horn because I thought it would be cheaper in the long run than the huge quantities of Burt's Bees lip balm I was using, is that what you mean?

    What Do You Think of Refilling Cartomizers With the Rubber Cap (like Dr. Vapor)

    I think if you have low vision, Dr Vapor's way is less messy. I've just started practicing, trying to learn, but it seems to me that dripping it is probably a better choice for people whose eyes are somewhat functional as opposed to mostly ornamental.

    Are you sure? I thought I did. I know I mentioned your blue hippo pillow. How did the cupcakes turn out? I know I thought about you. If nlgom hadn't changed his name to Uncle, I had this plan to see how long we could convince you he's from Holland, but decided I didn't really know him well...

    Tangent: anti-e-cigaretteism and You: What The Opposed Believe - Main

    The Sin of Pleasure and The Virtue of Suffering While hardly a monolith, and thus displaying a more or less expected assortment of gradations, one the groups' shared belief elements presented itself as a variant of one of the oldest and most popular of its species: Suffering Good, Pleasure Bad...

    Tangent: anti-e-cigaretteism and You: What The Opposed Believe - Intro

    The first time I heard of an "anti-smoking" group being opposed to e-cigarettes, my curiosity was piqued! They're safe, they can be used by even old and sick people like me, they taste good, they come in pink - what's not to like? When I took the time to stop, read and listen, I made an...

    People truly Opposed to e-cigarettes are driven by misinfoception or belief. Whether we're at a cocktail party, a family dinner, or on the internet, one of the trickiest conversational skills to master can be recognizing the difference between the two. If you aspire to seize your Good Deed...

    WoW MustangSallie, Thanks! You've made my night and swelled my head even larger than it already was! I've been so juice-blessed and don't even know yet which ones will go into my PIF Hope Chest, so if I won, I would just ask to have it passed on to the PIF Emergency Department for the next...

    I know, right? countrygirl1291, you are doing GREAT! I'd give my fine probably-porcelain-enrobed-by-now eyeteeth to get mine down that much! I set out to do a gradual transition, as befits my Aged and Infirm status. But I guess my heart's secret notion of gradual and my body's more...
