  1. Mud Pie

    Any "older" members still recall the time when smoking was acceptable indoors?

    I'm a Parris Island graduate, class of '79, and I remember C-Rats came with two cigarettes, not a mini-pack. I didn't smoke then and I used them as barter to the smokers. I typically traded for the "chocolate" bar in a can. I hyphenated chocolate, because if you've ever eaten them, you know...

    2 years... down the drain.

    I ignore the nay-sayers and usually throw it back on them. Find something THEY are doing and start saying crap. If they are deriding you and they have a can of Coke in their hand, start off with, "Coke ? COKE ? Don't you know Pepsi is MUCH better ? You can remove corrosion on your car...

    Two Years Ago Yesterday

    Congrats go to my wife as well. I half-jokingly told her, "Y'know, it's customary to buy yourself a little gift on each anniversary to commemorate the amount of money you saved by not smoking.". She bought me the little stainless steel snub nosed .38 I've been looking at for a while. To...

    Two Years Ago Yesterday

    Thanks for all the congrats, but to be truthful, it was a LOT easier than I thought it'd be ! I've cheated with stinkies maybe 4-5 times since I quit (as opposed to 20 a DAY, 7 days a week). And each time the experience was not so pleasant. Last time was last April while on vacation in New...

    Two Years Ago Yesterday

    Like the title says; I've been ciggy free for two years now on 01MAR15 !! So, it CAN be done !! Now I'm trying to drop the 10 lbs I added on...all on my belly. :( Right now I started an exercise/diet plan, so now that I'm way past the "I needa smoke" stage, I gotta stay away the Girl Scout...

    Car windows up or down

    I ride a Ural Gear Up, so the windows option is moot.... (I'll pause while you Google it.... :D)

    "Don't Run Out of Supplies !"

    No I won't ! That was the one bennie about analogs. You run out, you could get 'em anywhere, 24/7/52 (BTW, I'm not one of those that say 24/7/365... it's wrong. Following progression, it's 24 hours in a day/7 days in a week/52 weeks in a year....hours/days/weeks/year. Progression. Not...

    "Don't Run Out of Supplies !"

    Those words of wisdom were imparted to me by a fellow vaper in one of the buildings in which I work. I've never run out. Until this past Saturday. After noticing my supplies were not low; but GONE. I let out a Homer-esque "D'oh !!". I swore I had some left. I get online and order more. I...

    The "easiness" comes and goes. There are so many things that have become a habit or second nature that have to be retrained, but certainly not forgotten. I have to think to not call for her when I come home from work, not instinctively lean over to per her, little things like that that repeat...

    Today, I smoked.

    (apologies in advance, but for some reason I can't hit Enter to start a new paragraph) Last night my crying wife woke me up and told me my best buddy for the past ten years has died. Our cat, Peggy, was lying downstairs motionless. We have no idea why or what happened. Just two hours prior...

    Do you vape @ HOME in front of your family?

    I vape in front of anyone, no shame. In this overly Politically Correct world (you have to hyphenate everything to make it less "hurtful". I'm not short, I'm vertically-challenged. I'm not going bald, I'm follicle-impaired.) it's getting harder and harder to do anything. You have to "hide"...

    vaping in shower!!

    In the shower ?? Um, Really ?? I thought I vaped all the time !! What's next ? A timer connected to a mod, a face mask that you wear while sleeping, and the user sets the timer to give you a "hit" while sleeping ???

    Vapers Problems

    To this day, every morning I make a cuppa Joe and sit on the back patio and vape. I let my pets run around the back yard while I listen to the animals on the farm behind me begin their morning routine singing to the clouds. It's all good until the wind changes direction and blows toward...

    If Vaping replaces cigarettes

    Wanna keep kids away ? Just keep having us "old folks" keep saying vaping is "cool". If WE like it; it must be lame !! Because, y'know, we're old....and we still use the word "cool" to describe something... :tongue:

    What would you spend it on?

    I'd be no help because I've recently gotten into black powder revolvers and I'd be buying something for it... If I can't smoke, maybe my Remington 1858 can....:tongue: But I'm buying stuff with what used to be my ciggy money, so it's all good !

    It's too hot to go outside and vape!!

    I'm a Long Island boy born and raised, now living in Texas. So yes, now I know heat. All too well. My buddy (still on L.I.) called today and was complaining about the heat. I laughed then said, "You want fries with that waah-burger ?" He just says, "Oh yeah." (he's been down here to visit...

    What is your occupation?

    Official title is "Computer Instrumentation Technician". Like most job titles, it's a wordy description... What I really do is write programs for commercial office buildings to control/monitor their HVAC systems. Lots of typing all day, but I still find it interesting that the words I type...
