    How do you feel about smokers now?

    As with everything else, my first thought goes to the golden rule. How would I want a vaper to treat me were I still burning the brown leaves? It would be nice of him or her to leave me alone unless I asked them about their funny looking computerized cigarette, then I'd love to hear the...

    What If? Would you go back to analogs?

    Not a single Hallelujah? Not even one? :cry: So I'm gonna be standing on the National Mall alone, Capital Police ripping the Triton VV out of my hand and breaking it on the ground as they latch down the handcuffs two clicks too tight and shove me into the back of their car. You guys...

    What If? Would you go back to analogs?

    This thing we call "vaping" will never cease to exist because no matter how outlawed it ever is, there are going to be people like me who say "If you have to choose between doing what's right and doing what's legal, you should ALWAYS choose to do what's right." And yes, I'd rather risk prison...

    Being the Devil's Advocate Here : If you are vaping with Nicotine juice, you ARE still a "smoker"..

    I arrive late in a thread and y'all are already into the sex and prostitutes. I'm gonna have to start sending in chaperones, aren't I? OK, this whole thing is really about how it looks to vape. People say, "It looks like smoking, so how can it be so different?" And we all know that...

    The word "stinkies"

    Not as far as I would have been, because when I turned 29 I decided to halt my advance and begin a retreat, which I've continued ever since. My current age is 12 years old. It didn't bother me when I retreated below the legal drinking age 8 years back, because I hardly ever drank alcohol...

    Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I feel the very same way every day. Literally every day. Nobody needs to worry, though. I'm not going to go getting all mushy and gushy like I did after the overwhelming responses to Hell Hath No Fury. :wub: ("I love you guys. And gals. Every one of you. I wanna have all your babies. I...

    Dig a Really Great Drummer? Check out Steve Smith Practicing at Home

    He's really more than just a drummer. "Rhythm Engineer" would be more appropriate. This is Steve Smith of Journey fame. I got hooked on this guy's work ever since I used my allowance money at age 13 to buy Journey's live album Captured in 1981. His solo in the second half of La Do Da just...

    Desperate! Please help me!

    Lots of great advice in this thread, but this one really hit me. In other words, "Grit your teeth and lean into it, man! You'll beat it. And in the meantime, we've got your back." ;)

    The word "stinkies"

    I just had a memory of the SNL episode when they were doing the Celebrity Jeopardy! skit with Sean Connery and the "S-words" category. "I'll take 'swords' for $200," and Trebek kept trying to correct him, "that's 'S-words' Mr. Connery." "Yes, 'swords' for $200." :lol: And in trying to...

    I had a dream... share yours

    Ha ha, very cool! :) I dare not share my dreams here. Anyone who read through the conversation I had with my G50 clearo when I was completely conscious will understand when I say that if I start sharing my freaky dreams here, the ECF web servers will start floating up off the floor and...

    Don't you hate it when a vapemail delivery date by USPS doesn't happen lol

    The second gaming PC I built and sold in the course of a new business venture was destroyed by the USPS on its way to my customer back in 2008. Looked like it had been dropped from a helicopter. Thankfully, I had it insured for the full value (just over $2k). My customer was very restrained...

    The word "stinkies"

    Point well taken. But my own contempt isn't focused on the group we belonged to, but on what the cigs were doing to us. I'll have no problem calling them the ugliest words I will ever be able to think of.

    Perfect vaping evening

    Mmmm ... beer. I haven't had a beer in, geez, how long has it been? At least 8 years. :blink: Surgery, then drugs, then more surgery, then more drugs. Made me forget what it was even like to drink one. :cry: I used to LOVE Fat Tire, but I couldn't get it in GA for the longest time...

    The word "stinkies"

    I was thinking of having my last, unopened pack of Salems poured in clear resin like a fly in amber and then framed to hang on my wall with a little caption: "Unsmoked & Unwanted".

    The word "stinkies"

    At some point within my first few days here, I called them "stink sticks", but that's a bit too long to use often. All we really have to do is wait a decade or so. Then we won't have to call them anything because they will be extinct. Wiped off the face of the Earth by vaping. Billions of...

    What is your vaping style/frequency during the day?

    Me too. I'll get into writing scenes and stories with music playing in the background, and will do nothing else for hours. It completely consumes me. My record so far is 30 hours. No vaping, no drinking, no eating, no rest breaks, no coffee breaks, four very quick bodily function breaks, my...

    What are you doing right now?

    Ah, but you see, down in Macon there were separate gangs of us, each of whom had our own 96Rock Plate Decree. Best known were the Right-Side-Uppers and the Upside-Downers. There was a splinter group, the Switch-Back-n-Forthers, but they were never trusted by the other gangs, and ended up...

    What are you doing right now?

    At home, not homing. :blink: OK ... Just ignore me. I'm feeling a bit giddly today. :p
