Now for some piece of interesting news...the official spokesman of the Egyptian Government issued a statement announcing that the pertinent authorities are currently carefully monitoring the Pokemon Go game in order to put in place mechanism to deal with the dangers it poses to national security!! Earlier the vice president of Al Azhar (the Islamic equivalent of the Vatican) stated that Pokemon Go is religiously forbidden because it has the same effect as alcohol, which is considered a major sin in Islam.

Save us!!! :cry::cry::cry:

That's not completely incorrect :lol:
So ...instead of buying your date drinks you can play Pokemon Go with her ....and hope that somehow you'll get lucky by the end of the evening.

Or have a candle lit dinner for two and instead of a bottle of wine you can play Pokemon Go with her

Or try to convince her that there is a pokemon hiding in the bedroom..or under her dress

I'm not shocked, just saddened :(
I saw a news story last night about a teenager that got hit by a car playing pokemon. Sure sounded like a gear up for a lawsuit. I just wish it was illegal to sue over your own stupidity.

Not me.

I just wish I had the immoral compass to do something stupid enough to sue for.

After consulting with Misty it's clear that my original post regarding the 6 Ultem Nuppin cap giveaway violates ECF rules for supplier threads. I will therefor not run a "contest", I will just send them to Peter so he can pass them on to the final list of Nuppin customers. I edited my original post as you see quoted above.

@Drifter please edit your post as well Marcus, thanks buddy.

Edit, nevermind I see you already explained.

Glad there was a way, but I am curious....did she say why it violated the rules?

Well, I guess it's a good thing that not everyone minds the trickle down costs of other peoples stupidity.
I found full coverage ACA health insurance for under $180 a month including dental and vision. And it's a no restriction PPO.

Not that I don't mind. I just work around it.

A supplier can run a contest but he has to open a second thread to do so (if he already has a second thread he has to close that first), he can't do it on this thread. Likewise if a member wants to run a contest he can only do it here

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forums/member-contest-forum.462/

Such are the rules folks:blush:

Went to that link, and it doesn't like me trying to sign in with my ECF credentials. Tried the password reset and it said it doesn't know me. ?ecf.slack.com? What don't I know living under my rock?

Would that I was only speaking to health care. It ties up the courts, that we pay for, drives up the costs of every day consumables, etc.

Theft and fuel prices are far, far greater culprits.

Literally and figuratively highway robbery.

Not to mention imaginative inflation in the U.S. just because "we can afford it".

Healthcare and prescription drugs being the biggest culprit. My dad was just telling me about a drug he needs that runs ~$20,000 here and ~ a couple hundred bucks in another country yesterday.

Fraud may top the list... but only because certain industries are unregulated in pricing here and committing price fraud against the entire populous.

My health care was only my most recent conquest.

Another example; I'm putting gutter guards on my house and fixing up the gutters and downspouts. All together it will run me under $300. To get it "fixed professionally" might easily cost me over $5k.

And could easily be done wrong. For example, they were originally "professionally installed". Yet, I just yanked a half a tube of silicone caulk out of one of the seams last week. Replaced it with gutter seam seal and the leak is gone.

Also added necessary extensions that were never installed. Apparently, they were an "unnecessary" up sell. :facepalm: Lucky the house is still standing.

Huh, the actual URL hidden behind the link text is hxxps://ecf.slack.com/archives/D02TS08GC/p1468531822000007 (broke the link with hxxps) I bet that is a background admin discussion area going by the "team" theme presented at slack
