Did that jean jacket have fringe? That was so cool!
Could be worse, could of been a satin baseball jacket.

Love your new avatar Robino1. You both look so happy. And one again I tip my hat to all the Ladies and Gentlemen in the room.
(The Army thread got so big I lost the ability to keep focused and still maintain my sanity. LOL.)
Cheers my Lady.
Awwww shucks....
Thanks
So, did you thank the guy that invented the 3 section garbage truck that makes recycling easier ?
Did you thank the person that invented your vacuum cleaner ?
Did you thank the person that invented the electric washing machines and clothes dryers ?
Did you thank the person that wrote/financed/put together the deal that created the last good movie you watched ?
Did you personally go thank the chef and restaurant owner for the last restaurant meal you had ?
Did you thank the person who invented fire resistant/proof carpeting ?
Did you thank the person who filled your last gear/juice order?
The list is just endless, and your pity party because few people saw any reason to thank someone on your posts that would never even see the posts is so totally selfish and self involved ...
If you are so people involved please do all of the above and for every other thing that makes your life decent. Then get back to us ok.
As always, thanks to all the really neat people that cheer me up and make me laugh no matter what the discussion may be.
You know who you are, Kudos to you all.

I thanked the people I get juice from, That is if its good. As for my last gear, I am not going to be sending fasttech any love notes.
I think if people thought he would actually read the thread, you would have gotten a ton of replies.
Once again I have found Robin to be the voice of reason on a somewhat contentious thread.
Wise, beautiful, sweet as honey, and clever.
Somewhat contentious? In a thread I have posted in?
OK, OK. THANK you Mr Lik. While i'm at it, I'd like to thank my septic tank guy. Without him, life around here would be pretty.............nasty.
Eh, there's nothing wrong with thanking people whether they read it or not.
But using the idea as a large hammer to bludgeon other people over the head with is in really bad taste, Arnie.
As for gratitude in general, it's a good thing to practice, every day, for all the things that happen to us, both good and bad. Yes, I am even grateful for failures and bad stuff because I learned the most from those experiences.
I think the only thing that upsets me on forums is name-calling. When I see members calling each other ...... or idiots. I was watching House M.D. re-runs, and one of the patients said:
"It is not cowardly to NOT call somebody an idiot. People aren't tactful and polite just because it's nice. They do it because they have an ounce of humility........because they know they, too, will make mistakes. And there will be consequences, and that will be their fault. "
This is what it is to be human.
Arnie obviously wants people to be better, he just chooses a self-righteous way of expressing that, and I guess we really all have a lot of work to do on our own selves......so it feels uncomfortable when somebody holds a mirror up to us and points out all the ways we could be better. Most of us are already aware of this, as well as aware of our deficits (most
) Most of us do get up every day with the idea of improving, or we wouldn't be quitting analogs.
For all practical purposes there is a lot more good taking place here than bad though. But I feel that way about the whole world anyway.

I just love this video, this lady is spot on, I have a whole cabinet dedicated to my vaping supplies and a 3- drawer cabinet for my juice, she's the best!
Please my friends, I am not trying to be condescending or Self-righteous.
It was with the best of intentions that I had created those 2 threads to honor Mr. Lik and Mr. Gilbert.
I thought it might be a nice thing to do, if these men were able to see several thousand personal messages of thanks from vapers all around the world. Such a thing might bring a smile to their faces or even a tear to these men's eyes, to know and to hear from so many and to have so many express their gratitude for their achievements.
But I really don't want to force anyone to do anything or have to shame people into it. This is something that came automatically for me once I learned of the history of E-cigs. It should be something that comes automatically and from ones heart. I personally believe these two men, Mr. Gilbert and especially Mr. Lik, have given me a new lease on life, and for me it would be dishonorable not to say thanks. It would be the least that I could do.
World vaping day is coming up, wouldn't it be a nice thing to deliver these messages of thanks to the widow of Mr. Gilbert, or his relatives, and to Mr. Hon Lik himself on that day? This was my hope, this was my dream. It is not a concern for myself, but a concern for these men whom I believe deserve our admiration and respect as father's or heroes of the vaping movement.
