Morning Jo.. THANKS
LOL... not anything legitimate, Sandy. The Man-flu is usually just a bit worse than whatever same illness the female counterpart had.... says the man. It's a joke.
Raynes, Biscuits, real butter and cane syrup - sign me up!!!!
Funny you posted that video, Awsum. Wiseguy got out of his pen this morning.
I didn't latch the gate when I went into the pen and the wind blew the gate open. Wiseguy said "Now's my chance." He trotted right on outta there. First stop was the hay shed. The doors are closed but there are tasty crumbs by the door. I walk over with the halter and lead rope so he runs back to the pen.
I calmly walk towards the pen and he runs back out again, kicking up his heels and having a good ole time.
I lock the dogs up and grab a carrot.
He snorts at the carrot like it is a dangerous weapon and runs.
We do that several times with assorted head tossing and wild eyed looks and a couple of bucks thrown in for good measure. Nothing too wild just feeling good about getting out and running.
The last time he arcs out into the back area, makes a big loop, gallops by the propane tank and up the driveway. He zooms around the hay shed and back to his pen.
As soon as I get close he comes out the gate again but I have him cornered now
I dodge to the left swinging the rope. He turns to the right but there is fencing to keep in from running to the back. He swerves and trots to the left. I dodge to the left again with the arm out and the rope swinging. He feints to the right but I dodge to the right while I laugh at his wily ways.
He gets into the pen and I jog over and close the gate. It is a win for the owner in only 15 minutes.

Oooooo, biscuits and butter w/syrup!! I'll come out of lurking for that!!
You all know how much I appreciate tasteless humor and sarcasm, well I was on ECF looking at the pictures of all of the MODs that people post showing their ProVari, ZMax, etc and darkhood comes up with this post. It is priceless:

This is my type of guy a true Sienfield thinker. Hope you enjoy and are not offended.
That's my kind of sense of humor too! And if people are passing them out for niece's...
..hey, I'll have a "niece" that wants one, too! I'm feeling okay, perhaps not top notch. Hoping I just didn't sleep well last night and will feel top drawer once I get some coffee in me and step into the cold, cloudy world to feed the cute little animals.
Hubby will not be sleeping in the barn, Mark, because, as Catlady says, I am not ready to be a widow yet. If we owned a second home, I probably would have sent him there as I don't want to get the flu
Better not come over for coffee today, folks. We are under quarantine.
Sorry to hear about your husband......hope you don't get it. You know, I have noticed since I've started vaping I haven't caught alot of the usual upper respritory problems, colds, etc I usually have in the winter. I'm wondering if its the vaping. I haven't had any sinus problems or headaches either like usual. I work in a basement type area and my co-worker and I always have had problems (plus living in Michigan, everyone has sinus problems).....but this year...only her, not me. Hmmmm. I've heard that hospitals spray the VG in like a mist in the air to reduce germs (am I right?). Wonder if that has anything to do with it. Plus I'm sure the VG dries me up anyway.
OH MY, Lizzie... keep your distance! I had the ladies flu a couple of weeks ago, and just as I am starting to recover, DH gets the MAN flu. I do believe the man-flu has a mortality rate, however, I'm doubtful that it's related directly to the illness itself.
Anyway... wear your mask & keep your distance. This flu is not lethal IMO, but it's certainly not any fun.
Morning all!
Man flu....you got that right. My husband always gets it way, way worse than I do. Hmmmm.
Welcome, Natasha, nice to see you again.

I got a laugh at that one, picturing you chasing around the pony. Don't have a pony, but I had a dog I use to chase around when he would get out. Just as I'd get to him he'd dart away.....it was great fun for him!

For sure, Hubby has the man flu. Hubby is in bed after having a special order breakfast of toast with eggs over medium hard and with special tea after having his sheets changed for him cause he is special and he doesn't feel good.
I would probably end up microwaving some soup and making sure the dog got her meds since Hubby won't remember if I get the lady flu
Somehow, though, he always thinks he takes great care of me when I am sick.
I'm feeling okay, perhaps not top notch. Hoping I just didn't sleep well last night and will feel top drawer once I get some coffee in me and step into the cold, cloudy world to feed the cute little animals.

Ahhhh, I thought it was because you were worried about the horses in the barn......
These used to sell in the stores and catalogs for $20-30 a few years ago. We were the biggest seller for the massive Southwest Indian Foundation's catalog.
I sold them on ebay for $14.99-17.99 (XXL) + shipping as you can see from my feedback.
I think $10 plus shipping would be fine for you all. I just don't want Imagine to get uncomfortable with me so trying to be respectful of their sub-forum. Maybe I should offer to bribe her with one...lol.
Ok the RLD (see avatar) just woke me up from a sound sleep to inform me the coffee was brewed and he wanted outside right now! So having my first cup. For times sake, I am going to use the last inventory I have on file which should be pretty accurate and let you all know what I have via pm's with pics of the other colors. Then, when you let me know what size & color you want, I will grab it out of the box to confirm and set it aside.
Of course you know that you've got me drooling right!?!Up until now, vape equipment had my undivided attention... until now !
I already sent you one pm.... MUST have cat and I LOVE all of those Native American designs, especially the kachinas...
I was thinking of offering the other designs I have, some with namedrops some without, in groups pretty cheap. I can send you another pm separately.

I don't want to be rude, but you know you can't post in this thread until you have read every post in ALL 2189 pages right? Didn't anyone tell you?
See you in April........just kidding.
Welcome aboard NatashaR!

You've done it now Awsum, I have to share Trooper's story. Trooper was raised by my friend Liz who was over Foal Train. At that time she also had a Perchie who had inflammation in his hocks and when Dino was healed I was to go to Mobile and get him for strengthening.
I get to Mobile to get Dino and Liz says "Take Trooper to PLEASE take Trooper". About this time we heard the biggest commotion,Trooper was chasing the barn help and he was only a yearling. Liz was stressed and had like 15 foals that were really sick so I took him. As we were leaving Liz says,'Raynes don't play into Trooper he could win an Oscar".
I got the horses home turned Trooper in with Dino and my other geldings. A couple of days later I caught Lance horse) running the crap out of Trooper and before I could get to them Lance had him cornered in their barn biting and kicking the crap out of this poor yearling baby. Lance has never acted that way towards another horse and I was furious for Trooper was so meek. The poor little guy.
Well I moved him,checked him over,called Liz and all she says is "Hooray for Lance,Trooper needed it".
The mares I moved Trooper in with doted on him, he was their "baby". Then I got to noticing bite marks on their ears,all but Trooper had them. So I camped out in the pasture a few nights and found out every time they took a bite of hay Trooper was nipping their ears.
Still whenever I was around he was the shy,sweet little gelding.
I wasn't too happy to find out that I had been duped by Trooper so I took him in the round pen. That's when Trooper showed his true colors. He came running at me rearing and I popped him on the legs backing him down. (If this had not been a home grown foal I would have never done that,but he needed some manners and he wasn't scared he was MAD) After this temper tantrum was headed off I
turned him out in a paddock with my younger draft horses. Darby took him under his hooves,I guess Darbs felt sorry for Trooper b/c the other horses couldn't stand him. I just ignored Trooper. If Trooper came up to be petted I didn't pet him and oh he could look so forlorn he'd go off by himself hanging his head as if he the whole world had turned his back on him.
This went on for several months. Everyday he would come down to the round pen and watch me work the horses and he would stay there until I was finished. This one day,I was totally concentrated on the horse I was training and as I turned Trooper was standing beside me. He had let himself in. I let the other horse back into the paddock and as I closed the gate Trooper was at the far side standing quietly,I pointed he took off walking then trotting,stepped forward he turned,raised my hand he stopped. Told him to come he did,said back he did. Just as if he had been trained for yrs.!!
I called Liz and asked her if she had been working with him her reply was "You have GOT to be kidding,the only thing I worked at was not killing him !!" When I stepped out the door Trooper had unlocked both round pen gates and all the five horses in that pasture was in my front yard.!!! I was NOT amused but I did and do appreciate his intelligence.
After my accident someone would feed and I would get the empty feed buckets. That in itself was a chore when I would drop one, Trooper would undo his stall door and come help.He'd pick them up for me. Its not something he was trained to do,he just knew I needed help.
He is still very much the Houdini,can still be the king of horse drama,his favorite thing is to make my husband scale the stalls.Thanks to Darby though teaching him horse manners Trooper has turned out to be all in all a little rascally prince.
We have a neighbor who wanted Trooper I don't care for her attitude she's a snob but she takes excellent care of her horses. She came by to look at him and brought her trailer. I'd gone to the barn to get Troop's halter and he had put her in the trailer and closed the door with her in there and was pawing the trailer door. So Trooper will stay here unless he finds that person that he loves more than me.

Awwww. What a nice story. I'm glad how it turned out....that you kept him. He does sound pretty smart!
Not a joke really. When men get even a slight temp, they are dyin, moaning and can't lift their heads from the pillow and everything has to be taken to them!! Women have more of a tendency to continue working through a raging temperature, doing housework, cooking etc. and will not say a word about not feeling well.

Funny you posted that video, Awsum. Wiseguy got out of his pen this morning.
I didn't latch the gate when I went into the pen and the wind blew the gate open. Wiseguy said "Now's my chance." He trotted right on outta there. First stop was the hay shed. The doors are closed but there are tasty crumbs by the door. I walk over with the halter and lead rope so he runs back to the pen.
I calmly walk towards the pen and he runs back out again, kicking up his heels and having a good ole time.
I lock the dogs up and grab a carrot.
He snorts at the carrot like it is a dangerous weapon and runs.
We do that several times with assorted head tossing and wild eyed looks and a couple of bucks thrown in for good measure. Nothing too wild just feeling good about getting out and running.
The last time he arcs out into the back area, makes a big loop, gallops by the propane tank and up the driveway. He zooms around the hay shed and back to his pen.
As soon as I get close he comes out the gate again but I have him cornered now
He gets into the pen and I jog over and close the gate. It is a win for the owner in only 15 minutes.
Yeah! And he had a hell of a good time while it lasted.
Tail, I saw your post yesterday....wasn't able to get on and comment. I'm impressed.
Here's my first creations......next to yours they kind of match my "barbie hat".
So add to list: Brown bottles to put e-juice in, new funnel (not barbie hat size), syringe w/needle....and maybe I should get a label maker....that looks cool.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!! Raynes, that is such a beautiful and FUNNY story.
Trooper sounds like one in a million and my kind of horse!
I don't see how you would be able to give him up.
Lizzie,
I got a real "hoot" out of imagining you chasing Wiseguy around and around, cute story, well told. I think he knows you well enough that he can play around and get some exercise at the same time.
I am also glad everyone was not offended by my repost of "darkhood's" fake rant. When I see all of the posts showing the Caravella's, ProVari's, Orions, Poldiacs, Geminis, VMaxs and Kir Fanis Tanks I think of the thousands of dollars being spent on devices that essentially all do the same thing: Produce Vapor! Yes, they are quite shiney and nice looking, but so is my VAMO, and so are the chrome X2s. It is not that I could not afford one of them, the opposite is true, however I just think I am too conservative to pay more than is necessary to provide a good vape experience. Now my rant is over I guess. Lord, Keep your arm around my sholder and your hand over my mouth and my hands off of this keyboard.

Oh yea,after he let the horses out of the pasture via the round pen he comes up to me as if to say,"Thank goodness your back its scary out here". "I don't know what happened".
I paid dearly for trying to find him a special person. For a month I had to hand feed him to get him to eat. I'm bad I still get a good laugh when I think about him putting my neighbor in the horse trailer. She told me I needed to learn how to "control" my horses. Control? Heck he wasn't with me I'd gone to get his halter. That was when I really cracked up. It wouldn't have suprised me if Trooper hadn't figured out how to open the truck door and knocked her truck out of gear, he may have if he could have got the trailer door latched.
This has been the best investment that I've made so far. I could not believe how clean my mega dual coil cartomizers are now and so fast. In one, the filler was a very dark yellow from many refills of VD's Buttery Nipple. Now the filler is bright white like new again. I have them drying upside down now with some paper towel inserted as Rabbit suggested. Will give an update after they have thoroughly dried and refilled again.
Also on another note, I just got and currently using the new VapeOnly BCC tank that has a flat whistle tip... This thing is amazing and super easy to fill because the tank is wide. It's 510 thread so I have it on an ego twist. After the first couple of priming hits, the flavor and vapor is out of this world. Just love it.
