I've seen references to a "vv." What is that?

The Buzz sounds real interesting, but my wife won't let me get one.

I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; then it was too late.

LMAO!!!!!! omg that's funny!

I'm kind of glad I'm new because I don't get the deal with volt levels and stuff yet (and at some point I don't think I should know or I'll never break even, LOL). Sounds interesting and looks pretty cool though!

I know some folks on this site think I've been blessed with a little bit of bs, but this is really a true story.

About two weeks ago my wife, two daughters and a sister-in-law were going to go to Tyler, Texas to go shopping and I was left in charge of three grandchildren ages 5, 6 and 7. Before the ladies left they helped me get car seats put in my extended cab pick-up in case the kids and I had an ice cream alert and had to go to town.

We have a big yard and a porch around three sides of the house and the kids had a good time playing and just being kids. Late in the afternoon we all decided to make that trip to town and on the way I stopped by a young friends house. They have two children about 6 and 7 so the five children were in his front yard playing and his place is on the paved road leading to town.

Well, its real late in the afternoon and a funeral procession goes by real slow and I noticed all the kids out near the road, but they were far enough back that they were okay.

A little later cars started going back from the funeral and one real fine car stopped along the road and a gentleman in a nice suit and tie got out and came over and gave each one of the children one of those silver dollars with a womans picture on it. I can't remember her name. Anyhow, he walks over to the porch where my friend and I were sitting and explained that it was his father who had passed away and he thought it was so nice that when the funeral procession drove by that all the children stopped playing and gave a hand salute. He said that he was very touched by this act of respect to his father and that whoever had raised these children had certainly done a fine job with them.

As he left I was just beaming because I know I was instrumental in these kids being so well raised.

The kids came over and were showing us their silver dollars and we all decided that some ice cream was just the thing to spend some of that money on.

But then I got a little curious and asked the kids about the hand salute when the funeral drove by.

My seven year old grandson said "ganddaddy, we weren't saluting ... the sun was in our eyes and we couldn't see good so we put our hands up over our eyes."

I guess this was maybe the one time in their lives that shielding their eyes from the sun earned them a dollar each.

What is stealth vaping? The way I stealth vape at work is to sneak into the ladies room, lock myself in a stall and.....well..vape. But if stealth vaping is something I could do at my desk - please tell!

Stealth vaping for me is heavy fast vaping but I could see where it could mean without being seen.

Hey Free, thanks for bumping this up. I have been chasing a 2 year old around for the past 8 days and have been so reminded of the fact that I am no spring chicken anymore!

LOL, she loves vaping but isn't into "forums." I gotta remember the "contest" idea. Brilliant!

She likes to go to places like the Dr. Oz site on her computer. But that's okay. He stated recently that two glasses of wine a day are good for a mans lungs. So I've been accepting my two big glasses of wine every evening like it was medicine. And I'm now a big fan of Dr. Oz!!!

Two glasses of red wine and Wyatt Earp. Life is soooo sweet!

Just got my second box in from the last Sale.
When she started to give me that hard look I said to my wife, "Ooohhhh look. They sent me a bonus box!"
I'm just so clever!

:lol::lol::lol: I have to remember to NEVER read any of your posts with Pepsi in my mouth. You get tired of Tyler, move to Vegas. You'd keep the house packed!:2cool:

Speaking of Vegas, I gotta tell you this (and I'm trying hard to keep all my stories confined to the Chit Chat Thread).

My wife and I were at our daughters house the other day and we were going from there to Tyler to get a few things. We invited our 12 year old granddaughter to go with us. Remember, this wonderful child was raised in "East Texas."

My wife has a big new Lincoln that has that Sirius radio in it.

My granddaughter declined and said she would rather not go, because we had to much CLASS for her.

My wife asked her what she meant by that and my granddaughter says "I don't like Elvis." (Who we listen to a lot on Sirius radio).

I guess East Texas is about the only place I've ever been where listening to Elvis is indicative of having "class!"

ROFL! The question is could Vegas handle you? :2cool: Be glad you didn't tell her she could listen to the stations she likes.
