A freaking statue! That is funny! all the searching and I never thought of a statue!!
yeah I know ....right ? :lol: .... a statue ?? :facepalm:
I kept thinking the whole time (& even considered posting & asking)
what was up ?... w/all the people guessing that the pic was of a mythological person ?
How could that be right ?? There was NO pictures of such persons around ? :lol: :lol:

I GUESS this one just flew straight over my head .... amazing how 54 people got it right :lol:
When in doubt ...go with the masses.

Oooops sorry , still trying to get past this :blink: it's just mindboggleing :blink:

But hey on a brighter note ....I get to go see Dwight Yoakam tomorrow night @ Winstar Casino !!
I'm not really a fan of country music ...but I can take some Rockabilly...
And he will probably be great to see in such a small venue & HEY there's SLOT MACHINES involved :headbang:

edit: after reading thu pg again :facepalm: Loveridden you need to learn how to DIY juice ! saves lots of $$

Congrats on your crazy amount of posts Ripple and I guess I'll whine about not winning the GG again in your honor :ohmy:

I can teach you DIY, Love, I've been doing it for a long time -- does that sound right at all?!??!?!?:lol::lol::lol::pervy:

That was complete and utter BS result and I'm a GG fanboy. There is no proof this dude ever lived so I rejected him out of hand even though it was a very obvious commercial tie-in, as it were. I had 4 years of Latin so I know this story all too wll, too, not sure what it has to do with smoke or vaping -- maybe lotus-eating or the evils of the siren song of a woman, but not a mod -- but I'm ...... right now as its another month, another GGTS lost, a refrain that has played out for me 16 times for those monthly contests alone, probably over 500 posts between all of them since last september.......boy can I waste time evidently!!! I have got to stop trying to compete, its draining me ever so slowly, I just want to win something big, a battle victory in a war that is going badly with the way things have been for a while.........:( Well, there's always next season, as my Grandmother said about her beloved Cubs -- which, of course, never won the series in her 88 years!!!:laugh:

Don't cry for me, Argentina, I just need to do it out loud sometimes to feel alive!!!!:toast:

I was wondering where you were ? & thought maybe you were "reeling" somewhere !!!!
I too have a vast knowledge of the ancient world ...& I guess that's WHY we discounted it .... :facepalm:

Oh well, surely there is a lesson here ? ....even tho it escapes me now.......

those contests are mind blowers.....

OT but hey we just had a 4.7 earthquake ....it was pretty cool :lol:

so Jeff (DH) was checking out back to see what was up...it shook the whole house ! I was standing in kitchen ...it shook all the glasses & bakers racks,everything clinking & clanging, the dining table sounded like it was jumping around banging on the floor ...very surreal.... Jeff was shining his light everywhere ,lookin' for the problem....it was loud. :lol:& it (the epicenter) was 47 miles away !!

That pic of FDR was sure close....wonder if our Greek friend....?
My mind sorta went there because the eyes and mouth look like no statue I've ever seen. But you can tell the original has a beard and a lot of hair, so FDR wasn't even a thought for me. I was banking on it being Billy Connolly.

I hated losing this one too . . . Especially given that I knew it could have been Odysses after I examined the photo with other pictures I found - but didn't post it right away (was going down the list I made for possibilities to entrer) :facepalm: . . . :(

But now just a thought and question - I know it was a tuff one - but he did say it was going to be different last month and even mentioned he might even use a woman's photo . . . :)

Didn't anyone see the long hair and the the eyes (very long lashes, gleeming, etc.) were cut and pasted into the photo ? ? ? ;)

Then there was also the fact that the lower lip was small & the teeth ? ;)

Its not a GG contest without a controversy and hurt feelings, its always something. I keep trying since not every vendor gives away a $250 mod monthly!!!!LOL I do love using the damned things, too........even though the whole thing with contests frustrates me so!!! :)
I keep trying because I will never be able to afford one of those beauties...or any of the high quality mods for that fact. But like you said, not every vendor gives one away every month, so he can make whatever ruling he wants and still be pretty damn cool. Let's see the guys at Nhaler, Provape, or Notcigs keep up with that. :2c:

I bolded 2 areas of your post to comment on those lol

First LOL OMG
I don't think a man can teach a woman to diy LOL
Only another woman ;)

Secondly, in all SERIOUSNESS LOL -
I am a little nervous about trying to make my own e-juices...what if I stink at it? I'm not sure I can afford that lol
What would start-up cost? Just a little leery about it lol

Thirdly,
Yeah I totally know what you mean about it draining you and you want to win something big too! lol so many prizes being given out and I see over and over and over I'm not winning them!! It sucks!! And a lot of ppl are repeat winners. It just gets so frustrating sometimes!! Plus I would love to have something really cool like a cool mod that I could never afford otherwise. This is my only way of even having a chance of owning one. But boy some of these contests are just way too much. I know in order to have a life I can't enter them all. And in order to not have a massive migrane I can't puzzle over some of them either lol.

I wouldn't let a little fear stop you from trying DIY. It's really not that hard. All you need is unflavored nic juice, flavoring, VG and/or PG and water or vodka to dilute if you want to. The nic juice is the most expensive of the ingredients and it isn't that bad. There are lots of ejuice calculators out there to tell you how much of everything to use. You start with 3 or 5ml sample batches and if you don't like it you can dump it and try again or add something to it to help make it vapable. It's easy and fun. Sometimes frustrating but it's make you feel really good when you finally get the taste you're looking for. Give it a try.
