90210...seriously?

I'm not gonna lie either, but well, my kiddo's middle name is "Dylan" and it is MOSTLY for the poet (no lie) but there was a rebellious young rich kid on that show, I think his name was Dillon though.

I think that name was super popular in a cohort of youths who watched 90210. I'm trying to think if there were any worse ones around that time.

I have also been known to watch "America's Top Model" and to enjoy it immensely, mainly the way like, Tyra would um torment her contestants and like, the early years when all Tyra's Misfits were on the panel, they included Janice Dickerson is I think her name, and she is ONE unpleasant human I think they had to kick her off for calling certain contestants things like "Hogs," and oh boy her little misfit "Jay" who coached the models and the black dude who did runway walk coaching. :lol::lol::lol:

I had to stop for a while, because my 13 year old adolescent said "Tyra Banks has charisma."

I became really frightened. I was like, "Oh GOD no, I have like ruined my son's life forever even though I tried to hide ALL my BP symptoms from him. I was gonna call my book "Perdonare" which is a lovely Latin root word for forgiveness, the best definition I found being, "Giving all, bowing before, holding nothing back." Maybe I should call it "Passing for Euthymic" it's more accurate, LOL.

But in any case I was like "OMG I HAVE FAILED AS A PARENT." I told him, "That's not charisma that is a boob job and several personality disorders."

Fortunately so far my kid, he adores the runts of the litters but like also knows when it is too much.

At this point, I'm like find someone, anyone only LOL I think it's hard right now. Maybe I should buy and send him the bio suit.

Okay no more. The only way this relates to conora virus is I am raving a bit.

    Some companies are now working. But are harder to make sales now with all this restrictions...

    Companies can take orders as usual it's just the shipping that slowing things down at the moment.
    All companies will take your money without a problem just be prepared to wait for your vape mail;)

    Well I finally got both Orders from FT- received one on 4/29 and the other more expensive Order (that had my EHPro, Drop - In coils, and pre - wound Coils) today!!!:banana:
    They both went thru Chicago but after that, they went all over the place until I got them.
    I was Tracking it once they left Chicago and was thinking 'what in the devil is it doing there', lol.
    Guess it took the CV Route through the Postal System - everything is goofed up some because of this Thing.
    I'm shocked that all of the Items in the Packet I got today arrived intact because the Package was open a bit on the bottom, which doesn't surprise me what with the way FT tends to stuff Items to capacity in the Envelope and how long these Packages were Out In the Wild.
    The hole was just big enough for stuff to start falling out but I received it with everything that I ordered :thumb:
    I guess as it went along through the System, if stuff started slipping out whoever was handling it just stuffed the Contents back in, lol.
    I was wondering why USPS didn't just tape it but then there is probably a Prohibition against that (which I understand, actually).
    I don't care what anyone says - the USPS is ahhhhmazing :thumbs:
    Through Rain, Sleet, Snow, Dark of Night AND Pandemics :wub:

    I am still waiting on a FT package that was shipped in late March and has been stuck at “Origin Post is preparing shipment” since April 4. The wait is getting very frustrating about now!
    I know it is frustrating as all get out - the Orders that I got today and on the 4/29 I had ordered on 3/16 and 3/12 respectively - you must have ordered a bit after me right in the middle of their shutting down over there and our Packages got caught in the Twilight Zone.
    Hopefully you will be getting your stuff soon - I imagine there are a pile of Packages from there they are trying to wade through and get caught up on.
    My Packages were at "Origin Post is preparing Shipment" for the longest time (I guestimate nearly 1 1/2 Months) and then all of a sudden Tracking showed that it turned up at the Chicago ISC - then it was there for a few Days then it started going here and there but they finally got to me.
    Don't know if you are in the U.S. but if so, hang in there, just keep checking the Tracking - eventually it should show up - its just a bit slow going right now.

    Not an order from China and not a vape order, but the USPS in Ft Worth sat on my package of medications for a week. I finally got them today. I was without my antidepressants since this weekend. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't have vaped.

    ouch,sorry to hear that man.
    And i totally understand,back then when i had my inhaler addiction (yeah i know sounds weird,addicted to Ventolin hehe).

    Sometimes i would lose it and there wasn't a pharmacy open or close by and yeah the feeling of not having a med you need is right on barbaric.

    Hope it doesn't happen to you again,or at least maybe you got a way to keep a ''private stash'' in case for emergencies,you never now.

    cheers

    Thank you. Yes, I'm in Texas and it sounds like I did order shortly after you did. I am glad you finally got your order!

    Yeah, I thought mine was moving once it got out of "Origin Post is...."
    But now it's back in same status. Don't think I've ever seen that, but I usually don't pay much attention until about a month. This item was ordered in Feb., and was out of stock everywhere so I waited. Now, I kinda want it to get here.

    They SURE will tape up your package if customs riffles through it, they will tape it up like a dang CRIME scene.

    Thank you for reminding me I need to get ON my doc and my dang mail order pharmacy I need my meds and I need them soon. I might even pay five bucks extra to get them quicker just in case, that is how much I need a couple.

    Although most insurance companies will let you order a 30 day supply if you run out before the meds arrive. Mine does. It is rather understanding.
