You're escalating.

No, I'm oceloting.

No, I'm oceloting.

Is that like oscillating?
Ocel-ating...?
:backs out of room:
:bumps into table: Oh, excuse me.

It might be, but I haven't had enough wine yet.

If that's actual size, it's probably about 100ml. Even with that coupon, that's way more than I want to spend. If you're viewing with a smartphone, it's a huge ripoff. Probably only 5ml.

Smoking was a communal activity. It was transformed into a furtive or escape behavior. Something to be done apart from others. And we create patterns for that. Habituation if you will. Programmed interruption of our routines and thought processes…Oh, I have to go…It's like walkin' around with a ticking time bomb albeit a small one. But one that could explode in some distracting and sometimes dramatic ways…like when the pack wasn't where you put it. Good luck.

When faced with a problem, I miss being able to say, "I need to go have a cigarette and think about that." It was something people accepted. Tell them you need to go have a vape and they look at you like you're from Mars.

Seems like old times all up in here! Hello from Flip and Slip!
We're still vaping away so I guess I need to catch up with the latest FDA aka BT shenanigans, eh?

Hey there! I've seen you "liked" some of my posts, but I didn't see you on the thread. How are things in the House of Pancake?

ETA: Oops! I see that you already said how you are, sort of. Anyway, give my love to the slippered one.

Hey kitty! Things are pretty good except our fridge croaked and we lost all our food today. How's things at the ranch?

EEWWW! My fridge croaked too. Only the bottom is staying cold.

The ranch is much smaller. Smaller than it's ever been. I'm down to one dog, one cat and one goat. I'm looking around for another goat, since they get lonely by themselves. I was going to rehome him, but then I realized I would have to deal with all the weeds.

Lots of love to you too.

I had something for this.

National Review's been our friend in the vape fight. This one's from Rich Lowry.

FDA vaping regulations misguided

Down through all the millennia that mankind has smoked tobacco, no one would have believed (or even imagined) that a battery-powered contraption with no tobacco would one day be considered a tobacco product.

It is a strange country that is simultaneously moving to legalize marijuana and to crack down on vaping. But here we are.

The FDA is evidently operating on the basis of a regulator’s reverse Hippocratic oath: First, do harm to a burgeoning industry — then hope to find some evidentiary justification for it at some later date.

The U.S. is rejecting that common-sense approach to harm reduction. It is against vaping no matter how safe it is or how many people it might coax into giving up smoking.

The famous line attributed to Mark Twain is that nothing is as easy as quitting smoking — he’s done it thousands of times. Of course, Twain didn’t have the option of vaping. If the FDA has anything to say about it, neither will anyone else.

Canada is full of mysteries. For example, how did the same country that gave us Rush also give us Justin Bieber? WTH?

Yeah sorry about the beiber thing, and yw for RUSH.

Thank you for the Arrogant Worms too.

 

[Stephuhnator]

What in the world are Arrogant Worms?
Canada has great maple syrup, they can keep the Beiber.

Poor wittle lonely goat...

 

[Whosback]

No they should keep Beiber here. Just incase we move north.

Was Stan Rogers from Canada?

They're a Canadian comedy/singing group. They are really nice. I wrote to them about using one of their songs in a video and they wrote back and said was okay.

I had to Google him. I'm not sure I want to hear his music. It is music, right?
