No... lolady was never a member of QSMB (AFAIK).

If lolady was a member of the QSMB it would have been a WHOLE different forum, let me tell ya!

btw Curvy we missed you on here!

 

[phonedude]

how many "day" people do we have here (by choice or coerced by society). it got quiet!

Now that I'm back home I qualify as a "day" and "night" person. LOL

Had a great time. Always good to be "Home" and then to get back "Home." My sister had a total knee replacement and is doing good. She's not a real happy camper yet but I think it's going well.

Mom didn't get around to making strawberry shortcake but she made a killer pot roast. So I'm fat and happy.

Hope erebody's doing good. Let the good times roll.

Hi Guys,
As I mentioned some time back I was checking with the owner of my site to see how she feels about you guys coming over to my site for support and to give other ecig users advice. This is what she just said to me...

they seem a very friendly bunch to me. I say invite them here.

Kat has already joined and I've had ongoing discussions with her about this, so you may check with her if you like.
My site is...No Smoking Forum • Index page The owner said she is also willing to open a sub forum for you. Hope to see you there.

 

[Curvychic]

I missed you all too!!! Thought about ya'll and peeked in every now and then. I just needed a vacation from everything for a bit. I'm trying to juggle my girls, school work, house work, crazy neighbors, etc.... LOL

So, I was trying to do a bit of catching up and it looks like one minute things we're calming down and now they're all crazy again? Or have things calmed back down? I'm telling ya, who needs rollcoasters when you've got drama right? LOL

Before I went on my little break, I was talking with a member from QSMB. She knew I was using an ecig, and she also understood that I'm trying to cut back my nic to zero. She was really nice and supportive in the PMs, but some of her most recent posts on QSMB seem to be filled with hatred and disgust. I'm so confused. I also read where they said that we're hiding? Ummm....isn't this a public forum for viewing or am I mistaken? If anyone wants to hide, there's private messaging and emails and phones and stuff. Anyhoo, I'm not going to get restressed out by all this crazy madness. I just want to hang out with my friends here and maybe (if things ever calm down) post support over there.

You all that are still getting attacked or yelled at or whatever are very brave, strong individuals!! I just don't think I have it in me anymore to take a beating for just wanting to help others and get help myself....I'm just mentally drained...

So, what's everyone doing this beautiful Tuesday? I'm waiting to go pick up my car from the repair shop....

Hi Gary,

Nice to see you home and well fed.

So, are you guys going to go check out the other board that XBB mentioned?

I probably will. I don't go to QSMB anymore so I have a little extra forum time. LOL

So far just catching up here. I always like to welcome new people to the New Members area. I always hope my sig line will give them some encouragement. And catch up on some new threads.

But I'm sure in the next day or so I will go see what's up there. I'm sure it won't be anything like that other disaster.

While I appreciate the invitation from XBB, ECF has me busy enough as it is!

I might check in on it Kat, but if I catch even a whiff of the nicodemon or "junkie thinking" there, I'm turning around and getting outta there as quick as I can.

 

[Katmandu]

And just so everyone knows when they go there - XBB is Wolfman.

He used to be on QSMB, hence his name XBB - Ex Bicker Board.

NSF is a much brighter and more supportive forum - they are pretty open minded - definitely nicer!

I'm going to hang out there and do what I can to help out with ecig questions and offer my support to those who need it.

But, ECF is my home and my main hang out!

No worries Sallie - I'd be right behind you!

Why do I get the feeling operations against the Q-crowd have moved from active combat missions through peace keeping into covert political operations.

I shouldn't say feeling.. that's exactly the progression of the thread. The Evil Genius committee approves! -Magnus, Supreme Emperor of Evil Genius Committee

I went over and read your introduction thread. What a difference! I'll be signing up and saying hello in a bit.

 

[phonedude]

Have joined and briefly looked around. I will have more time to look around there a little later. After dishes and laundry and ......

LOL

 

[Randyrtx]

Not sure how to word my introduction so it doesn't seem like an invasion of "e-cig people".

Thanks for the heads up. I joined.

Randy if you keep it a little low key at first and not get into specifics about what kind of ecig and where you bought it, you should be okay.

Just tell them who you are, what you are using to quit, and why you've come to that board.

I'm embarrassed to say that when I wrote my introduction I was waxing philosophical and it turned into more of a here's my life story instead of an introduction. But it is what it is. **shrugs**

Yes! So exactly!

Diane, you and your mom have both been very much in my heart since your story found its way to my monitor, so I'll just speak to you here and trust that it will find its way to yours.

Your mom and I have some things in common.

We're both older, we're both living with some health "challenges" that have given us a keen appreciation of the value of being as comfortable as we can be, and we both smoke cigarettes.

I've just begun making the transition to e-cigarettes, but already I'm able to tell your mom, without reservation, that it can feel exactly the same.

She'll probably have to practice puffing, like I'm doing, to get it to feel exactly the same every puff, but I was getting some "exactly same" puffs a couple of minutes after I took mine out of the package!

In fact, it's SO much like smoking that it might be easier for her to think of the first stage of her transition not as "quitting smoking," but "changing brands."

That's because while it's possible, but not likely, that she'll find a flavor that tastes exactly like her tobacco cigarette, she WILL be able to duplicate the rest, and she WILL find flavors that she likes - some "tobacco-type" flavors - and probably, to her surprise, some not!

Even more astonishing, some will actually taste BETTER than her customary brand of tobacco cigarette!

When the wise people here told me I'd like some non-tobacco flavors right from the start, I didn't believe them, but here I sit, happily notsmoking a delicious cappuccino flavored e-cigarette!

This one doesn't have any nicotine at all, but the same flavor is available in a whole range of nicotine strengths - all the flavors are!

This will give her a lot of options and a lot of control, going forward.

If she wants to taper away the nicotine, she can do that at her own pace, concurrently with the transition to e-cigarettes, complete the switch first, or a combination, whatever she and her doctors decide.

If the "hand to mouth" habit is a major element of smoking for her, she can keep on notsmoking zero-nicotine e-cigarettes that taste like everything from banana cream pie to pipe tobacco to violets to - wait for it! - pizza!

Please let her know that she - and you - are in my prayers.

There are so many kind and knowledgeable people here who are thinking of her and want to help.

I'm just starting, so all I can do is share what it's like for me, I've been putting that in my blog, and if your mom wants it, anyone here can give you my email. I think they can see it in my profile. If they can't, they can PM me.

(I'd just put it here but I'm trying to hide from those programs that drag the internet to "harvest" addresses and send us all those advertisements for 100% Herbal Pen1$ Enlargement Software).

...lolady was never a member of QSMB...

He's right, CurvyChik. I didn't even know it existed till I saw it mentioned here.

Thanks for saying nice things about the blog!

Katmandu, you are very mischievous!
