This will probably start lolady on a new blog but I read this and its True...and I figured we all need a good laugh today...
In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day."
The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment."
He was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right.. We didn't have the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But that old lady is right; we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a paper cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But we didn't have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?
Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-... young person.
I hate those chain mail crap but this was hillarious...its also why my mom only has my toss mail addy...she doesn't understand how she gets all her viruses...well stop clicking all the links your friends send ya...lol

Doesn't change my recommendation to get a charger at MadVapes. The charger I got there handles 10440 to 18650 and everything in between.
Dripping is the best vape you can get, it just takes time to find your swing of things. A day or two in, and you'll have it down to a science. But I vape massive amounts daily, so I stick to lr cartos or lr cylinder atties. Saphires are working ok so far, but not QUITE as good as lr boges. I love their look though. But anyhow, if I was only using 1-2 ml a day, I might be a dripper, and I was for a short time. 
nope not differing with your recommendation of where to buy a charger...just clarifying her confusion...initially I was suggesting powergenix batteries and their charger as NiZN need a special charger...
You might actually like this mod nate...it is easily hidden in a woman's hand let alone a man's...its zippo lighter sized...
Hi chief...hows the kids...keeping ya busy...
I hadn't really thought about it, but that's all true! I also remember that every house didn't have a washing machine - there was a functionary called The Laundry Man who came twice a week and took away all the dirty clothes - household linens, towels, bedclothes - everything but underpants and stockings - and brought back the clean ones, wrapped up in brown paper.I still have a handful of ancient pillowcases and towels, the corners embroidered by my grandmother in red cotton thread with my grandfather's initials.
He had been in Heaven for decades by the time I was born, but until the dawn of Modern Today ( or as you may have heard it called in history books, the 1950s) took The Laundry Man away, she marked every single thing with the name of the only man she ever loved - down to the lowliest dishrag, which back then, would be kept for years and years - and which today we buy at the dollar store and use to wash cars when they get dirty, and then throw them away!
And oh! I did finally get around to hosing off a couple more of the cartomizer blogrants, so they are up, and also a Breaking News one to tell of Vapian's Wonderful Invention, and the long-awaited discovery of Colorful Cartomizer Hats!
I also added a "quitsmoking" tag to a mess of the blogrants. Was that the right text string to use for that "SEO" stuff Magnus and I think, Randy, were trying to explain to us?

Weren't me, I can barely spell SEO.
Oh and can one of you knowledgeable people please tell me if this solar powered USB charger has the correct number of electricity globules to charge KR808d-1 wireless e-cigarettes in the event of an Unscheduled Zombie Attack?
Here's what it says if you're in a hurry

It's Hobotivo, (the last part comes from the TiVo DVR which I used to be involved in hacking), but it doesn't matter. The shipment has cleared customs so hopefully I'll get the clearo's tomorrow.
Cheers
It would work for charging batteries, but not for powering a passthru. However, the link you gave shows it to be currently unavailable.
Here I am again..so behind! I hope you are feeling better! Oral surgery just sucks. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Welcome back Nate. I'll look and see. I located one but I can still comparison shop.
Dripping is the best vape you can get, it just takes time to find your swing of things. A day or two in, and you'll have it down to a science. But I vape massive amounts daily, so I stick to lr cartos or lr cylinder atties. Saphires are working ok so far, but not QUITE as good as lr boges. I love their look though. But anyhow, if I was only using 1-2 ml a day, I might be a dripper, and I was for a short time.
Ohhh BC you just don't understanhd. I started out dripping. My 1st set up I had no carts or cartos, after a couple weeks I caved and moved to cartos.
Ok now I'm getting excited a cute tiny vv mod... that will be sooo cool.
Ahhhh tivo now I have a reference point to help me remember thanks.
Yes, Yes, I DO understand that technical writing is DRY...hence my recommendation!!!
How wonderful you have some of the "earlier model" cig holders - wayyyy cool!!! Look at all your other goodies!! Very neat! I have found that if I take the 808XL and attach a mega carto - I can get 6" of pure delight and I can use it ALL DAY (LOL)!!! So, will wait for the mega-mega carto and the XXL 808 so I can perhaps vape AND type with it at the same time. If they would just make the LED tips..laser dots..well then I could add driving my dog crazy to the all at once version!
Anxiously awaiting your next blog!!!
An 808 Xl battery with a CE2 XL Cartomizer and a Drip tip is pretty dang long without an extra holder!
SEE??!!!!! We just hafta get to this and I don't think I have too far to go:
I haven't posted in here for a bit. I just wanted to pass on that e cig people can successfully quit. I didn't wean myself off (and have to agree with part of what the non smoking forum guys say about that). I quit smoking cigs almost 6 months ago. Aug 2 would be 6 months. I am now day 2 without vaping and the withdrawal symptoms are way less. I had a tough time last night at work for a few hours but today it bothers me even less.
I was eperiencing minor breathing issues and found more and more flavourings were making me cough. I vaped unflavoured for about 3 weeks to a month I guess (maybe longer?) and got bored of it so just stopped. I feel even better but now my pot belly is a bigger concern (I ran out of food 3 hrs into my shift last night LOL) and I am hungry earlier in the day than normal... nicotine is somewhat of an appetite suppressant

Since I like the 808xls - I did grab some G5's and so far I've had really good luck with them. Not had one leak or crack - the vape and taste is fabulous!! I like using it best on my pass-thru - then REALLY yummie. I have to keep it vertical at all times though - so it's a non-mobile clearo for me. I just stick it in my pencil holder when I'm not vaping on it! I only fill them about 75% and so far so good. I've been rotating the same 5 for about 2.5 weeks now...just refilling when they get low. Refill is super ez as the rubber cap pops out and an eye dropper will just bit down next to the center tube. I got these just to dink around with know they were not perfected yet...but LOVE the zero batting and being able to see when my juice is just about gone
I also started dripping about 2 weeks ago and LOVE IT. I got a RIVA 510 from Liberty Flights. I've been having a blast with it!!! It's kinda fun making smokers/non-smokers cough with it..lol. Then I tell them..yes, yes vaping is for SISSIES..NOT!
