Me too, Deb. . . years and years of struggling with various addictions and I can tell you that there is a reason that quitting smoking was the last to go for me. Without vaping, though, I never would have been able to quit. The truth is that I wouldn't have quit smoking at all had I not been scared out of my mind when I had a massive heart attack in September. I thought that I was "too young" to have a heart attack (I'm 44). I'm a few pounds overweight, but not dramatically. Really the only risk factor I had was my 2-3 pack-a-day cigarette habit. Nothing like a major health crisis to motivate.
All of that said, I completely understand why quitting completely is a struggle for some people. God, I'd be smoking right now if I wasn't concerned that I might not live to see 50! Uncle alluded this, but aside from the smoke itself, I liked the process and ritual of smoking.
At the risk of sounding like an AA meeting, one of the cliches that is heard a lot at 12-step groups is appropriate: "Progress, not perfection." Honestly, I think that's a pretty good philosophy for life in general!

#5 Ya, I like waking up today saying Good morning, God, instead of Good God, it's morning

Yes, and I've read a few times that some 510 or ego toppers don't make good contact and you have to use an adapter or pull the pin on the topper. Mine work fine. I've read about the legendary battery life on the MVPs. It's one of the reasons I've wanted one.
4- Thanks liblue, I try to be, one moment I do what I have to do in combat, the next I am helping kids that were hit in the initial attack while shielding them using myself and my armor.. I have lead an interesting life, and I am starting a new chapter.
Well bird is now at the vet getting a check up before going to the wildlife rehab folks.
#3 I'm keeping this avatar for a bit, but I did change my profile picture from a flower to a pic of me chainsawing. Manly enough fer ya'?
I took a few pics and spent the last hour uploading to the bucket. As promised:
The flat top 18650 gives you an idea of the size. The adjustment buttons, window display, and the micro USB charge port are part of the board, it made cutting the holes very challenging. It looks good from ~5 feet. Protank V1 with Aerotank base filled with Vape Tree Dragon's Claw.
Just what I was thinking.
I have every episode. Everything you can buy on DVD and the recent ones on the DVR until they are released. I am a fan.

5- Might have in the summer, winter and spring they are berry and fruit eating birds for the most part. Had a pet raven 20+ years ago that I fed caned cat food, soft boiled eggs and greens to until it was able to be released back into the wild. She came to my house for years often with it's off spring
. Also had squirrels that I could call and feed peanuts with my hands as they climbed up me. Funny because I would go much deeper into the woods to shoot some to eat as well. I have never had an issue separating pets from food, and have raised many animals to eat, and hope to be fully self sustaining in Maine.
Me and the family get just as much enjoyment just watching deer in the wild, or in the woods near the house as we do from hunting them, and having them for dinner, breakfast and lunch.
Wild boar on the other hand are generally KOS (kill on sight) due to them being an invasive species that is also wonderful on the dinner table, as well as a great harm to humans, pets, and the ecosystem.
#4 Another pic of what I've been up to lately, while upholding my New Year's resolution of not buying mods until I make a few myself. Atty's and modifying mods are exempt.

Wow, Schnarph! That split Vamo looks so cool. I don't know how you did it, but it's very creative.

#5 The Vamo modification is done with a "Split kit". I didn't make it, I just put it together. I would need some expensive drill bits to pull that off, more likely a lathe.
I'll hold off on more pics of toys for now.
Here's a funny one I took at my last job, a non-customer gave this note to me. I think the individual was deaf, I worked near the school for the deaf so this was common. Please pardon the picture quality.
"I need a doctor and a Dr."

I'm pretty sure Dr. Pepper doesn't have a degree in psychiatry.
