Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Good morning Army
Had a bit of excitement last night. Our back neighbor, kitty corner to the right, has a rubber tree that has been resting some branches on the power line decided to arc, create a lovely light display and generate much noise. So for an hour we watched the power company assess the situation then back their truck onto the empty lot next to us.
I was impressed with how well this single worker maneuvered that bucket lift.
Kinda pisses me off though. 2.5 weeks ago we notified the power company that there was some arcing due to the rain weighing the branches down to the wires. They left an information sheet on our door saying that they were going to come out and trim the trees on our line in the next 2 weeks.
A little late I would say.
I first woke to the sounds of the neighbor yelling. Thought they were having another fight. Got quiet for a minute then I heard the noise electricity and branches rubbing together make. About the time I got to the sliding doors....all hell broke loose. QUITE the light show. I admit to a quick scream.
I hope the rest of the tree gets taken down. The neighbors had hired people to do it but they stopped at the last two big sections because they got quite the jolt at one point.
We will be cleaning the debris out of our yard today. Oh and resetting a few clocks.
Interesting night for sure.

Well i'm glad she still has her spunk! My friend here has been through a lot of chemo for ovarian cancer that has metastasized and her nail beds get really tender, so just picking things up like a pen hurts her. It has gone away when the chemo stops but it's very painful. Hope your wife is close to done and can get some relief soon.
Sam, i'm so sorry you're having a string of grief events. Hang in there and just take it one day at a time. 
Wow Robin! That's a lot of commotion!
I stayed up way too late digging thru the archives missing Chak. Gosh he was funny and kind! Found a few of his mile long multi quote posts that made me smile. And back then everyone was using Vivi Novas and it was funny to read about that. So much has changed.
However, 5am came really fast and it's back to reality for me. I'm off to work shortly. Hope everyone has a lovely day!

BK, you and your wife are in a tough situation. I must've missed the part where you said it was stage 3 until yesterday. I found these articles that may be helpful. I think taking probiotics is helpful. I am going to write some of this stuff down for future reference. This does not replace modern treatments. But it does have some good ideas you may want to use in combination. Talk to your doctor first.

Just to tell everyone where I'm at right now emotionally.. and why I'm not posting here so much.
Without Chris, I don't know but I feel a little like I don't belong. I'm not saying this for people to say "Oh no you do", but he really did make me feel a part and that I belonged. So I'm feeling a little like an outsider looking in again.
Also, coming back to this thread makes me want to cry, as I miss him and this thread reminds me of him.. it's not right him not here posting.
Also, his death is making me look at my husband differently. It's weird, and perhaps very selfish.. but Chris died on my husband's birthday. My husband just turned 56 (yes, he's a little older than me) and I'm suddenly scared to death that my husband will die and leave me all alone.
My husband helps me so much, that it's to the level I don't know what I'd do without him..
Anyway, I can't type more without crying, well, I'm already crying so I can't type more without breaking down.. I can't help this terror of losing my husband, he is so close in age to Chris.
But anyway, I'm not posting much and that's why.
Love you all.. sorry I'm not me right now.

I think what you are going through is understandable, Opinionated. You are one of us now, so please don't feel like you don't belong. We are all sad about Chak, and there isn't the usual chatter going on because of it. Talking with those who knew and loved Chak is helpful. We can lose anyone at anytime, and that thought is scary. You don't have to be old to die. Most of us here are right about the same age as Chak. So it probably reminds all of us that life is precious, and it can go in the blink of an eye. Usually we have forewarning of this, but not always. It is okay to grieve. We are all trying to handle this in our own way.
You kind of have the female namesake of Christopher.
A big part of the grief in losing a close friend like Chris is the feeling of helplessness. What do we say? What do we do? Hard to find answers. I certainly don't have them. But in this time of grief there are things we can do and things Chris would encourage us to do. Things we can do to shape our lives for the better that we can take from Chris' life. In your case, you can tell your husband what you told us. Let him know what he means to you and your fears. But then also turn it into action. If he's anything like the average man (or me) he could probably do more to improve his health...whether that means healthier living or just regular checkups at the doctor. I pay $575 a month for health insurance and I have no intention of ever using it. Now how stupid is that? I'm just a stubborn, foolish man who has that typical male hangup about going to see doctors. I haven't got a clue what my blood pressure is, blood sugar, cholesterol, or any of the vitals that help prevent lethal diseases or maladies. If there is any one thing I can do about Chris' passing it is to go get a checkup. And in typical idiot man-fashion I don't even know how to go about it. I've always said I'm just a stupid man. This proves it. Fortunately for me I have a retired nurse friend (seen it all, done it all) and I will be talking to her about the right path.
So whilst you feel helpless, perhaps you can be your husband's angel. Look over him and be certain he is doing the right things to be as healthy as he can be. None of us mere mortals can predict his last day. But maybe we can delay it just a bit.
Well...y'all need a laugh and you can have it at my expense...
I thought I'd message my step son and see how far he was from Bangkok, to see if he could take flowers from the HHV Army.
( I'm just sooo sweet ya know...)
Well good grief...he lives in Taiwan not Thailand.
I feel like such a ding dong !

If I could wrap my arms around you!
I think some of us at one time or another felt like we were just looking in and not quite part of the group. Oh lord I did at one time. Sometimes I still do... that's not on anyone here, just my insecurities raising their stupid little heads.
I do treasure you and everyone here. If you disappear I will worry. I know you have some major crap going on in your health. God I so wish I could help you as you've helped me on my new journey.
I imagine you are feeling the same way I felt when we lost our first, Z Ghost. That absolutely devastated me. Not that each one hasn't knocked me for a loop. They have. That first one though...so freakin shocking.
We feel like we are all going to be around until we get tired of posting on the forum and just quietly leave. When real life smacks you in the face... You then realize that these people you've been talking with, laughing with,
flirting with, lending a shoulder and helping along with whatever we can... They really ARE friends. And they do die! It ... sucks and it makes all realize that you all really are human. Real people not just typed words. Truly friends. Chak had a special gift of feeling and knowing that there are real people behind the keyboard. We all felt like he really got us from the very first welcome from him.
None of us can take his place in that.
It probably didn't help with us reminiscing about way back when.
I just wish I could convey how much you DO belong here.
It's truly the thought that counts in this case.Well...y'all need a laugh and you can have it at my expense...

Soooooo did your nephew have to tell you it was a different country or did you manage to figure it out before opening mouth and inserting foot?
BWAHAHAHAHA
Man, those were the days . . . or maybe not. I've still got a bunch of my old Vivi Novas and atomizers for them that I've been hanging onto in case of the Vapocalypse. I hope I never have to use them.
I'm getting ready to clean out my old vape box. I'm going to be tossing all those Novas I have. I have plenty kayfuns stocked up and a few kabuki for those times that I know will happen when I just need to drop a new coil in without having to rebuild anything.
I think that there will be people around to help others should it come to that. Vapers are truly a tight community. We help each other. That's what we do!
Hey... i'm so sorry you're feeling out of sorts and disconnected and vulnerable and all those other emotions. I've been there myself, feeling like an on looker more than a par-taker. After Lori reached out and told me about Chris I was pretty disgusted with myself that I let some personal matters get in the way of staying connected with everyone here.
And like Robin, when we lost our first friend, Phil, Z-Ghost, i was devastated and couldn't place this loss, i mean, it's the internet, we don't really "know" each other, yet we do. So where does that grief even go? Like, i just don't have a neat little place in my head to tuck it away. That probably makes no sense and i'm rambling...
The point is, i really look forward to getting to know you bc I've made some of the sweetest relationships in this thread and i'd love to add another to my list
Opin…as our buddy would say… NUH-UH! You ain't going nowhere! And you better be here for roll call. You're in the Army now. So drop and gimme 20!
