Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[MostlySunny]

Just for fun I’m searching for my first online interaction with Robin. Haven’t found it yet but what a fun blast from the past reading about CE3’s, twists, novas... RJ’s spread sheet... anyone hear from her? I used to have her phone number but I can’t find it anymore.

I WILL find the posts with my first interactions with Robin and I’ll share it. It will be fun to go down memeory Lane when she gets to feeling better and can chat with us again

Local news has been warning us about Rosa effects for a week. Is this a common thing? Never thought I’d be dealing with Hurricane weather in the desert.

Nice. You’re in the pool in the rain. Love it.

TBH I’m in the hot tub in the rain pups are in the pool. I don’t recall dealing with hurricane tropical storms since 2014. So not common but not unheard of. Strange for sure!

had a run today that took me along the mississippi coast... and there was something going on called the " Cruizin the Coast"

basically a bunch of geriatrics driving slowly along the street ( holding up traffic) in their "Teen Dream" cars...
I do have to admit tho, most of the cars are awesome... most from the 50s,60s, and 70s
people even went as far as setting up canopies along the road to sit and watch the cars go by...

Im gonna take the back roads next time... the "main drag" was toooo time consuming

 

[Rossum]

I'm don't normally follow this thread. I hope you fine folks will forgive me for jumping in here.

I'm at peace with my decision.

May peace remain with you.

I only met you in person once, and it wasn't that long ago. I will remember and treasure that short time forever.

I live here on the MS Coast...Cruisin' the Coast is an annual event that we love around here...brings in tons of money for the cities here and love seeing all the cars...us locals know to avoid the places where they go if we don't want to get caught in it...one of the places I used to work in Bay St. Louis was on one of their favorite stops, and I had prime viewing from my office...it was always my favorite week!...I'm guessing you must have been going down 90...that is their main drag.

Where is the Big Thread Part 1? Hopefully, it has been deleted. That would be a blast to go back and read the very beginning. I think I may have posted on Page 1 but I can't remember. I just remember that I was desperately searching for an ADV or EDV e-liquid after trying sooooo many and pouring most of it out. (Man, some of the swill I vaped in those days was bad bad bad.)

When I lived in town in PA, August was the month for these events. First up is Das Awkscht Fescht for vintage cars. Friday night was the Cruise To The Fescht. Saturday was fireworks. The field behind my house filled up with RVs and the roads were filled with vintage cars. Cheesesteaks, funnel cakes and music all weekend.

Then at the end of the month was “Wheels of Time” which was for the hot rods show with their Cruise Night.

That centered around Rte 100. And as fun as the shows were, we were glad to get our roads back in September.

It always makes me sad reading that thread. We've lost too many already. I'm still looking for Robin's first post.

I got to the middle of September and never found mine or hers but they should be right around there. It was a nostalgic look-see. Made me a little sad too. A lot of time has passed. Six years!

 

[76bridget]

Checking in.. My heart is broken for you Robin.. And I feel sorry for myself and everyone else here that will miss you so very much. You have touched so many of us with your kind and welcoming words. We've laughed (remember Hula swallowed a part of her tank!), and we've cried (for those gone too soon).. I'll be praying for you friend.. that you will have peace and comfort for all of your days..

I got to the end of Sept 2012 and found your first post. Man, the first Big Thread had a lot of chatter! Oh, and it seems to have been called “Heather’s Heavenly Vapes tobacco flavors” first, then was renamed at some point.

My decision:

I'm going with Hospice. I may have 3-6 months. With hospice they will keep me comfortable and my quality of life will be the best it can be.

Because I am starting early, instead of waiting till it gets closer to the end, my QoL should get maximized.

I'm at peace with my decision as are my family. I have been suffering so much lately. I'm typing this from another hospital bed. Hospice is completely covered by my insurance and they can get me all the equipment I will need as I need it. Anything I need, be it meds, equipment or whatever, will be brought to my house.

They can provide stronger meds than doctors can. Longer lasting meds.

This decision was not made lightly. I spoke with surgeons, oncologists, doctors and the hospice person. It's time for me to live my life to the best for the time that I can. Not in and out of doctors offices, hospitals or chemo rooms.

All they do for the blockages is give me morphine to rest the intestines, nothing by mouth then onto a clear liquid diet then a full liquid diet. I can do that at home in more peaceful surroundings.

My daughter is here to help my husband. She has worked with mentally disabled and has helped with others that have faced similar challenges. As of now, I'm fully mobile if not a bit weak from not being able to eat much lately. As my husband says, I don't look sick, just a bit too skinny. I will have a drain for the ascites that builds up in my belly so that will help with my appetite.

I've been apprised of what the end will kind of be like. Sedated.

I'm at peace with my decision.

Robin, I don't know what to say, other than there's a huge amount of love for you here, and you've touched people's lives in ways you'll never know. xxx

Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

Those first couple of years here were a whirlwind of activity. For a long time there were a good 200+ posts a day every day. We had a few days of over 500. You'd hit refresh and there'd be 15 new posts to read. Five different conversations going on at the same time. We even had a night shift that was headed by Phil (Z-Ghost), Hula, and Bivie...among others. You'd log in the next morning and there'd be another 50 posts to read. Hula was as nutty then as she is today. You kinda hoped she would keep the guys in check and it turned out they had to keep her in check. Of course Robin was a part of all that history. Yes, the thread name changed after a couple years. The thread quickly revolved around ALL HHV flavors, not just tobacco so it seemed only appropriate to change it. It was somewhere around this time of year in 2012 when Gandygate broke out. So that's chronicled in there somewhere. We weren't in any subforum then. Just a thread in the general ECF forum. They didn't know what to do with us so they threw us in an ECF subforum then Adam bought us up a bit later and the rest is history including the addition of a lot more great friends who are still with us today. Gee, we've been through a lot in six years when you look back. Lots of highs, and lots of lows.

GT and I would meander around other threads raising hell. We were on a Vivi Nova thread when we discovered Robin just kind of floating around finding her way like everyone else. We instantly liked her (I know, surprising). Wanting more women on the HHV thread we talked her into coming over. I think it was just a couple months or about from the beginning. And again, the rest is history. Robin has been such a big part of that.
