Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

[*RJ*]

I skimmed the first one and got very bored with it. I just started And the Mountains Echoed, Khaled Hossein's latest and it's wonderful and more my speed.

Congrats on the 10 months RJ!

My next read is a draft book written by my BFF's other friend. She wanted me to read it and give it my opinion and edits if needed. We'll see. Then I have three more Stephen King books to catch up on after just finishing two the other day. Been reading a lot but I love it!

Could you come up with any MORE names for me, bouncing Becky Blue?

If my credit card didn't take such a major hit every time I spend any length of time in the Natural Tobaccos thread, I'm sure I'd have a few more...but Mr. One Shot has a nice ring to it.

Speaking of movies.. I watched Paperboy 2 nights ago. Very dark and disturbing... has anyone seen it?

They made a 2nd one? Some mention was made of the first one somewhere the other day, and I think I am glad that I did not watch it.. just seemed weird!

 

[MostlySunny]

Never heard of it. Horror flick?

Uh.. not really... watch it. Let me know what you think. The acting is great, but very disturbing

As for Ghost and the Darkness, I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!! .. the phrase that was called out was "One Shot!". You gotta watch that movie if you have not already done so.

No, I watched it two nights ago, last night I watched This is 40 trying to regain a sense of humor (that was cute).

"Killing Lions" is a good phrase. The movie is about a pair (brothers) of Maneless Lions that terrorized the building of a section of the Kenya - Uganda railroad by killing well over a hundred workers, if I remember correctly. It is loosely based on the book, "The Maneaters of Tsavo" by Col. John Patterson, who is played by Val Kilmer in the movie. Those Lions are today displayed in the Fields Museum in Chicago.

Not all Lions are bad, but when they turn man-eater, they do have to be put down.

Based on reading a LOT of hunting and man-eater lore as I was growing up, I would surmise that the brothers were probably raised by a man-eating mother that was either too old or injured in a fight. Her lack of being unable to hunt regular prey would have led to her being a man-eater and the brothers would just have continued to kill in the way that they were raised. With the thousands of workers sleeping in tents and out in the open, it would have been a literal buffet for them.

The movie is really well done, and nothing is taken away from the stealth or the ferocity with which the Lions hunt. Yes, they die in the end, but they were portrayed beautifully through the movie.

I thought Michael Douglas' character was awesome.

Fictional, but yes, well played!

So, after using my Vamos in the evenings I'm spoiled. My Twists during the day are not doing it for me any more. The Vamo creates this thick fluffy vapor and my Twists are OK but it's not the same. Maybe my Twists are getting old. So now I think I'll start bringing my Vamo to work. It's just so darn BIG! Next thing you know I'll have a Provari!

And is anyone else getting a bit tired of all this charging stuff? Between my cell phone, my son's rechargable batteries, and my e-cig gear....it's getting old. And then I think I'll just order more batteries so I'll have more on hand but then I think...no...more batteries means more charging! Whew.

 

[MostlySunny]

The charging thing is old. I'm down to 2 twists and sometimes I forget to charge them. So I wait... Glad you like the Vamo.

Well for the first time ever in my life, I got hit with fraudulent charges.

 

[Hulamoon]

Ah gee whiz. Not you too! This is terrible! Any trace on the roots of the fraud Chimp?

Well for the first time ever in my life, I got hit with fraudulent charges.

 

[gthompson]

Dunno, but the last legit charge was May 3 to HHV.

 

[Hulamoon]

Drat. Had you ordered from the other e-juice suppliers who had a security break prior to that one?

 

[Bronze]

Well for the first time ever in my life, I got hit with fraudulent charges.

Not good. Join the club, Friend.

 

[gthompson]

After I talked to the CC company, I went online to check out my statements to see where all I've used that card at (I use it pretty much exclusively for e-cig purchases), but they'd already erased it. I have used it at other e-cig vendors though, I can't really remember who and when.

 

[Bronze]

Well, we all have one thing in common on this thread. We make e-cig purchases.

 

[gthompson]

Don't get me wrong, HHV was the last legitimate transaction, but I didn't say that blaming them. They don't keep our information anyway, so if someone got hacked it would have been their processor, not them.
