i have more comming.. the stories are good sometimes, sad at other times.. there are far too many deaths and strokes due to addiction.

i have not been well but will get some more vids up soon. i struggle with privacy and dignity issues.. i hate posting pics of people that are a bit down and out. i know that i would not want my pic and story if it was me posted to strangers..

my China order is in customs and im waiting... our friends are getting impatient..

SalemGold, i so appreciate you friending Kerc. he gets so excited when he talks about you... (WINK)

i am trying to get kerc a new wardrobe for school. i am also trynig to get him a room while he is a full time student. I keep running out of money. My wife and I just came out of a bankruptcy and lost our home ourselves. I will pray kerc gets a place for the semester.. ill figure ssomething out.. he will not be able to get his regular meals due to his school schedule. Ill make him 2 meals a day and get it to him every three days..

problem is i am having another surgery and will be in a halo for three months unable to walk or get up and about...

Thanks for all the caring..

i am humbled..
Pastor Frankie


What an awesome story Kerc has! And what an inspiration for those he is sharing with.

I love hearing the stories and progresses, Brother Frankie! Thank you for sharing them with us.

As I said in the PM I just sent you, Brother Frankie, there will be a shipment of ejuice going out for you on Monday. Multiple 18 mg juices, 2 5 packs of cartos, and some DIY mixes at 24 mg if you want those, too. I'm drowning in juice here, I think I have way more than I can vape in a year so I'm sharing with your homeless guys that can't afford to buy it. :vapor:

good news.. NO HALO no hard collar.. (not even a clerics:) collar) doc said it went better than he thought was possible considering my past surgeries and the shape of my spine.. i give God the credit. Many friends were praying..

kerc is in school.. his first week ends today. ill touch base and get him food and some "docker" style pants if possible..

i did get three or four boxes of donations plus my china order in my mailbox when i got home Thursday night..

thanks anon vender (i think i l know who it is as we fingerprinted the box..LOL) ..

thanks ratchet , DSLW and SalemGold too.. for all the work, the mailing, the packaging... i would so like to take you two and a few others out to Carrabas or charlies steak house for a great dinner and chit chat..

ill sort of the stuff and organize when i am up to it and see whats what.. im chair bound and crippled for a bit..

(im vaping ALt Cig DUBLIN DOWN yum yum this is good, ecblend sweet virginia, Aroma Juice DK TAB and ECBLEND RY4 with Aroma juice splash.. also using the Jax Pipe with shire malt) im set.. :)

i vaped during my three day hospital stay including while in recovery.. i could have sold a bunch of kits if i had them with me.. dr's, nurses, etc all thought this was so kool.. i was not talking too well so i had pre-printed cards with my fav venders and links to here printed in my phone case..

and now for an embarrassing set of pics..

:rickroll: It's so good to see you!!!!!!!!!!!! (I hope those were enough exclamation marks to make you feel missed) I'd give you a big hug, but, you know... I might squeeeeze to hard and you'd be back in surgery! OK, so when do you get to go home? You are lucky to have such an, ahem, attentive nurse! (NOT asking why you made that face) Hi Kerc!!!

Hello my fellow vapers. I am glad to see that this is still going strong. I have been offline for a bit due to some medical reasons but I am back now and my heart is full just reading everything that has happened. Bro Frankie I am glad that your surgery went well and I am so glad to see Kerc doing so well. I hope you all have a great day. God Bless!

I am just blown away by reading this thread. Prayers have gone up, and at the moment that's about all I can do, but that's a good thing, because God is able to do abundantly, exceedingly more than I could ever ask or think. And I helped run an outreach center and food pantry for a number of years, so trust me, I KNOW how to do some askin!! lol

Frankie, so happy to hear about your surgery and about Kerc! This thread has inspired others to do much the same thing with Aboriginal people in Canada. Reserve life often isn't much different than homeless.

Nikinic...prayers up for you too. God knows the problems and more importantly He knows the answers to them!!

This thread has just thrilled me down to my toes to see so many folks reaching out! God bless each and every one of you! I will be bringing this up to my church board to see if we can help.

Thanks for reading through the thread. Bro. Frankie's on the mend from surgery, but I know if he was here, he would thank you for your kind words, prayers, and works.

okey dokey folks... been busy.. i preached a funeral the second day out of the hospital for another friend from outside.. alcohol killed him..

i have known steve for several years.. what a nice (but grumpy) old guy.. well, not old, just grumpy....:oops:

he chose drinking instead of life...:evil: its not fun watching the trees grow evry day all day in the woods.. he did not drink like this B4 he was homeless..

anyway, i have been busy.. busy

i want to pay it forward to the iindian reservation and will pay pal $25 in goods or cash for a start if info is emailed to me.. i cant send more as i am trying to get 100 homeless vaping here in florida.. so many of you helped so much and i cry often when i go to the mail box..

I go thru 60-80 carto's a week and am having a hard time keeping up with the demand.. LOL

i mix over 300 ML of juice as well as use all the good DIY stuff i am getting from you good folks... thanks so much..

as you all know i do not like to post pics for dignity reasons but i have a few i took today.. (they felt bad for me in a collar so i took it off and recorded a few for you good people.

This is Mr Angry.. no kidding.. His name is Leroy Angry...LOL he waited for three months.. look at the pleasure this man is getting from his first vape. He used to smoke cig butss from the parking lots and gutters.. he would strip used buts, dry them, and re-roll icky tobacco that was in the street.. urine, spit, trash, yuck.... now he can vape.. thank you ECF angels..
