I just received a private email from a member who has judged me harshly and from what this person has said, I was discussed among other members and they too have come to the same conclusion that I used my husband's lung cancer to garner sympathy and get out of purchasing a device when it was felt by this person that what I really had was buyer's remorse and what I did was disingenuous (which Wikipedia's definition is insincere, dishonest, untruthful, false, deceitful, duplicitous, lying, mendacious, and hypocritical) and in bad taste.
I was further told that I was resented for having done this.
Now, this person, nor did ANY other person write and ask me my situation. Imeo and I had private emails to each other about the situation, the actual DETAILS were between he and I. I did explain some of it to the GG group and stated that I was only explaining the situation briefly to show what an understanding person Imeo was. I didn't go into detail because that wasn't the purpose of my postings, the purpose was to show who Imeo was as a person, which was understanding and caring.
My husband has lung cancer, but right now he's doing well. However, future medical bills will be more difficult to pay for, come next November(we do have good insurance, but even $20 here and there, or $75. or whatever is difficult to come up with if you don't have it).
I am buying a LOT of items for us right now while we can. When growing up I was taught to prepare for future problems if possible. Because my husband and I (because of his retirement policy) will be without any retirement pay for almost two months and only 60% of the retirement pay for 2 to 4 months after that, times will be tough (we have my SS [thank God], which is barely over $600). We will be able to make our bills, but after bills, we will have $26 a week for food, just to give you an idea of how tough it will be. And, even when he gets full retirement it won't be much because he's retiring so early.
Am I scared? A little, but you know what, I'm stocking my pantry, buying suplements, and YES, stocking e-cigs, e-liquid, lots of atomizers, and batteries. I've got LOTS of cartons of analogs for my husband (he's refused to quit analogs because our doctor told him it doesn't matter now). I'm PROUD of myself. I'm proud to be able to say I'm stocking up, and preparing for he and I.
I decided against the GG (after actually paying for it) because there had been a thread discussing the cost of sending the GG back to Greece if there was a problem. The cost wasn't that much, but it was more than if the item had been American made. I decided to go with the American made because of the potentially cheaper shipping. Imeo understood.
But others in that forum, perhaps on other forums, decided to judge me rather than write and ask for details. I would copy and paste the private email, but from what I understand that is reason for dismissal and I don't want to be kicked off the forum.
I will repeat. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE FINE, WE'LL BE FINE, I'M PROUD OF US FOR PREPARING FOR DIFFICULT TIMES COMING UP, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO KNOW ANYTHING CAN PM ME, BUT PLEASE DO NOT PM ME AND CALL ME NAMES WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
