We were burglarized the day before Thanksgiving last year - it not only is a violation but a little paranoia sets in - you don't know if they are coming back. We had an alarm system put in right away. The insurance company is another matter. We knew it was a bunch of high school kids - a neighbor on the street behind me saw 6 kids running through the back yard and she called and left a message that the gate might be open - she really just thought the kids were using the yard as a shortcut ......2 of them were caught breaking in another house (cop saw them) - detective called me and asked what kind of dog I had (they'd let him loose) - that was the give away as to matching me up with these 2 little thugs.

I feel bad for jojo -

Read all this and wanted to let people know that 808d-2 is not compatible with 808d-1. They are completely different. Also 808 cartos usually don't work on 901 batteries without an adapter due to airflow issues if I remember right. All that being said, if someone needs a few bucks let me know. I don't have any VG stuff and I've given away all my spare hardware to guys at work interested in giving up smoking.

Yall have made me burst into tears more than once. I had a talk with my daughter in the car (on the way home from the PO.. we rushed there to get there before 5... then went through Mickey D's and had some .... manager be rude) so I was explaining how important it was to make a difference, and that the way we treat each other is what really matters in this life. Not what we own, not our jobs, or the toys/cars we have, but the way we touch each other's lives. So.. of course, I get all teary and emotional, talking about what's going on w/Jo and everyone (ok, getting teary again) and naturally had to take that moment to "do the lesson thing" w/my kid...
Anyhoo... then to come back here and see z/m offering to send what little she can when she's trying to keep her water turned on, and all the other people that I know are scraping by too... it just really really shows the GOOD in us all. (ok, full blown tears.. hormones! ya know) but THIS is what matters, and THIS is what life is all about to me.

So I just wanted to personally THANK you all for helping, no matter if it's a small amount of something or a large amount, because I know whatever it is that we are giving, is big in our own lives, and will be even bigger for Jo. So thank you. :cry:

ok.. going to go bawl now.
 
(((((((((Leannebug))))))))) arent you just a sweet lil thing!!! i get all hormonal myself i.e. almost throwin my PV against the wall the other night, or crying when i read my eldest sons fathers day card to hubs...so yeah i know!!! like the saying goes...you may be only one person in this world..but to one person u may be the world!!! and if everyone joins together we can make a world of diff!! i just remembered about my flavorings...tastypuffs and juicy drops...do you think she could use those??? NIC and VG could be added to them??

OK: Information time:


Paypal- we are going to hold off until we hear from that dot.com that Pam said she liked. I've got someone else inquiring. I agree with UTrose, I'd rather send directly to a fund or account at the store. We will consider paypal/gc as a last resort. I'll (or someone) will keep yall posted.

Donating- please, as big as your hearts are, don't give if you can't afford it! Someone else will step up. We have a large group with a HUGE amount of resources and giving peeps, so don't feel badly. There will come another time when you can give again.

Equipment: I think most people have 510 stuff, so that is being sent out. If anyone has adapters so that any 510/808/901 etc stuff can work together.. fantastic, just speak up! We will get her set-up! The charger sounds great (especially the USB kind), I think -correct me if I'm wrong - the USB ones are interchangable, and will fit all the batts.

Misc- yes, she's in Jersey. No, she's not into DIY stuff yet, but I did send her some VG and some VG nic, to go along with the drops someone was sending.

I managed to get to the PO in the nick of time. Was HOPING to send overnight, but missed the cut-off (didn't know it was 4:15) but I sent it priority, so it will be there in a couple days. I was able to send : a charged 510 battery (just in case), 510 atty, 2 homemade lightly mentholated juices, the unflavored nic, some menthol crystals, a couple droppers, several juices, straight VG, some various bottles, and a few 808 cartos and some 510 cartos I think that was it, I was in a hurry :) and have CRS syndrome ;)

what really sucks - I broke down, did not have means to buy - since my laptop was gone, and went and did the unthinkable..............yes, I bought them ( analogs ) 6 months down the drain - they taste like ...., but I got what I needed.
Now, if I can learn how to use this #$%^&* laptop, I'll get back on my feet again.
