I have a flip that I have used for years and years, of course, I use a phone to talk. As my daughter once told her friends, "Daddy don't text".
When the husband was undergoing something of a mental breakdown um, well, things weren't going so well. I found some rather alarming things and was in a HIGH dudgeon.... nothing actually real or anything, but some things that *I* as the primary breadwinner at the time (and LOYAL spouse) found rather upsetting and well, my psychiatrist got to hear all about it....
He got this earnest "therapy" face on (he considers himself like a therapist and does it on patients who don't know better) and it went like this.
"Well, sometimes men treat their mistresses better than their wives--"
"Shut up. I'm not even kidding. I don't want to go there with you."
"I just mean... maybe you could buy a black wig and--"
"SHUT UP! I told you no therapeutic suggestions and this is WHY!!!"
Uncomfortable face coupled with the inability to stop, "I just mean.... maybe he could call you Sally in bed or something!"
"Hysterical ranting followed by tears."
I went out to the receptionist (who is by far my fave person in that office and told her what went down). Her response: "It sounds like Dr. X AND your husband are both being total F%^^heads."
LOL, I wish she were my therapist or even my grandmommy. Everything turned out fine, although the husband's face still blanches when I tell him to call me "Sally." I mean, you have to use the weapons life provides you with.
I really don't think that rewarding adulterous thoughts is best solved by trying to turn myself into a Black Haired Sally. When my psychiatrist pisses me off enough though, I just also ask him to call me "Sally". HE FREAKS.
At the time it really sucked, but I have later found humor in it. LOL.

I missed this earlier. A very loooong time ago my fair skinned blonde wife was going to a work Halloween party. She had dressed as a witch, including spraying her hair black with temporary hair coloring. I reacted favorably to her appearance and she was quite upset. That's when I found out that she had lost her natural blonde hair when she had given birth (my stepchildren) but kept it blonde because she was so pale skinned that she thought black hair made her look sickly. Much later I could joke with her about her hair color but she practically considered me adulterous at the time for liking the other look.
I didn't for the longest time. Now I consider it more convenient than hanging on the phone, which bothers me.
I like the Stylo. It's cheap but it has a built in stylus (hence the name) that's easy to use.
The problem with an iCig is that it would cost $800+ for the device itself just to get started. It would have proprietary batteries, proprietary charging cords, and when they release a new version they would lower the power on the older models to try and force you to upgrade. I think I'll pass.
Proof positive that men can't win. If you had said you hated it, she would have been mad. Save you love it and you are a skeevy pig.
I agree. Got one over the Christmas holiday. Works like a champ and was around the $100. mark. I refuse to pay much more than that for a phone.....
Totally would pass. Hey, that sounds a lot like what these phone companies are doing to those who sign up for their overpriced cells phones.......imagine that.
lol
Well you have to admit he has a phone number that is easy to remember.
There is a Houston Divorce Lawyer that has 713-Freedom for a phone number.
That is so unfair. Women hate/love/detest/enjoy/adore/are jealous/dismissive/angry/silent/raging/emotional/keep adding words to infinity.....
about EVERYTHING, not just other women.
Also, dudes complaining about women like, never being happy with their efforts/complements? I think it's fair to say it's not the compliment that is at issue.... I can be totally pissy/fine with whatever is said, in the right mood.
We need emotional variety, and that's just a fact. Wait, that was too manly. We need emotional variety, probably sorta well, if we're in the mood for that, sometimes logic is better, but not if you feel like we should be logical, except when we save up all that logic to, well slice you off at the knees.
Don't blame me, God made me female and I just decided to go with it. I mean, the "switching gender" thing seems like a LOT of work, so I'm pleased with my choice. LOL.

I don't think emotional variety is a manly quality.
The whole women thing of "It's not what you said, it's how you said it" is single handedly one of the top things guys find infuriating.
I can't believe i read all the way through this thread and still feel compelled to type something.
tl:dr There is a history here that explains the use of e-cigarette and vaping.
I remember when vaping became a phrase associated with e-cigs, eni's, pnv's, or whatever you want to call them. One of the things i remember is everyone going to urban dictionary to upvote "our" definition of vaping. Before that, vaping had a drug connotation, just like vaporizer. I think over the last 6 years or so, the term vaping has become synonymous with ecig's instead of herbal vaporizers. I also believe that is a main part of the reason that drug talk is so heavily discouraged on here. We were trying to make it clear that we are in a different category of user.
I don't think any of us old-timers think the term "vaping" was wholly created by us, but we re-appropriated the term for our uses.
Electronic Cigarette was a fitting term with the ruyan e-cigarette, 801, 901, 401 and then the 510. Those were all trying to emulate the size and look of a cigarette, except the ruyan and 801 which were larger. At the time it was thought, and probably accurately so, that the closer it looked and functioned to a cigarette, the easier it would be to convert smokers. They were typically auto firing on inhale.
It wasn't until the screwdriver came out that anyone looked at marketing a mod. Every manufacturer was trying to go for smaller, and better in whatever way they could. After the screwdriver came all the other small batch mods. Shortly after the big players started to follow suit.
I still call them e-cigs, and the act vaping. So there is a very broad history lesson for no real reason.
