I have had several smartphones. I hate paying the bill but love my phone. My wife and I went back to feature phones "dumb phones" to try and save a few bucks. Sold my Galaxy Note 2 for more than I paid for it!! Only lasted 2 months. I hated not having all of my contacts but more importantly, the calendar. My wife and kids have some health issues and they have many appointments. My wife and I could sync our google calenders so I always knew what and when was going on. We only have one vehicle so knowing who would have it when was always a plus.

My wife tried to drink the ikool-aid...sucker!!!! I am not a fan of apple. They are way to controlling with their stuff!! They don't like to share with other apple products. Itunes had actually deleted some music that was purchased from amazon from her account......!! It was paid for not stolen but didn't play nice!!
Tried a windows phone. I have never had a smart phone that was so stupid!!!! Didn't have speed dial?!?

Love my Android!! I can add and subtract music at will. Removable storage is awesome!! We have like 4000 songs on our amazon cloud but streaming uses data. I have access to everything, anywhere I want it. With itunes, her work computer and home computer had different music on it. Couldn't combine the 2. just silly!! I hope they have fixed this issue but then again, it's Apple. If they would go back to Innovation rather than Litigation, I think they have a future. If not then they will die a slow death ala Microsoft!!

Thanks for the update Mveraldi. It must be tough to be a vaper in Brazil if you have to wait a month for vapemail. You must have to keep a big stock of eliquid to keep you going.

I hear people complaining about delivery that takes a week to arrive and I think I should be so lucky!!! I have to keep a big stock of everything !!!

And, out of curiosity, are there any express delivery options available to you?

Express options don't necessarily make the most financial sense. Using Canada as an example, USPS charges anywhere from $10 - 20 to get stuff to us for a small sized package. That could take any where from 7 - 12 business days depending on which coast it's shipping from. Express would be upwards of $35 - 45 for the same package size and would take around 5 - 7 business days. Courier would also be in the $35 - 50 range but would atleast get the package to me in a day or two.

It's one reason I've ordered juice etc in bulk for the last 3 years, to offset the higher shipping costs. It's also why I can't just place a small juice order from a new or popular vendor, or when something sleek and sexy is released. I hold back from ordering because the item could cost $10 - 20, but then would cost another $20 to ship here.. :facepalm:

Okay, that sounds rough, and it also sounds like some sort of import tax work-around :(

That is why I look up to and respect vendors such as Epipemods who ship free globally for anything over $20. If they can do it, so should other vendors out of the U.S. Their shipping includes tracking etc. which makes it super easy for us "Internationals" to order from them. It's probably why I've owned about 6 different pipes and a number of other items from them in the past few years. :)

I agree that it does seem that if one vendor can do it, then they could all do it as well. Hmmmm.....

Of course, you could move down here, we'd be happy to have you in the US :)

but have you run your label number through usps to see if there has been movement? ;)

I have tracked on the USPS site it only shows acceptance but that's not uncommon for international shipment !!! it usually tracks until the last point inside the US and stops tracking but I have had shipments that didn't track and got delivered, I'm hoping that tis is the case here!

No more cute puppy.

Had to take her back because my damn allergies started to resurface, and my wife basically over ruled any objections because she didn't want me going back on prescription meds for the rest of the pups life.

Chloe was more than understanding, for which I am grateful!

No more doggies for me, I'm done! :(

Welp, still 10 more pages to catch up on and I don't feel like doin' it so instead Ima just post and ask how it's all going?

I'm trying to use this tapatalk app on this iPad but I much prefer using a regular computer. My netbook has an issue with its power (it doesn't sense that it's plugged in, now no matter how I try to magically position it). So, on the hunt now for a new laptop/netbook/ultrabook. I've been on the road a lot lately.

Oh, and I guess planning my wedding for next summer? Stress and worries...I haven't informed my side yet...the elders disapprove... We've been together close to 10 years now and known each other longer, so any of their criticisms are irrelevant and goofy.

I'm trying to get into my head that it's really just a big party, and as such, I can make it anything I want. And I want people to be entertained and have fun. I want there to be colors and sparklers and live music and animals and flowers and balloons and s'mores and a bottomless bar of everything anyone could ever want. Like a Fellini film, except no Italians. I can only think of one Italian I know, and he was a professor of mine. I wonder if I should invite him just to try and get some Italian blood in there.

We do plan on inviting some far reaching guests, just to cover our bases. I forget who came first in our celebrity guest list, but there was definitely Edward Norton, for me, and then for the man Laura Prepon. And with her there comes that girl from Shameless. Oh, Beyonce, and then of course Jay Z, and then of course the Obamas. Bernie and Jeffords and Leahy. And Lady Gaga. And then of course Justin Timberlake. And then of course Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. And then of course Jeff Goldblum. Maybe Susan Sarandon if that wouldn't be weird. And Danny DeVito, and why not the rest of Always Sunny. Oh and of course Bryan Cranston and his sidekick Aaron Paul and then his sidekick Diddy or whatever he goes by these days. Oh, and Zach Galifianakis.

Gotta remember that all those people also prolly have a plus one. So we may end up passing that 100 mark! Otherwise, it might be more like 60? Not a real social butterfly, so most of the folks will be from the other side. Trying to put on a happy face, all the while dreading the backlash of the opposition...and so I do the avoidance technique in the meantime, so as to breathe.

This tapatalk makes the dancing nanner brigade look stupid. Oh, and we're planning on having at least one of those blow up dancing wiggly waving guys you see at car dealerships, so we can all dance like him. Also thought of walking down the aisle to that Kill Bill song, you know, the bad-... walking music. And then I'd also do some sweet flips or something. This post could have been so much more entertaining with photos, but it's laborious enough just trying to make sure I type the correct words. And what's really disturbing is that the only saved photo on this iPad is of a swollen goat's udder.
