Good Morning, Beachers.

LOL.....you got that right, Dale.

Sorry I did not make it back yesterday....hubs and I did some work and planning in the yard, then got cleaned up for the graduation party. What a beautiful day for an outdoor party! And a beautiful day to drink too much wine. Got home about 6:30, and laid down for a "little" snooze....woke up at 9:50, groggy and confused. By the time I figured out who I was and where I was, it was too late to post. I guess being outside all day, and then drinking wine was just too much for an old lady.

So, today, we are doing more yard work, and then maybe entertaining here for dinner. Waiting to hear back from son on whether they are coming or not.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. Happy Fathers' Day to all of you....hoping your kids remember it.

Good Early Afternoon, Beach Babes and Buddies. 's and 's appropriately.

Well, VG, if you have chronic back pain, you might want to watch this short vid too. Dr Sarno's program is for ANY chronic illness or pain. His book is on amazon. There are a LOT of uTube vids on his program. It is also very effective on fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Thank you for this, Sea!

I'll look into Dr. Sarno.

Good morning beach and happy father's day!

CASA is asking for our help.

Hey, Beachers....this showed up on another thread....we need to do this. Go here, fill out your personal info, and you can add your own story of ecig success in the middle white part....just a couple of sentences explaining how personal vaporizers have helped you.....to let them know how you feel about all the b.s. the FDA is pulling.

Bringing this forward again, and I will be doing it a little later today!

Thanks for this, Glam!

I've been busy replying to CASSA's request.

This is what I added . . .

I am 59 years old and was an off-and-on smoker for 37 years (I quit 3 times). In my last efforts to quit smoking in November2012, I wasn’t able quit to, in spite of quitting 3 times before (including a period of 15 years until October 2008), because cigarettes had changed so much in that 15-year time. I tried an e-cigarette because of a consistent hack that had developed, trying them as an alternative to smoking - a replacement for conventional cigarettes - not as a way to wean off nicotine. My hack went away in 2 days from reduced smoking. I thought they were good in theory, but I wasn’t able to quit smoking with the NJOY and 21st Century brands. I was only able to cut down to about half of my cigarette usage with them.

I tried another e-cig (an eGo Kit that came with tobacco flavors), and that was better. Then I started using 100% VG in that eGo Kit, but after finding better, refillable devices (namely a tank atomizer with a glass tube) and more appealing, non-tobacco flavors (namely Cinnamon Red Hots), I found that I was exclusively using the e-cigarette and no longer had the desire to smoke conventional cigarettes. In fact, the taste of conventional cigarettes was no longer appealing in any way, and the horrid smell of them is enough to keep me away from them now. I successfully quit smoking cigarettes with much better, high-quality e-cig devices and flavored 100% VG e-liquids about a year ago.

I know many former cigarette smokers with a similar story, who quit smoking with higher-quality e-cigs and a variety of flavors. FDA-approved nicotine cessation products cannot help people like myself, my family members, and friends who aren't even trying to quit or have given up trying, or were trying to quit but can’t quit with 21st Century, NJOY, or Blu (like me). E-cigarettes (many of which - like mine - are customizable for the needs and tastes of each user) were able to replace conventional cigarettes for me and them, and eliminate our exposure to toxic smoke - in spite of the fact that some of them weren't trying to quit smoking! I have suffered no ill effects from using an e-cigarette, and my doctors applauded me when I told them I was off of cigarettes with an e-cig. Today, my hack is gone, I can breathe better, I can taste food again, my energy is back, and I get sick less often.

If not for trying that first e-cigarette, and my subsequent tries with advanced e-cigarette technology and flavors (I don’t like tobacco flavors – I like candies and fruits), I am absolutely certain I would still be smoking today. I believe so strongly in the potential of these products to save the lives of millions of smokers, that I tell everyone I can about them.

I am so extremely disappointed in my government and its agencies for the actions being taken against the e-cigarette industry and e-cigarette consumers that it has even changed my political views and turned me into a tobacco harm reduction activist, by joining the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA).

I am also very disappointment in people like Senator Harkin, who keeps saying how e-cigs are being marketed to kids through the use of certain candy Flavors. While there may have been some misguided people who made TV commercials and Internet Ads and Games with things like Gummy Bears flavor (according to him – I haven’t seen them), flavors like Citrus, Strawberry, Cherry, Banana, Cinnamon Red Hots for me, and many other flavors that kids might be attracted to are highly used by adults who were able to quit smoking cigarettes with the use of these flavors, including Gummy Bears. It’s not like kids are the only ones who could like these flavors!!! So let’s get real about this, and do things to keep e-cigs out of the hands of our children and youth, but not take such drastic actions as to make the higher-quality e-cig device brands unavailable to the adults whose lives have been saved by them.

Scientific and Medical studies have now been done to show that there are no secondhand vapor issues to be concerned with. Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos has done studies showing just how much safer they are than cigarettes. Other Doctors and Scientists have done other kinds of studies. While some of the chemicals that are found in cigarettes have been found in e-cig vapor, they are at much, much lower concentrations, so there’s no need for all the alarm. E-cigarettes are a much safer alternative to smoking! So why is there so much fuss? Accept the science as stated, fund more if you like, and stop either misquoting the science that’s available, or using old data that has been proven wrong. I implore you to look into it for yourself, and stop taking whatever FDA and CDC are feeding you.

Good afternoon VG , told you today would be quiet

Hiya, Dearest.

I called that customer to deliver today, but there was no answer, so I got busy with the CASSA thing.

Hope you had a good nap.

Hi Sea, My Boo.

Thanks for the Father's Day wishes.

You're welcome, VG ... hope you're having a relaxing day.


Here's one for you ... bet you can relate to the word "bayou." I had to look it up.

Well written dear

I used what Kristin (of CASSA) wrote as a guide, modified it to make it personal, and added stuff. She said that most of the submissions likely will not be read, but if even one of two people look at them, then maybe we can make some headway. This is my general feeling about it whenever someone says, write to your Congress person. The Congress people will usually never see it themselves, as they have staff for that stuff, and kind of take poles for interest, when they do it at all, but if we don't write in, then we can't complain. And she also said that if it comes to the legal battle, we can show that we sent in this info. So I did my part.

Here, all the local state tax offices were closed not long ago. When you make sales and charge sale tax, you collect for city and state, and have to file for both. In the past, when I needed to, I could go to the local state tax office, but now everything goes through the state capitol building, and everything is online or over the phone. I went to the city office for something and made a comment about how simple it used to be with the state office here, too. I was told to write my Congress people about it. I laughed. She said "They don't have any idea what they've done!" She was hopeful it would make a difference, so now I need to write to them about this, too. That's for State Income Taxes and Sales Taxes, and that office here was very convenient for the whole central state area. But she said it has effected her ability to do her work as well. So I'll do it, even though I feel it's a waste of time.

You're welcome, VG ... hope you're having a relaxing day.


Here's one for you ... bet you can relate to the word "bayou." I had to look it up.

Yup, relaxing so far.

I called that customer again, and her cell phone is disconnected. You have to pay that bill?

Thanks for the music, love. Yes, we have bayous everywhere.
