Lurker's New & Old Gather Here :)

Thanks Rose. After his horse fell on him 7 years ago it took 6 months to get him out of the wheel chair and with the pins in his wrist he can't open the number of gates that a feedlot takes anymore. That was when we ended up here. He doesn't farm. We have been ranchers or feedlot all of our married life except when he was in the military. We both let our CDLs lapse when we moved back to Colorado in "91" but we may see if we can't get them back. It would open several possibilities. Time will tell I guess. First he has to finish this one. Maybe an answer will come in the coming month.

nope, you earned that signature...and with all the stress lately, no one can blame you....is a former alcoholic no longer former for having a drink at a celebration or funeral? Everything in moderation. We all have our breaking points and reach for our comfort devices once in a while....as long as we stay strong and don't revert it's all good...it's the willpower to put the cig down once the stress is gone that makes us ex-addicts not the act of smoking/drinking/ect once in a while....

I'm so sorry hon ... I just knew something was wrong
You know surely that those of us who are prayer people will have you in our prayers.
God may be giving you a shove hon

 

[daleron]

I agree wholeheartly with the other's ... don't even think another thought about taking your banner down!!!

Gosh! I've missed a bunch this morning

Not important but did the little double wall cups survive the trip?

 

[balwin]

Thanks Rose and Shad. I haven't decided yet if I will change it or how...

Funny how at the moment it feels like that little shove is at the edge of a cliff... I suppose I should start exercising my wings then huh...

Well enough of the pity party! Where there's life there's hope. This too shall pass. As an old friend now passed always said, "This is the day the Lord hath made. Rejoice and be glad in it. And so I shall.

Oh yes they did! That was when Bella started begging to skip pre-school so she and I could have the tea party!

Also they match my little bodum pot perfectly! I use it for the flowering teas most of the time but it has a nice glass strainer and will work beautifully for the loose teas. I think they will be used this evening, perhaps make us both sleep a bit more peacefully!

Wonderful!!! I'm so glad

And I never said it was a "little" shove

I went on a great shopping spree the day before and earlier in the day of our notice... I got 5 eternity drippers, 10 new clearos and spare heads (for DH), 16 eVod 650's for DH, 2 carto tanks (raven's nest style), a new vamo, VG, 5 flavors from VZ... something else though I can't recall what it is at the moment all coming... I guess the good news is they won't take up all that much space when it comes time to pack them...

4 new beakers, 1 ml syringes, and blunt tip needles...

I remembered when I went in the kitchen where I opened the boxes with the flavoring and the VG... great now my CRS is taking over!

Yay! Something to look forward to huh???

Eww Bobbi!!! I just got 4 Eternity's from Liberty Flights for 15.97!!! Can you believe it?!?

 

[balwin]

That is where I ordered mine from, 3.99 each and shipping though I don't recall the total... Have yours arrived yet? I was wondering if it is a "too good to be true" thing... DIL hadn't checked the mail in a couple of days so don't know if they are here or in the wind or a fantasy that I paid for yet... I really didn't need anymore but I couldn't resist the deal... The other stuff is all ft so it will be here when it gets here...

Yes yes!! Same deal
The only thing I noticed was that the little plastic piece was missing ... that's all, and we don't use that anyway!
And yes, I got mine all ready!

Bobbi! sorry to hear about your situation lately. It's never the fall you take that defines you but the strength you possess to lift yourself back up so don't feel bad about the cigs!

Secondly, mama! You and Torey sure were chatty this morning!

And finally, hello all

Hello sweetie!

But hon, Torey and I never get to chat like that and we were both up at the same time for once

Very true Welsh! We shall be phoenix and rise again... it is what we do!

Glad to hear that Dale. The shipping number they sent me was 30 digits and they keep telling me to check the number when I put it in the USPS website. I wondered when it wasn't at the kids last night if it was a hoax. That and when I went to check out the site turned to German made me kind of wonder if all was well... but if your's are from the same place and you have received them then I guess it is ok and they will get here eventually.

How many did they have when you ordered?

Shadav ordered two but only got one because they ran out

 

[balwin]

I don't recall for sure now but it was enough I considered ordering a dozen and never having to worry about them stopping making them... I'm always afraid when they do a fire sale like that it is because they are going to discontinue them... and you know me, I am addicted to my eternity!

Ah, okay
You must have found it before I did then cause they only had 15 still in stock when I ordered my four

Getting pretty addicted myself

 

[balwin]

I did a google for the eternity for the "pins" you had listed before (figure I really should order a bunch since they are what keeps the little fellas going) and when I saw it I grabbed mine. I intended to come and share it but that was when DH gave me the news and I kind of shut down for a while... Kept thinking I should get on here but just wasn't strong enough to share the "news" yet...

That's quite all right Bobbi
I shared it ...... after I got mine that is

Did you find the pin/coils at MFS?

 

[balwin]

The 2 DS know but we haven't shared it with anyone else yet... Still trying to absorb it ourselves... Really is quite a shock at our age to need to go job hunting and not have it have been our idea... This is one time when being 57 sucks... ranches usually hire young men and we're too young to retire...
