Max's family thread (no, it's not a contest)

Morning family. Have some news to report on my oldest daughter. She can finally get back to vaping, she found a job. Its only a part time gig in a grocery store bakery/deli, but its a start.

Woo hoo! Gotta start somewhere, right? Shaun had an interview yesterday for a full time job. Fingers crossed!!!

I admit it...I love puppies!!!!

Puppies are the best!!! Speaking of puppies, check out Homer's new pose. Shaun just left for work and he is apparently waiting patiently for him to come back in the door, lol.

I just blew the rest of my year end bonus......going on a ten day cruise to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean over Christmas.

Nice! So I take it you two have kissed and made up?

 

[cooladdict]

That is what I should do!! Start putting some aside

I'm so glad I did that. Last year was really hard on us since we both lost our good jobs and it came in very handy! I can't wait until things straighten out so I can start building up again. My hubby is 8 years older than me so he will retire long before I do, and I want to make sure we can enjoy it when he does retire. He's still got about 10 more years of working, though, so lots of time to prepare.

It will be tough not being online for 10 days.

Oh I'm positive you will find lots of things to do on that cruise, lol. It's scary thinking about being off the grid for that long and we will miss you terribly, but you deserve this!

They offer unlimited WiFi.....for $30 a day. I don't need to be online that much that I'm willing to shell out $300. And I'm probably not going to drink since unlimited drinks are $79 a day. What will be tough will be going without my soda (that's $59 a day). The ship is the Norwegian Gem and it's going to Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Nassau. Norwegian's vaping policy is that because vaping looks so much like smoking, they are restricting it to certain places where smoking is allowed.

UGH. Hopefully you will be able to get away with it in your cabin. So far I have been able to vape in all of the non-smoking hotel rooms I have been in.

 

[cooladdict]

Yay!!! My Pure tank has hit Cincinnati and should arrive Monday!!! Wooohoooooo

Sweet!! I hope you get a black one this time. I am very seriously thinking about getting a black Pure.

My older son is adamant that he does not want to go......because I never consulted with him to check if he wanted to go or not. So we ended up cancelling his ticket and he's going to stay home. Only saved $200 since the 3rd and 4th guest travels for free and just need to pay taxes.

I'm not overly fond of them nickel and diming you for everything. Alcohol is extra...soda is extra....bottled water is extra.....going to the spa is extra....eating at the "premium" restaurants is extra....they charge $13.50 per guest per day fee.

That's nuts! As if they don't already rake in the dough, you know? It's like going to the movies, only on a much larger scale, lol.

Sooo, yesterday I broke the glass in my Starre Pure. Sad face!! When I was replacing it I decided to check the coil and see what it looks like after a week of solid vaping. It's still super clean! The cotton is just a little bit dark, but the ceramic is still pristine and there was no gunk at all on the wire. I'm vaping my Autumn Spice in it. I am just so impressed with this setup!!!

I mean.. if he doesn't want to go, you can adopt me for 10 days.

Happy birthday to our brother John! @jseah, I hope this next year is your best, most favorite year ever. I wish we all lived closer so we could throw you an amazing party!

Fasttech has a sale going on....so I just ordered more 0.5 ohm Starre Pure coils and 3 more Starre Pure tanks in black. Guess I'll be retiring all my other tanks.

Do you have a spare? I just ordered a 5 pack of spare glass from Fasttech (it's $2 for one, $6 for five).

Yeah, we have.

You would have to fly up here though...the ship sails from NY. I originally thought about asking my daughter, but she already made plans with her new family to go to Lake Tahoe for skiing.

Haha. As long as the car holds up, I'll probably be in Georgia visiting family while you are gone.

I don't get birthday notifications all the times on FB, so.... happy birthday, John! I hope you know how much we all love you!

I think I'm going to go ahead and get coils from FT instead of Vaporider. By the time I pay tax and shipping, it's almost a whole set of 5 coils

The coils are $10 and change for a package of 5. Supposed to "ship in 3 business days". I'm fine with that since these coils seem to last forever. When I finally have to swap out this coil, I will try giving it a shot at rebuilding the coil.
