Thanks all for the kind words I really do appreciate you all. Still disappointed in myself though I'm sure I wouldn't have other than the fact I was out all night drinking, as I am really not a drinker It's quite rare when I do indulge, but when I do, I really do. On the flip side, it's great being able to vape in a bar while all the smokers have to congregate outside

Ok my friends, confession time.
I smoked an analog last night. First one I've had since July 4th. Was pretty close to the end of the night after being out bar-hopping all evening. I feel really bad about it, it seems like I've come such a long way to break my streak now.

I have nightmares about this all the time. I have not had any cigs since my first ego arrived in the mail, but I often dream about smoking. I always feel guilty when I wake up and feel like I cheated. Don't let it get you down! You're doing great! Just keep vaping.

Slightly off topic, but I had to share this here... we're trimming the tree tonight, and our tree topper for the past 33 years has been a little snowman my mother made during her first christmas with my father (I was on the way and they couldn't afford ornaments, so she made some).

When I was four, the snowman topper lost one of his googly eyes, so mom was going to throw him away. For some reason or another, this struck me as some horrific metaphor for life, and I went to her in tears, telling her that if she wouldn't throw *me* away, it wasn't fair to throw away the snowman just because he lost an eye. She offered to replace the eye, at which point I told her she just didn't *get* it - it should be *okay* that the snowman had lost an eye, because it was *okay* to be disabled at my house. Right? Right?!

The snowman got an eyepatch, instead. In the years since, parts have continued to wear away or fall off, and by tradition, we repair him with whatever we have lying around - so he now has an eyepatch, a crutch, a prosthetic nose, etc.

This year, when we took him out of the box, the wire (to wire him to the branch) had gone missing. "I think it might be time to retire gimpy Frosty," Mom said to me. "Hang on a minute," I answered, pulling out some 28g kanthal.

Gimpy Frosty endures yet another year.

That is a fantastic story!

I'm sorry, but I need clarification; does that mean I was bad, or good?

thanx....i got lots of hair. always doing something different with it.

vaping jamaican rum tonite. one of my top 5 fave juices.

 

[kelli]

because of the weather....and the fact that we came upon 2 accidents on RT 57 today we turned around and came back home and did not make our Chicago run today......so next weekend it is!!!!!

yeah it was a little dicey getting around this morning. i had to go to the bank and pet store (after spending hours shoveling out the driveway....wow is that snow heavy!) and saw lots of cars in the ditches. probably all women, of course.

 

[roonies]

That is the sweetest story!! Thank you for sharing. It made my day!!

I had a weak moment the other day and came very close to having one - if I kept any in the house, I would have. It happens. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Is it safe for me to get out from cover now? I promise to be good & not say anything bad about women drivers again.


till next time

I have a feeling you were born a very old soul....a good thing my friend.

I have both apologized and congratulated my mother many times since... apologized, because I didn't mean to make her feel guilty, and congratulated her on such an ingenious solution. I don't know if I would have had the presence of mind to handle things with such aplomb in her situation - still new to the whole idea of being a parent to disabled kids, and with a sobbing four year old trying to explain why an ornament was the be-all end-all of some sort of complex disability rights/equality argument. To top it all off, my sister was just barely a year old at the time, so it's not like mom didn't have other things to do... but she had me watch my sister, got out her sewing stuff and cut Frosty an eyepatch. She's a very, very cool mom.

Vaping some Root Beer, about to switch to White Ice for a while... can't vape the latter for very long at a time, but it's tasty stuff.

Seanchai that is a really great story. I.m thinking that a really great book could be written, with that as a central theme if not the whole plot.
It really is a heart warming story, from the begining to this year, the whole thing.

you are so right. i could read sean's musings all day. his words touch my heart, make me sad and happy all at the same time. quite a talent. ♥

You're so nice, I will try to be good.








but not too hard

Mixing caramel candy and moo juice is AWESOME!

On another note, I had some medical tests done this week. Getting old sucks. They had a sign that the medical campus is going smoke-free including cars in the lot on the first of the year. I asked the tech about the e-cig policy, and the response was there wasn't one. I happily vaped away, and let the tech use my spare travel 350 ego and clearo loaded with moo juice while I was there. (Tech was trying to quit smoking.). By the time I was done, the tech was sold on vaping, so I gave her a MBV business card and the ECF website.

Does anyone here rebulid Protank coils with cotton? I have tried and it floods every time! I always use cotton in my dripper and I put enough cotton on the protank head where it will slide easily like in my dripper cause I know it expands with the juice and you don't want it too tight cause it could choke the coil. What am I doing wrong?
