I'll put my two cents on this whole us vs them situation (or the illusion thereof):
Threads like this survive because they rely on the accountability of each member. Instead of having big rules from up top, each member holds the others accountable. It's the same format we follow on my forum and, while things went sideways for the first couple weeks, they realized there was no thrill in tempting their fate against rules that didn't exist and it died down. We are now happily successful and I rarely have to hand out bans; when I do, it's because someone is literally beyond useless to the progression of a discussion.
Long story short, this thread works and feels comfortable because everyone allows that to happen. While it can be tedious to catch up from time to time, the squirrels make up for it.

Finding employment in Florida is probably the most difficult task anyone faces. Florida has an influx of population ranging in the 300,000 to 400,000 people yearly, and only about half of those people are retirees (who are more a drain on Florida's economy than anything else because they are notoriously cheap. The only market that flourishes is real estate). Probably about a quarter of that influx is people moving to central florida to have their "dream" job of working for Disney World, and a lot of those fail within the first year and end up in poverty.
FLorida is not an easy place to find work. As bad as it is everywhere else, it is worse there. Dusty will find something eventually but if the rest of the country is waiting 6 months for something to come up, it can take longer in Florida. A lot of people who were born and raised there are being forced out by the retirees coming in and jacking up real estate prices, but not really contributing to the rest of the economy in any meaningful way, so it is tough and Dusty is doing an awesome job hanging in there and not giving up. Lesser people might have admitted defeat and left. You Go Girl!Clownfish.
As I was born and raised in South Florida I watched it change so dramatically and not for the better, the as they are affectionately called, well some of them anyway "Snowbirds" were fine and people looked forward to them for the most part as they brought extra income in during the winter months. The issue down there is that almost everyone need to be Bi-Lingual in order to find any decent work, this had progressively moved it's way further north. Where I am currently there is the issues also that this is horse country and with the economy the way it has been and still is, is that many businesses that employed quite a large number of people have had to down size or went bankrupt. The area that I live it, there are at least 2 houses vacant for every one that is occupied more in some other areas. It's a beautiful area to live, but finding work is extremely difficult!
OMG my package arrived today and they threw in a free
sample of cucumber mint........
Lol you all are so scared of a flavor like that. I should just request a custom sig:
The Official Recipient for All Unwanted Cucumber Mint Samples
Then again, I'm vaping Organic Bed of Roses...
You didn't, sorry, I'm a little out of sorts, major headache and I mean major, I had to shut the darn blinds and turn the light on the laptop down to low as the light it hurting my eyes, I really need to refrain from posting when I am like this which thankfully has happened much, I don't know what brought these headaches back and on top of that this darn gallbladder is also acting up. I'm going to need to lay down soon after taking the darn pain killers, I really hate those things. So my apologies to you if I came off too gruff, it was not a personal thing, just came out in a bad light. I think I spent too much time in the Outside! Had to get out of there as the IQ levels seem to be extremely low in one particular section and 3 Einsteins!
Never heard them called that before. I'll turn on some Steel Panther & go with you on that one though. As rare as they were, I picked mine up brand new & a few years later I saw someone had one up in the local shop on consignment, same color... I was so tempted. They were only asking 900 for it.
I had the cash on me, but I had to be responsible. OMG my package arrived today and they threw in a free

Me too, miss molly, me too.
You say the problem is the retirees on medicare, I say the problem is the losers, lowlifes, and illegals who are draining the resources and put the onus on those of us who do want to work and be productive. While I can't speak for the medical industry, there are always plenty of construction jobs available for those who aren't too lazy to show up ready to work. Most of the complainers would rather sit in their section 8 subsidized home and watch daytime tv then go out and find work.
My first menthol flavor from anyone was Arctic Wolf from VaporGod. Still, to this date, the most brutal menthol I've come across yet.
But I honestly don't mind menthols as I was smoking a pack of Camel Menthol Silvers every two to three days. So, if nobody has takers locally, just let me know and I'll take them off your hands
Isn't that the truth, when I had first moved up to Ocala from South Florida the first time in 1998 I had a job offer to be the Business Office Manager for a clinic that dealt with Works Comp mostly, they wanted to pay me $9.00 an hour to supervise 12 people, I was like you have to be kidding, this position is one that typically pays in S. Florida $18.00 - 24.00 hr, but is also one that is a salaried position, not hourly, but that is what the pay broke down to. I finally had gotten in the the MRI of Ocala which was closer but had to move back down to S. Fl for a few years.
Yup, Red Grapefruit, I have a little and it's pretty good, not an ADV for me but good for a change up.
I like the Fruit/Citrus ones as well, never tried any of the Tea's except for 1 that was sent to me the Albino Drake one, I do in fact like that one, it's one that I would order again.
Thank you, just waiting for my appointment to be set up when this darn doctor get's back from his vacation, they have already cancelled the appointment twice. Gotta love free clinics, NOT!
