I know sir, but my point is you'll find that anywhere at any age.... I know plenty who switch to a different vendor or type and suddenly feel they know everything there is to know...... May have only been here for 3 months officially, spent 3 months lurking and saw quite a lot of it then, still do now..... And as they say, arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand......

Touche!!!:2cool:

I'm suddenly reminded of a lyric to one of my favorite songs Ms. Keelalagirl... I'm starting to think taking a break from here is the wisest decision I have left.... This place used to bring me alot of joy, lately just frustration......

Oh doll....if that is what you need, then by all means. You will be missed and I totally get the frustration. I find myself biting my lip from time to time as well. I know of another that had to leave for a bit too. Just don't stay gone...too many would oh so miss you! *hugs*

I couldn't help but laugh at this thread title! I'm waiting on my divorce to be final from, you guessed it, a woman named Nellie! It was an amicable separation, and we've been apart for over a year. Things are good now. Negative Nellie is what I am! ROFL!!

To the thread topic: Ask em if they'd like to go on a hike or a jog or a bike ride. Tell them you could probably keep up and/or pass em up while puffin on your "crack pipe" or "one hitter".

Thank you Ms. Keelalagirl. If I do go on sabbatical it wouldn't be for long (hopefully)... I would miss you all. I know I talk a lot, but at least I can say there has never been any arrogance behind it, and it's never been from a point to rack up posts, etc.... I like to talk, I like taking things ot (like right now, this is my comfort zone, to be unpredictable and heart felt).... I've always felt the best conversations are the ones that grow organically... When I do offend someone, I feel bad for it (ask Ms. Eleanor or Ms. Star) and do my best to fix whatever issue I may have caused...... I don't need the last word, nor do I ever act like I know all about everything...... So yes, it's getting to me....

I haven't had anyone to be negative about it. Even though my dad ask me if I still have to use it. He use to be a smoker and had to quit, after triple by-pass surgery, back in 1991, then he continuously kept telling me to stop smoking, which made me madder than hell. Now that I have, I vape in his house all of the time. LOL

Most people that I'm around, want to find out more. So I give them the whole sales pitch, and a business card, and show them how it works.

I laugh at myself, though, because I tell my husband that it looks like I have a .... lab, in my little plastic storage container, but I haven't had anyother negativity, from anyone.​

Yes. I tell them they are an idiot and walk away. People are absolute rubbish. That may sound harsh but lately, I have zero patience with everything thats going on these days for ignorance and or stupidity.

There is always somebody hating. Until our ego's are gone, this is the way it will stay.

Ms. Keelalagirl I'll never be able to convince you all that I'm an awful person will I? Thank you :) This is why I'm torn.... On one hand there are so many here I enjoy reading and talking with, and truly do feel that family connection. On the other, well.....

No sir you will not!!! As long as your dark side is not without reason...you are a good guy in my book!!!

When I have had people asking my if it's a one hitter or a crack pipe.. I just smile and say what ever it is I'm smoking is some really good sh&t and I don't share :)

If someone said that to me I guess I'd just say; "I have no idea what either of those are hon, or what they look like, but I'm interested to hear how you know about these things"

When I hit 40 the little box in my brain that registers anything negative that people say just turned off. Life is good!
Either that or I'm going deaf. rut ro!
You know what they say, "accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, and don't mess with Mr. in between". What can I say, it's a beautiful day and I felt like breaking out in song....you gave me a reason, so it's all your fault.

Been vaping for 3+ weeks... have no intentions of EVER going back to analogs...

This past weekend, went out to dinner with the in-laws... my mother-in-law is negative about EVERYTHING... she's a heavy smoker and tried vaping but doesn't think much of it... when she heard that my wife and I both have given up analogs, she scoffed, said it would never last and we would be back to analogs... I said "wanna bet?"... she sticks her hand out and says "I'll bet you $100 that you will be back to analogs within a year"

That $100 will buy a bunch of vaping supplies...lol...

Yes, but in my original post I was referring to the kids who tried e-cigs from a junk vender and though they knew all about them.

the first thing I say to people when they ask me if Im using an "electronic cigarette" is ya but its not one of those crappy mall kiosk or gas station ones. this one actually works! I havent had a cig in almost half a year now. I dont miss it and this is sooo tasty! here try it! and then bam instant coolness... ok lol not always. but one drunk person said I was so future! All I know is I dont tell smokers they are gross and try to get them to buy a pv. I just vape away and lead by example. Ive had a couple people ask me to help them buy a kit! and Ive been handing out cards to those with questions. :) its all I can do. I get very tired of explaining!

I love my little cards. Gave a few to the guy who owns the bowling alley I go to. He lets us vape so I figure if he gets a complaint he can give them out.
