It is because a lot of jobs are stressful and people handle stress differently that I retracted my statement. What I perceive as stressful another may find a walk in the park. Take Clark's former profession: I could not handle that at all. I did a brief stint (pun not intended) by falling back on nursing several years ago. I chose Geriatrics and it was heart breaking for me every day. I was so relieved to get back to I.T. again. Even though I have days with high stress, it is nothing compared to watching patients die every day and the immense sorrow their families feel while waiting for it to happen.

It wasn't right for me to make a statement that insinuates people who don't have jobs as Emergency Responders or in I.T. have less stress, not having walked a mile in their shoes.



I did not see and/or feel that you were insinuating anything like that.
You expressed your honest opinion. In this age of double-speak and political correctness - I respect and admire people that can still "tell it like it is". Yes, there is a difference between brutal and rigorous honesty, but I always see you on the latter side.

You're all good in my book, even if you don't have a Reo (yet). :wub:

I worked in a hospital as a form of self-chosen personal therapy after a major error (by them) years back. I initially chose Psycho Geriatrics and it was indeed heart-breaking. After 18 months, I moved to theatre for 6 months, and then decided I'd done all I could on a personal level and went back to my comfort zone at the time: buyer in the industrial field.
Then, thankfully, 26 years ago, I found what I do best :)

I am so very, very sorry for the place you are at the moment.
Me too - It is hard.

You are such a wonderful person. Thank you for helping me in ways you probably don't realize.

I could get a Reo, but it would not get used as often as most people use theirs. I don't use the same mod/atty/juice from one hour to the next and often change out flavors in the space of 10 minutes. 7 Reo's would not be possible to lug back and forth to work, I would end up putting them in a drawer in frustration. Plus, it would not be doable for me to "hide" them in the 1860's and that much juice in the horrible heat would get ruined.

We're the same way...always changing flavors. 8 KFL's are alot cheaper than 8 REOS. Although we do have 2 REOS :p

Can a curmudgeon be wonderful? LOL
This is "family" - we do what we have to do to help each other out . . . .

Don't worry about the Reo stuff. Taki' and I are duty bound to offer that information to all that enter the NT realm. Your setup(s) work for you and that's what really counts.

Me, too, this. Switch around between 8 or 9 everyday flavors and a handful of once in a while flavors. Reo is out of the question for me.

I am expecting my first REO today and I have mixed feelings! I usually have 10 or more juices going at one time, so the egos and MVP and a multitude of tanks makes me very happy! I really wanted to try the REO but I plan to only dedicate it to the top 2 or 3 favorites of my NT juices. Right now I have no plans of ever owning more than 1 or 2. There will always be a place in my pro tanks, spinners and MVP for the majority of my juices because I love to switch juices constantly, so the fact that I will be able to drip in the REO is a good thing. If it were not for the dripping capability, I doubt that I would have even gotten this first one. Most of you know I have been on the fence of Do I or Don't I for a long time! I also had a coil making class today at DFW Vapor and at least I know I can do it if somewhere down the road I get stuck with only the option of disposable e cigs! But with a REO or without a REO, we are all doing great! We are vapers and NOT smokers!

So, did it show up - the verdict?

Hipsters are still moving to Portland? Theyve been moving there since the late 90s. Hey, just dont move back to Lawrence and jack up the prices ok? Actually do that, the house next to us just sold this week for 159k. 8 years ago when we bought our house the same house sold for 189k. SMH property values are still plummeting here

Unrelated to the thread and a late response yes.. But our home dropped over 100k in value over the last decade. 162k -> just over 50k according to this year's assessment. ....

Manny - before I even read your location, I knew you were from Michigan, too. Probably one of the worst states in the country for this situation. What county are you in? Our current home is re-approaching the value it had when we bought it in 1996, after a really bad few years. Back in the day we thought we would sell it and retire happily ever after. It was a fantasy. I hope your area will see an upturn soon. Things are coming back, but slowly.

I'm in Wayne County, Wyandotte. Yeah.. It really sucks, we had planned to move, and should have done it when we had the chance to. There's no way I'm offloading this house for 50k and change. We have a house in Taylor too, the value is down to 32k. Definitely not digging our market here in Michigan lol.

The forecast in Taylor isn't looking too good, the value is projected to stay stagnant, the Wyandotte house is looking to increase a bit though, so I guess there's a little good with the bad.

Chiwen that is so awful!!! I'm sooo sorry!! :cry:

Thanks for the sympathy Meg, but I look at it like this; at least we still have a place to call home and lay our heads. A lot of people here in MI lost everything they had, a lot of which got bought up super cheap by people that flip the houses for a profit. Can't knock em for making the money, the whole thing just seems dirty to me on a whole. It really sucks.

The home values here in Omaha, at least in my area, have remained relatively stable despite the lower trend in the national market. Unemployment has remained low. There was excess stock on the market for a couple years which drove down new constructions - the foreclosures got snapped up as rental properties, and the people who might have sold a hole to either upgrade/downgrade opted to stay in their homes and renovate. I haven't seen any upside, but I feel fortunate I didn't take much of a hit, either.
