I'll share a little about myself. (My entry doesn't count of course)

I discovered e-cigs while working a shift at the VA hospital (Respiratory therapist). I was browsing slickdeals looking for deals.. and a thread said "Electronic Cigarette Deals." I thought to myself, huh, what is this. I've never heard of them. So I did some investigation, bought a DSE-905.... This was back in June of 2009. I was so impressed by it, that I wanted to participate somehow. So ecigexpress was born in June of 2009.

Working in the ICU and seeing all of the smoking related problems made this even more exciting for me.

My youngest son sustained a severe traumatic brain injury on January 11th, 2004 through no fault of his own when he was 19 years old. It no longer bothers me if I find his dirty clothes on the floor cause the hours at his hospital bed were unbearable. I am thankful for the day I stopped mourning for what I had lost and started celebrating what I have. He will be moving into his own apartment this year and I am so proud of him :)

Well my nickname hairball was given to me by my Mom many years ago. My hair is 3/4ths the way down my back plus 6 dogs and 5 cats awarded me...a hairball. I love old 80's rock music, Chevy 4x4's, and playing with my critters. I have a 22 year old daughter and I'm married (feel sorry for me please)...j/k. My favorite 3 juices as of today are DK-Tab, V4L's No. 7, and Premium Tobacco (I love the sweet taste). My favorite PV? Read my signature..LOL. I don't just have one favorite. I work in a hot stinky factory and totally hate my job but it pays the bills.

Thank you for the contest and I wish everyone a prosperous new year.

Thanks for the contest!

Back in September 2010, I was on a make-up forum asking the other girls for tips on quitting stinkies.
A lovely member PM'd me and told me about ecigs and directed me to ECF.

Well, there was so much information on here, it was a bit confusing.
I sussed it out but was still reluctant. Finally, around New Years, I said enough is enough and I ordered an Ego.

It has now been about a year of being smoke-free. My family is so proud of me. I am proud of myself, but I know there is NO WAY I could have done it without Ecigs and ECF to support me.

Sorry for the repost, apparently I dropped this in the wrong thread first. Thanks for the contest, here's my entry:

In 2005, a week before Christmas to the day, our oldest daughter accidentally burned our house down. Everyone got out alive, including all pets, but the house was a total loss. If you had asked me the day before what it would be like to lose everything you've ever owned, I'd have said devastating.

That night, shivering in the cold with my family huddled around me across the street from my burning house, I was struck with the realization that I had everything I wanted right there with me, that the rest of it was all just stuff. It was a pivotal moment for me, and I'm nowhere near as materialistic as I was before the fire. I don't think any of us are. It was a terrible family experience, but it was also a wonderful one in that we all grew a bit. Together.

This is something I am not proud of! This happened back in June of 1989 it was a 1979 Z28 Camaro and was very fast. Not set up for ¼ mile but, top end. She would do around 170 mph. I know this because it was on radar on the interstate highway at 168 mph (no they did not catch me but heard it from my locale PD they where looking for someone going that fast) I know just plain DUMB!

On that night back in 1989 I was having a bad day and was drowning it with tequila (several bottles). After a good fight (mostly arguing, I was raised to never hit a girl) with the girl friend at the time and left her place to go home. On the way home I went by a State Trooper at 80-90 mph and did not wont to deal with them and hit the pedal. As I was coming into another small town from where I live there was the locale police at the locale dinner’s parking lot(can not out run a radio). As he was turning around to follow me, I hit the gas again and made a right turn and then a another left to head back home. On the strait away I was going to open it up a see-u-later-good-by. From what I can remember I saw the LP gas place and remembered that a turn was coming up and tried to down shift but, was going way to fast around 130 mph and made the very bad mistake of just touching the brakes and stated to slide and then nothing but BLACK.

When I came back to this world it was 3 days later, in the hospital with my mom and brother and sisters all around me. I said what going on and one of my sister pasted out. I remember looking at my brother and said I wish I had that affect on all the girls. The next day the team of doctors and surgeons came in and I remember one of them saying “this is the man that is not suppose to be here”. Wow you talk about a eye opener! Finding out what happened to me from them. A smashed hip, broken jaw, chest and face lacerations internal injury’s (a list as long as my arm) nerve damage from the hip injury and on and on. After a long stay in one of the most expensive hotels I have ever been in(the hospital) for 2 ½ months and about a year to learn how to walk again. The bill for the hotel stay was around $196,000.00 plus .

Well moving ahead some years of trying to find who I am now. I find the most wonderful person on the earth. With the love and understanding of what only a lady can give you in life. Life got a hole lot better. Trying to make a living on disability is not possible. So I had to figure out how to get paid from the neck up instead of the neck down. So back to school and then collage for this new field of computers. At the time every body and they brother had the same idea too.

Well a few more years and a opening for a dispatcher’s position came open and said to myself, “self why not, can not be that hard“. Well the first day I said “what have I got myself into” but, that was long ago now. With the benefits and health ins. I was able to get a new hip replacement and a new knee replacement and this was the start of yet another person in my life. I like this person, he enjoys life now! He is not so pent up on things in life but, to live life.

So what am I trying to say “DON’T DRINK and DRIVE“!

I’m not looking to hear sorry for any part of this. I’m looking for any person to think before you drink and get behind the wheel. Becuse it can happen to you. That's all!

First pic is what she looked like. 2nd well you will get it.

My neighbor and best friend lost her job due to our "wonderful" economy and her unemployment ran out. Plainly put, there aren't very many jobs available in our area unless you only want to work 10-20 hours a week for minimum wage. Since town is so far, it's just not worth the drive but she's not giving up the search. Her hubby is our mailman but even still, having several growing boys, money is really tight. I try to help as much as possible and the one thing I did, was get her and hubby onto vaping. When her supplies run low, and no money to buy new, she always comes over and raids my stash. I don't mind at all. I would rather her do that, than the 2 killing themselves smoking. If I won this, I would have her come over and dig through your website. They can't even afford internet. I know, right-off-the-bat, she would want the Premium Tobacco. Both of my bottles woundup in her stash...LOL. At least this would be a good way for me to at least enjoy a bottle also (I made her give me back a 3ml sample bottle of it...I had to get my fix too). It would help her and her husband tremendously.

Merry Christmas folks and/or have a wonderful holiday season. A new year and new hope is just around the corner.

I had a hamster named Vanilla as a child and my sister had one named Chocolate. :)

Tinybells I had one too! My hamsters name was Gypsy. My hamster lived three years which I think is really long for a hamster. During that time my sister had more than one :lol:. She had..... Cinnamon, Sugar, Cocoa and COPYRIGHTDMCA. When she got Sugar she got a bonus, she was pregnant and had 4 babies (1 died). So she had 7 hamsters in the time I had 1. We had those plastic balls you put them in so they can run around the house but not get lost.
