Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Five

[Semiretired]

@Semiretired In the first old folks thread, you made no mention of your annual trips to the Philippines. Is that a more recent thing? Given your wife's connection to the community you work in, I doubt it. You were a lot more talkative back then.

No, been doing the annual trips with my wife for about 12 years I guess, but have been doing work in the Philippines since the early 80's...

I was more talkative back then because my job at the time was sitting in front of 5 to 7 monitors and having one on ECF was easy.

Also, I opened up more about my life as I got to know ya'll better.

What a meaningful journey down memory lane!

 

[Lannie]

I wish I had known some of these people.

I wish I had known some of these people.

As already said....many have come and gone.....but there are still many good people here, and more will come....

Utterly speechless.

I've always had a great respect for Uncle Willie... which just increased tenfold.

The good news is, the window of opportunity to join the Collective (or Zoo, Asylum, etc, whatever .. ) .. is always open ..

"Gimme Shelter" .. ..

Are you also wearing a polyester knit suit, rings on your fingers, bells on your toes?

Is KangerTech Mini rba engraved on the chimneys? They may be just as good, but if they don't have that engraving then I don't think they're authentic. Plus, fasttech doesn't claim they're OEM.

Yes it is BB Says Kangertech mini RBA Plus

At the moment I am speechless thinking about Willie's awesome tributes, so I will just say Thank You. I never gave myself the opportunity to enjoy our founders, but I truly respect and thank them for bringing this fabulous group of people together.

Save the World by Folding at Home on your PC Basically, people with high-power home computers can donate otherwise unused computer resources to research projects, especially cancer.

I do it with my little laptop, too. Just runs in the background, don't even know it's there.

 

[misswish1]

Uncle Willie, thank you so much! You always seem to bring us the perfect words and music, and touch my heart.

Ask Sandra ..

...............I'll never tell....

 

[umanbean]

...............I'll never tell....

And ya better not missy... good onya!

Gotta bug out good folks. Need to start a campfire out back and light the Coleman lanterns... never can tell when a party might break out...

Oh, I hope what I said didn't sound like I ONLY wanted to know those people! I like everybody here! But I was gettin' all teary-eyed reading those tributes and I didn't even know them. Makes me wish I had...

I need to go hug my sweet cow. I just lost her mother in September and I still miss her. I know that's just a cow and not a person, but when you have a connection to a milk cow (and she was the bestest and most sweetest one that ever walked the Earth), it hurts bad to lose them. Almost as much as losing a person. Her daughter inherited her sweetness and her personality, though, and I treasure her. Whenever I feel down, I hug a cow, they always understand and they never think I'm being silly.

Don't listen to me, I'm rambling again. Just in one of those moods, apparently. Missing all the ones that have gone on ahead, some more than others, I guess.

I need to go make some more JOOSE! That will make me happy! I didn't get my gihugic flavor order today like I was expecting. It seems to be "lost" somewhere between here and North Carolina. They'd better find it and bring it to me on Monday!

and of course, even if it is engraved, it's not a guarantee that it's authentic, tons of counterfeits out there with all the markings.

No such things as "just a cow" or other animal. Many animals will love you more devotedly than some people. Hope you get your flavorings soon, and we're all very glad that at least y'all are here now!!

Scott, sorry you had nightmares, that stinks!

Willie, beautiful tributes and memories as always. Any chance the video tribute you did for Tx can be dl'd??? I noticed it's not on YT anymore. Each time I think of him, of course his dancing comes to mind, but so does his great love for his grandchildren and the joy he got from them

No worries.....wasn't taken that way at all....just wanted to encourage you as to the great folks that are still here....and hopefully any others who may join in with us in future.

Ramble all you want..... I was kind of hoping your hubby would bring his story about your chicken over here.....
