Legs...glad you are going to the doctor...my tongue is sore from biting it !!

Went to my sister's today and picked up her old hutch. She's been using it in the laundry room.
It needs a little tlc...but I have a vaping cabinet now !!

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

Oh that's going to be so much fun organizing you 'stuff' in that cabinet. We re-purposed an old secretary for vape 'stuff'.

I used to visit Vegas regulary back in the early 80's - I must have been on the same diet plan. :rolleyes: I came out a head a few times, but at least I had the foresight to always set a limit for losing and always stuck to it - I was there to enjoy myself - not trying to get poor or rich for that matter... I had no limit on the few nights that I cam out as a winner, but there always seemed a point that I did not want to push my luck and would head out the door to keep what I had won in tact... :D
I was on a ship in the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia. We used to go to Atlantic CIty at least once a month. I always took no more than I could afford to lose which at the time was around what I would have spent at a local bar on a Friday night. If I was winning I would slip chips into my pocket as I won and the amount got above what I had come in with. Never took it out again and when the original amount was done so was I. There were 4 of us that went together pretty much every time. On of the guys was playing roulette when the rest of us were done. I went over and told him to wrap it up. He then proceeded to tell me that he was up $14,000 dollars and was on the streak of his life. He told us to leave him and he would catch the next bus back to Philly. I shouldn't have left him, I know that now. The next morning he was missing at morning muster. Turns out he lost every penny he had won and what he had came with. Didn't even have bus fare. We had to run out to AC at lunch time and get him. He had slept on a bench in front of the casino and begged a phone call the next morning. What a shame. :shock:

So that leg dropped about 12" I was going to say a foot but needless to say that wouldn't sound right. Made for a hell of a shock when you take a step and there is nothing there
Actually, It kind of does. Not only did you drop 12" but apparently you also dropped a foot. :)

I just claimed the top shelf of one of the kitchen cabinets. Doree doesn't really use it cause she can't reach it. :)


:lol:

This house is so much smaller than what we had in California...tiny kitchen.
We got tired of being the Vacation Spot so we downsized big time :lol:

Hard to like this one, Matt. It's so easy to forget that the odds are never in your favor. I'm glad y'all hustled on back for him.

I had a 5 day honeymoon in Vegas in '84. Paid for the whole thing, including 2 shows, in the first 6 hours we were there. I was playing nothing but dollar slots.

While I agree that the iStick 50/Subtank mini would be an excellent setup. I have to wonder about the battery issues that the 50 had early on. Never heard what the problem was. If a definite fix has not been identified for the 50 maybe the 30 would be a better choice.

Haven't got a 50 (yet, since I don't sub-ohm nor TC and I only vape 'round 15W to 20W wid my Naughties)). But I will say I do appreciate da TC40W iStick in dat it has da option to select a stealth mode where when 'fired' da display does not 'announce' (aka no display when fired).

Would appreciate a link to da 50 problem. TIA...


...talk about tearing through juice! :facepalm:

TBTH, I'd gladly double my DIY quantities if I would garner a superior vapin' experiences vs. my current enjoyment!


Cause I'm a simpleton!

Ouch! I've yet to venture into within your capabilities: maybe some day...

Sweetheart, you're an inspiration, in more ways than one!

Here ya go ... we had 2 of 'em w/ the infamous auto-fire problem. Click on the picture for video. It was just sitting peacefully on the end table ... doing its own thing.



Janet had one on her night table, the tank was almost full. In the morning the tank was almost empty and had a liquid build up around the outside base of the tank. It must have been auto-firing all night long. On / off / on / off .... yikes!

I never heard of an update w/ a fix for it.
