If I could go out I could go back to the motel and get my stuff. But this is a huge show (weekend is what used to be sponsored by Eukanuba) so with scarce parking and $10 to park (with no reentry, you leave you pay again, and good luck finding a parking spot anywhere in the vacinity), leaving for anywhere ain't happening. I will ration myself and hope to be busy.

Have a 20 month old boy who I am letting grow up before I seriously show him. Geordi is a porcher cuz he has grown up here. I haven't been able to get to the hangout lately, but Geordi always accompanies me when I can.

Perhaps a little good news. Senator Johnson and Rep Hunter's letter to VP-Elect Pence...

Moderate letter, however, Pence would need to know how to READ and COMPREHEND. I'm guessing it won't line his pockets, so it will be "File 13"

I don't expect much. Pence signed a very nasty law in Indiana putting most vape companies there out of business.
Indiana Call to Action - Stop the Monopoly
It was reported that the FBI was investigating for possible corruption, I don't expect much from that either.
Sadly cynical today. Fortunately, I have a stock of mods, atties and nicotine to keep me happily vaping.
ROFL
Been there, done that ... only it was just three cigarettes left in the pack back then.
Didn't make it to Group that day so at least it was an early exit.
Maybe no smokes was WHY it was an early exit.

I hope it's not too tough for you. Good luck.
I really wanted to come to the show but it's too expenssive

Shouldn't cost anything to just go watch.
Now entrance fees, motels, transportation, and so on, that is a different matter.
However my wife never had a problem contributing a couple of hundred to the vendors.
lmao.........that's nuts!
well I wuz gonna say it is just something Gary says a lot, no idea where he picked it up....... til Cathy outted me
jup, just sumpthin I say for yup and all the other agreeing words. So.......I may have some idea where Gary picked it up, but truly have no idea where I picked it up. wow.......this was slow, but made it much easier for me to catch up. Reckin a lotta folks are busy with Christmas stuff. I've had dr appts and trying to go through and find places for some of the craft stuff I got outta storage.So where has everyone gone??I don't think I've ever seen this long a break in either porch.
hope it wasn't too bad. I have wanted to go to any dog show in person forever...... but would especially love to go to one that you're at, whether showing or working. I've spent a ton of time at craft shows by myself, always stinks that ya can't leave. You can maybe get someone from a neighboring booth to watch yours while you go potty if they have two people, but leaving don't usually happen. It should never be a thing that vendors even have to pay for parking.......should be in your vendor fee, but at the very least, you should not have to pay to reenter!
I'd like to feel positively about this...... but yeah I don't expect anything good from Pence on the vaping front. At least Johnson is writing letters, but even his letters to the FDA demanding certain things were ignored, and as far as I know he didn't do anything else about it, except write more letters. At least he did it, but it accomplished nothing. I'd seen his letter, just didn't get too excited about it, but...I'm glad you posted it, it is good to know what folks are doing.Perhaps a little good news. Senator Johnson and Rep Hunter's letter to VP-Elect Pence...

I was told the entrance fee was $20 per person plus $10 for parking. That equals to $50 for hubby and me plus gas. A little over my current budget.Shouldn't cost anything to just go watch.

so there.
Yay! You got to the storage for your stuff! Woohoo! I had appt with RA Dr this morning. Went very smoothly so I'm happy!

That's great news. Hubby had RA for years and back then they only treated it with mega doses of aspirin which eventually caused permanent ringing in his ears. I hope you are able to control yours with something safer.
Luckily hubby's RA went into remission several years ago but went into gout
. Luckily he's able to control that with diet.Thankfully it's almost 7. How are you doing? Were you able to pace yourself and make that small amount last well enough?
But being a vendor there is no leaving early..ROFL

Lumping some of these together. During the week in the regular Orlando clubs shows. No spectator fee but parking is $10 and good luck finding a spot. They are shuttling people from other parking lots. The big show is Saturday and Sunday. Yea, then parking PLUS $20/head to get in. As vendors we get passes for entry but we still have to pay the $10 parking fee. Every day. $70 just in parking fees! Plus booth rent is $1800. Yep! Normal vendor fees are 200-400 depending on the show and the number of days.
I will say entries for the regular show are over 3,000 dogs. 3,800+ Wed, over 4,000 Thursday. Friday is specialties so hard to determine (a specialty is just one breed competing, but there are multiple specialties). Unheard of entries for any show in many years.
Enough of the dog show lesson. I made it through the day. I was very frugal in the morning and actually developed a headache. I don't get headaches. Come noon I went and had a nice vape session while walking dogs. Headache went away. The afternoon I was busy braiding leads, my hands were busy so not as hard. I think the hardest part was knowing I was limited in my juice on hand. All better now back in the motel. And we had a good $ day.

I thought about you throughout the day with so little to vape. I would panic if I forgot my vape gear.
Attending the weekend show was what we talked about and couldnt afford that just now…besides hubby couldnt take another day off so soon.
Let me know what's the next show you'll be going to…maybe we can make it.
