Rest easy ... think of it as buying inexpensive spare parts kits. Then it's not buying 'more vape gear' just maintenance supplies for your current inventory.

I got vape mail today! OK, I will admit it, I got the Kayfun Mini and the Kayfun Lite mixed up. However, I like this tank. It has a bit of a tighter draw which is fine by me. The only drawback is the tank did not come with a clear glass. It came with a SS insert. I was able to use one of the clear glass from the Kayfun V3. I have a few extra V3 glass so it isn't a problem.

Dear Porchers,
Just received a call from Patrick. Ginny passed away sometime during the night. They 'found' her this morning.
Patrick was very lucid and seemed to be holding up well, considering. He's just stunned by the rapidity of Ginny's deterioration.
I inquired as to his well being and he said he might have gladly gained three pounds. He'll receive his new prosthetics this week and hopes to go to his daughter's place by the weekend. He'll get his own place once everything settles down.
He mentioned that the kids had only one more load to empty his house and put that in storage.
Patrick sends his love to all of his Porcher friends. "Kind of funny how one can become friends without ever meeting them!" (his words)
Rest in Blessed Peace, sweet Ginny!

Iffy, thank you for letting us know about Ginny's passing. Even though we knew the end was close, the reaction still hits hard,
When you speak to Pat again, please extend my deepest condolences and let him know how much he is loved.
REST IN PEACE, GINNY
@2legsshrt, I was heartbroken to hear of Ginny's passing today and it's hard to put into words how deeply sorry I am for you.
I've caught a bit of what's been going on with you and Ginny on the BP and now I regret not chiming in earlier to express my encouragement and sympathy. Please don't even think that anything that's happened, to you or to her, is in any way your fault. Do what it takes to get better and get yourself to the other side of the Cascades, there's a very special little dog over there that needs you. I'm sure Ginny was fully expecting you to take care of it in her absence, it's what she wanted you to do now.
I have no words of wisdom over the loss of a loved one, I never handled it well. Most of those close to me that passed on were in their late 90s and while still tough, they had a good run. I still ache for those friends that have passed away before their time, not one of them deserved it.
Our last dog was one of the great loves of my life and I firmly believe the emergency vet we took him to killed him to cover up her incompetency. Our regular vet agrees. What helped me to a degree was to light a tea candle in a special holder every night for him. When I can't use a candle (hotel room or whatever), I use a battery operated one. I've been doing it a month and a half shy of nine years now. Perhaps dumb but that little ritual has sustained me for years.
Legs, just know that the "Flaming Tutu" sends you her deepest, sincerest condolences. I can't imagine the pain you are in right now but dearly wish you a full recovery and that you find a way to keep on going, so many people love you including those of us on the porches.
Keep in touch in when you are able or pass the word on to somebody else who can post here.
Sincerely, Lisa

Well today i'm being discharged put into the cold cruel world. I don't know if I'm ready. Now I don't have Ginny to help me. So I am only 1/2 of a perdson. I have forgotten how to be someone. I don't remember what it's like to be only 1. Almost everyday for the last 35 years she has been there. This takes $1600 away from my pension so I only get $3500 a month to live on instead of $5100 so will have to be somewhat more frugal. It's enough if I don't want anything I guess. I would gladly give them $3500 a month to have her back. It's just not right. I still have you guys but as far as good friends I have none. Neither did she we had each other and that was enough. You know in 35 years I don't ever remember have a big fight, ever. We were all we needed. If I went first she still had all of those brothers and sisters.
I don't even know if I want to leave Spokane. I suppose it is the right thing to do. Man I can't keep my eyes open keep wanting to fall asleep. Have to get used to the rain all the time again. Although the weather like everyone else, has changed somewhat and it is not as rainy as it used to be, still.
Hey does anyone know what the little fairy on the Dr. Pepper commercials supposed to be. He has been on them for at least a couple of years. Maybe when I eat I'll wake up some but that usually works tthe opposite of that.d I'm just thinking out loud so I will get off of here, I keep falling asleep with a finger on the keyboard and typing one letter or anot fora few minuts. I'm gone

Well I am a little care, going to Get out today got a bunch of places to go they said we are leaving tomorrow. I hope I can get it down. I can't get into her house by myself. That is going to be the pits. I almodt eidh I had just stayed here. They think that they have custody of me, I don't like that. Gonna have to have an understanding. I am going to look at places over there. I miss Ginny so much its like more everyday. She made me a whole peerson. I won't be able to let you guys know how it goes for a couple of days. I know its going to be so different. I will definitely Keep you guys informed. They still haven't cremated Ginny, They have to have a death certificat first ad they are draggin their feet some. my life is such a turmoil I don't know how it will go. Worried a lot.
You know I really didn’t realize what a smart girl she is. She just looks at things like bill and she has it down
Just finished a lil' phone visit with Patrick. He called to let us know that he is home for the night with his DIL. Tomorrow they will head over to his daughter's where he'll be staying 'til he's up to finding his own place.
Pat has his new prosthetics and they're functional. But he will have to have them adjusted at a later date. Plus his hearing aids (at 50% efficiency) will need attention also.
Again, he mentioned all the love, care and support that the Porchers have demonstrated!
Here's hoping that this is his low point! I know that his memories of Ginny will be with him forever. As I told him, she is watching over him like she did on this earth. God's loving blessings to both!
PS: He said he'll get back with us as he can...

It will be fine, Legs. Yes, a big adjustment but you can do this. Just take it slowly. If there is something you aren't ok with just say so. If you are having mobility problems with something just explain it. They love you & will try to take care of you, but people without these issues sometimes just don't know what is a problem, much less what direction to go to begin adjustments. They've all been to your home so have an idea of what they can do for you, but you have to speak up. No one can read your mind, darlin'!
Thanks for keeping us updated, Iffy!

Hope the trip was easy, @2legsshrt. Not the best day in the year to be traveling.
I get the being scared part as we're looking at having to make some big changes in the near future and it's giving me nightmares. You are very lucky to have such loving and dedicated family. Please let us know how it's going when you can.
