Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[2legsshrt]

I have heard that some menthol will help clear stuff out of your lungs. Now while I don't have menthol I have Koolada. It's been so long if you just want it real lite how much do you use in a 5ml tank like 2 drops or what? Thanks ahead of time. I am planning on just putting it in one tank to hit occasionally.

something you can all do... take a look at the list of signatures. I'm number 171... if you don't have a number, maybe you should get one...

I'm 3587 (I think) and it's over 4600 now.

Uman, that was a great letter and the suggestions were right on the money. Good job! And I'm not sure people even know what real journalism is anymore, at least not the objective or the curiosity part.

I saw you posted, came in to see what it was, saw your picture and, no joke, my computer completely crashed. Melodramatic timing on its part. Boy I bet you can make a mean twisted wire and give good back rubs!





Deb, if it makes you feel any better, I confuse me too. Ken, I do remember those pictures but then someone said it wasn’t Iffy. I either missed or forgot (happening less often but still happens) the “updated” photo. My bad. Rockin’ dancing Snoopy/Iffy!




Me too, even if it is a little iffy.


When my computer crashed, I had up a bunch of articles looking for a quote for Uman. When they all went, I'd only save one paragraph. The following is an excerpt from a story about antidepressants and only mentions Chantix in passing, but still blew my tiny mind. Bold is mine.

The evidence linking antidepressants and violence continues to mount. A 2010 study published in PloS One analyzed adverse drug event reports submitted to the FDA for a five-year period. Only drugs for which at least 200 adverse events were reported were included in the analysis — a total of 484 drugs in all, 11 of which were antidepressants. For each drug, the authors tabulated the incidence of violence case reports, which they defined as physical abuse, physical assault, homicidal ideation and homicide. For the majority of these 484 drugs, there were no violence case reports. For most of the rest, there were only one or two such reports. The 11 antidepressants stood out from the pack with a whopping 578 violence case reports, or 30 percent of the total. The proportion of violence cases reported for these drugs was eight times the average of all other drugs. Only the stop-smoking drug Chantix had a stronger violence signal.

My Dr gave me Chantix as an antidepressant about 7 years ago. I took it for a few days & then tossed it. It made me deliriously happy. I mean giggles at the least little thing. Now, I am not a giggly type of person. I normally have either a very dry or very goofy sense of humor, & find humor in so many things. I firmly believe NO ONE should be as hysterically happy as that stuff made me. The last thing that had that effect on me I picked out of a pile of cow crap in the 70's. And definately not good when you are teying to have a serious conversation with a customer on whom you've just filed liens on 30 new homes still under construction. Some of which have already been sold, meaning the new homeowner gets a copy of the papers. Giggles not good.

Ya almost had me convinced 'til I read da rest of your post.

BTW, can't remember dat last time I giggled (unless as a yute in church, as a stealth technique). Although, I do cherish an extended chuckle...

1 drop per 10ml.
But it won't help with breathing at all. Use too much and you will cough. Used correctly, it adds a cooling feeling on the tongue.
Mint, especially peppermint will help reduce congestion.

Chuckles are good, right out loud is even better! But no giggles.

You should giggle more. I giggle all da time. But yeah there are times it can get ya into trouble. Haven't done it for a few years, but used to have completely uncontrollable laughter. Would just start suddenly for no good reason really. I laughed for 4 hrs and 45 minutes one night. That was painful! I've kinda looked into that PBA stuff, cuz on occasion I've been known to just cry for no real good reason as well. But I don't think that is it.

Is the Iffy picture in question the picture of the hula dancer that some of you tried, now unsuccessfully, to block out?

I guess I did (thankfully) blot out the hula image. It’s okay, I have my own fantasy image of Iffy.



Guess what happens next?

Rather than a bunch of multi-quotes, I'll just give everyone a collective Thank You! for critiquing my letter.
…

I'll incorporate all the suggestions/edits, tone it down, add some links, and reread it again tomorrow morning after it gets a little "cold" again.

Later Gators...

Congratulations! Like I said, my first drafts always start out with something like, “To the idiot(s) it my concern.”

It's a picture of Flowersoul's husband that they confused with Iffy. And that was AFTER I posted my pictures.

See, that part I remember. Must have a mental block on Iffy.

My bad, that made me giggle. I know, not funny at all at the time. I'd have been mortified. What on earth did you dig out of a cow pie 30 years ago?

Iffy's the dangling thing. He's a scuba diver that flaunted the fact all over the porch a while back. It's what kicked off our sparing contest in the first place.

Thought she might not but I've never heard of such a thing and I lived on a college campus for most of the 70s.

 

[Debadoo]

In dat case.......he punches dat shark in da nose!!! and sends him swimmin off whinin!! lol

Not a chance. Shark makes him put all the lobsters back unscathed right where he found them.

lol yanno........sharks gotta swim.....dangling things gotta eat!

The shark is a vegetarian, Iffy needs to learn to pick on someone his own size.


Made a watermelon bubblegum juice and I actually like it. Gone through about 10ml of it in two days. Used TFA flavors. 10% Bubblegum (juicy style) and 5% Watermelon Candy. Going to bump the watermelon up a bit next time. It's another one of those flavors I always thought was stupid and childish.

 

[Debadoo]

that sounds yummy!! always did love watermelon bubblegum.

 

[FlamingoTutu]

Me too. The ones that looked like a round watermelon and cost twenty-five cents a pop. Complete ripoff but dang they were addicting. This tastes similar if I remember correctly. Trying 7% watermelon next time.

Also going to bed. Hope you get some decent sleep tonight and I'll see you tomorrow.

 

[Debadoo]

Nite hun, sleep well and jup, those were great. also loved hubba bubba watermelon back in the day.

Not sure this is what Kenna means, but for my take on it I believe this might help you understand:

sometimes I feel like a MUSHROOM, everyone keeps me in the dark and feeds me full of cow poop (substitute the s word for cow poop for the correct saying....)

But I could be wrong......

Nailed it.
