Well you couldn't see me sitting here going :lol: ;) :lol: ;) :lol: so wanted to make it clear just in case. How'd it turn out? We all get to come over and try it? :)
Ribs turned out really well. Falling off the bone.

I was going to ask Diver when dinner is served? :w00t::lol::lol::w00t::blush:
Sorry, I was too busy eating to invite others...

I think he's eating. :cry: Maybe we can get a doggie bag.

The petition rolled over 20,000 today and stands at 20,099 right now. Not bad for almost no outside publicity. I guess provape (thank you provape!)did post it on their FB page.
Not many left with three teens in the house.

I've done the same thing, though not as badly as you. It ain't fun. I hope tomorrow is much better. Try some of David's wodka, it works wonders, you forget all about the pain. ;)
Wodka + drugs I have to take right now = not good! I stick to a beer or glass of wine. Wodka means multiple bloody mary's. Did I mention multiples?

A few weeks ago, I was at a friend's house. She served refreshments after a meeting, including wine. I poured my own, about an inch. Later, she urged me to finish off the bottle. I explained to her that I had spent many years in AA, and as a result, my tolerance level was restored to that of a non-drinker, and I intend to keep it that way. She apologized. It was very good, rhubarb.

I recently switched from small bottles of wine which take about a week to finish, to Seagram's Escapes. I can finish one in an evening, with hardly a buzz. Lushious, and hydrating, too.

    WOW, if I tried that it would only take me about a week to be back drinking a fifth/day!

    26 years, and still haven't graduated.

    For me, it was a paradox. Being raised in a Mormon-influenced culture gave me the motivation to quit drinking. But once I left that cultural influence and began to process negative aspects of Mormon culture which gave me an anxiety disorder, I am doing well. I wanted to escape from bad dreams about having one drink and blowing twenty-some years of sobriety. o_O

    Just a word of warning, so take it for what it's worth.
    It's simple to change a fresh cucumber into a pickle, but try changing that pickle back into a fresh cucumber.
    Once a pickle, always a pickle

    Oops ... flashing light! ... Even A Provari needs a fresh battery once in a while :lol:

    Yeah, my sponsor told me that multiple times. PTSD is a nasty sneak.

    Staying hydrated is important. ;) I usually drink low alcohol because I just don't have much tolerance to it. :( Good news is it's not the alcohol I'm after, usually. :lol:

    I saw this $30.95 Authentic UD Vape Pocket Carry Bag for E-Cigarettes - w/ 107cm shoulder strap / 2-layer / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and thought it was pretty cool for storing all my gear. A bit pricey but if you live somewhere where you might have to evacuate in a matter of minutes, it's easier than grabbing a couple of boxes.

    I have a small Vera Bradley backpack that my sister gave me for my netbook several years ago. I now use it for my vape gear when I'm going to be gone long. Has 2 small pockets inside for batteries & ohms meter (MVP2), room for charger, juices, mods, tools in main section, & a zip pocket outside for my altoids tins of KGD, & coils, & wire. A snap pocket on otherside for radom stuff.

    I have a couple of small cases that I can slip into my backpack when we go out or even away for a while. I'm going to use this for all the backups/vapocalypse (sp?) hardware stuff. It's out of hand, to put it mildly. You sound so much better organized than I am. :oops:

    Lol! I'm organized by nature, which conflicts with my tendency to procrastinate. [emoji39]

    I have a denim tube sewn into the lining of my denim purse to hold my mods. It will hold two nemeses upright. That is all I need for being away all day, given full tanks and charged batteries.
    I just carry a small crossbody bag, (which might be part of my neck issues), & it has several zippered sections. One has just enought room for my phone & itaste with a tank on it. That's all I take if out & about for a few hours. If i'm going to be gone most of the day i'll take something that has a battery I can change, a spare battery, & another tank of juice or a bottle for refills.

    Camera bags are perfect. I have a little utility bag that came with a little plastic box of tools that folds in on itself. Some of the tools are part of my rebuilding stuff, & that little bag is perfect for a trip to family gatherings where several either vape, kinda vape, or just so fascinated by all my toys & juices. Meaning Kfl's & 3 juices I like & all the ones I don't like but hope they will. The little backpack is for when I'm gone for more than a couple of days pet sitting or something.

    It's two layers deep so not typically your around town tote, unless, perhaps, you're a cloud chaser. It is sturdy as heck and holds a lot. Last thing I want to do if the house burns down is worry about replacing gear. That and I'm tired of looking in three different (big) boxes when I need something.
    My day kit and I have cell phone belt pouches they will fit in.

    That all fits very nicely, well done. Is that a little pink evod?

    Hey, me too! Add in the ADD and this place is a disaster area waiting to be organized. Someday.

    My Mom gave me one of those. She probably got sick of seeing me with a backpack for decades. Tried it, didn't like it. My husband has been using ever since at work. It's his Man Bag!
