I'm still new to camping kinda. I quit smoking Oct 5th2013. I had went to hospital on Sep29,2013 for my diverticulitis on visit to the ER. The nurse came into triage and looked at my fingernails And told me I was in late stage COPD. This scared me so bad. Then 2 day's later I was in the grocery store and saw a gentleman vaping. I asked him about vaping he told me of a store close by and I went and checked it out. I came home and told my husband I was going to quit smoking. So on the 5th of Sep I went back to the vapor store and bought my first kit. After I did this I went back to my hubby at work n showed him. And he joined me as well as the rest of the guys from his shop. In all I brought 23 ppl with me on my band waggon to quit smoking. It has been 19 months since I quit smoking. I'm so proud of myself.

A simple 'like' doesn't seem appropriate in response to this post - THAT's FANTASTIC!!! You go girlfriend!! I'm so happy and proud of you too! Good job! now on to the next thing on your list (grin).

We took our dog to a big Fourth of July fireworks celebration on San Diego bay.
As soon as it started, she FREAKED OUT in a big way.

Luckily we had her on a leash, or we may never have seen her again.
She was REALLY freaked out, and in a serious panic.

She took off running, and I ran with her all the way back to our car parked about a mile away.
Then she sat in the back of the car, and I with her, until it ended.

At some point my wife found her way back to the car as well.
Although without my help, I am kind of amazed my wife accomplished that feat.

She's not real good with directions.
She goes the wrong way about 80% of the time when exiting an elevator.
:laugh:

Needless to say we now leave our dog at home on Fourth of July.
:(

We've done the same thing with (10) puppies we raised for CCI in the San Diego area! The Del Mar Fair's last night show always freaked some out and so we find a quiet corner and reassure them, they won't come in contact with anything bad... but they gotta learn to somehow come to terms with stuff like that if they're going to serve deserving folks as a service dog. Goldens are such loving kind little balls of fur that grow into such awesome well mannered adult dogs - it's a joy to see them working and being helpful in life!

I'm sensitive alright (and a poet, prose writer, musician, although they aren't really my main job, the one I have to have to make a living before winning the lotto) but I've learned enough to develop an armour. I don't think smoking has anything to do with it... Back in the 70s a lot of us would start smoking very young and it wasn't until very recently really that we all - in reaction to the propaganda - developed a fear/disgust of smoking. Nicotine is just an accident and not really that terrible, plus it's easy to give up if one actually wants to. I have a sweet tooth too and it's got nothing to do with sensitivity.


I guess we're all different in how we react to things. I found living with stuff I didn't think was 'good' made me vulnerable for things that 'soothed that hurt in me' and made me feel better. I think folks who grew up strong and good with a good support system behind them could more easily avoid some of the 'ditches' I seemed to fall into (until I responded to God calling me). He's certainly showed me a better way of living my life, and helping others find their ways too. Bless you for responding and sharing, Jorge22. I like to hear what others think and what they respond well to.

I am so pleased and so happy with this prize!! It was my #1 choice!

Thank you so much to Smokey Joe, ECF, and the TREMENDOUSLY GENEROUS VENDORS who supplied the prizes!!!! Big thanks to CIGNOT.COM who have already contacted me and I even got to choose the COLOR of the Joyetech eGrip OLED that I wanted! I hope everyone will support these companies with their buying dollars in the future. They deserve to be richly rewarded for their generosity!!!

What a wonderful thing to have happen -- I enjoy participating in the contests just for the FUN of it and to see others win and share in their excitement -- this is a great community that is a blessing to each of us!
A big thank you from me goes out to each of you!

lol...Kprthevapor is generously piffing a beautiful purple mod to me...and between everyone offering me spare tanks and assorted goodies, I will be set, as well as being able to help 2 friends of mine get started. I have been overwhelmed with the support and generosity of everyone here. I may not have won the contest, but I have won, nonetheless.

Thankyou, redrebel. I've been checking the Lavatube 2.5 out on the net and it looks awesome, I'm thrilled to have won it. :)
I'm so excited for you!!! After the Provari went, I was coveting it! But, I'm so happy it's going to a good home!

Congratulations!!! :w00t:

How awesome is this?!?!?!

The person that contacted you, Nancy, is Flushdraw. He is SmokeyJoe's brother :)

Ahhh that's great, thanks Robin! I went back to my notification to make sure of it the next time I referenced him (grin) and have had a couple quick notes from him since.

This has been just an awesome celebration of a mind-blowing # of posts here on ECF!! I'm trying to catch up on my reading (Page 75 now, and up to 83 yet to go)... grinning from ear to ear for happy of all the folks who have quit smoking and are now enjoying NOT STINKING and being able to breath better and taste some of the awesome juices being made these days, too! (grin)

Thanks again, Robin. You're tops!

Was just wondering lol

I'd share the list I had to choose from, but hard to tell what everyone else picked and were told they'd receive after me.... AND the small fact that in the notification letter they asked us not to share the 'form' with others NOT on the winner's list or runner's up... I would think that would make it a might easier for them to deal with JUST the winners and not some person 'wanting to be a winner' - haha so the wait goes on... such fun to watch!

I know, right?
Self taught, able to build complex chord structures by ear...completely unorthodox playing style. She obviously had music in her blood

oh, oh, USMC quit vaping with his other hand - anyone close to him to go check see if he's ok? (LOL)

Hey round 1 or round 2 winners.

I was just wondering if there is any confirmation after you have made your picks? I am a round 2 winner and I ranked my prizes but I haven't received any other info. I am very grateful and I am in no hurry for my prize, I just want to make sure I didn't overlook anything important that I should have done. I was so excited when I found out I won I am now worried. Lol

It took several days (4) before I was notified after I made my choices and sent in the form for another notification to show up in my INBOX from 'flushdraw' of the fact I would receive my first choice!! Now I'm waiting on Vaping Zone to confirm or whatever the next step is. (grin), yup, still a grinnin' I am.... so just be patient and they'll work out all the wrinkles.
