@coldgin96 for when you get Steel chipped: Owner – Found Animals Microchip Registry

Registering your pets is free on this site.

As for the spay/neuter debate, I think it's up to each pet owner to decide for themselves. My three cats have all been fixed, my maine coone I bought from a breeder and was contractually obligated to have her spayed, the other two were rescues from a local shelter and had already had the procedures when I adopted them. My dog has not been spayed, I keep thinking maybe I should, but we have a fenced yard and when she is in heat I am out there with her every time she goes out to be sure she doesn't meet any new friends.
I haven't had that many pets as a adult. All the ones I have were already adults and fixed. Except a cat when I was married the first time. We had a male orange Persian that was found along side the road. All four paws were declawed when we got him. The mother of my children had him neutered. He eventually got over it but for two weeks, we never saw him. He hated us for it. I keep thinking about that.

Oh... learning to fly is now running through my brain.

I may have to run for office because I am beginning to believe I am unemployable. Head doc clearly said he was out of town and he showed UP at my temporary work place at 1:30. After I sent my email.

I left before whatever was going down was going down. Because I have really reached the self loathing stage. Even though my letter was factual and true.

I have been fired before. I have been fired SO hard from one place, security escorted me to get my belongings. But here's the thing, I hated that job. I mean... I bet getting fired from a job that is ALMOST perfect besides the sociopath next door, well, when I said I wanted tor retire there, I MEANT it. I LOVE Douglas.

None of my emails even talked about dogs eyes being gouged out (although I stand by that post, and it's educational too.)

But I was as professional as I know how to BE. I know I will likely actually win an EEOC case but that's not what makes me happy.

My new 'temp" location sucks about as hard as I expected it was boring and lame. UNTIL HEAD DOC SHOWED UP.

So yeah, self loathing is here and I expect it to hang out for a while. But there is literally nothing I can do about it. Because. as my husband cannot seem to comprehend., my personality a) values harmony and REALLY values it but b) not to the point of ABUSE and then I get all up in your grill somehow. Because I SO believe if you could just cease being a jerk, harmony would be restored.

So yes I suck. Not for the not humanizing animals,. that was LEGIT. But for this stuff... also legit but impossible, I JUST SUCK SO HARD.

Maybe I will muster up a spine soon but just now I just WANT go give up./ Yoga soon though. This morning was not auspicious.

never noticed those things back when they released this mod...Funny how they just slipped this mod out onto the market without any fanfare at all...I always looked at it as their red headed stepchild :lol: and I really like the Classic, even got lucky enough in the end of days to get a red/black fade one with a P3 chipset in it :)

Almost pulled the trigger on a red/black Classic I saw on the bay last month, but since I already have 2 Classics (satin and polished), figured I'm set. Always liked the red/black though.

Ok, as long as we are talking about off the wall stuff, I'd like to tell you my idea of what my room in Heaven will be like but I can't here. :censored:
So..... once I get there, I'm going to ask God if before I settle in, may I have a space ship (about the size of a space shuttle on Star Trek) with a kick ... stereo, a food replicator and a mini fridge with a constant supply of original (the way it was made when it was first introduced ;)) Coca-Cola in a glass bottle that just barely ices up at the top when you open it.

I wish I could give you advice, but I can't on here. ;)
Everything is going to be ok. Breathe and enjoy it.

This is the most I've had at one time as an adult. With this batch was just the two cats, the maine coone and the one rescue. Then someone dumped my dog off on my uncle's farm, I knew it was only a matter of time before my oldest son moved out, and since my husband works nights I decided I wanted something that barks, so we took her in. In February, my oldest son went with his fiancee to the shelter, picked out an affectionate but obnoxious nine month old kitten. He had him three weeks, then the fiancee who is ocd when it comes to cleaning told him she was having panic attacks when she would leave his apartment and omg see all the cat hair on her clothes (this is a short haired cat btw), and she just couldn't stand the thought of living in a place that was "uncleanable", so he had to get rid of the cat. As I mentioned above, he's really a sweet lovable little guy, and it's not his fault (the cat's, not my son-I totally blame him and her), I couldn't stand the thought of him going back to the shelter, so I have another cat. But I must say four is my limit, a bit much really, but I love them and have no regrets.

To be honest, when the Classic was released I was a bit confused as I couldn't figure out what Pro Vape was aiming at. Unless I missed something, the thing wasn't a P3 and wasn't a 2.5 so I was unsure what its appeal was and who it would appeal to. I also may be remembering wrong but it seems like the price point didn't make sense if they intended it to be a P2.75 either.

So, Classic owners, fill me in on it.

I honestly don't believe ProVape knew exactly what they developed or how to market it...maybe they developed the Classic before the P3 and saw all the talk of them needing something with more power to compete with the then current market??? That thought crossed my mind a time or two...maybe sales were stale on the P3 and they thought they could offer a stripped down lesser version at a more reasonable price point??? We will never know, and they really didn't talk at all about the Classic when they quietly dropped it onto their site for sale...that was a weird chapter in their product lineup.

As with pretty much everything vape, @Katdarling and I were very late in the Classic/P3/Radius game. She stumbled upon a Classic, then I got one.

Even now with the "full suite" of Provis, the Classic has become a fave for both of us. I can't explain it - it just "is".

v2.5 is still my end-all, beat-all (for the now obvious durability), but in the "upper echelon", the Classic has proven to be much more appreciated than I think either of us ever imagined.

It didn't hurt that we got them pretty cheap too. :blush:

I never vape over 8 or 9 watts max, so the 15W limit of the Classic was never an issue. The Classic menu is MUCH simpler than the P3 ... which has features I never use. Can use button or flat top batteries in the Classic and it has a flat top. Not only that but I think the Classic was like Six thousand Four hundred and Seventy Two dollars cheaper than than a P3. I know I paid $39.95 for each of my Classics when their everyday retail price was $69.95. Not sure what retail was when they were introduced. Got mine in 2016. For me, the Classic checks all the boxes with no left over boxes unchecked.

I think they designed it for someone like myself. I had no interest in the P3 at all, I did like the Celtic though. When the classic came out, I really wanted them, but couldn't do it because of cash problems. I would have bought several, but then they closed. At the end I bought 1 Celtic P3, and 1 Classic. I did not need all the bells and whistle's, (still don't) and I always liked the tear drop pattern. :|

Okay, by using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine ... I found the Classic retail price was $100 less than the P3 retail.
Satin Classic ... $149.95
Satin P3 ... $249.95
... and I like the looks of the Classic best. Well, except maybe for the Celtic Knot P3 ... maybe
Clean lines, impeccable teardrops, stylish and sophisticated (well, regulated anyway) ... ProVari Classic

I seem to remember the Classic being around the 160$ mark when new...maybe a little less, they weren't cheap by any standard though...I'd go digging in the old archived section, but am feeling lazy and unambitious.

@ENAUD ... found it. Look at my post just above your last post

EDIT: Price did depend on finish. Satin was the least expensive and GMZ was the most expensive.
