I have decided that extinguishing the behavior will work best. This will require a place for me to go (possibly with a bag, although I will ADMIT I have no desire to stay at the Motel 6 just outside of Douglas.... that's a lie actually I am DEEPLY interested in who and what will be there but since a gun seems like a bad idea, I may require some mace....) I am going to start with 30 minute increments. Then go up from there. There will be no outgoing phone calls after a yelling episode he is going to have to ah, "deswell" himself, and call ME. When he asks why I have not called, I will sweetly state, "I'm sorry, I was waiting for you to become a human being again and since you are NOT apparently doing it on your own, I am ACCELERATING the time frame so how are you honey?"

I'm afraid he's in the unfortunate position that if things go south, his life gets worse. Mine doesn't.

I think part of the problem is like, right now, we are both stressed out. But the yelling, it's gotten to be too much. He's going to have to man up. I refuse to be yelled at ANY more. I get paid to be yelled at all day sometimes, I am NOT coming home to it.

I mean I will thank him and reward him for not yelling and I get he hurts all over, but if he can NOT yell at the 7-11 clerk, he can NOT yell at me.

Extinguishing a behavior with a kid is super easy, you got the POWAH, but with an adult it's more annoying. However, the time has come. I have two goals: die happy in Douglas and b) not get yelled at for having thoughts, feelings and the desire to discuss them with my life partner which appears to need some FOCUSED inattention before he gets here for reals.

He was doing well; he is decompensating. It will stop. Otherwise, I'm getting a divorce. In the short term it will hurt worse, but I am DONE after today. I refuse to live like this. It's too.... STUPID.

I hear ya. Good luck!

    Remember when ProVape had a fire sale just prior to their closing down? I'm trying to remember when that was.

    They closed 2/9/17 and they had clearance sales in August of '16, I know.

    I remember reading somewhere that you got a new job,

    Not what I am used to. But could retire from it. As long as I can stay awake. I have a interview at the AC hard rock Friday. Hope that works out. We own a place in AC and it would be cheap rent.

    Yesterday I figured I should test out my stash from olden days...so I dug out a Protank 2 and a fresh coil. Pulled the silica from the coil and wicked it with some cotton yarn from olden days, and filled her up...thoughts...not too bad really, a slight step back, but doable, in fact, a quite pleasant vape at about 7 watts. Got me through night and all of today with nary a difference from the usual routine...if I was to have to resort back to these, I might bump my nic back up to 8 mg/ml or 10 mg/ml from my usual 6 mg/ml, but all thing equal, not that much difference from where I am at now in the scheme of things.

    We will survive! :) ( I got lots and lots of PT2 heads stashed away:))

    I didn't last long using silica, early on I learned to re-wick them coils with cotton yarn, I used to re-wick them every two or three fills. I went on like that for almost three years using them Protanks.

    Couldn't believe how nasty tasting it was and how long I used it. 2-3 years anyway.

    My menthol blend still likes silica, with a slightly muted flavor. The same liquid in a minifit (cotton) tastes about the same, just a tad less throat hit. Kind of weird that silica and 2/3 PG work fine for me when a lot of flavors are irritating. Most likely because I'm really low wattage MTL, maybe a some dead taste buds too.:D

    I thought silica fell by the wayside because it couldn't keep up with higher wattages and thicker liquids. Sorry it's not a flavorful option for so many.

    Might as well have variety - rayon and cotton for clouding, SS, silica and ceramic for MTL. We'll need new different stuff to try in the future when bored with the hoard!

    That was the only tune that I listened to in my youth, that my mom actually liked, she could not believe who it was when I told her. Definitely one of his best. :)
