Only 12k have filled out the flavor survey and they need 30k. If you use a local shop try to get them on board with guiding customers to the survey.
Dunnoh, maybe shops could give 5%-10% off if you fill out the survey on the spot. Sure is an investment into the future. Not sure how practical that would be... but somehow the reach of YT reviewers and forums doesn't seem to be enough, something needs to be done. How much time is there left?
Man, if I informed the husband that I was going to divorce him every time I "loved him but wasn't in love with him," we'd be divorced like 50 times.
Also the most meaningless phrase of all time. You love someone, or you just DON'T. God, not to hate on your wife, @whodat2112 , she's probably just reached the stage of marriage where the endorphins fall off, and she gets nutty (could be menopause too, or a midlife crisis.) But, GAH.
There were times I stuck around for the husband because I "loved" him, while not considering him a "prince charming" exactly (he isn't, always) and that's what fortitude and marriage counseling is for! UGH.
Plus, what a mind (and nut) bending phrase "I love you, but I'm not in love with you." There should be choking privileges on that, seriously. But, I hope you take care of YOU through this process and we all miss you, but we understand.
Man, my (bad) first marriage (and I did do FOUR years of marriage counseling with the dude) well, when I moved out, I was like "I'm keeping my clothes, most of the kids clothing and that's about it." I returned all engagement rings, pearls his mom gave me for "marriage" and etc. I was firmly in the camp "I do NOT need any reminders of this marriage, thank you." And just kind of fled. It was easier, I was young, I was perfectly happy to stay in my mom's basement using her discarded pots and pans and stuff while I finished my master's degree.
On a happier note, I JUST got my "Women's day win" of the Ego Mega One ORIGINAL tank (they are hard to find these days) and I got the cyan color, with a white driptip and it's sitting on my blue radius. Looks nice, vapes great.
@whodat2112 (((HUGS, many HUGS)) and I hope HOWEVER this turns out, it's for the better for you. I'm really sorry.

That is so totally what IUDs are for. The copper ones are GREAT. Oh, docs say to get it replaced every 15 years but I have heard that's kind of nonsense. I expelled a couple (yoga poses) so I'm rather fond of THIS one. Heh. I never worry about getting pregnant and I used to, all the time.

Been waiting for a mod that takes stacked 901200 batteries.
I was partial to the Nicolas Vapefly tank for a while. It's been set aside though, there are other MTL vapes I enjoy more, (although they also annoy me at times, I seem to have excessive issues with getting some of the "CLR capable" tanks to register. Usually after I drop them so it's my fault. I did drop the Nicolas tank a bunch of times and it takes a beating. Reddit was sort of into it I think some members.

I love my family, but I've been either on the road or at my in-laws since Sunday.
Got off early today, and yep, at in-laws. I'm grumpy, tired, and want to be home.

There really should be a legal limit on time spent with in-laws. Lately I've had to spent too much time with my MIL and SIL, evil flaming narcissists. It affects how I see my wife, even though she is the pick of the litter.
Not a good idea if they're following FDA protocol on survey administration. "Why not" is complicated, but it leads to questions about participants' motivation.
I doubt they "need" 30,000 observations to analyze the data. More observations are always better, but 12,000 for the total vaping population of the U.S. is more than representative.
I...just...want...to...go...home.
After this I gotta run and get my boys.
I'm the kind that needs peace and quiet.

Yeah, even though they wouldn't get anything depending on how they fill out the survey I see how it still would be used against us.
Then they should put posters up so people at least know about what's going on. Maybe that's already the case?

That is just wrong. Went down to the lobby to get starbucks, they remembered me... apparently no one ever orders black coffee. No ground up unicorns for me, I want hot caffeine
I never enjoyed visits to the in laws, either. They're scary as all get out, my husband is definitely the "pick of the litter" but it's not, ah, the greatest "litter" of all time, although his bio dad died when he was 1, so it's not really fair. I sometimes kind of imagine his dad was like, "I can't take any more of this!" and allowed his premature death from Khrone's disease on purpose (although everyone SAYS that he just didn't like doctors.)
I kind of don't buy that argument though, because if I was married to someone who was DYING of something, I would sort of MAKE them go to the doctor, in whatever way necessary (up to and including INVOLUNTARYING them into treatment, which is pretty super easy as a social worker, you just call and explain your spouse is suicidal and refusing treatment and after a few days on the psych ward, well, they change their tune.)
Okay, so its not particularly nice and may well result in a divorce down the line, depending, but I wouldn't be sitting around watching my spouse DIE slowly while "gently coaxing" them to "try" treatment. And if I really loved someone I'd rather have them around, parenting my kids, even if never to forgive me and etc.
Sucked for the husband too because he looks like his bio dad, and his grandmommy would always call him and treat him as if he were his dad, including the wrong name and that would've driven me BONKERS.
LOL, on our last visit, my MIL quietly informed my husband that "she should never have had kids and she deeply, deeply regretted it." I think it was an apology of a sort, but the husband and I agreed to fly her out and pay all of her costs for the trip, since he wanted his mom to "see" AZ. I don't think he took it as an "apology" exactly, because they were hiking, she has a bad hip, and he immediately declared they were "lost" and let her stew on that for a while.
My SIL and BIL visited... once. He has MR and she is bipolar and refuses to take her meds. I had to gently explain to the husband that they were never visiting again, because the BIL had a habit of "stealthy" um, self pleasuring around women, and I was not going to let my kid see THAT even one time.
Hope some of it cheers you up, JFC.
