I jokingly tried that logic with my bride once when it came to a firearm I was coveting. I recall saying that whatever she thought was more important wouldn't matter if the zombies attacked and we didn't have a way to defend ourselves. She gave me that look that only a wife can give a husband. Similar to the look a mom gives a child.

@Walter_Sobchak what works for me sometimes is just to remind myself that if it's a great mod, it's not going anywhere and will only decrease in price. So waiting does have a reward at the end, quite often, and if the setup isn't around well that probably means it was unpopular and you dodged a bullet.

Don't trust JFC, we all know he's the biggest enabler on this thread, not to mention on the Dark Side. :)

Are you saying that I shouldn't have asked him to be my sponsor? Doh

You can fire sponsors... LOL.

I actually just picked up two in AA yesterday. I think one is going to stick (and be a handful, which is okay with me) the other one probably frightened herself out of sponsorship by asking me, she had that vibe going. LOL.

Whenever it happens I go, "Oh, dear God, what are you doing to/for me? Oh, that's right, helping me stay sober...."

It's not fair though, I'm also my homegroup's intergroup rep, and that's an AWFUL job to have made slightly easier by the fact that Tucson's smaller, but it's my most hated job (it's all the admin stuff that has to happen) and now THIS? LOL, will keep me from being cranky for a while about my STUPID ELBOW. I hate being injured.... If it doesn't improve in two days, I'm going to the doctor (my husband thinks I'm dumb for this but he once pulled out a dead tooth with PLIERS from his TOOLKIT, so his opinion doesn't count.) I never get injured, ever, and I am NOT handling it (and my lack of yoga) gracefully.... at least Not Today. Well, I haven't BOUGHT anything. Heh.

I think on this thread, well if you're a dude, avoid all the guys on the thread, and if you are a woman, stay away from all the chicks. Cross-gender sponsorship isn't really encouraged unless you are gay (yes, the usual reasons why).

But on THIS thread? I don't even know where to start.... :lol:

Huh. And I thought it was normal that they fired me. LOL Just kidding.

Good luck with the elbow and with breaking in the new sponsor(s)

Sponsees, actually. I have a sponsor. And I sponsor people (sponsees) that's how it works. It's usually either excellent or dreadful but funny. LOL.

I had one woman tell me upfront "I'm kind of a ....*." I was like, surely it can't be *that* bad? It totally was. I need to remember that if a woman says that to me UPFRONT I totally, totally should believe her. LOL.

To get back on topic, I don't have a taker for that pico rainbow mod. I need to seriously decide if I am going to PIF or just sell it for cheap on the classifieds, as I hate going to the post office and some money, even a little, might make that easier. :)

Nah, WAY too much gold for me. I don't do gold anything. :pervy:

Umm... Uhh... Anyone up for a Therion BF 75C for $85? MFS has those on sale now, so I grabbed a Crown Bull just now for $72.25 (after new customer discount)! :w00t:

That's it, I am officially done... Because I'm running out of email addresses. :sneaky:

The gold is what I love about that mod. The fact that it is a single battery, not so much. I got a Therion 75c from MFS for $68. LOL on the email addresses - that is the trick I used to get the Therion for $68. :)

So, I've mostly kicked the shinyitis bug, but dangit if I didn't just win 50 bucks from the pusher-man over at Heaven Gifts. I guess I could use a new atty stand (*wink wink*). I'm looking at the Pico 25, or the new Pico 21700, but I already have a 75w and a Smok AL85 so I'm thinking that would just be "more of the same." I prefer external batteries because I'm not hard on my gear, and I expect it to outlive the cell in functionality, and I prefer single 18650's so I don't have to buy new sizes, or pairs of batteries, but maybe I could be persuaded. What's hot?

Shinyitis got me. I was sitting around bored and decided to walk to the vape shop since it was above freezing and the rain had stopped. Went there looking for some prebuilt fancy single coils around 0.2 ohm. Ended up with a coilology 42 (7 types x 6ea) piece coil set. Only one of the 7 sets is what I was really after for single coil but the other 6 sets should work for me in my dual setups also. Also got a couple 5 leg ijoy 20700 for my pulse and an aluminum dead rabbit 24 clone. At least I went on Wednesday for their weekly 20% off sale so it wasn't too much more than if I had bought online and paid shipping.

I'm going to give you props for getting out of the house AND supporting your local vape shop :) I see this as more of a shinyitis win, and I hope you enjoy your coils. I won an exotic coil kit recently and I will have to vastly Ponder how I will use those coils. LOL.

But, I kind of feel you showed restraint! And you got exercise.... I could have totally walked the labyrinth for exercise today despite my elbow but I didn't. It is cold (for here) AND rainy, which I hate. I enjoy the summer monsoons, but what CA sent us today, not so much. I did get out of the house, and will be required to do so again shortly.... :( Time for the Big Black Coat.
