Shinyitis Support Group

[Walter_Sobchak]

Hi. My name is smacuser and I'm an addict.

I am minutes away from buying an rta I thought I needed only a few hours ago. Since Thursday is payday, I planned on being sly and get that flavoring, plus a couple (10) others , and a couple (six) batteries I need (not really). I also spied a chuff cap on clearance thanks to a link I saw earlier.

If anyone wants to be my sponsor, I'd be in your debt.

Welcome.

It'd be just be another Pico.

Hey @jfcooley We got another Pico person in the group. They're spreading like weeds

@smacuser don't listen to them. They're from the FDA looking for test subjects on a study on how vaping leads to a spending addiction. Think of the children!

You don't have to buy stuff if you don't want to. Not wanting to can be hard to achieve, however

@smacuser Get the Sandstorm and come play on the dark side with us. It's way more fun over here.

Something about the Drop when I order it. Last 2 took extra 2 days to be delivered by my PO. This one originally said yesterday, but showed in transit. Still showing in transit, hadn't been updated since 15th.

Just....sigh

 

[Letitia]

At least yours has shipped and you have one to play with while you wait. My Cylon showed it had left China and now back to showing pre-ship. Do we ever really know where our gear is?

Well my slow boat order has been showing processed through New York for 4 days now with no activity. But still says will deliver Friday.
Not just you sadly.

@Letitia I like you, I mean a LOT. Yet somehow, I think this relationship is doomed as I also feel that we are on totally different sides of the meadow when it comes to shinyitis, LOL, the kind of meadows that Henry V used to charge at his opponents at leading to much death and destruction...

We many, we happy many, we band of shinyitis sufferers;
For he to-day that saves his cash with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so poor,
This day shall better his condition;
And smokers all over ECF that now are a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not reading this thread,
And hold their vapehood cheap whiles any speaks
That saved with us, upon Saint Wednesday Shinyitis day.

Let's just wrap our mods as we enter battle and hope none of them get injured, LOL.

(I think I butchered that a bit)

If you have a Cylon you can now download the file that will let you change wallpaper to anything you want. I'm seeing a familiar blue dragon on mine, if it gets here before the dragon dies.

 

[Letitia]

So gb order has shipped. Wonder which will get here first, ft or gb.

@jfcooley I can't recall if you mentioned, did your B2K arrive yet? Get this thing on a regulated mod with a really chunky coil once you get it rolling. At 60W and up it just sings.

This thing is falling into that same awkward place the Pulse22 did for me, in that it wants more wire than I can reasonably expect to power with my mechs. I really ought to get myself a series mod for home use, as I do like to let things rip now and again. Meanwhile, I'm taking my Reuleaux Mini on my trip, so I'll enjoy a week with it and the B2K and send the atty on its way.

Highways closed due to icing.
Couldn't go to work today, and I'm upset about it!! (can you tell)

 

[stols001]

Snow... and work's out. Very unusual in my experience... School? Yes. Work: "If you do not have an SUV we will come pick you up...."
"I don't... but I don't necessarily want to ride with YOURS either...."
"Blather about number of staff needed on site and etc.... "

LOL, this was back on the East Coast. I don't think the highways were ever closed, but the secondary routes could be a pain....

Enjoy your free day, @whodat2112 !

We aren't used to it in the deep south. More ice than snow. The news said, if you don't have to drive, then don't. So I listened to them

Work isn't closed, I just didn't go

 

[Letitia]

We don't do too well in snow here either. I'm on a corner lot and one of my trees has many wounds from drivers attempted turns. At least the tree keeps them out of the house.

My buddy is reporting -8°C in Atlanta. You folks in the south can handle heat and humidity that would kill an average Canadian, I gotta think -8 feels like the surface of Mars right now.

Ordered some flavorings from Bull City this morning. Those are exempt from shinyitis, right?

Yes they are. My BCF order should be here today or tomorrow. Of course I forgot a couple I needed.

 

[stols001]

I love how we break the rules constantly, but if there IS a shinyitis exemption, it's always checked. "All my batteries are dead.... I need to buy some more, that's okay, right?"

Vs. "I just bought X."

I suppose it's good we know the rules, right? LOL, when they're convenient.
