Nice ride, @Letitia!

I've been thinking about a new(er) truck. I don't need a full size truck anymore, but I've driven trucks since 1988.

No new shinies to show off but I'm thinking about another squonker. Maybe the new Pico.

Good morning shinies, woke up to a FT win? Now I just need to figure out if it is indeed what I thought, I was like SKU? I'm going to SKU me a lost vape Mirage!

LOL I probably did it wrong or something but I'm sure all will become clear, once I wake up. I am officially still asleep but I imagine it will come clear at SOME point this morning.

I doubt it's the LV but MAN if it is, that is an awesome win (although it's nice to just win something). Especially after winning at life yesterday, LOL.

Beautiful shiny pics this a.m.

That's some fine weapons grade sarcasm...

Dovpo made some of the sketchiest junk back in the day. I guess you were not around for the EMech, DT-50 or Mini E-VLT... :lol:

Maybe there manufacturing has improved, still not interested.
Let me rephrase...I hope it's as good as the Dovpo products I own. I wasn't around for the sketchy mods. :laugh:

For the price, and good reviews, the pico squonk seems hard to pass up.

I kind of think people who enhance or lift their .... by choice like, deserve to die to an extent. I mean, that's like, if I ever collected enough money for a .... lift (which I do not need) I would donate that money to someone who DOES need plastic surgery like someone burned in a fire. I also sort of think that to be "allowed" to have plastic surgery, you should like, be FORCED to make that donation. It wouldn't stop SOME folks, but ANY surgery you can die, which is ONE reason why I find "improved cosmetic surgery" so hard to stomach, period. I mean, you are Going Under and those plastic surgery folks are like, really it's a dangerous and deadly addiction.

Falling "within the realm" of normal as far as attractiveness, well, I guess it's easy to say that and if I had a huge Jewish schnozz I would OWN IT WITH PRIDE.

I mean, man my nose grew before the rest of my face, though, and those of you who know me, anyway had better believe that wow, I complained constantly. My mom (who I think was trying to be nice, not evil) offered to pay for me to plastic surgery it (I was 15, but I bet even then, we could have found a surgeon to do it) but I was most offended and if anything she VALIDATED the idea that my nose was terrifying (honestly it kind of was) but coping with that nose gave me character and when the rest of my face GREW I sure was grateful I had not attacked that nose, because it would have been tiny and weird looking, much like the nose of a dude I knew in high school who had the ah, "deviated spectrum yeah RIGHT" surgery like his junior year.

It was the most girlish ridiculous nose I've ever seen and you just can't FIX that, honestly.

So, I am anti .... lift and anti plastic surgery Unless it Gets to the point of actually, classified deformity where like people literally LOOK away as you approach and etc. I'm old skool, I'm like OWN your 100% imperfect body, because let's face it, self acceptance is the best look of ALL on a person, and also, no matter WHAT you do, there is always going to be someone UGLIER than you, and more attractive than you, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder frankly, so when you BEHOLD yourself, well, my sponsor had me do that "look in the mirror and affirm your love for yourself" thing and I thought it was super cheesy at first, but nowadays, I've so gotten into the habit of saying, "I love you Anna, you are beautiful" and it REALLY helps, not even with JUST my face, even, but just general POSITIVE regard for myself, in general, when I was actually even able to look in the mirror and love my EVERYTHING self, not just my face, and realize I could have that kind of love for myself....

Well, I got a small scar on my nose from hitting it on the dresser one morning, and it's a sebaceous scar, meaning it has the possibility to grow bulbous although it has grown 0% so far, I don't even mind seeing it, I'm like, I LOVE the "Anna as prize fighter" person TOO. It's small and really probably uneventful to ANYONE else, but to me it looks like I lost to Mike Tyson and somehow, I still think I look Just Exactly Like I am supposed to and it's great.

LOL, this motivational post brought to you from the organization, "I HATE plastic surgery."

We won one of these
Grats! That's a Taifun BT clone, are you familiar with the whole setup process? It's wicking juice upwards through stainless steel cable and on top it's a mesh coil build, so don't be afraid to really stuff some cotton in there, not a millimeter of mesh can be left free or you'll have the dry hit of your life. You may prime it with up to 5ml :D
It runs best with a lot of air and from 60W upwards.

Man, I just BUSTED an Ares.

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, your friendly morning PSA is to remind those of you dumb enough to like forget, that picking up your setup by the ATOMIZER INVITES, no BEGS FOR consequences. LOL. The bottom of it I guess had gotten slightly unscrewed and the BASE where the o-ring is, well it decided that my action was Violent Attack on its PERSONHOOD or whatever, and like, just SLIPPED away, and I was left holding 2/3 of the atomizer while like, the base part like remained attached to the mod (my cylon as it happens, LOL) the Cylon's fine but that was one of my FAVORITE combinations AND high nic.

Very interesting to see all the guts of the atomizer like that. I'm in deep doubt that it's fixable and also, I sort of feel, "You don't deserve to have it fixed, Anna."

I believe it may be time for more ADHD medication that and to get up and Get Moving although to be fair, the lengthy discussion about our "staggered move" to Sierra Vista well we were in total agreement actually even BEFORE we discussed most things. I am conceding the RV for now (I mean, to be fair, return to work is a DUMB time to RV it up) and he is conceding "designing and building us a house."

We are both conceding to me getting a small and cheaper than weekly cost of gas apartment (oh thank God, my ability to tolerate that kind of commute is low) as the husband (and me on weekends) can like, slowly finish the stuff in the house that Must be fixed and whatever, and then we will both be in an apartment, then buy a plot of land with amenities and *I GET* to chose the mobile home we bring there. I am 100% willing to sacrifice space (by at least a third) and to prioritize it not looking like some sort of homemade well, something or other lab, plus it being younger.

With mobile homes, you definitely want them to be WAY younger and more functional than you. In the meantime we will be paying down and knocking over debt and well, it can work, I think.

I am 100% regretful that the husband JUST replaced our heating/cooling system, man, but like, he did NOT consult me on that one other than to let me know (my mom was here too, he SO snuck it in) that A/C folks were coming and he signed that contract ALL on his own. LOL.

I suppose to be fair, many of my vape purchases were disclosed long after the fact, so we are BOTH guilty.

I'd love to unload this house for more than we paid for, I will say South Tucson is booming even MORE so than Tucson, but whav's mainly we had a nice talk.

Oh mah, to compensate for my Ares, I just set up the black 24 mm Siren @bigbob2322 so kindly donated to me, due to my love of Sirens. It is not leaking, and I sorta underwicked it a bit, if anything.

I am going to say it once again (I know you lot think I am nutty for this observation) that the black sirens vape SO MUCH BETTER than the gunmetal ones. Like , I swear it! You wouldn't think a finish would make that kind of difference now would you but it SO DOES? I mean, the black it's instant flavor, going through eliquid MUCH faster (and the airflow's the dang same) I could put THE SAME Juice in the gunmetal siren and tell with a BLIND taste test. I really think there is something direly and totally WRONG with the gunmetal siren, and I vape those approximately 50 times less than I do my black ones. I was wondering if the black 24 would be like that and now I know.

Don't mind me, back to your regularly scheduled programming although I LOVE the black 24 mm Siren MORE than my Ares, tastewise by FAR. Also, IDK what magic touch by which I make them not leak, other than they don't leak AND I felt all competent coiling and wicking it up as the husband was talking about earned income from renting our house and talking about taxes and the need to consult a CPA, which are FAR from ideal conditions in which to like, set up a tank.

But it's lovely, I miss the Ares 0% and than you, @bigbob2322 and if I ever buy another Siren in my life, it will be black. LOL.

Are you sure the Ares can’t be repaired? Glad the black Siren is working out so well for you lol! I think my gunmetal Supreme v2 vapes better than the ss one lol! Seriously :D
