I think that the ATF needs to ban fruit flavored liquor. You know, the kids and all.

How about alcoholic ice cream (yes, ice cream with alcohol in it)? I mean no way little Johnnie will get confused going into the freezer for some ice cream, right? But flavored juice is the greatest danger facing children since the core curriculum came along.

I was getting ready to say, it’ll look twice as big in my hand... but quite small in either case. How’s the af/draw?
from very, very tight to something you still can't get a restricted DL from on the 5th hole unless you slipstream (i'm no MTL expert though). will have its uses for me certainly.

I am confused, I thought the core curriculum developers and the fear of flavors people were one and the same?

I have to say, I found the core curriculum pretty dangerous. Any system that penalizes you for creativity AND getting the right answer in math (the only way I could really do it past a certain point) should be taken out and shot.

Also.… Curriculums are only needed if you don't want to/can't teach the generation before what they need to know.

Also, shop and home ec can be pretty creative places and not everyone is going into heady acadamia.

I promise... We're not ALL gonna be happy when we run out of plumbers, engineers and mechanics. I mean I will be the husband can do all of that stuff, so I'll be fine. The rest of you? IDK, some of you.

I unplugged a drain at the apartment last week. I told no one especially not the husband. It was like when we were rushing to leave the east coast, well, I totally trimmed the garden perfectly because my dad taught me how, only I didn't care for it. Fortunately we came to cactus land. Like, I can't do those.

With that said, if I HAD to learn all that stuff? I so would. YouTube videos. I really hope the utilitarian part of youtube never goes away because well, I may be clumsy but I AM determined.

Speaking of, I have decided THE LEAST favorite part of vaping is THE GRUB SCREW.

It's name is apt, it's like this revolting little maggot that is easily unscrewed, then dropped and you can't find it and ALSO, you are like "MAGGOTS in my apartment!" and it's horrifying. I have another SIren I'm gonna make the husband replace the grub screw and coil it. I didn't even WORRY about the maggot infestation, I was like "Let the next tenant deal with it." LOL I do plan on vacuuming and shampooing. But, if the maggot remains, I DON'T care.

There has GOT to be a better system but I can't think of one other than little end pieces that keep it TRAPPED but then like, you'd get a stripped grub screw.... WAIT.

Little Tiny Washers that are Unscrew able on the end and then like, if the screw gets stripped, you can take it off THEN, and then and only THEN do you have to deal with removing a grub screw.

Really, I think this may have novel applications and then if so I might email the vape company making rebuildables who cater most to the elderly?

I think I'm just a mess of excitement and nerves, but I think my idea's like, fine. The rest, IDK.

Agree, some people are just better with their hands than books. My husband was a smart guy, but he was genius with anything mechanical.

If a task was done with a tool, any tool, he had the talent to do it. My son takes after him to a degree, he trained as a machinist.

My daughter is more like me, bookish but a bit handy. This is a DIY kind of town, so most of us pick up skills along the way.

That’s a big part of why I’m hesitant to date again... I have high expectations, if a guy can’t tear my washer apart and get it going, I can’t even. I mean I can fix that myself, why would I need him?

he could maybe play you a tune on the fiddle while you were doing it...

My main instrument is guitar, but I can fiddle, play a little piano, used to play drums. Want a ukulele one of these days. Anything string/percussion I could figure out, wish I had the lungs for sax but nope, no way.

Good morning shiny folks, still catching up. I have a Joytech evod 2.0 and I love it. Not enogh to remember it's true name apparently. A backup arrived yesterday for my closet. I forgot I even ordered it! In true joytech fashion (IMHO) it sometimes fails to read the coil and I have to jiggle it, but nothing too bad. I love the hand feel.

Also my boss summoned me yesterday. They want me to do the job I am already doing there now only on the edge of the world but I get to do counseling from 3--5 3 or 4 days a week.

Same (obscene to me) salary plus a 20k stipend. We are gonna live in South south Bisbee the husband had a meltdown about living in Douglas but I kinda agree with him.

LOL I would buy something shiny but like, somehow, I don't feel the need. This kind of makes things real, we have got to be moved by March 31st. I think we can... But it's gonna be hard. That is for sure. Etc.

But I am crazy excited! Everything I could want!
Anna
I'm very happy for you. Too bad you have to move again, though.

Come now, why stop there? Surely everything that is used to flavor any alcoholic beverage or e liquid should be banned, too, so people don't develop a taste for them and thus be attracted to the dark side. Let's see--that would be most fruits, some vegetables, many spices, butter, all sweeteners. And that's just for starters.

As for shinyitis damage, here's what I've acquired since November 2 of last year (the tally is probably incomplete, but close enough):

Asmodus Colossal x 6
Dicodes Dani Box Mini
Dovpo M VV
Innokin Kroma-A
Eleaf Pico 25 x 5
Eleaf Pico
Evic Primo Mini
Geekape Aegis
JAC Vapour DNA75b Sandstorm x 3
Sinuous P80
Vaporesso Armour Pro x 2
Yihi SX Mini SL
17 Innokin Zenith tanks
2 Innokin Zenith D22 tanks
46 boxes Innokin Zenith replacement coils
2 liters nicotine (enough to last me the rest of my life)
a bunch of e liquid
2 bridgeless atomizers
2 battery chargers
8 Samsung 30Q batteries
2 Samsung 40T batteries
battery wraps
battery caps

I have not totaled the damages and do not intend to.

Why, thank you! If I added up how much I've spent, I have a feeling shame would set in, but, as it is, I only regret the Sinuous P80 and the SX Mini SL. And I don't feel too bad about either, because the P80 was reasonably cheap and the SX Mini is a good mod; I just don't love it and wouldn't have spent so much on it if I'd known I wouldn't.

I’d be embarrassed to list all the gear I’ve purchased in the 13 months I’ve been vaping.

All I remember was something about Deeming, Bans and Vapacolypse so I went diving in determined that now I found a way not to smoke no one was going to stop me lol!!

At this rate I’ve got a “new” mod to use each year for the next 30 years lol!!! And at my age I’ll probably be in a nursing home by then - horrors :shock: !
I think I'll add one more and then have one for each day. Yea, I hear you, did exactly the same. Until I needed money for my holidays and decided to sell some just to have pocket cash... Got almost 3000 dollars out of what I wasn't using... Lesson learned.

Eh, I totaled it for you. If it makes you feel any better, that would be short of a monthly parking garage rate in Manhattan. See? Everything is relative (and yes I noticed there was a Dicodes in the mix, with that maybe a parking garage in Queens, in some areas).

Edit; sorry, I missed the 46 packs of Zenith coils, so your car is safe for the month with enough left over for a lunch or two out. No dinner and a movie though.

Would that be at Famous Ray’s or Original Rays?

I was always amazed at how many different Ray’s pizza’s there were in Manhattan.



And they keep suing each other over the name. Best bet is Patsy's. They still use their original coal fired brick oven from like 1910. That's good pizza.

    It's a shiny Saturday here. The deep freeze is over and the vape mail has resumed.

    Definitely going to need a bigger atty. All of my current favorites look comical on this guy. It really is about the girth.

    Well, you made me even more happy I don't live in the City. That's something.
