Decorative mod panels are SO allowed if blinging one's mod out leads one to feel more favorably about vaping, hence making it so that the sufferer can continue to vape (stormtrooper mod).

Anna :D

So I can get panels for my Pulse to match my Harley!!!!!

And then... there's SMART recovery, which I believe is centered around "controlling" one's alcoholism. IIRC (I'm not sure I do) the founder died in a DUI??? I always wanted to attend at least one for the LOLZ, and by that I mean the white knuckling desperate attempt to "drink like a normal person."

Yeah, if I could do THAT, I wouldn't NEED smart recovery would I, because I tried plenty of strategies on my own....:lol::lol:.

The shinyitis thread isn't gonna make anyone white knuckle shinyitis. Heck, come on in here and brag about it if you so desire! Every member of this thread is doing "their part" to address shinyitis, by being a shining example of virtue, or by falling of the wagon and confessing.... It's all good :)

Also, if I had a Harley (too many high speed bicycle crashes as a teen, I know what falling off is like, so I don't) I definitely would want my mod to match, I mean, you need a little HARM REDUCTION on a motorcycle after all.

Feel free to use my reasoning with the wife... :D

Anna
She doesn't really have a leg to stand on when it comes to "matchy matchy" with anything having to do with the Harleys. She is the one that had to get a new helmet to match the new jacket that she picked up because "it was on sale" at the dealership.

Inventory at work.

I am now convinced that if Dante were to write Inferno today, recounts would have their own ring in Hell.

I just took the biggest hit I've ever taken on my Pulse and felt nicotine in my toes. Thank God for vaping, cause I'd need talking off the roof today.

Shinyitis only leads to...well...sometimes the good things in life

View attachment 704531

That reminds me. I think that I "need" a tube mod. Here's my reasoning. I already have 5 regulated mods, 1 regulated squonk mod, 2 mech squonk mods, a parallel semi mech box mod, and a Smok V8. Notice anything missing??? Yep, a tube mod. Am I correct that this qualifies as a need purchase (if I find one I love and it's not too much $)?

Hey @jfcooley where do we get setup with a sponsor we can call when the urge strikes?? Can you give out your number so on those nights I can't sleep and get a sale email at 2am You can talk me down??? :confused:

That post caused me to literally choke on my vape. Brilliant

Of all the people on the forum jfcooley is the LAST person you want to call if you want to be talked OUT of buying something. He is like the little devil on your shoulder whispering: "buy it, just buy it, you know you want it, you'll be happy if you do....JUST BUY IT DAMNIT, BUY TWO OF THEM!"

I think he's actually an undercover agent sent by the Chinese Vape Manufacturers Association.

Not close enough apparently.... :lol::lol:.

This is actually why links are NOT encouraged on the shinyitis thread, but I can only control my OWN behaviors, and periodically at best, so I blame no one but myself.

Hopefully when it arrives, I will have forgotten shame and guilt about it, I chose the cheapest shipping option so I bet it arrives in July.

Oh well, there is going to be apparently no need to help the kid with his court costs, fines, jailtime etc. I WAS preparing for it, but it appears that will NO longer be necessary. And, giving a kid help with their probation fees and stuff is really the WORST Christmas gift, so all will be well, I'm fairly certain. :)

Anna

Congrats! Just found out my problem child will get to come home on the 23rd. Hopefully this will be one of those things we all look back on years from now and laugh off.

Now we know why giving out personal information is discouraged.... I choked on my vape actually while imagining JFCooley as a "reluctant sponsor" at 2 a.m.

Y'all can call me at 2 a.m...... I am a VERY SOUND sleeper, LOL. My husband might pick up, though, and he's GREAT at controlling shinyitis (well mine, and well, not so much) but he hasn't started vaping YET, so he's probably a valuable resource. Based on his tool collection, if he takes to vaping we may have to rob a BANK.

The husband's morning "speech" (he has one every time I accidentally wake him up early) is making me rethink my decision on this one. I can't help being a clumsy, early awakener.


You and my wife!! I swear, before I married her, I never imagined such a small woman could Clydesdale around a room making such a racket! And not the good kind of Clydesdales either that bring you a cold beer on a sunny winter day, but like a Clydesdale who forgot to take his Ritalin and had too much coffee.
