im glad to hear so far so good. Hopefully it will continue this way.

I go from “normal” to sobbing without warning. Recieved the call his ashes were ready to be picked up this morning. Ugh.
Thanks for even asking considering all you’re going through

I feel for you. Bringing my dogs home that last time was every bit as heartbreaking as picking up my husband’s ashes. When I was bringing my poodle home, Fire and Rain came on the radio and completely destroyed me. I had to pull over and bawl. I’m just grateful the funeral home took care of mom. I don’t know how many more times I can do that and still function.

Whoops. I accidentally... some vape gear. Further proof that idle time and an internet connection are prime environments where shinyitis hides and breeds. While innocently surfing around in a wholesome manner, I stumbled across 8vape and their evil mega sale...

So now I have a Nova kit on the way for a little over 18 bucks.

And a Frenzy for $9 and some change. Not too painful a price to pay for a brief distraction in the greater scope of things.

I was “lucky” my mom died when I was 17 so didn’t have to do anything. When my dad died when I was 36 he had set up and paid for the ENTIRE service inc flowers and song choices! He was a bit ocd. He probably thought we’d screw it up. Which we would have lmao!!

my dogs live with me every single moment. They “know” me better than any human alive. It’s a totally different pain and suffering but it hurts just the same.

Well, of course I just HAD to buy and order all that juice today. Now the ban was frozen by a TRO by the Appellate Court in NY. Oh well, I guess I'm gonna vape it all anyway.

You made the frozen ban happen! and Murphy is a brat

For those that havent heard there was good news on the ban front today.
The courts blocked the new york ban tomorrow. There will be a hearing on the 18th and they have basically asked for proof that flavors are harmful. I think we should celebrate every little victory over the fascist a-holes.
Here is a post from the vta. Also dna sent an email.

Morning shinies



So did the bank let you eventually order one??? and what colour???

Titan. Took two bank clearances and a hold at customs, but it’s back on its way here. Hoping there’s no customs charge.

We all know it was @Eskie 's doing, but I'm celebrating the TRO as well

 

[NolaMel]

It’s coming UPS. Has anyone had customs charges with them? My only concern is that they held and then released it, and it’s expensive

 

[Tralfaz]

OK, now I'm excited. Hopefully they didn't change much more than the orientation of the post screws. The original is near perfect and I still have all of mine in rotation.

I got a package from Stabwood Mods today via UPS. No charges.

In the package, by the way, were a beautiful purple and green Pumper 18 and a pink Thor, which is much, much prettier than I expected.

Lovely package you received
I think some Lovely pictures are in order! Especially of Thor

Unfortunately, my wife only lets me spend what I used to spend on smoking per month($150 to $200) on vaping.

Gosh. That seems so reasonable and yet unfair at the same time.

I am NOT suggesting this in any way shape or form, but the cost of cigarettes has gone up quite a a bit, and if you tried really hard to chain smoke, you could perhaps renegotiate with the wife.

Desperate times and all that (please don't take my suggestion but you could PRETEND to. Like, vape on the down low, and then let the cigarettes burn in the ashtrays so you smell like smoke etc.)

I should point out I am not only LICENSED but also EXPERT in the state I am in for "marriage and family counseling." YES! I help couples for a living apparently... They say I do.

I specifically turned off that part of my brain for this post and like tried to think like a "deviant, devious teen," for this post. I apologize.

But man, when someone utters the word "lets me" it sort of brings out my inner teen and she is not very social or prosocial or ANYTHIING. The inner teen wants what she wants... and she WANTED this post.

You could also "fake" get sick and spend some medical copays.... . Come home with potentially dire news about your "relapse."

This is ALSO why I let the husband do the finances. Etc.

I agree with @Daniel Forsyth .... pictures are a must!

My only worry was because it got held then released by customs. No idea what that means. UPS notified me.

Eskie, the nicest vaper in New York (@Eskie don't let it go to your head it is NY) announces his "last" commercial juice buy and like the ban disappears. It will be fine you got it super cheap.

Now, we are just going to need you to go from State to State where there are bans and politely clear out the shop while musing aloud how tragic it is and we should be set.

You can be our "nice" missile and that's better than a "smart" missile. LOL I don't mean it like that, maybe we could label you both.

I'll kick in some funding just to SEE if it works you can keep the juice though, it sounds worse than rump tobacco, frankly. Which is somehow FOUL sounding while being not juvenile, which is almost worse. Buy some rump, but don't send me any. LOL.

No means, sadly. And with all the money I've been spending on vaping gear (and another Dani Box Mini more than just a twinkle in my eye), I don't see me getting anything picture-takable anytime soon. Although with Black Friday just around the corner, who knows? (But then I'd have to buy a router, too, and remind myself how to set it up. Yuck.)

I dreamed I was pulling a battery out of one of the tube mods and tore the whole side of the wrapper off. Scared, chucked it out the front door, and Georgia thought I was playing fetch and ran after it.

I agree, not normal. But if you’re shooting for normal, you’re aiming way too low.

I have dreams like this sometimes. It's just anxiety and worries about life showing up in our dreams I think, courtesy of the subconscious. I think this is to be expected right now with all of the drama happening in the vaping scene in the USA. If it makes you feel better, most vapers are not considered normal. You're in good company.
