You are such an awesome person. Your Dad will absolutely love it

Nah,just barely above average
I can vape for now so i am content with what i have,poor pops has to go thru those struggles 3 times a week.
I hope this let him pass those hours more sanely,just that.

But thanks for saying that AngeNZ

Got my Pathology report back yesterday. The cancer taken out this time was the same as the cancer taken out last year at this time. Both times all lymph nodes clear. All have weighed in, the Pulmonologist, the oncologist, and the Thoracic surgeon and all say this was part of what was removed last year. Same cancer just not seen last year as it was too small. This means I am stage one and no chemo. I did a happy dance. I will do another here

Wohooooo!!!



So good to hear,i am really really really but like literally really happy for you.
Go out and enjoy,or at least treat yourself to a nice dinner with a good wine

P.S:Baring the covid situation just order some take out and a 6 pack of beer lol

A7 is nice he will like it.
Got the Mrs one for Christmas. One of the few left with a headphone jack lol.

Oh and take decent pics

Yeh i just noticed that,think it's a 8 megapixel camera,meh to take a couple of pics when i get some vapemail that is noteworthy.
My pops needs the headphone jack,he doesn't like those tiny bluetooth headphones and to be honest neither do i.
I'm still rocking a pair of Sennheiser that cover the whole ear.
I've had for like more than 10 years,now i am using them less and less because they are starting to show their old age but oh man do they sound good.
Sennheiser

So vapemail came in today,i got a twofer!!

First package was just some Shiva aroma,dang I'm addicted to that mint fresh throat hit,loving it.
Gotta start trying some flavor to it,was thinking maybe some Mango or something else fruity.

Second box was that package i was getting from China that i had no idea what it was or who it was from.
It was from Rebecca over at Univapo,the one that sent me the coils for the UA25 Sub Ohm tank,she mentioned something about maybe sending me a Miso Pod Kit but i totally forgot about it.

So in my second box she had sent me 2 Miso Pod Kits and 3 spare pods

Things a bit hectic but i will give them out a try and write a review,big shout out to you @UNIVAPO_Rebecca thanks for the Miso's.
Please give me a couple of days to get a nice review done,things a bit hectic here so gotta find some ''me'' time so i can get it done properly.

Actually got paid today a small commission from a translating job between a lawyer and his clients,it all went well so he came over and gave me 250 euros.

Wish i could have spent it on vaping stuff but i feel bad for my pops,he spends like more than 4 hours in a armchair 3 times a week getting his dialysis so i went with the sensible option and ordered him a gift from Amazon.

Got him a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (32gb version) 10.,4'',that along with a good sturdy case,some extra storage in the form of an sd card came about 250.63 euros so yeah I'm poor again.

Arrives on Saturday,can't wait to see the look on his face,i mean now i can put some movies,tv series and music in the tablet and those long dreadful dialysis sessions will be less of a bore for him.

Still you know a bit bummed out,so many shiny stuff i would have liked to have but meh I got enough to keep me off the cigs and it's priceless when you do something good for a family member,am i right?

Well that's about it,mixing my Shiva aroma with my Cellar Base pack and watching a movie at the same time.
Days of Thunder...dang what a knockout

She was 3rd on my list of movie crushes from the 90's

P.S: No camera yet so can't post pics of my vapemail,think the tablet has a camera will have to use that one when it gets here.

You're a good man

Good morning shinies

Luv y'all ..have an awesome day!!

Still adding my flavours. I'll do more later....got to go to the bio shop this morning

 

[NolaMel]

I'm here

I would send them to you in a heartbeat! But, I’m afraid shipping would be more than the mods

Been there, done that Mel. Haha - should see how much postage from Aus to that part (not Charlie/France) of europe is. Never again.

That's kind of you but I just meant I'm here in the thread. I agree it seems a bit thin at the mo

I sometimes buy from Canada...that's not too bad because of the EU/Canada trade deal.
I just bought from the UK and got slapped with an 80 euro import tax

Bugger that. Do all packages coming in to France get hit with the import tax or is it random samples/luck?

For the UK it's Brexit related and I've only bought once from the UK since it started so I'm not sure ..I think certain items are exempt.
As far as Canada is concerned never had a problem with hardware....maybe it's the same for UK....not sure. My order was food stuff (flavourings).

Right. Brexit has slipped under the radar with the pandemic taking all the attention.
Hopefully the trade structure between the UK and the rest of Europe becomes as free as possible.

I only had one experience with Canada to Aus postage. You probably remember me whingeing about how slow it was

Yes I must admit it was slow for me in fact so slow I contacted the guy and said it must have been lost....I ended up with two. The second one he sent arrived reasonably quickly and then about a month later the other one turned up

People have been talking about that on the Chef’s Fb group. Will that get ironed out in the future, or is it just the cost of Brexit?

I think it's just the cost of Brexit. Obviously the free trade deal didn't actually mean what we all thought it meant eg it excludes foodstuffs....I think.

I was not pleased I can tell you
