What amazes me are the ones who don't vape and think it's a good idea to open a vape shop!

There is one near us and walked passed it the other day saw next to big window beautiful hookah's which brought back fond memories of the 70s.
Would mention more but Classwife would scorn me or worse.

We have SOOOOO many "vape emporiums" in Tucson, that really are so little "vape related" that I hesitate to go there. I just call them "Laundromats" because I have absolutely no idea why certain parts of the town are dotted with "vape emporiums" and the only people "enjoying the equipment" are the employees but they remain in business. I can think of one block where there's like 6 of them in close proximity.

I also no longer purchase anything from them, as the one time I did I paid for 5 nautilus coils and got four.... from an open tub that the employee scooped them out of after a LONG conversation about what I wanted. I did not return for my 5th coil, let me put it that way.

I have accidentally mixed two flavors together and had good results

Me too.

Have more than a few of those memories myself. Good times.

The husband is organized. Disturbingly so. I can't figure out how he puts up with my disorganization, although he does at times (usually late at night) wax on a bit disturbingly about how he was "sent" here to "rescue me" from "some spiral." To be fair, we both believe in the afterlife and stuff, I'm just usually slightly less specific about the whole endeavor.

I always ask, "Save me from what? You?" that ends the conversation.

Although I will say we tend to be intrigued by what we don't know about, so it's not so infrequently that a hoarder/disorganized mess will be paired up with an organizational genius and etc. I'm okay with it. I don't touch the filing system, he stays out of my closet, etc.

After he dies, I guess I will be having to up my organizational game, although honestly, I function just fine on my own. The husband would just FREAK though, if I tried to take over the bills, (I did try, once, just because he was super stressed. But, I have put my bill-paying skills in storage, until I need them, hopefully never.) I just wanted to prove to the husband that I could DO IT, I mean I raised some of a kid and got a master's degree in the process AND paid my bills, in fact when we met, it was *I* who purchased our first house, as I had the credit history to do it. He did not. LOL. Since becoming a "family person" he got much more responsible, things didn't exactly start out that way.

SO GLAD to either stick to this husband until the bitter end, or just live alone. I will have dates, boyfriends, but I am never living with another person again. It's too exhausting.

Oh, the husband came in all upset, he must REALLY be quitting because he was "paralyzed with indecision" about creating a TV antenna since we no longer have cable. "I know what to do!" he said. "I just can't wrap my brain around it! What if something goes wrong!" he said.

He is talking about pieces of wire, like coat hangers. He's an engineer. I think it's REAL. I did ask when he last smoked and he said, "I don't remember!" LOL, I'm hoping that's good, not "I just smoked one because I got all altercated about our antenna."

Anna

Yes before cable when there was just a few channels and we had to change them manually to watch the bullfights and wrestling we always had added to the stock antenna some tin foil and or coathangers twisted.
Learned my lesson when we first bought this house and i went on slanted roof to install large antenna it was ok then years later with cable installed went back up there to cut the metal straps that held it to chimney walking downwards to it i slipped and only thing that saved me was that chimney.
I took it down though and said a prayer with thanks and promised never to go up there again.

Thanks guys.
Will try some of these suggestions once I can see better.

You know, I HATE opossums, but I actually LIKE @Sickbxy , it's kind of a conundrum. LOL.

I immediately had the "it wasn't me" moment too, but to be fair, it HAS been me lots of times, so I'm not going to feel all guilty about having it. I have also encountered that particular "rule" in the past, and the reason for it (a vendor) and the reason not to use it in any other context.

See, just a couple. No need for a support group if you ask me. My wife does not agree. She asked me not long ago if I was opening a vape shop.

 

[Sickbxy]

It's amazing how little most of them know about vaping. Maybe because after working in a vape shop all day the last thing they want to do is watch vaping vids

This particular shop is good, they educate themselves, do the Youtube thing, pay attention to Mooch. This girl, it was her second day, so we were setting her up with an RDA and decent mod, walked her through a build so she could start practicing herself.

Very nice! We'll find some pics to show your wife different.

 

[stols001]

My husband has made unkind statements and gestures about my (swollen) vape collection, but I think at this point, it's probably fair. I just impulsively load up carts and then think, "Wait, WHAT are you doing," and leave wherever I'm at. I think it's a step in the healthy direction. LOL.

I used to be able to point out "But I'm not smoking, you are!" Those days are pretty much gone, LOL. And he refuses any other mods I try to give him, so well.

I would never open a vape shop. Honestly, I think the only people who would CONSIDER it at this juncture would HAVE to be non vapers.... All that work, just to get shut down by the FDA. I mean... 90% are juice sales, right? What does the FDA hate? Flavors.

If I don't like a person who muses about it, I might actually CONSIDER telling them to go for it, but "considering" is different than "doing." Honestly.

Ha! Busted me, huh? Yes, I'm much more of a lurker than a poster. But, I have a couple shinies I can show off when I get a chance to take a pic. For now, how about a pic of my pup?

Beautiful thanks for sharing your picture.

 

[Sickbxy]

Gah! Having to self censor, the struggle is real!

 

[Sickbxy]

Ok, I found something that is not an innuendo!

I could never get into that show. I quit somewhere in season 3. Same with Game of Thrones. The last episode of that one was where whatshisface got chewed up by his own dogs at the end.

I loved Peaky Blinders and I'm bummed that we don't get more until 2019.

Punisher has been awesome. Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage were pretty good. Iron Fist stunk but The defenders was cool as cucumbers.
