I feel like Goldilocks today. I couldn’t find anything that grabbed my shiny. mods were either squonkers ( sorry, not there yet), lit up like a carnival ride, out of stock ( single source),or were too big :(. Decided on more nicotine and bottles, then on a whim threw in some flavors.

You are exaggerating to make your point and the exaggeration is unnecessary.

No one has been killed or suffered a life-threatening injury by misusing or abusing their e-cig batteries. Disfigured, yes. Killed, no.

If ECF saved the use of popups for important communications only, there would be very few complaints. They don't. They use them for every promotion campaign that enters their collective head. It has become annoying to the point that I have turned on both my ad- and popup blockers.

I'm a supporting member. I've already paid for the privilege of not seeing ads or popups. That was the deal I signed up for and a deal is a deal.

No buts. No exceptions.

It's not really an exaggeration if you think about it.

What Mooch does doesn't have to affect any one of us (if we are all low wattage vapers, for instance) to have a major impact on vaping as we know it.

A few underage kids in New York get their hands on a juul and suddenly the media and the Senate is announcing this huge epidemic we are in and demanding a limitation on both nicotine and flavors.

Can anyone imagine the impact that a couple hundred disfiguring accidents (that never happened because of education and accurate information) would have had on the legality of vaping had they occured?

We are fighting for our lives against a government that needs just one excuse to remove from us this cause of revenue loss called vaping..

Vaping saved my life.. I'll fight to make sure it's available to save someone else's and I'll darn sure never take this gift called legal vaping for granted, nor will I take those who fight for all of us to continue vaping for granted.

I'm not giving Mooch any money, however I don't discourage anyone from either doing so or disagreeing with my choice. I have my reasons that don't reflect my respect for the man, but I'm also not carrying on a debate as to why.

CC has it, little irritated by ECF and the pop ups. Remember reading in of the perks, besides no ads, was automatically being entered into contests (I'm don't know if that still counts), so I don't need to be alerted. As well they are the 1st thread so kinda hard to miss.

I don't run an ad blocker all the time, feel that having paid I shouldn't have to here.

Take it all for granted I don't care.

I'm out of your thread. I don't have time for people this petty and self centered.

Really I dont.

Seriously?
Fine, go.

Overreact but don't expect me to feel bad.

Hi Shiny folk,

My nic arrived. LOL. That's it for awhile. Today has been crayzee! If I cannot, by my own hand, disable myself from here (it's fine when I'm not LOGGED on) 1.5 hrs after all my morning meds and coffee (it's a great way to wake up... maybe not for you lot as you plough through all my incoherence) but yea, for me a great way to wake up, but I'm threatening myself with total internet disablement. Srsly. Today wasn't bad (I even cleaned the kitchen and am SO close to the puzzle piece part of things with my book, it's actually quite gratifying to see where I STARTED editing (which obvs needs fixing, that's how it works) well, man. I will be gone for a while, but I think my .plan is motivating enough. I just have to disengage, at a set time, heh.

But yes, even cleaned the house and etc., I just gotta clean the bathroom (and myself) and get dinner in the oven.

I've been doing good on the shiny stuff, however. So, there's that. I just wish my self-control were easier .Life was actually (IMO) a lot more manageable when I had someone ELSE (my employer) giving me a set schedule and etc. Oh, I will also I guess, turn some notifications off. That should help. But, giving me 2 more days to get this down to "this is your coffee and chain vape time."

Also, man, I so wish that I could go back in time and do a MFA not engl/;phil. being able to critique teaches you NOTHING about how to write. Oh well. I'm still going, so there is that.

I still think I've approached things backwards. My little sis (she's a lawyer, and clerks in some program (fed) she can't talk about) who is my toughest critique-r is giving me GOOD feedback this time. LOL. It's all "I like it" instead of, "Oh, God, I can handle it when your protagonist thinks in that fashion but your dialogue just sucks" and "I know it's my pet peeve because as a lawyer, well, everyone's always italicizing stuff, I know it's your speaking AND writing style, but if you use too many italics, everything is always important, so nothing is important"i and stuff like that..

She's really my fiercest critic but she reads a lot, so an "I really like it!" is great, coming from her,. LOL.

I gotta put the oven on, I will be around more interemittently I think/hope.

Happy shinyitis to all and yeh this is how I sound after I freaking... Concentrate for 6 hours on fixing lilterature. After that, I will be cleaning my toilet. LOL.

Which nic did you end up getting Heartlands? I bought my last 2 liters for the stockpile.

Looks like I am entering "As The Vape Turns".

The popups don't bother me, and I run ad blocker on every site.

If someone want's to donate, then donate.

If someone doesn't want to donate, then don't.

Pretty simple if you ask this clown.

I was wrong.

I re-read the pitch page and freedom from ads and popups is not part of the deal. That's not mentioned.

Still keeping the blockers up. And I still encourage everyone to be an ECF supporting member if they can do so.

Could have sworn no ads was part of the deal.
Guess I'll use by blocker then.

I love those but they don’t have for any of my RDAs. Sooooo I might just have to buy another RDA lol!!
Since the new site they've been adding new rdas. Dead Rabbit and Entheon are new.

I gotta say the shipping was quick, and there was no way it was gonna break. It was bubble wrapped in a box.

Mine too!
Every time I order from China, I remember why I hate it. Yes, it saves $$$, but I hate waiting, especially when you have no idea how long the wait is. Then, I end up ordering stuff from the US to entertain me till the other stuff comes :blink:

I have little money, but even less patience:)

    No it's not overreacting..

    It's a reaction to you sitting around b###ing because you had to be inconvenienced by a pop up telling you someone who spends their free time in effort for the community wanted to share 1:30 of his thoughts.

    God knows talking about how much money your going to spend is SO much more important.

    As I said. Self centered and petty. If you weren't you would have closed the pop-up and gone on with your life.

    Not my kind of people... never will be.

    I ordered nothing today! I did fix all my RTAs and rewick and such.

    I also did the big stitch together! It's gonna work and still not (quite, heh) end up like a German opera! (Hopefully.) But, for the most part YAY! Srsly, anyone who has read ONE of my posts knows one of my biggest issues is WORD COUNT. LOL. But now, I can go in there with a toothcomb and attack, safe in the knowledge that eh, all should be well.

    Not much else got done, but you try writing a book backwards. Tomorrow is hang out with my kid day and the weekend, although I just really want to finish this sucker up, ASAP.

    Speaking of Grermans @untar , thanks for the technological aid. I'd feel a bit more grown up just turning off the internet myself.... But, always good to have the heavy hand of backups, LOL.

    I refuse to get involved in a daytime soap opera. No, the "automatically entered" thing has been addressed on several occasions, apparently it's scattered about and some of the links to it are not updated. I don't get most pop ups but I don't mind Mooch's. I may offer financial support, after all my bills are paid and etc., but frankly most of my safety money is reserved for my kid. My kid's probably less useful than Mooch, frankly, but I'd have a hard time watching either of them STARVE to death, and I see my kid far more often than Mooch (although, in his videos he doesn't look like an over eater, either.

    It's easy to get all verclempt about this type of stuff but it's not NECESSARY. LOL. I have had my share of internet dramaz, so please lets not turn the Shinyitis thread into Facebook, even if FB is "apparently" on the way out, depending on who you ask.
