sI have three totally working looking lovely in box Procyons does that mean I am 1500 bucks richer? That would be nice. Glad I haven't gotten anything shiny in a while, all our insurances are due. Hate that.

I LOATHE the subscription model for software and if I could not break them immediately I would buy used Windows 7 computers. It's EVIL I tell you.P

OMG what a DAY. I finished all my CEUs and licensure and forwarded them to like, the credentialing person who was emailing me hourly until I said. YES I KNOW MY DUE DATE I WILL DO THEM THIS WEEKEND. I mean it was getting annoying. Imagine, credentialing person, if my license got overdue, and here I am 2 weeks EARLYish (I am due on 8/31/19).

It was still hell on ice. I am glad I started yesterday. Even though I do have this patented system. Half, I choose things I know backward and forward. I have a CEU system that will let you take the test 3 times. So I do my Social Work Code of Ethics, and I get 100% every time the first try. If I don't know it by now, well.

AND BY THE WAY the SW profession is the only one that says it is NEVER okay to bang your clients, even 29 years later. Some of the other specialties say 2 or 4 years and I say "ARE YOU SANE."

God, with some of the stuff I hear... No thanks. Also it's just not right to take advantage of a person like that. It's like WORSE than picking up some chick 2 days sober at an AA meeting, frankly. GO SW.

The other half, I go for interest. Things I'm like OKAY medical mistakes in the counseling field that one. I take the test, and I google some. A lot of times, I get lucky. That is test number one.

Then I write down all the ones I get wrong and skim the material more or less. I mean, it's like, I read fast, it's fine.

There is the occasional one I'm like hmm I'm just gonna read this and it will all be good. Then take the test ONCE.

Seriously though, if you have to do like 33 CEUs in a day, well online is the way. Because even if I read the material Very Slowly it's still not gonna take me the timej a seminar would.

It still SUCKS though. I do this every two years. Yo soy una idiota. My husband says, "Why don't you do one once month and I was like, "Why didn't you fix the house after the fire?"

LOL. I couldn't Dragon because of an administrator password issue. I don't think I know what IT thinks I will do with an admin password, but something horribly bad I guess. So, I could not pair my microphone to my dragon and my commands, like ALL my commands it seems like, were immaterial.

The thing about dictation software is, it's the best. You COMMAND it and it's like "OOH ooh boss me more."

I was a bit sad but what can you do. Fingers hurt .Stupid CEUS.

I got my own NEW computer out of the box but it wanted some security key from my phone which... IDK. Cortanta was talking to me too, I hate her. I think I am gonna like it but also, I am going to be transferring my 365 from THIS computer to IT. If I ever recover. I was gonna do yoga I could not. Tomorrow at 5 am should suit.

Anyway I am exhausted I wanted

I can do 114 not in the shade. I wear a big hat but I'm just saying.

I also completed a 28 mile hike when it was over a hundred degrees. I had been detoxing from a horrible thing for like a MONTH and like, somehow THAT day I wanted to like, go LOOK FINALLY at the covered bridge at Chiricahua National Park.

That hike is misleading. I was all thinking "I will frolic on the covered natural stone bridge and it will be awesome!

There was a sign. Pointing at it. Over a mile away. It looked small and insignificant and I WAS MAD. Then the husband gave me some peanut M&Ms and like that was they day I got over my distaste for peanuts. I still LOVE them. They are like shiny little multicolored nuggets.

SO that was cool. But we ran out of water on the way out, and it got pretty not so good. The husband thought he was gonna carry me out but NO. I am made of stern Australian stuff and I just shoved one foot in front of the other. There was some puking, but it was well deserved.

I thought long and hard about writing the Chiricahua National park about their "covered bridge monument" but I decided I had better things to do like eat Peanut M&Ms.

I miss hiking. One day the house will be sold and the husband and I will hike once more. I hear you can hike up to the Douglas mountain D!! I LOVE that D because I first spot it about a half mile from my house, and I think "D, don't got to be perfect. D is still a passing grade!"

I have thought about adding a minus but Douglas is small they might find out it's me and be like, offended. Also I don't need the state of my house to get any worse.

Heat. I like it.

Cold, not so much.

I do think that sauna yoga dude is either a genius or a madman. I keep wanting to go to one but I am scared. I hear such terrifying things! And stretchiness!

Yikes! Fire ant bites are nasty. Well, all insect bites suck, but things like fire ants and wasps are just plain unacceptable for this city boy. How did you get rid of them, a gas can and a match?

Fire ant pellets purchased at Home Depot or Lowes Home Improvement. You wet the mound, poor the pellet granules on it, wet the mound again. The workers take the pellets inside the colony and the queen eats and dies, then the colony dies. I had 5 mounds to wipe out. Next week there'll be 2 or 3 more. I hate fire ants, and can't for the life of me figure out what their purpose for existence is.

4 hours of yard work in the humid 90's. I am tired. Good night everyone. See ya'll tomorrow

Jeepers, where are you seeing 2.5s for $20-$40??

Note that I had no interest in them so paid little attention to them beyond noticing how cheap they were being sold for (the 2's for lower prices than the 2.5's). As I said above, "it's been quite a while since I visited a classifieds"... so I don't remember exactly where other than they were on forum/site classifieds or mentioned within threads on them. Something over three years ago when I was going to take a break from ECF I visited several other vaping related forums/sites off and on for a while. No idea on which ones they were listed at now. On the one that I did run daily on for about 1.5 years I don't remember seeing any PV's for sell there.

Good to see you treating yourself Muth!
Thx Letitia. I really had to. The appliances were here when i moved in and lasted longer than I imagined but waking up to leaking gas and a headache was the absolute deciding factor for me. I also sprang for a new Laptop because mine no longer receives security updates (chromebook). It also won't copy/paste anymore. Lol, ever have to c/p a long URL? I hope that doesn't happen to me before my new one arrives. I can't even........

I'm bidding on P3 at the moment on Ebay. High bid is me at £71 at the moment. Finishes tomorrow at 09h00.

Wish me luck :wub:

Luck on the auction.

(They closed their doors in Feb 2017 :thumbs:. So I deleted the reply I had written on some background of this mod and my sordid opinion of the powers to be of that company back then.)

eBay has vape mods listed again. Someone is selling two Provari Procyons for $500 each!!!!!!

That seems pretty high to me but I’m no Provari expert.
Yep I noticed those... To much for my liking also.

I do!

Meanwhile, I have a sad ebay story to tell: Had my eye on ProVari mini that no one had bid on. I was waiting till the last moment to bid. A friend called, and I missed my chance. The seller relisted immediately, at a lower price, but someone has already placed a bid. I will either (a) not win or (b) end up spending more than I would've if my stupid friend (whom I don't really like but we've known each other too long for me to dump her) hadn't called.

I am still irritated, and this happened several hours ago. :mad:
Bummer.. Well I hope that you can win the follow up auction without paying too much more...

With my P3 boxed I'm assuming it's a good price... Any idea... 71 GBP??

Can I take that to mean that the P3 was a limited run before closure :)

No. I didn't follow that company anymore after that day (the day when I also severed all ties with them and retired all my gear and accessories from them). But I would think the P3 became the best selling Provari of them all with as many people that had said that they wanted a VV/VW Provari.

Quick question for you guys ordering out of China into the US.

Are there any import fees etc. in addition to what you pay to the company for unit + shipping? Also has anyone ordered any older mods that my not have the nicotine warnings on the box and does that cause any issue? I’m trying to cover all my bases here and not leave anything to be unexpected with ordering from China.

None of those issues, ever. I'm not a lawyer of course, but I am not aware of any import fees or warning label problems, for personal use.
Your state may require a use tax, for vaping stuff, but I doubt they'd even know to come after you.

Hoorah I just won the auction. Just delivery to sort out :wub:

If you're happy I am happy for you too. So a last small tidbit from my data base that you might wanna know... the P3's were first released in mid October 2014.

I have not had any other charges added to my orders. What I pay at check out is what I pay in full.

Morning all!
