we've had just about perfect days for almost two weeks. But it turns out that the plants and grass need more than just a bunch of perfect days strung together.

Well our water system is coming. It is a back wash system. It is a very small world as we found out last night that the water guy's wife is our SIL's cousin. He said Dan (the waterman) worked for Culligan many years before going out on his own 15 years ago. Had nothing but good things to say about him. kinda catchy....His name is Dan Waterman. LOL

Time to get the day started....have a good one y'all

Remembering Hiroshi Yamauchi, The Man Who Made Nintendo | Popular Science

Hiroshi Yamauchi was the president of Nintendo from 1949 to 2002, and might be the person most responsible for bringing gaming into mainstream culture. He shepherded the company when it was a small business selling playing cards, and, through ingenious marketing, turned hobbyist idols like Zelda, Mario, and a swath of others, into cultural touchstones. He died today [ed. 9/19/13] at 85.

Darwin Wasn't A Complete Chauvinist After All
The man who once called having a wife "better than a dog, anyhow" expressed far more egalitarian views in his private letters.

Thread title: Reliable sub $60 VW mod?

Sometime in the near future I will be looking for a new VW mod. So far I've tried a Vamo rev.2, and 2 Innokin SVD's with no luck. The vamo never worked well on single battery operation. The SVD's were both fussy. The first SVD would spontaneously shut off while vaping with any delivery that was in the 1.4-2.1 ohm range, while my new SVD just loves to misfire.
Anyone who's had a VW that's reliable and has lasted more than 6 months (or at least feels like it would), I'd love to hear from you. Thanks

Provari.

All of the chinese options are just that. Chinese. Cheaply and quickly made by the lowest bidder. And though some people might be able to say their vamo lasted them years, or their SiD never broke and worked great, there is far more owners of those devices who have had countless issues and breakdowns, that are only solved by buying another one.

Now luckily, after the first one, you already have the charger, batteries, and any delivery devices. each time one breaks, its the the tube your buying. Not too bad.


OR, you could cut your losses now, and buy a Provari. 2 SVDs and a Vamo is already covering the cost. And the Provari doesnt break, it isnt made cheaply by the lowest bidder, and its backed up by an AMERICAN company, with a reputation for quality service and support.

Not that I'm against the Provari, but one of the criteria was sub-$60. Find me a $60 provari or go away.

ROFLMAO!!! Too funny!

Sudden lottery fortune no panacea - CNN.com

William "Bud" Post's own brother reportedly tried to kill him after he won $16.2 million in a 1988 Pennsylvania state lottery game. Though his brother was imprisoned, Post's reckless spending and behavior left him broke and divorced before he died in 2006 of respiratory failure.

These are extremes, of course, but there are many cases of lesser tragedies befalling lottery winners.

There's the British man who squandered a 2002 jackpot of 9.7 million pounds, much of it on ....... and hookers, only to find himself working as garbage man again by 2010.

Wow Catt. You're in rare form today!

Keep it up.

You know, that's mostly big-corp propaganda to keep income expectations low (Like they just post that stuff so we poor people are supposed to think we're so much better off than those rich lottery winners.)
