Still smoking support and chat thread

Sorry to hear about the router.

Thanks and lesson learned, all liquids on the floor. That's another run through the house thing before I leave for work, coffeepot off? Check. Stove off? Check. Back door locked? Check. Cat's water bowl on the floor? Argh!!!

Welcome to the forum, glad to see he finally talked you into it. We're pretty fun and zany at the best of times, so stick around and have a blast!!

Ruh roh just curious what game? I have been eyeing zday on steam.

Archeage. It was on steam for a while but was temporarily removed due to billing issues. They plan to readd it. Its a free to play game. Launches Monday. If you pre purchase a pack you start Thursday or Friday

Shari you poor dear! Hope you don't have to resort to breaking kneecaps to get your house fixed!!

I dunno, I think at this point that would probably make her feel a LOT better about all of it.

Why is that? I only use it for a few games and I hate that you have to install so many updates its silly really.

But I have a few games on there that I love to play. Madness returns, plants vs zombie #1, evil genius and a few play around packs. that some of my old work pals have given me

Issues with a mod for a game. Noe I can't even play it offline...

:growl:

One day no cigs! Yes!

 

[FinallyQuit]

One day no cigs! Yes!

That deserves a party!!!

I'll leave the chorus line up to Shari and Thaya, I'm at work. How do you feel today?

 

[Thayamax]

One day no cigs! Yes!

Yay!! The first day is the hardest. One day at a time.

 

[FinallyQuit]

Yay!! The first day is the hardest. One day at a time.

Thaya always comes through with the chorus line. Shari's even have linked arms and syncronized kicks

Hey Thaya I miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AndriaD]

One day no cigs! Yes!

Way to go! Huzzah!!! To me, just making the decision to go without is the hard part! Once you have a day, then you have two, then three... it makes it more difficult to make the choice to smoke again!

I find I REALLY don't want to have to reset my counter again!

OK, so sick Friday and not great yesterday... dr sends me home because they changed meds to figure out why I had been dizzy and fix the inner ear problem.

Long story short, I go to the pharmacy and stop in at the local b&m to see a friend and chat a while. All of a sudden the store gets swamped and he asked me to step behind the counter and help him out (he was the only one working at the time)!!

So I got with it and helped get customers some juice, when a guy walks in with 2 original Panzer mods. We played around with them for a bit and my friend ended up buying one. The customer decided he wanted a rebuild and a mini pt2 setup for a stealth vape in class... and so began the coil-apocalypse.

In around an hour or an hour and a half, Wes and I knocked out 4 sub-ohm builds for customers while making sure that the other customers were taken care of (various mods and ego-style setups). Even my wife got in on the action helping first timers get filled up and rolling with their new e-cigs!

My first time with a "center post build" parallel style on the Omega rda too... 27 ga wire (we had to use the little I had with me since the store had run out).

Needless to say, many clouds were blown and every one was very happy with their new toys.

Oh, and I got paid for working for a couple hours!

BTW, don't get an Omega, its a pita to mount the coils! [emoji20]

 

[Topdogie01]

The airholes on my omega line up wierd to the coil and id have a hot leg if I lined it to the airholes

 

[etherealink]

Wish I got a shot of that build... not beautiful but damn tasty lol

 

[darksparkle13]

You guys are Awesomesauce! And so supportive! Day two down! Working on day three!

I am feeling ok. Have a sore throat but need to make sure I get some Gatorade today!
I have found that I am having to carry around like atleast six flavors, if one doesnt satisfy I move onto the next until I find the right one!

And thank the heavens above for e cigs! There is no way I would have gone this long with out them!

Good morning everyone. Sad day in our house this morning, there was an email sent by my first-grader's principal last night around 10pm. There has been a tragedy involving 5 children from our area, 3 of those children went to the same school as my daughter. There are counselors on hand in the classrooms today to help, so I didn't discuss it with her. She's never lost a friend, family member, or even a pet, so I didn't want to get involved in that conversation early in the morning. There was a news crew in front of the school this morning while I was dropping her off. Now it's going to become sensationalized and rumors and gossip are going to be flying, and my child is going to be hearing it from all sides and it opens up a huge can of worms I don't have the strength to deal with right now. She is in counseling for abandonment issues, if that sheds some light on my dilemma.

Sorry to explode on you all. Just know that I smoked today, for the first time since Saturday, and had to bum one from a friend because I am not buying another pack. And I'm angry about the state of the world we live in and parents who would hurt their kids to this extent.

I'll be positive later, sorry to be Debbie Downer. . .

FQ I am at a loss for words, I have read the news story about this so I do know what you are talking about. The truth is that we cannot protect our kids from life no matter how much we want to.
I wish you were not having to deal with this.

I hope you have someone who can help you deal with what you are going through as well, I can sense your depression and it concerns me.

HUGS!

Sooooooooo sorry to hear FQ. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

I hadn't heard anything about this, so I just went and looked it up; I am so appalled, and can well understand your unwillingness to go into it with your daughter. It's a terrible thing to have to tell kids about the evil in the world, and that there are evil people all over the place -- evil is the only way I know to describe the murder of 5 little children.

That guy better hope for the death penalty, because I don't see a very long life in prison for him -- even prisoners have children. He needs to be sent on to his karma, and I hope he ENJOYS it.
