Still smoking support and chat thread

Contact the businesses that the charges are from.

Bill Me Later is a credit card but you have X days to pay it off with no interest, and some places like amazon give you instant rebate when you sign up.

Also file a police report.

Need to contact the places where bill me later was used so they know its fraud. If the item is still in shipping they might be able to stop delivery. Or at least stop the account from being used anymore.

Whoo Hoo!!!! Congratulations on 6 months Claudia!!!

6 Months. An amazing amount of time. And you are building coils in RBAs. How awesome is that. I remember your first days here. You have come so far. I am very happy for you. Love that you are making it a hobby and you are finding pleasure in it. Here come the bananas!

(That's me winding up for all the banana postings)

Welcome Divine Revhenge, I'm not going to give any advice or even really tell my story because you have enough advice already to carry you through.

When I first came here I was still smoking and these great people helped me to quit.

I am celebrating 6 months smoke free as of last night and I'm going to sit here and wait for dancing bananas. You'll understand this soon. lol.

Beyond finding several juices that really really "do it" for me the biggest thing is having a LOT of backup devices so if one starts to act up you can just pick up another without any frustration, then when you feel like it you can fiddle with the one that is misbehaving.

I have gotten into the hobby part of vaping and spending way too much money, but it's keeping me off the cigarettes, I don't think I will ever go back now. I am a collector by nature and I am now collecting vape gear and juices.

Lox one of these days when I get my head screwed on straight I will send you that Itazte to fiddle with, I haven't forgotten someone has just turned the clocks up to warp speed and the days keep getting away from me.

I think I have found "my" peach finally, I won the GotVapes game a week ago and got an Evod kit, (nice kit btw) and a bottle of juice. I picked peach cobbler and it's very tasty fresh and getting even better as it begins to steep. Shari stay away from it as it has cinnamon in it, but that makes it yummy for me. It's the first candy type cinnamon I've tastes and I love it.

I am sad to hear you are still having problems with your health. Doctors are busy and I would not be surprised if they are either getting slammed by patients coming in re: Obamacare. Either new patients, or fear that they won't be able to get in to their doctors. The pain meds thing may have something to do with real recent changes FDA made regarding hydrocodone. They tightened the prescribing rules and if the doctors hated writing rx for it before, they are trying to avoid it now. Now FDA says hydrocodone is to be classed like morphine and oxycodones. Lots of doctors out here are not prescribing it and telling patients they need special pain management doctors if they want/need any pain medication. This is a couple of stories I read in newspaper and saw on TV before Christmas.

So much is changing with healthcare and insurance that I think a lot of people are going to be negatively affected. Just finding a doctor to take you as a new patient is going to be a challenge. What a shame for this country. This is going to take years to get straightened out, whichever way it goes.

Part of the problem is I can't get a dr's appt. They are too busy. Why all of a sudden I can't take pain meds, who knows. I was supposed to go to the ER for more tests and I've put it off ... until I pretty much have to go tonight. I'm dreading it. There's a serious shortage of doctors.

I've got a pic in my head what I want. I just have to be able to sit up long enough to do it. I'm very frustrated right now. What I want is something like this

Great. Looks like my PayPal account has been hacked.

It's through "Bill Me Later" which appears not associated with PayPal. Someone has tried to open 5 accounts in my name. Only one went through. But I'm sure it's made a mess of my credit. Not sure what to do with some unknown opening credit cards in my name. Whatever they bought ($550) doesn't show up in my PayPal account. I couldn't 'register' to find out because they aren't using all of my info - like SS#. I haven't heard of this one before. 2 were through Amazon, another through GE, another with Chase. I suspect I'll be getting more. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a ruse to get access to my credit report. That's where the sensitive info is. Sux. I don't need to deal with this. All of them used "Bill Me Later". How do I defend against that?

Stupid Capitol One has been sending preapproved cards in the mail too. I thought that had been made illegal. That irks me too.

I like your posts, but I don't like them! If you haven't already, immediately get a credit freeze in place! If you're not familiar with a credit freeze -- it basically blocks your credit report through the major reporting agencies until you give permission for it to be used. Lenders will not loan if they can't assess risk, and it also sends up a red flag for them. You can have the freeze lifted if there is a line of credit you want to apply for.

Good Morning! And Happy Presidents Day!

Your bananas are prettier than mine!

Yeah, but Thaya's make me feel like I'm about to have an epileptic fit!

I think I'm having issues with the amount of alcohol used in some liquids. I was fine with 50/50 pg/vg mixes for the first 3 months, then got sick and couldn't do pg anymore. I keep trying but it's like an on/off switch. Very frustrating. I started out liking candy flavors, then tobaccos/coffees, then fruits and I'm not sure what's next. It was banana for awhile (I don't particularly like eating them). The point is expect changes the first year. I think it was more of a hurdle when changes caught me off guard.

Aikanae,

If you think there's a problem with alcohol, you might try more aggressively "airing out" the juices? Don't leave them uncapped, but just squeeze the air out frequently while steeping?

Thank you ladies.

Thank you, love those dancing bananas and fireworks. Truth is I forgot all about it on Friday too. lol
