Thank you, SingedVapor, for starting this thread. I see it as a place we can talk about feelings, when "feelings" wouldn't be appropriate to the more technical discussions happening in other threads.
I have been sick this past week. Reading the deemings and impace analysis has prompted headaches, sleeplessness, and stomach upset, to say nothing of general dysphoria. I'm making notes like crazy: questions and ideas to use in my comment to FDA. I've been doomsday prepping for over a year, and will continue, but I also plan to keep supporting my online and B&M vendors for as long as they manage to stay in business.
Such prepping and vendor support will, in my case, result in more than a lifetime amount of vaping supplies. So when (or, optimistically, if) the worst happens, I'll be in a good position to pay it forward to vapers who aren't so well supplied (I'm not talking black market here, tho that in another sense also figures in my planning).
I joined CASAA last year and make a regular monthly contribution to them. I also sent them something at Christmastime. And from now on, I'm going to add up my monthly vaping expenditures and send CASAA an equivalent percentage.
Figuring out the positive ways I can help, come what may, is helping me cope and constructively fight the battle(s) that must be fought. (But still I'd kill for a headache-free hour or a full night's sleep!)
