That's it!

Another thing that hurts....not able to readily buy this stuff in the brick and mortar world. So when I go to buy something, I always end up buying more than I want (or need), to justify the shipping cost. Instead of spending $10 or $20 for what I want, I wander around and end up spending $50+

I haven't tallied my 8 orders so far, but I am fairly certain it was still cheaper than cigs...and I have all the hardware I need now and also don't buy many cartos anymore since learning how to refill. I should be cruising well into the black this month.

... Somebody like Dune..a lot! JK, me too! That one quote got me thru a really rough medical procedure!

Yes. I find use for the litany everday. It's been one of the best things I've integrated into my CBT for OCD.

I love Dune. I have and can still read all the books over and over again. At least the first 6 by Frank himself. Definitely a symbolic literary piece of art IMHO.

So does anyone say,

it is by will alone that I set my mind in motion...

When they vape?

Now if the hats, shirts and other gear sudedenly become available...that is a different story.

Don't get me started!

LOL! You write 'for a month' while I struggle with making it 'for a week'! But yeah, like others here, I look at the first months as an investment in life. Small change, really, if one considers the lifelong impact, eh?

Definitely a better bet then analogs!

As for adding up my expenses... not gonna do it! I'm just NOT gonna look! 8-o

I'm guessing not so much...

Probably should though.

I haven't read them all in years but I did love them. I still think of it every time I hear the word 'jihad' on the news or see Kyle MacLachlan on tv.

But I really DO have to slow down the spending for a while!

8-o

So what did I do today? I went and bought a bunch of clothes and shoes! Spur of the moment! I do need them for an upcoming business trip but... yikes!

Must. Stop. Spending. Money!

Also... in NY a carton of Marlboros is nearly $80. !!!!!!!!!!!!! And a carton never held me a week, EVER. So even something in 4 figures (gulp) is gonna break even before too long, and then i'll save like anything.

I'm buying GIFTS from V4L now.

I love ordering from V4L.

Steve et alia are the best persons I've ever bought anything from. And this is about my favorite purchase for as long as I remember.

I hope they all get way rich, they deserve it, and I don't say that easily.

Looking at my bank balance, oh lord, I um, will have helped in my own small way some toward that...
