The Better Half

[mojofilter]

We combined our tax refund with the money that I won't be spending on tobacco this year and bought a s....y new oven last week, to replace the one that came with the house when it was built in 1979. What a difference!

Edit: I did not try to describe our oven with a word that rhymes with "kitty." Apparently there is some language crime on this website in describing a fancy item with a word that rhymes with "cranky."

Sorry to say that my Mr. Chili is not very supportive. He quit 8 years ago and doesn't understand why I couldn't suck it up and quit like a man! He does constantly comment on what I spend but then I mention all his firearms and his charised and pampered Harleys! I do love the man, 36 years together should be proof of that, but I know that look of confusion will be there again when I buy another mod!

does anyone sell Harley mods?
I googled and it looks like no, however they did sell Harley cigs!

The Better Half

Better half? I am the better half of the whole. Have you met me? I'm fantastic wrapped in awesome topped with heaping helping of ethereal delight! She's damn lucky to have me and she knows. Hell, even strangers know it. When they pass us on the street, people will say "You are married to him? Good for you!" Any ways, she doesn't say anything. Has no interest in what I buy. Or much interest in me for that matter which is odd, give my previous description of myself.

My hubby tried vaping but he did not stick with it But he only smoke liike 3cigs a day unless he is having a few beers.
He is very supportive of my vaping and only teases a bit that I am an e-cig hoarder.
My son is also supportive and even bought me my first mod for my birthday.

At the risk of sounding like I am sucking up to her (she never reads these boards), I have to say I am truly blessed with my woman!

We've been together 43 years now. She got the call almost 20 years ago that I was in intensive care in a hospital 75 miles away after having a heart attack She stood beside me and supported me for about 8 years of failed attempts at quitting smoking. How could she be blamed for finally accepting that I would never quit. So we compromised....no more smoking in the house or in the car. It looked like that was our final settlement on the smoking issue.

Since starting to vape and being smoke free, she has never uttered one negative word about my vaping or what I spend. When I make a purchase or vape mail shows up, if she says anything at all it is just "I don't care what you spend or what you buy, I am just thrilled you are not smoking." After 9 months now, little is even said as it is just part of our everyday lives. She did surprise me last night when I took a big hit before walking into a restaurant and she asked what flavor I was vaping (yes, she even calls it vaping, not smoking) and that she liked some of the other ones better.

Bottom line? It is great and I couldn't ask for more in that area!

I'm in the "have to buy for two club" since the Mrs started vaping about a month after I did. We both use the same style mods so I just double up on my purchases. Only thing we buy differently is liquids since we both have separate tastes, which is great because she has her flavors and I have mine.

We were both heavy smokers, living in a state that heavily taxes cigarettes, so I'm way ahead of the game as far as $ spent at this point. I just have to make sure that when I order juice from my favorite vendor that I reciprocate and order hers from her favorite vendor.

I'll admit that's what I thought at first, and I wondered "why wouldn't you just buy a nice one?" But then I realized that would have shown as "....ty" not "s....y". So, what, you meant "sw.anky," yeah? I bet it censors out the "...." (as in, to fiddle one's diddle) in the middle as a "swear word". [Edit: yup, that's the part it didn't like. Funny what counts as swears around here. "...... off" is okay, but God forbid you mention fictional detective ".... Tracy," ex-US president ".... Nixon," or the traditional English pudding "spotted ....."]

Yeah, that word is a really not nice word in the UK, which is where the Forum Founder is from. You could just say a sexy new oven

 

[mojofilter]

Ha ha! OK, how then would you discuss the actress named Hilary on this site? Call her Hilary Toss?

 

[Mailablemage]

my wife and I started vaping together. Up until recently we always had the same setup so it was easier for me to maintain our equipment. Right now we both run mech mods. I use a nemesis mod with a plume veil, and she has a dragon mod with a mutation v3.

 

[Ablonz]

Mine never uttered a word after I won my first mech mod on Black Friday. She asked if I was going to be quitting, why would I need an upgrade. I simply told her that with these upgrades, I do need to use lower nicotine and that is one step closer to quitting all together. As of right now, at the end of May, I will have broke even on what I spent on smokes vrs. what I spent on new mods, ejuice, and flavors. Then the $55 dollar a month savings start to kick in. So now all she says when I get vape mail is that it is on my computer desk accompanied by a nice smile.

Does it mean something different there, or is it just like calling someone a "jerk-off" in the US? 'Cause I mean, that's still not a very nice thing to say to someone, but the words themselves are not that vulgar. Is it just a taboo subject entirely, in the UK? Is ".........e" censored, too?

 

[jaytex1969]

My wife can't figure out why we (vapors') need so may flavors. She says, "You only smoked one type of cigarette, why do you need so many flavors of juice?"

Because now, after many years, we have our taste buds back.....

here come the h̶e̶n̶c̶h̶m̶e̶n̶ other moderators.

I'm an administrator on a message board, too. We have a word-censoring function available to us, but we don't have to use it. If you tell it to filter out a combination of letters in a sequence, it will, and it isn't context sensitive. If you've told it to filter out the vulgar term for a bodily fluid, you can't use totally harmless words like "modicum" to describe a little bit, or "capiscum" to describe hot pepper... you get the drift. But we have digressed.

My wife is a non smoker. She has been very supportive. When I tell her what I'm admiring, she tells me to shut up and order it already.

My wife and I both quit smoking and she started vaping shortly after I started. After about 2 months she decided she didn't need the vaping either and quit. I vape as well as my older daughter and her boyfriend. We're not cloud chasers. The other day my wife started complaining that We needed to take the vaping outside because the whole house had a fog that just wouldn't go away. Minutes later she came back and said "never mind about the fog, I went clean my glasses and it's gone".

I've had to enact a strict no vaping in the living area while I'm cooking. I've come back in the room several times thinking the food in the oven was on fire because of the vapor all over the place. When you use RDAs in the house the vapor can really build up.

Sounds pretty familiar.

My husband is absolutely over the moon that I've quit smoking, HE DOESN'T CARE how I managed to do it, especially since it didn't involve weeks, months, or years of angst, screaming, crying, begging, stomping or husband-berating, or tearful midnight demands for him to go get me a pk of cigarettes RIGHT NOW. Well I did that once, actually, but the back-slide only lasted a month and I got back to smoke-free. He no longer gets choked to death in the truck, he no longer has to kiss a wife who smells like an ashtray (about which he never complained, and now I have a MUCH better grasp of how much he loves me!), and he no longer has to give Walgreens 11 bucks and change every-other day. If I want to order something, he says, "can we afford it?" I usually say yes (if we couldn't, I wouldn't bother bringing it up), so he says "order it then, you don't need my approval!"

Now you see why I've been with him for 28 yrs.

There is one flavor that sometimes smells bad to him, but when I pointed out how much better it smelled than cigarette smoke, he agreed, and hasn't said anything more about it.

He really does seem like and 'ideal' husband. Sleep well and dream...dream...dream.
