Nothing ventured nothing gained....I'm ventured OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The original Buzz Pro beta has bit the dust...The 510 cap had never been off..I decided too hook it up with an 801. The screw holding the wire was seized and now the wire is in two pieces..I was told to send it back in for the correct voltage dial as it always worked backwards...Then it started taking wild swings with small adjustments...Time for a trip home...

My production model was stuck on 3.3? when I took it out of storage...It'll be in the box as well...Hook a Brother up Bov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd been meaning too venture into the local vapor shop...They deal with Vision..and DeKang....DeDanggg!!! I was wanting a Joye Ego and ended up with a Vision Spinner??? and charger for $25...they failed too inform me you gotta click the switch 5 times too turn it on...IDK if the same 5 clicks turn it off...I was cussing up a streak and the 5 click thing just kinda happened....The T3 is right at home on there..Less than $35 full of juice....Newbies have a very solid performing device for cheap...Not a bad back up for when the Buzz is in Cali either...I did suffer a flashback using that charger however...Anybody ever seen a Totally Wicked 5-hole charger????!!!!!!!!

I declined too hit the DeKang sample................

Oh ElDee, you never fail to crack me up!!!!! I literally laughed out LOUD reading those lines above and the whole house looked at me like...... what the h*ll is she on?!?! Too funny! I'm glad you found something cool to tide you over while your beloved Buzz's are in the Buzzpital. And hey, thanks for the laughs!!!

Man we got us a nosey postmistress...I dropped the Buzz twins off today and she has me read a new poster with all the stuff you can't ship...I glanced at it turned too her and said...What no pool chemicals??? That really set her off...I thought for a minute she was gonna cut my box open!!!! It's probably being x-rayed as I type....

I gotta say that NotCigs has the best customer service I've ever encountered..Mad props too the Buzzklillah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big old nasty piece of pocket lint got in thru the drip tip of my DID...Musta had some conductivity properties as it was mucking everything up...Blew it off and WhaaaBammm!!! Pushing more voltage thru it and the vapor is coming on strong...

You know my family has more than its share of teachers...My sis is the assistant principal at the local high school and my Mom was a kindergarten teacher for many years..To me the kids are very special..Uncorrupted by the ways of the world...Innocent...That whole Sandy Hook thing has given me the ten mile stare...May the good Lord up above comfort those that need it tonight..

Haha Dee! Every time I go to mail flavorings or home made juice to someone I get the million question run down. I just tell them that it's food flavorings for a cake baking community I belong to!!

And Amen for the prayers for Newtown...we are all still in shock. I can't imagine how someone gets that warped :(

Great Wharf!! Hope it all comes together for you...I noticed flavor too be somewhat not what I was used too...I'm still blaming the StrawNanna...It burns clean and I got 120ml...Dang.............

El Dee will now rant and roll....pull up a seat..............

Direct TV....Everything is going fine with the TV...I check my contract as I was thinking of upgrading a few things...Mind you my upgrade thoughts were known only too me...I haven't discussed anything with Direct...I see that I'm on the last month of a 24 month contract...I like that....Next thing you know my picture starts acting up...I notice it happens when the TV has been on for exactly 30 minutes...I find that odd....I pull some tricks and everything is restored...I'm hoping it ain't the TV...Then one day the receiver won't work...I get an error code...After about an hour on the phone Direct sends out a new box...It arrives and I attempt a set up...Fail....After another hour on the phone I'm on my third service tech...The receiver is programmed too a card...Only they got the wrong card in my receiver..A few key strokes later we gots TV...I asked about thirty times if they needed that dang number......finally I checked it myself...Everything is fine again....Then......I turn on the TV and it's a no go...I call Direct and they inform me that since I returned my receiver they assumed I wanted too cancel my programming....The dang receiver went bad and I returned it as directed with all info required...I'm starting too smell something fishy...Now I got free HD and DVR for life....Unless I cancel service.....I'm assured that nothing will be lost...Free DVR and HD....ASSURED!!!!!!!!!! Then a week or so later I find a big box on the porch...Yepp it's a box too return a receiver...Only I didn't order it.....Just a box and a label....I say the heck with it and put it aside knowing I best watch my bill...I set up an online account with them...Today my @80$$$ bill is $325...$200 for a HDreceiver...Cleanup on isle 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY free DVR.............My free HD....LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then as I finally get an alive person on the phone....My new cell phone sheets the bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've always paid my bills...Proven by a completed contract...I was receiving numerous offers from Direct too upgrade...I was even contemplating it but still declined over the phone..Guess I should have taken the offer...The contract expired along with everything else...My bet is free DVR and HD isn't offered anymore...I'd set Direct up on auto pay for the $10 buck a month discount...I checked it monthly...Good thing I caught this before the charges went out....Just wait until I get that damn phone replaced...Somebodies getting a call from ol Evel his dang self.....

Auto-pay and when you log on offers out the ying yang too go paperless...Thank goodness I kept the original contract and a few old bills...They can stick that auto-pay where the sun don't shine...I'd just like too know how much they rake in monthly on bogus charges...Like the dang bill ain't high enough already...Verizon did the same thing...They are a distant memory...

I shot off an email when the phone died...They got back too me overnight...Some error occurred....Yah THINK?????????????????? Credited for the $200.....No mention of the lost DVR or HD...I'm fixing too email another...Wish them luck...I ain't too dang happy with them.....

Tis good too be back Wharf!! Thanks!!

Dang old phone worked for a minute this morning...I took it on a tour of the countryside too eliminate the possibility of a dead tower...The phone is a DUDLEY............

My direct package was $88/mth....Further digging into the bills reveals the $10 discount was lost in June when my credit card expired...The money kept coming....All that expired was the security number and expiration date on the card...That's an additional $50 right there...I never had a clue....That whole contract running out/ package upgrade offers/ receiver dying/ computer mix up....Way too many things happening there...Bottom line I'll get a phone tomorrow and a certain satellite companies' digits will go in my contact list....My BIL's father was a satellite man back in the big dish days...A little face time with him today reveals I should ask for the "customer retention department" when I call...PrimeStar{remember them} Dish and Direct killed the independant satellite small business...Hey corporations are people!!! My friend had no choice but too retire...Bottom line is I pay my dang bills...I deal with them as I should...They will do the same...Bogus is just that...They got some hiney that needs kissin"....Pucker up Direct...you have a date wid the EVEL ONE......................

Thru this nicotine joose has been vaporized at an alarming rate....The T3 on the Spinner....Flavor is a little bit nasty...just a hint of burnt....Still it's that gunky burning Carmel joose and it's not bad enough too change out the coil...the Carmel fouled the DID in less than 24 hours and it's been almost 2 weeks in the T3...Overall I rate the T3 as a solid option for anyone....
The Fusion was a little ganky at first but soon hit its stride...No signs of anything bad going on in there and at this point it has outlived the Boge average performance....That dang adapter has caused the loss of two Mings though...Makes the tip protrude from my pocket...How hard can a neon orange and a red drip tip be too locate......Very hard obviously...
My Buzzes are in the Cali hospital ATM...Well they are on the way...My rotation hasn't included the DID as I was getting a little bit tired of that skanky Nanner joose....

TVs....cell phones.....fancy dancy e-cigs aside I best get my .... too shopping....Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ran poor comcast ragged for about 5 yrs. El Dee. Every time they tried to take me off the special I would call and tell them I had to let them go because I couldn't afford it. They would hook me up with a customer relations person that would find another special for me. It worked for about 5 yrs. but after I moved I couldn't get a hold of the customer relations lady any more. As far as that auto pay I got burnt once and never again will I have auto pay. I hope it all works out for you.

I've never liked auto pay either. Been trying to help MIL close out an old checking account and get all of the auto pay / deposits directed to her new account has been a nightmare. We're going into month 5 of calling and writing MetLife to get her annuities changed. Finally just got her agent over and told him, "You set all this up...you straighten it out!"

Good on you Dee, let 'em kiss your hiney twice!

Them free offers is where you get screwed. They sign you up for auto pay without you knowing. I put a special filter on my pay pal acct. "NO AUTO PAY" to anyone. The bank got me once too on a credit card I had. I emailed them and said I didn't want this service so they came back and said you can't stop it with email and charged me anyway. Needless to say I don't have that credit card any more. I told them if they needed money that bad to screw their customers then I wasn't going to be one.

I emailed back a statement that there would under no circumstances be any more auto pay....Direct made an attempt too blindly avoid the statement telling me I'd lose the free HD...They also said i'd been paying for the DVR for some time...so it must not have been free....Yeah Direct I kept the dang original contract......I'd noticed the bill slowly creeping up...My only reply too them last evening was the fact they couldn't be trusted enough for auto pay....Could be another error as they call it...
I purchased my phone at a local hardware store...They only employ one tech guy...Yepp Monday is his day off...One trip turned into two...His stand in couldn't hand me a new phone but was able too get my old phone fired back up....That's just special...I'd major need of a phone as a trip across the state lay in front of me...I purchased a re-born hand crafted baby for my Niece's Christmas present....I'm happy too say it's safely sitting here tonight....Creepy as it looks real....CREEPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that that dang baby is here.....the dang cell phone specialist is outta off days.....Direct is coming up on the radar...I'da called today but I was praying they would try and charge my card....What I'm sayin'...............BLOCKED !!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like one hell of a day LD...creepy doll baby and all!

I guess I'm going to have a meltdown of my own. Car insurance renewal came in and somehow my bill jumped $14 a month higher?! No tickets, no accidents, looks like I may be saying Merry Christmas to a different insurance company :( I get rewarded for being a safe driver by upping my bill by $168 a year?

I just got off the phone with them, the increase is mostly caused by the fine state of CT doing an across the board rate hike for every insurance renewal here. Guess CT has to find a way to pay for Sandy :( The fella I talked to was nice tho, and found me a 16% discount. I already have the cheapest auto insurance I can find...thank goodness I get the safe driver discount. Guess I shoulda lied to him when he asked if I had theft alarm, I don't have power door locks or windows so I couldn't claim that discount.

Allstate raised my rates too. Said it was cost of living or some damn thing. Anyway I told them I didn't get a $25.00 cost of living increase so I cancelled them and I'm now a proud Geico insurance guy that costs less than Allstate did before the raise. Heck I only drive around 200 miles a month. I got a theft alarm Bo.
