I know this was not meant to offend but some of us have "special needs" loved ones and do take offense to the loose use of this term :( I have 2 special needs children and I do get a little sensitive sometimes :(

Good morning Reoville :)
I've got a 5 year old grandson, with special needs,
He has Down syndrome, & a host of health issues, but is one happy boy

Hey guys I just had a thought. So in my other tank systems the juice eventually turned dark and nasty looking. No matter how clear it was when I put it in the tank. Does the Reo with the rm2 turn the juice in the bottle a dark color?

I'm using rm2s and haven't had that problem since the Chalice. So you should be good to go! :thumbs:

It doesn't hurt to remind ourselves that words matter. It's an awareness thing, and we all get lazy in our word usage.

I ended up leaving a racing forum over the indiscriminate use of the "R" word. The person used it as an adjective to demean another poster, implying they were "lesser". So I offered that the only appropriate use of that word is as a verb, as in "to delay" or "to make slow" , but never prejoratively as a noun or adjective. I left because once I explained how it should and shouldn't be used, it wasn't well-received, i.e. I encountered a whole lot of flak (that I was giving morality lessons/english lessons ).

At the time I was doing some volunteering in a center for developmentally disabled and they shared the many hurtful stories of growing up and being called names, so my emotions were pretty close to the surface that year.

Now I just link to this article:
Special Olympics takes on word '......' - US news - Life | NBC News

Later, I came to see that all human beings are special needs, since we all have huge "deficits" but they are not always real obvious. :laugh: Probably why the great spritual masters tell us we should practice being humble. :laugh:

Besides which, A Beautiful Thing Is Never Perfect ;)

Race.....Great story!! Sometimes folks don't realize just how truly hurtful words can be......:(
God created Man in His IMAGE.....NOT His ENTIRETY!!:D
As humans we are ALL inferior to our Creator...
For those who THINK they're God....NEWS FLASH!!! You're NOT!!;)
One should always use sweet words when describing another....for they never know when they might have to EAT them....!

We now return to regular programming.....:facepalm:
My Reo should be in my hands later today....it's at the PO, but the roads are a pain....freezing rain/drizzle....
Batteries and charger are here tomorrow!!:)
Happy (vaping) Trails!

Good morning everyone!

Thought for the day:

Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
