I haven't tried anything new lately. I gave up on that since I don't have that much disposable income. I still want to try a Genesis style tank tho (with mesh wicks).

Keep it that way if you have stuff that you like. Trust me, it becomes very expensive.

I guess I'm a loner but I have drawers full of different new greatest and neatest but that's all they do is sit in the drawer because I just can't find anything that vapes as good and as long as a tanked Fusion. I remember Rosco bringing the first tank around here.
I've been selling alot of the drawer fillers lately. I gave a bunch away too.
TT you need me to talk to Mr. Rude Dude because I don't pull any punches with those guys. The Dish people offered me 200 channels for $25.00 a mo. with free HBO and Starz for a yr. I told him I didn't want it even if he give it to me free for ever. That pretty much got his attention. He said I hate to see you pay for early get out. I said don't worry, I'm going to contact the State Attorney General and BBB to see what they can do. He told me to hold on at that and ask me to give him 72 hrs. Then I get an overdraft because they took my last pmnt. out of a different account than the one I have the reciept for. My bank is great though, they refunded the overdraft.

5C, I think that was LD having issues with the Rude Dude and the Dish people. They do look a lot alike and I could see how you would get them confused though :)

I live in a state of confusion Salem.:laugh:

Winter can't last forever, Fran. It has to get warmer for you. It was very warm here for a day or two, rained, then got cooler again.

You have Al Gore's assurance that it will warm up.:laugh: I'm sure glad he is so smart.:D

I just told them that the guy installed the service then shoved a little phone at my and said sign here which he did BTW. I couldn't even see where to sign at the time and he had to put my finger on the right place to sign. I thought I was signing for the stuff he installed. He didn't say otherwise and I would never sign a contract like that. I told them the AG might not like their seniors being duped into scams like that. I will take it as far as I have to. Comcast has a Dish contract buyout program if nothing else. They do go through the whole employee section huh? I told them I wouldn't talk to no more Johnny Five impersonaters so they had some guy that speaks fluent english at least.

They know me so well:laugh:

Mental confusion

Signs and symptoms
Confusion is a symptom, and it may range from mild to severe. The confused state may include jumbled or disorganized thought and unusual, bizarre, or aggressive behaviors. A person who is confused may have difficulty solving problems or tasks, especially those known to have been previously easy for the person and an inability to recognize family members or familiar objects, or to give approximate location of family members not present. As well, they may appear to be disoriented, drowsy, hyperactive, or anxious. In severe cases, the person may have hallucinations, feelings of paranoia, and a state of delirium.

Let's see, where am I anyway?

Hey 5C, maybe these facts will help you out lol

WATER
1. 75% of Americans a...re chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Hey all! 5er, I'm calling YOU the next time I have troubles with someone. Dang you're good! Get you and ElDee together, hot Dayum, someone better run!

I got duped into a security system on my home almost 5 years ago. I was pregnant out to >>>>>>>>>>here, and nervous about home security (having a new baby can do that) as my German Shepard was getting on in years. These clowns knock at my door, offer free installation if I sign up that day (looking back, that's when I should have shut the door.....but hind sight is 20/20). Everything sounds wonderful, good price, great service, alarm for breaking glass, one for fire, one on each door, yadda, yadda.
About three months later, baby now in arms, I realize I don't need this thing. I call up real sweet like to cancel and am told to read the super duper extra fine print at the bottom........I signed a friggin contract for 5 YEARS!!! :facepalm: :mad:

This August will be 5 years and you can bet your bottom they will be coming to uninstall.....and you can also bet that each time someone comes knocking at my door I tell them to scoot!!!

Hey to Salem, TT, Bov, Fran, kgj, Sdh, markfm, lilac, 5er, ElDee, Wharf, and any other buzzard I may have unintentionally have left out.

I am getting ready for a family party tonight. We have a big family and were very tired of only getting together for funerals and such so decided at least once per year we are having a random get together just for the sake of getting together!

In my younger days I was better. I had an encyclopedia salesman that wouldn't take no for an answer. No matter how many times I said NO he wasn't going for it. Must of been there for 2hrs. Finally he says I'll make the start up payment for you. That was a no no in those days. So when the case of books arived I just took them to the hock shop. The guy calls back asking about the next payment and I said what you did was a no no. He says oh oh. I told him to stop by and he could have the pawn ticket and then told him next time someone tells you no you better listen.

Smith&Wesson, Bond Arms, Master Arms, Mossberg, Ithaca, Remington and lots of others make some darned fine home security systems.

From what I'm told they all work real good.

And you can buy a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher at the hardware store.

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the
teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)
(Must have been the same one I asked for sweetener,
and she said they didn't have any, only Splenda and sugar.)

TWO
I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the
'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.
Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.

( But the lady behind me had a big smirk on her face as I left)

THREE
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'

(Keep shuddering!!)

FOUR
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'
'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered,
handing it and the car keys to me. As I
took the key and manually unlocked the door, I
replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and
check about the batteries. It's a long walk....'

PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

FIVE
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.

Brunette, by the way!!

SIX
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency right away'

Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're Stupid!!!!
Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too.
Don't laugh....it is all true...

Hey Tracy! Good to see you popping in :) Have a good time at your gathering...how's Bo's dad doing?

Upgraded my cell phone to a triple minutes touch screen phone, waiting for my number and minutes to get transferred over to it. I used to think I was fairly smart when it came to technology, but I'm kinda feeling like a buffoon trying to set everything up LOL! :shock:

Evening everyone!!
