Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

@Atchafalaya Hope she is over the worst and continues to make good progress

I did! That's why I smoked 120's, so I could smoke each one twice -- first half and last half. It was the only way I could afford it!

Same here - I smoked Benson & Hedges 100s for exactly that reason (and I was really aware of the cost if my husband was standing there with me when I bought them !)

@Katdarling - DOGGONE YOU!!!!! Now I'm shopping for stuff I kinda really DON'T need, but wouldn't mind having..... {le sigh}

Doggone me? Why isn't that Katgone me.

I'm sorry, Dings. I really am. (not) Poor sweets, shopping for more pretties!

And really, we never really thought twice about paying crazy prices for a pack of smokes........every single day for years.

This, this, this!

Yes she's up to breathing 50% on her own. I'm back to work now as her parents have arrived from out of town. She's so young, just 35. The doctor told me last night if she made it through the next 24 hours, she would probably make a full recovery. She went in Saturday with pancreatitis. When they brought her in for surgery yesterday morning, she stopped breathing and they had to put her in ICU. So, she is still septic but the lung function is the number one issue for now.

That's fantastic news; I know you must be feeling a little bit of relief -- hoping she continues on the mend! It's probably good that she's so young, her body heals more easily than someone a lot older.

Thank you all folks in here!

And hope she gets better, @Atchafalaya

I don't see why I would ever use a regulatee mod again.

And really, we never really thought twice about paying crazy prices for a pack of smokes........every single day for years.

I thought about it every single time. But couldn't stop smoking them.

I spend way more on vaping than I did on smokes, a crazy amount if I'm honest. It has become a hobby and I enjoy it.

I did in the first six months, but broke even at six, and have been holding steady at about 50% (my goal & budget) since. It wasn't without effort, but now it almost takes effort to get it UP to 50%. I'll probably knock that down to 25% soon, since I really need and/or want for nothing.

A penny saved (and all that-there)...

It took me about 6 months to break even. June of last year, the next 3 months I spent about $50 total. In November I started stocking up aggressively. I have to be a little bit careful right now as I have been spending about $500 per month the last few months. When Quebec shut down online sales that was a trigger to me to stock up.

When the CC cuts off next I am buying a litre of Nic and start buying some flavors for DIY. I figure that in about 3 months more of aggressive buying I should have what I need for decades.

I really wanted to say you, but I didn't want to get kicked off the forums

$12/mod - I am not going to complain

MWAH!

Thank you. I've crossed many barriers today, talking about myself and how I feel. I have a lot of problems doing that. And actually going to shrink and make appointments.

I haven't even told my girlfriend. She doesn't even know I have it this way or are currently depressed. I was going to tell her today, but it's so difficult. I know she will be sad for reaction and I don't want to let this go over to her, I like don't want her to worry about me

We were also in a meeting with social help care and they were going to help us with money/a bit help on rents and all of the deposit for upcoming apartment for us. And then we went out to eat in a really cheap (but really high quality) restaurant, just us two. Ate a really good pizza and a beer.

Going to put all personal stuff in spoiler now, so it doesn't eat up so much of the thread.

Using the conversations function might be even more comfortable for you with personal stuff. Sometimes in the past I have gotten anxious thinking I had divulged too much in such public places.

Wow that is expensive! Well this is a free offer for me currently since I am still so young. When above 21 or so it will be $800 a year and everything above payed for by state.

Super cool! Nice zombie avatar. LOVE IT

It's not a zombie avatar. It's the album cover page of a music album called "alive (as long as it last)" by Jokke & Valentinerne. My favorite band and artist, and from Norway. Jokke passed away in 2000 by a **** overdose unfortunately, but the music lives on. Avatar shows him from behind with a guitar in his hand. Live album from the 90's

I don't have problems with doing that as long as it doesn't bother others. If put in spoiler, those who want to see, they can see

How's shipping from there? They have so much stuff I want!!

I buy a lot from there and use DHL processing is quick and DHL takes 5-7 days. They hand off to my local postal service for final leg. Their customer service is excellent if you have a problem and of course Evan is proactive here if you need to sort anything out.
