Unexpected, or not oft discussed benefits of vaping over smoking.

[AndriaD]

I'd quote Sheldon Cooper and say "I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested" but in our house, an appendage would have to be hanging off by more than 50% before they'd take us to the dr. Dad would just say "Cuts & bruises, that's how the Dr's getcha." Then he'd give us a shot of Jagmeister to make us pass out and mom would just say "If it hasn't stopped bleeding by morning, we'll take you to see someone" then light up another Kool and and have a vodka & Sprite and start reading another romance novel.

ROFL! Your mom actually sounds a lot like me... Everytime our son would get a cold, stay home from school, my mom would go "did you take him to the Dr?" And I'd be all "the Dr can't do a damn thing for a cold! If he's not better in a week, THEN I'll take him!" And my husband would be all "doctors are just practicing! Quacks, all of 'em!"

And then I'd go back to my romance novel. Historical of course, and they better get the history right, or I'll rant endlessly. I've even gone so far as to throw a book at a wall, if they got the historical detail wrong.

PS: wouldn't you just love to throw a big fat physics book at Sheldon?

You was brought up right. LOL Sounds like my home as a kid.

Not stopping at the gas station, or convenience store daily is saving me time and gas! Plus, i would usually grab some gum to hide my smokers breath or some beef jerky. Im probably saving just as much from not impulse spending at the store.

 

[The Torch]

Ah, yes... skipping the corner store everyday and having to wait to get back into traffic. I'd still go there to get beer however, but preferred to avoid old habit induced temptation. I should go back and tell them I'm not dead in case they feel remorse for selling me all those cigs.

Have another one :

Not going to the cash machine (don't know how you call it over there) and withdraw 20 bucks just so I could buy a pack of cigs. Since most stores don't have change anyway, buy something to have coins to buy the pack of cigs and then order a cup of coffee because the change is ruining my pockets lol

I would i f I was Leonard but I love Aspergery people. They tend to be gloriously unfiltered and have almost no compunction to be something they aren't.

Heh... I almost burned myself the other day, after dry burning a coil... my fingers got a leeeeeetle too close to it while I was unscrewing it from the mod. But I cook a lot; a burn here or there really doesn't distress me... that's why I keep a live aloe plant at all times. Right now all the "babies" from my last really humongous one are crowding out the enormous pot they're in. Guess what I'll be giving as xmas gifts this year.

Here's one for the gals! I do my own manicures, usually two coats of polish and a top coat. Takes a little bit of time, but saves me lots of money, and I've gotten pretty good at it. But, it takes all that polish a while to dry, which is boring, boring while waiting.

I never remembered to plan ahead, and when I used to try to get a cigarette out of the pack and light it up with wet nails, I would always mess up my nails bigtime. Now that I have my trusty MVP just sitting there, all I have to do is carefully pick it up and vape!

While being a dude, I can't relate, but I can understand, and this is exactly what I was looking for in the OP

I don't think that's what tchavel meant, but I have done that often... Heck, we have 1$ and 2$ coins over here! That's the only part I miss about smoking: getting rid of the bulk of my change FAST. The good part is I recently rolled up 75$ in large coins. I should really get a larger pot for those and use it for paying juice bottles and vaping equipment to keep the old habit up.

No more scorching my hair on windy days, and no more need for a fragrance spray for my hair.

We have dollar coins too, Sacagawea dollars, and there are probably still a few Susan B Anthonys out there, it's just that the collectors (like my husband!) snatch 'em up so most folks never see 'em. You can even still find the occasional Eisenhower dollar, but they're getting rarer and rarer, thanks to guys like my husband. Still legal tender though, although your average Walmart clerk has no freakin clue what they are.

I've seen and had some of those. What I mean is we don't have 1 or 2 dollar bills in Canada anymore (not that the U.S. is really known for having 2 dollar bills for a long while). Those have been in coin form for well over 10 years now over here.

I actually had some 1 and 2 dollar bills refused by a Wally World class corner store employee once. She had never seen those and I had to resort to plastic money, while every one else in line behind me might have been interested to look at them one last time. They were too mangled to be worth the paper they had been printed on, though...

I saw a $2 dollar bill yesterday. First time in a long time. The kid at McD's didn't want to take it and had to ask his one year older supervisor how to make change from it.

lol Kids these days. Pretty soon the only cash they will know is a debit card.

Wow imagine what would have been the reaction of this kid if he found an old video tape or something like that. The reactions of kids are more bizarre the younger they are
