Vapers in Arkansas?

[dee5]

This weekend I'm gonna get out my Arkansas map and see if I can plot a central location that would suit most of us for a meet up. Now that the weather is struggling out of the cold maybe we can plan something. I like your idea Thegrindre, those members that have kids could bring them along to play outside....? Maybe? Mine are grown but some still might have young ones. What do the rest of you think?

 

[thegrindre]

I really don't like the idea of vaping in front of children. Other then that, sounds good to me.
My whole idea was to get us AR vapers together, just for fun to 'chew the fat', and discuss vaping.
I'm sure we'd all love to show off our PV's and tell our story.

Anyone else want to add to this?

Thanks,

Let me know what your pushpins tell you Dee There must be some point on the map we can all get to!

Russelville maybe? How far is that from Fayetteville?

 

[HeatherBee]

If it's outside at a park etc I see no problem vaping... The kids would be off playing & it is the outdoors. Just adding my 2 cents. (I have a 20 month old & 5 year old).

Russelville is about 2 hours from Fayetteville.

I bet most kids have seen their parents smoke (and probably vape too). But if we're outside, whats the big deal? I agree that an all adult meet up would be better without some being distracted by their kids but I don't want it to keep any one away that would otherwise come. Russelville is doable for me but I'll let you all know on Sunday about what location is most central for most of us. Gotta travel tomorrow!

Little Rock checking in. I'm in for a meet up where ever.

Hi BSmith! Another Little Rock, cool! I'm sorry guys, I haven't got the map thing done. I got distracted trying to create one online so that I could share it with you. If anybody knows how to do this please send a link!

Dee - I would turn to Google for help. Google Maps is great for stuff like this.

Here is a quick start guide: Google Maps - Personalized "My Maps"
Google Map Help Page

Or... you could put up a Guestmap from Bravenet and let the forum members add themselves, since they know where about there town/neighborhood, etc is. (I haven't used this one before)

If you are looking for something else, let me know and I'll keep looking for the features you are looking for.

Another idea is to 'take a picture' (screenshot) of Arkansas then edit it in your favorite paint program. Once there, you can add anything you want to it.
I'll be more then happy to host it for you at my web site if you don't have any other place to put it.

Good morning Arkies. Checking in from Mayflower. Just staying in and keeping cool today.

 

[dee5]

Great ideas guys, I'll give them a try! And a belated "good morning" to you to trichman, hope you had a good day.

 

[thegrindre]

You gotta love it. Dee is over 2 years tobacco free and she still visits these forums.

 

[dee5]

Ahhh, thegrindre, if only it were so! I am one of the ones who still smoke a couple of cigs a day. : ( When i started vaping it wasn't with the intention of quitting completely. I think if that had been my intention, I would have been able to do it. That's why my banner doesn't say "smoke free" or "tobacco free". But I DID go from 30 cigs a day, down to 2-3, and that is fine with me. Hopefully someday when I set my mind to it I'll be able to walk away from them completely!

I just got a friend to start vaping a few weeks ago and he's the same as you. Has to smoke a couple cigs a day still.
Ya know, you really gotta want to convert to be able to do it.
Me? I just knew it was right for me the very first day I tried it. Man, am I ever glad I did, too. Smokin' 2 to 3 packs a day was killin' me. Now I can vape 5 packs a day safely... and I do. LOLOL I'll vape 8 to 10 carts a day, easy.

Vape away thegrindre, I'm sure by now your body is telling you it's ok to vape as much as you want. Today I'm having a crummy vaping day- none of my juices taste right to me. This happens every once in awhile. You would think that with about 40 to choose from I could find one that hits the spot!

Hey y'all from Hardy, AR. Just found you today.

 

[ajrily]

Good morning Arkies. Checking in from Mayflower. Just staying in and keeping cool today.

Hey trichman, fancy finding you here. No doubt surrounded by a fog of Maple Waffles.

Yes, still in the fog of my Maple Waffles. It is going nicely with my coffee this morning. It's akin to oxygen for me!

When the day comes, it should be MUCH easier to walk away from 2-3 a day than 30.
