its funny, just not the moment you cant find your phone, and your favorite games are missing. he has his own phone to play on (daddys old backup backup phone that no longer will connect to carriers) but he wants daddys because he can call grandma and talk to her if he can find her picture.

That is wonderful! I think you better start building his computer, don't skimp, sounds like a natural techie, he could be the next Bill Gates or better! You have to give him the tools, let him shine!

Hi everyone, I'm just sitting here breathing and regrouping to get ready to start the final lesson of this class. Finished the last one yesterday and am quite pleased with the result which I'll post if anyone is interested.

Now, my dilemma, I've been vaping with this Trident clone for a few weeks now and want another rebuildable dripper, not to replace the Trident but to compliment it. I love the Trident but it has one little drawback that I don't want to repeat with the second one, the 510 hole for the drip tip is smaller than standard and I'm very limited with drip tip choices for it. I do not want an Igo-L because there are no holes already drilled in the posts and wrapping the legs of the coil around the posts is a pain. The number of choices is mind boggling so I thought I'd ask what those of you dripping rebuildables really like.

As for me, I'm trying hard to behave myself. I'm still smoking, but I haven't gone back to strong cigarettes--sticking with the ultra-lights, and breathing better without the need of medication. I've lost 23 lbs. since the 1st of December (got a jump-start on my New Year's resolutions) by getting back on a traditional low-carb diabetic regimen. I'm behaving myself so far, but I have terrible cravings for pancakes (can't find a good low-carb recipe for those yet), and Irish cream. No, not the flavoured creamer one can buy, but the good old-fashioned alcoholic Bailey's. I can't seem to find any information on alcohol and low-carb diet (or diabetes), so I'm not sure if it's healthy to indulge. I'll have to keep looking for info, I guess.

Sorry for my novel. Have a good evening, everyone :)

WOW ! ! ! "Ultra-light" Cigarettes - WHERE ? ? ?

In the 80's I actually had worked "Myself" down to "ultra-lights" until the powers that be said that the manufactures could no longer label cigarettes as "Light" or "Ultra-Lights" . . . Matter of fact, I was actually smoking one of the lowest Tar/Nicotine cigarettes available at the time "Barclay 100's Ultra-Light Menthols" and when they were removed from the market back to "Kool 100's Ultra-Light Menthol" - only 2 PAD for a number of years and was cutting back even more every day . . . Since then, I was forced to smoke hidden labeled Kool "Lights" and am back up to 2 1/2 - 3 PAD and am still struggling (So - I blame the government for this) - Hopefully, although the "WTA" I have seems to help a little, I can find "My" ADV soon . . .

Now as for "Your" search for information concerning "Bailey's Irish Cream" . . . First, FYI: Alcohol in general and Diabetes . . . While it is no longer looked down upon as before - PLEASE BE AWARE that there is actual relation to Alcohol & Diabetes syndrome called "Diabetic Alcoholism" ("My" Grandmother died from this), especially given that most alcohol beverages are made from things that contain Sugars and Complex Carbohydrates . . . SO - With the understanding that the More "You" Know, the Better decissions "You" can make - Here are some links for "You" and anyone else to check out that really want to know more:

Alcohol and diabetes: Drinking safely - Mayo Clinic

Diabetes and Alcohol | Effects of Alcohol on Diabetes

Diabetes and Diet: A Recipe for Optimal Control | JDRF: Improving Lives. Curing Type 1 Diabetes

Taking a Closer Look At Labels: American Diabetes Association®

Alcohol: American Diabetes Association®

Baileys Irish Cream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Notice: Carbohydrate Value)

What Can I Drink?: American Diabetes Association®

NOW - While I have personally chosen to no longer drink alcohol beverages as much as I use to (At one time 10+ double or more alcohol drinks a day) that does not mean I do not drink any alcohol at all - I will occasionally have a cocktail or glass of wine every so often when I chose to (Including Coffee w/Bailey's too
yum.gif
). . .

BTW: Giving up Alcohol and Pepsi (2 - 2 Litter bottles a day) for "Me" was not easy at all and I found it just as difficult to do as I am stopping smoking cigarettes, but I found substitutes that finally worked for "Me" . . . AND - It is why I also know I will become a full-time vapor some day and stop smoking . . . So - the search for a Flavor of "e-liquid" to become "My" ADV continues . . . Just Sayin' . . .;)

OH - Another "tid-bit" of information and another positive: I actually drop over 30 lbs when when I decided to stop drinking Alcohol & Pepsi . . . :thumbs:

Hello all! Great info Uncle, thanks for the links. Congrats on your giving up one of my favorite vices, and your weight loss. And good luck on your ADV hunt. I've been looking for a long time, but I decided I can't settle on one, so I gave up. I have about 10 favorites and rotate until I get in a flavor rut, then search out some new ones, but still roll back to my favorites again eventually.

I took a mental health day from work, the kids stayed home from school because I was too lazy to get them up and out of the house this morning. I slept until 9 then went to take a shower, but NO WATER!!! :shock: Got some lamps and my precious space heater under the house now, and the water is working again, and no spewing that I can hear. Whew. Oh, and I left it dripping last night, but apparently not enough to suit mother nature. Can I please have SC's weather back now? Pretty please????

Karen I'm ruminating on the comedy fest for tonight, hope to post some good ones. Right now I better go do some laundry and wash dishes while the water still works!

In relation to diabetes: I have found if it is something I want to eat or drink it is not good for your diabetes. Especially if it is something that can be categorized as a 'treat.' Just my observation. If I know that I am going to 'treat' myself to something, I try to watch the other carbs that I eat for that day and limit the quantity of the treat. Sometimes this works, sometimes it is an utter failure. If I overdue the carbs I do not feel well for at least a day so I am learning the hard way to not overdo things.

On the all day vape front. I have found 3 or 4 juices that I can vape for hours/days at a time. I now find that I do have to break it up with other flavors during the day. Never had to do that the first few months. Now I find that if I do not switch out flavors every so often, the adv flavor changes and I think my tastebuds get tired. After I do a flavor change for a couple of hours or a day or so, I can usually go back to my favorites.

Thanks bunches for all the great info, Uncle!! Definitely worth reading, and good advice to follow.

As for your question of "ultra-light" cigarettes, I know that the tar and nicotine content are no longer on the cigarette packages, but if you were to go here:

http://www.dutyfreedepot.com/

or here:

Cheap cigarettes | cheapcigsmall.com - cheap cigarettes, tobacco, cosmetics

...you will find that the stuff that's no longer on our packages is posted for many brands of cigarettes. Through this information I was able to determine which cigarettes were ultra-light, and buy accordingly. Hope this helps a bit.

If I'm breaking any rules by posting this information, please forgive me.

Good Evening! I see we have a start, I am late because I was sleeping a little, too cold for me here. I know I shouldn't say that, it's colder where a lot of you are.

I have viewed a million videos I can't post something questionable in each one! I'll find something, meantime, don't wait for me, keep going! YOU are doing a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
