LOL! at first glance that pic looked like dancing bacon strips.
Best way to check if a word is censored is type it and hit preview post - if its gone don't use it in a meme.
There's a lot of small minded people sitting alone in dark basements with huge chips on their shoulders. They teem with hate yet can't understand why. So even if they aren't in the least bit offended they will report your post (which sends big red flags up in the main ECF mod forum) just to be spiteful and mean. They fill the emptiness of their soul with trouble and tribulation. They feed on anarchy and suffering.
You may even think from their posts that they are kind, good natured people and even your friend. But they really are looking for an opening to make you miserable. But like all trolls and wild animals - don't feed them and they'll wither and die (or go to the "other" forum where they gather strength from each others vileness)
Rules are rules so basically there's nothing anyone can do to help you once the trolls smell blood.

Do you get alerted if somebody reported your post?
I get some likes here and there, but if there is any consistency in the world, many don't like what I have to say. I like some critical comments from time to time, just to make myself a little better.

With so much multi-media around, there needs to be a list. I never understood why Pbsurado's PSA video was censored. There's a whole thread with some valuable nicotine information that's been deleted. Not just a post, the entire thing. That was a big loss. I play a music association game - am I responsible for every word in a music video? That's why I said I was kaka, along with everyone else who has ever posted a music video.
It sounds like the censors are feeding the trolls.
I know it was terrible, I was in a hurry to catch Lori
Not terrible - I thought dancing bacon was hilarious.
Good morning/afternoon, all!!!
Feeling pretty dang good today. It's Friday, I have 4 days off, and I'm losing weight. Yay! Just catching up while waiting for my bacon to defrost so I can have my eggs/bacon/melon breakfast. I really do love Atkins--it's a fatty food lover's dream!
Not to worry folks, I actually read the book from cover to cover when I first looked into the diet some 10 years ago so I know that just eating bacon cheese burgers without the bun is NOT the right way to do it. But just being ABLE to is awesome.
So much to catch up on....
We're getting the house painted this weekend, and today I have to go to the county records office to see if my second mortgage is attached to a lien on the house. This is for the bankruptcy filing; if it is attached to the house then my attorney says to file Ch13 so that I can strip the loan. If it's not then I should file Ch11 to discharge it with the rest of my cc debt.
OMG, that reporter still works here in Portland, and he's sort of a local "fixture". He always refers jokingly to this report saying that was his claim to fame.
Shari gave a great description ; I don't know if you get the same kind of wind from the lakes, but that's another thing that's really distinctive about the ocean. Here in the fall and winter, we do "storm watch" parties on the coast. People fill up the shoreline hotels to watch the violent weather. It's so impressive and amazing to see. This video is a great example of an Oregon Coast Storm (we get them every year!) What can I say, I love living here.
Congratulations! I'm working hard on cutting down. I just got some new juice yesterday and having something new really helps for me. Keep it up!
Thanks Shari, I noticed that the girl who started that thread has asked the vapor rater to review Yaeliq's juice, so I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews. Who knows? Maybe it is as good as some are saying.
Yep...I get bored with juices quickly so I have a hard time keeping it up.
I still need to give these guys a try...since I started smoking and snussing, I have not had a chance to try as many juices as I want. Guess there's a reason to work on that!
Mine gets up on the desk and literally BLOCKS the computer screen. I move him, he jumps back up. We can do this as much as five or six times, until he FINALLY gets it, or I give up and give him whatever it is he wants at the time.
Another one on my list...(Fuzion). Virgin Vapor is the first juice I got besides the two I picked up when I bought my eRoll. I liked them, but definitely not sweet. Compared to other VG based liquids I've tried, they have the best concentration of flavor, IMO.
I've heard very good things about VR. I'd like to try them too.
Oh shoot!!! As Aik said, you're not the only one. Can you refuse the shipment? That sucks.
That really stinks, FQ--you'll get through it!
Awwww....poor Dale!
Me 4! I actually have callouses on my ankles from sitting cross-legged at my desk chair here at home. Need to stop sitting that way because alligator skin on ankles is not attractive.
Yikes! I'll have to check myself more often too. I, like many, have a bit of a potty mouth. I used to swear like a sailor but that stopped and now there are some words I just never use (unless I'm seriously upset, scared, or hurt).
I am often surprised at what 'gets in' and what doesn't. Not casting any aspersions on the mods, they have a very tough job. But I got a post edited for talking about the female hero in the context of nicotine addiction when I swear I'd seen that word used in that context before. Oh well,

Hey I completely forgot that I hit a milestone earlier tonight, 2 weeks. With the new itaste even with lower nic juice I can honestly say I never wanted a cig today at all.

Sounds just like my kitty. She gets up on my desk, sits on my mouse and tries to walk on my keyboard while rubbing her face off my laptop monitor. Her tail is a lethal weapon around my juice bottles that are on my desk. I have/had a T3 clearomizer, but I haven't seen it in months, ever since she knocked it off with that tail. I have ProTank and Evod heads soaking in alcohol in little plastic ziplock bags sitting in the glass I used to keep my smokes in. Her fetish is, and always has been, licking plastic, so needless to say, I have to chase her away from licking those bags.
Oh, the things we put up with from those cute? little furbabies.

No it wasn't you
Some people don't realize that as funny as they are - some of the memes (I think they're called that) have explicit language but because its an image not text file ECF censors won't catch it - however ECF considers it circumventing the censors and it can be a bannable offense.

Thanks for the congrats.
Since I'm still hunting the good juice and places to get it I really appreciate these juice discussions, Thank you all.
I do not know how anyone could sit cross legged in a computer chair, I can barely do it on the floor and then have to use my hands to forceably pull my feet into the position, within seconds I am struggling to get out of that position because it hurts.
I kinda have to watch myself too because I swear like a sailor.

Good afternoon! Still recuperating from my all-nighter with Shari. 
Welcome, mytsmooth, and congrats on 6 weeks smoke free!
I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the holiday weekend. Lori, it's nice to see you and Bill are doing okay.
My knees are fine, but my **** back and my *** are ****ing killing me from sitting at this ******* computer so much! Thankfully I'm a ****ing lady and I never swear.

I wasn't sure where to go but then I remembered that a while ago someone recommended this thread to me.
I am still a fairly new vaper and had been doing good trying to alternate between cigarettes and vaping. However a few weeks ago I slipped big time and have been rarely vaping. I know my smoking is directly related to my emotions and the more I am upset or depressed about the more I smoke. I always have my ecigs with me but I am reaching for my cigarettes instead. When I do try and vape I only do a few puffs then put it down and light up.
I am at a loss as to how I can make myself vape more and smoke less. This is something I truly want and need to do I just feel like I'm a loser or weak person when it come to the transition. I am just so very frustrated with myself right now.

You're in the right place!
You are not a loser or weak, we are almost all having problems of the sort!
Stick around & feel welcomed!
Hi BettySue,
I think I was the one who recommended you come visit us. Welcome to the smoking thread! My smoking is directly related to my illness, although I only recently discovered what the real problem was.
I've quit now 2 times with vaping, and am starting on my third attempt. My problem has been the longer I stay quit, the sicker I get. Now I'm under a doctor's care and hopefully will be able to make the 3rd attempt stick for good.
Emotional/brain chemistry issues and physical problems are the hardest to deal with, I think. I remember you mentioning that it was difficult for you to spend much money on equipment and juice, but my suggestion would be to really do what you can to get some WTA juice. It has helped many of us get over the hump.
Some here have even decided never to completely quit because there are things in tobacco that actually do good things for us.
Whatever you do, know that you can hang out here and get support for your situation, or at least have some fun with people who won't judge your progress or to give you useless advice like "you just have to want it" or "just quit". Everyone here in this thread understands that for some people, it's not that easy or realistic.

Hi Bettusue,
you have come to the right place. You are not a loser or a weak person, you are addicted to a powerful combination of drugs just like the rest of us. As long as you continue to think of yourself like that it's not going to work. First thing you need to do is stop putting pressure on yourself to quit. Smoke when you smoke and vape when you vape, lose the pressure to quit and it will get easier. Stop beating yourself up when you smoke and vape to enjoy the vape.
What equipment and juice are you using to vape? That can have a lot to do with it, you have to like the vape better than the smoke or it's not going to work.
I didn't have any intention of quitting when I started vaping, but I wanted to try it to see what all the hype was about. I found that I really liked it and without even thinking about it cut down to 4 a day right at the start, after a while I was down to 2 and stayed there for a couple of weeks and then the cigs just started being less satisfying than the vape did so I stopped them.
It's only been two weeks for me and I do struggle at times, but when that happens I chain vape 24mg juice and before I know it the cravings are gone.
It is extremely important that you vape a juice that you really like and that has a high enough nic level to satisfy the cravings. I think you are probably trying too hard to quit and putting too much pressure on yourself. The minute I tell myself I will never smoke another cig that is exactly what I will do, so I even keep one with me just in case, then I don't have to grieve the loss of my dear friend.
Different things work for different people, this is what is working for me but it may not be right for you, that doesn't make either of us right or wrong it just makes us different.
I've smoked for most of the last 55 years and am completely addicted to cigarettes, more than just the nicotine.
Hang in there and relax, quit beating yourself up and maybe it will happen, but if it doesn't you are still a great person. Stop trying to MAKE yourself do anything, that just doesn't work.
Welcome, bettysue! We've all been there and many of us are still there. We 'get it'. Switching from smoking to vaping isn't something that happened to any of us 'by accident'. We've all struggled and continue to struggle with it.
I've tried to quit many times in my 42+ years of smoking and ended up smoking 3 to 4 packs a day. This is my 3rd time trying to quit with ecigs in the last 4 years, and I'm now over 8 weeks smoke free, the longest I've ever gone. I credit this forum, especially the people on this thread, for my success so far this time. No one here judges you if you fall and even small successes are celebrated.
Having a place to go when you're having a hard time and need support is great. Having a place to go to get a pat on the back when you're doing well is just as great. You'll find all that here with us. Stick around...we don't bite.
Would someone please go to Walmart for me? I've put it off all week and now I'm actually out of important stuff.
I don't wanna go

Welcome BettySue!!
See my join date? November 2011. See my banner? NOT 2011. I am one weak moment or one bad decision away from being a smoker again. This thread is my sanity on ECF. These people quickly became really close friends, this is home now.
Vent, scream, cry, squee, do the happy dance, whatever you feel like! Everyone here gets it!
Variable wattage and WTA and 24mg nicotine liquid helped me quit. These friends help me stay that way.

Oh, I wanted to go to walmart today! Pick me, pick me!!
Err... Well, I would if I could, anyway. Car's at work with the husband and I don't think getting things from my Walmart in Indiana to you would be very cost efficient. Cursed 'logic'.
