Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

[FL Lori]

I'm turning in ladies and gents. Have a happy Saturday! I'm hoping to sleep late if the planets are in alignment and the cartoons are riveting. We'll see y'all tomorrow!

Nighty night

 

[ShariR]

Saturday morning? You should be good on the cartoons. Sleep well FQ.

 

[Claudia P]

Aha I found a little thing that said full site and now everything is normal on the tablet too.
Going to lay down shortly, will see everyone in the morning.

 

[Karen N Daytona]

just wanna say I'm here but having the spasms, so I am reading but really can't participate right now

 

[ShariR]

Good night Claudia.

Oh Karen, I do hope they go away soon. Ouch. I am reading that Cigarette Noobies thread and laughing at it. See if you can do that for a bit, might make you feel better.

[Uncle]

I really do not want to interrupt the conversation - nor "Beat a dead horse" . . .

(And for those PETA people that might be lurking and ready to jumb on "Me" - PLEASE NOTE: No Real Animal was hurt in this animation . . .Just Sayin' . . . )

However there are a few post I would like to respond to . . .

You're such a burro's b......wait......I guess I can't say that...but you know it's true! j/k Uncle - you know we you!

I DO - "SWEET LADY" - I DO . . . And - The feeling is quite mutual to say the least . . .

BTW: Yes I can be, and will say so when I am one way or another and when need be too . . .

if I was prudish or feminist.

Well to be perfectly honest - I Am NOT A PRUDE either - To Say The Least . . . However, I AM A "Feminist" at heart and see many things through a "Feminist Lens" too even though I am a GAY MAN . . . And Personally I did not "like" seeing certain things, especially since it was an accepted one way street (Well - WAS, because it is not any more and that is a Good Thing as far as I am concerned) . . . So that is only one of the reason's I got into trouble and was reported to the moderators . . . Can "We" all say "Homophobic" . . . That is all I can say about that . . . However, the worse thing is the loss of a very good ECF Friend all because he is quite friendly with them . . . Oh Well - Got a Lot more since then . . . So all is GOOD . . .

Thank you for the welcome, and great story Claudia. I think the censor was freakin out about Uncle's picture of naked smileys skinny dipping. I know that I for one was very offended - sarcasm is a bit difficult to pull of without facial expression.

UH - Although I may have posted a few very questionable or on the edge and pushing the envelope "Smiley/Emoticons" . . .
Like taking a Bath . . .

Or Even in a Hot Tub . . .

However, I will emphatically state that I HAVE Never posted a "Smiley Skinny Dipping" - at least not that I remember or know of at all . . .
So Please Repost ASAP . . . I know I can use it somewhere appropriate . . .

Everyone knows that uncle drips with sarcasm And he's the smiley king

Call "Me" Sarcastic - How Dare "YOU" . . .

SARCASM "ME" - NEVER EVER - NOPE - NA DA - NOT HAPPEN - NOT "ME" . . .

Opps - I forgot . . . There is something about that in "My" Signature Line . . .

OH and as for being the "Smiley King" . . . Thanks - I think . . . Most people only think of "Me" as being a "B" (fill in the blank - I'm not gonna' go to no stinkin' "SIN BIN" Again) . . . Just Sayin' . . .

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.

Here's a tip (you didn't hear this from me ) unless you blatantly post something foul, call someone out, engage in a flame war, post nudity, or post profanity in a thread that's already been heavily moderated due to any of the above - someone probably reported your post.

Unless of course it's in pif and me or my mods see it first. ECF mods don't really step in with pif unless I ask them or someone reports something. I try to keep it that way

YA THINK . . .

Actually if a mod takes time and edits your post and doesn't delete it - you should take it as a compliment. It's much easier to delete stuff and issue an infraction.
I've actually caught heck for editing posts instead of deleting them and reporting them.

Just wish this happened more often . . . Just Sayin . . .

First of all I'm not really sure why your taking exception here. Rules ARE enforced equally - there's just not enough mods to read everything posted on ECF. it's like speeding - some people get away with it others get pulled over and ticketed. I don't have time to read everything posted in pif - but I DO skim every thread every day. If something violates rules and I see it I delete it. If its a recurring problem I'll pm the person a warning to knock it off.

My post concerning trolls was responding to Uncle explaining to people why some people seem to be singled out more than others - it's usually because they have a troll stalking them just looking for a reason to report them. Once someone complains and the mods step in the rules are enforced (whether I like you or not and my dear friend Uncle can attest to this)

Are there trolls on pif? You betcha. Do you yourself have a troll? I honestly don't know but I can tell you had the post I deleted been reported you'd have received a pm from an ECF mod.

I'm just trying to be helpful here and I really don't get why your having an issue here. I'm just a mod and owner of this (pif) forum and anything outside of pif I honestly don't concern myself with as I have no control over it.

I can tell you that ECF mods do peruse pif and really all your doing right now is drawing attention to a deleted post. That I deleted by the way to keep you out of trouble.

So am I missing something?

YEP - Although I really got "T'D OFF" for the who and why it was done (Especially since I Know WHY and the REAL Reason/s behind it all . . . See I'm "Playing Nice Here . . . could have said something else) - I Will Definitely Attest To That FACT and I will Even Go SO Far To Say I TOTALLY AGREE . . .Especially since I have at least 4 that I know of and maybe another 2 Trolls following "Me" and even going so far to bait "Me" into a confrontation . . . And many of the Mod's and even ECF Administration know who they are too by now . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Oh I can weave a web of profanity that would make your head spin but yeah it's scary over there


So I read the other day that people that use a lot of expletives tend to be more honest. If that's true Abe Lincoln has nothing on me

OH - PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU PLAN TO START . . . I Can Help Ya, especially if in Ya' forget any of them there words . . .
(Remember I worked with Women . . . Just Sayin' . . . )

Okay - I NEED to Go Back to "Lurking" . . .

Alright Move Along - Nothing Else to See Here . . .

Good morning everyone
Have a great holiday weekend

Hey Everyone.

Haven't been around much do to still having this crazy headache that won't quit. I've developed a nice crick in my neck which is not helping matters but I know it's all stress related. I'm listing my house next week so I'm crazy busy between getting things ready and trying to lose this headache.

I have now experienced the leaking issue from deejstuff. 2 out of 3 bottles leaked... with non-child-resistant caps on them no less. It's not that big of a deal, a quick rinse took care of it. That being said, I'm still impressed with the quality of the juice so I just placed an order before the 20% off coupon goes away. (Feeling a little guilty about the free bottles I keep winning.)

Between that order, and the one from HDV not to mention all the stuff I've been getting from fasttech and ebay (wick and wire) I am soooo done ordering for at least several months. It's getting out of control... I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse or a government run by Snookie. I'm preaching to the choir I'm sure.

I hope everyone is well. I'm off to read 60+ pages...

My father always told me as a little girl that the only people who swore were people who were not intelligent enough to express themselves properly. Sometimes though, nothing beats the right word or phrase. I have greatly strayed from his teachings many a time.

That's the one I know

I so often think in some ways we are all so much alike.... It must be the personality that gets us in this group

I keep telling you this is the NutHouse!

just wanna say I'm here but having the spasms, so I am reading but really can't participate right now

Awww, I hope you're all better now

Good morning everyone

You too Lox & Jazz

Just popping in to say Good Morning, no time to post (or catch up!) as I'm off to work. Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[FinallyQuit]

Announcement, I'm an idiot.

Wow.

Good morning everyone. Is 8 am considered sleeping late? If so then somebody forgot to tell my brain. I'm off for coffee now, have a couple errands to run, then it's housework most of the morning. I'm trying to take the girls to the lake this weekend but rain threatens.

Hope you all have a wonderful LONG weekend!

Good morning and no you aren't an idiot, I don't know why you would think you are.
To some people sleeping till 8:00 is considered very late, to me it is the middle of the night. lol

I hope the rain holds off for you and you get to go to the lake.

Enjoy your long weekend.

 

[FinallyQuit]

Thanks Claudia, for taking up for me, against me!

I came here this am and announced that I had received 9000 likes.

Then I came back when my brain was in gear and realized I had GIVEN 9000 likes, and it will be many moons before I receive that many.

Ah, knowledge is power!

Good morning everyone. I enjoyed reading all that I missed after I went to sleep

Thank you for all the understanding, support, and encouragement. You are right in that I feel pressured to quit and to vape full time. I know my breathing is suffering, my husband (a lifetime non-smoker) would like me to quit, and I also know it would help my pets (4 cats 1 dog) if I quit.

My husband knew I smoked when we met but he would really prefer if I could quit or greatly cut down. In fact he knew I wanted to try a different type of e-cig so he bought the kit for me. My first kit was an eGo-C which I still keep filled but don't use right now. About a month or so into vaping I realized that perhaps part of the issue was that the eGo-C has no resemblance to a cigarette so I thought maybe that was part of the problem. My second kit was for an eRoller (in white of course) which I do like better than the eGo-C.

I happened to get lucky in that the first e-liquid I purchased I like. In fact I prefer the taste of the liquid better than my cigarettes. Both are menthol. The e-liquid is a menthol tobacco 24mg. At first I had to dlute it as I was coughing a lot with the eGo-C which I later learned was my puffing technique not the e-liquid.

Thank you for making me feel welcome in this thread, I think I found a new place to hang out

 

[Karen N Daytona]
