Had a major coughing spell yesterday, that lasted half the night. SOMEONE was cooking with cayenne, forgetting that it does that to me. Very weird, because it wasn't always this way. Today, I wake up with chest hurting, still coughing, all stuffy and shit. Very frustrating.

They don’t have the big Dollar stores here, but they used to have small places selling stuff. Like one year I bought a lot of pretty nice Christmas decorations. 99 cents each was a good price, imho.

I try to reuse stuff as much as I can. I’ve been getting trash bags at eBay for a decent price, though.
I’m pretty thrifty, which is why I admire you frugalness. :hug:


I am just following the lead of big business. Cut costs where I can.

I hope you properly rewarded that 'someone' :)
A lump of coal might work?
Glad you are better.

I’ve been DIYing for a while now, but during bans I went crazy buying juice since my state was going under the hammer.

So I thought I’d break out a pre made bottle. The freaking thing won’t open at all. I attacked it with tools and still can’t open it. If my window was open, I’d have chucked it out.

sometimes use heavy duty wire cutters and cut/tear off the top. then transfer to another bottle. once used an ice pick--haven't had a bottle I couldn't get into--yet--

I should send you mine! Sheesh, I’ll have to break out tools. If I wasn’t mixing my own, I’d have been really pissed off.
It happened a few times with 10ml flavor bottles. Thanks, China. We appreciate the crappy goods!

Can't like that post. Sounds excruciating. Capsaicin gets airborne, eh? I'm so sorry! Hope you're feeling better now.

I do not like this. Not one little bit.

I live in a rural area Wally World is pretty much it. Ohh we have a few other places if I want to pay 30-50% more for the same item.
I buy cat food, canned goods and such at Wally World and all my Meats and fresh veggies at Krogers.
A jar of my jam is ~$3.20 at WW and ~3.89 at Krogers. Similar price increase on other items. And Yes I use a Kroger card.
sometimes sale items are cheaper at Krogers and I buy them there.
Krogers is always packed, don't think they are going out of business.

And those dollar General stores are ripoffs.

i get my cat food n canned goods from walmart too, but online, so it's delivered to my door.
i don't have the problems others report.

Today it's realizing that I'm missing a lot of good conversation here on VU with all this work. So fucking tired of Nutcracker. Not feeling like part of the group anymore. Oh well life sucks.
And I've been feeling like stepping back because of all the conversations. Getting burned out on all the non vape related stuff. But when you've been vaping a while and find what you like it gets kinda boring.

What group, man? You're family, dammit. I feel like this a lot of the time because of my work schedule and breaks are so brief there's barely time to sign in. When I play catch up, most are gone to bed, but I still enjoy everyone's posts. You're always with us, we're always with you.

I understand burn out, or whatever it might be called. I think this is pretty normal. I've had these spells, myself. Content in your vape life is a good place to be, but, yeah... then what? That's when I just sit and read stuff that I've never participated in. Like being a lurker, lol.

If you take a step back, don't take too many. :sad:

I feel the same way- :sad:
All day and all night- every thread-
I get it that some people are lonely and their life sux, but geez already!
On vape threads- they should be mainly talking about vaping!
Yes some vape threads get some chatter, that is to be expected- but some here take that chatter to the next level of derailing!


:hug:

This is ongoing throughout the holiday season and not exclusive to today.

Christmas shoppers and Christmas traffic near shopping centers.

I just want to buy groceries, dammit.

On the other side of the coin. I am here for the random conversations. I am totally over the VAS and not knowledgeable about the new pods and such to offer advise on them..

Roger that! Feel like a dinosaur in the vaoe world. I can help where I can, but I'm lost on pods and a fair portion of the 2019 vape world.

One thing that pisses me off is that so many vapers are still totally unaware of what is scheduled to happen next May to vaping..
All the flavor bans and such are just a distraction compared to the Deeming Regs.

I may not know which pod is best, but do work to stay current on Deeming and vaping laws.

Yeah, it was well over a year ago that I, too, realized I was a vape dinosaur

But, I still enjoy socializing on VU, and still know a thing or two about vaping in general and can make real contributions in areas I do know about

DIY, squonking, etc

Mother fucking parking ticket for being too close to a fire hydrant. Mother fucker first off there is no indication that there is a hydrant there. No red curbs or sign. Second of all because I do have a partial brain and can see the damn thing with out that shit I backed clear of it. Fuck you city of Houston for the $110 fucking gift.

Another damn thing to keep me depressed. Even the city hates me.

Sorry you're down Don. Are they going to give it back Lucy? Hope both of you have better days soon.
