[Donald Bickers]

Okay, Don. You're a discerning sort, turned your nose up at the Subtank Nano as I recall. Would like hear your opinion of the eGrip with RBA head. Deal?

I will say one thing on that RBA base,,,,,,them screws are tiny,,,,,magnetic screwdriver required for building

 

[muth]

It's just mighty difficult to measure when I have no depth perception and I always go over and or go under with measurements with cooking. I just messed up with filling my tank, I thought it was not fully filled but it was and just wasted a lil bit of juice.

You have anyone that can pour for you?

 

[InMyImage]

I got me a drool bucket, no worries. lol

It's an article on Anti-Gunners setting up a fake gun shop to simply shame first time buyers but it all looks completely like a hoax to me.

I won't get into any type of Firearm debate within this here thread, just being respectful.

Good call. I know @kelli appreciates that

 

[Tripster]

I will talk with my bro to see if he can do the pouring.

 

[TheWestPole]

Congratulations, West

Thank you, Muthy.

I am very grateful that the doc wrote me a prescription for narcotics cause that lidocaine is wearing off and I am insanely sensitive to pain these days, I almost fainted and had a seizure due to the procedure but didn't breakout in hives due to part of them giving me a shot. I am not accustom to being treated so kindly with respect and it was my very first time there. I am usually treated like someone from skidrow with hospitals. Boone County Hospital is so far the only hospital to treat me with dignity, respect, and listening. I still can't believe they allowed me to vape inside the ER room I was in and congratulated me on my vaping habit, they also stated that they actually hint to patients to switch to vaping vs going cold turkey and or the other stuff which really surprised me. I also found out that a nurse has been vaping for 3 years and will vape at work, I was so confused...majority of the time vaping is frowned upon by some medical staff but I never was told to walk outside across the street and etc.

I am loopy but damn, I kinda like this hospital and that coming from me is insanely rare. One nurse didn't like the smell of the Real Cig juice by Vapers Tek but told me that is far more safer than analogs nonetheless.

I am rambling on, lol....

No worries. Glad that you had a good experience. I imagine that you had a lot of anxiety just going in.

Check and check.

 

[2BZ4THOT]

I've heard nothing but good things about the E-grip. Plz post your impressions too

 

[Tripster]

It took me 4 days to motivate myself to go and took me nearly 10 minutes to finally walk into the ER plus it was cloudy today so I truly go outside with very little worries of the effects of nature on me as well. Oh yeah, these doctors and nurses validated my "self-diagnosis" and stated that since it took me nearly 4 years to finally come to the conclusion that I have what I have...that they respected my extensive researching and paying attention to symptoms and etc. That is truly not normal for docs and nurses to respect my "self-diagnosis" like that, majority of the time I get...you can't "self-diagnosis" yourself, leave that up to the professionals...well, I would if these professionals had knowledge and education on this rare medical condition. 99% of the time, I have to be the Professor and educate these professionals on this condition and inform them that I am not able-bodied to just get an appointment with Dermatologist and or Allergists since they're always booked and I will have to wait up to a year to see them plus transportation and weather is something I can't control.

 

[muth]

i really kinda doubt that.
is this k-box something i might be interested in?

The price is right! You have to ask yourself what your vaping habits require. There is no usb port so you will have to remove the battery and recharge it. Do you have a charger? Will you vape at 30-40 watts? If you want to raise your wattage you can get other devices with a usb charging port for your convenience.

I'm so happy that you went in for some testing. Sounds like this team of medical professionals have compassion and will be able to alleviate some of your concerns.

 

[Tripster]

I always say that we are all smarter with google

Not only did I utilize Google but I also reached out to International Doctors/Professors over the period of those 4 years since Domestic Doctors were completely disrespecting and or simply told me it was all in my head. Sad that I had to outsource for my medical emergency nonetheless.

They didn't even belittle me, they simply listened and took me serious. I am still attempting to comprehend what I just went through, I am confused but grateful that they have compassion and were completely ethical about everything.

Dude, my vision out of my left eye sucks and my right eye is a little off also.
my depth perception is in the mud. The thing that made me so good in TV
production work is that my eyes see just like a camera.
So..no excuses. Put goggles on and fill your graduate cylinder to the correct level
at eye level. (parellelax view) Same for nicotine with a syringe.

Magnifying lenses help a lot.

Hazy

 

[Tripster]

Where are you heading?

I am truly not sure but most likely the Orlando, FL area but my bro really wants to move back to MN.

It's not an excuse, it's a medical fact that I was born with.

 

[InMyImage]

@kelli I just got my wife a Sigelei Mini 30w. It is about 1/2 or so taller than an iStick 30w. It uses a replaceable 18650 battery, but you can charge it in the mod using a micro usb cable if you don't want to switch them out. I liked that it has a magnetic batter door so it is easy to change the battery.

With your skin issues, light and heat sensitivity I can't imagine that Orlando is going to be a pleasant experience for you. It's pretty humid there so the heat can get pretty bad during the summer.

 

[Warhawk-AVG]

Damn mondays

SAMSUNG say whaaaaaat?

I know but my bro needs me and I need him, I can't live alone in this cruel world and my bro will soon become my PCA once we relocate to wherever.

 

[HazyShades]

Yeah...mine is kinda medical too. I've had eye surgery twice. First time I was 5 or 6.
I can't have lenses made at any old optometrist lab 'cause they need a special grinder they don't all have.
My glasses cost me upwards of $300.
I think I could beat ya in a let's see who is worse fucked up competition.
The difference I think lies in our ages.
I've learned to deal with all my problems and find alternatives to
any handicaps I may suffer.
Even though my eyes are fucked up I managed to be a printer and worked in TV production
and was very good at both. Award winning even.

I also have a bum ankle/knee but refuse to get a handicap parking permit.

Don't take this the wrong way,, please Trip.
But, you gonna depend on your brother the rest of your life?
Did he look up your diagnosis for you or did you do it yourself?

You seem like a smart dude...Use the tools god gave you.

Hazy

Patient Care Assistant?
And yes, I can definitely understand needing someone you can count on once you have significant life challenges. Life would be pretty difficult without my wife. Already has gotten much more so now that the daughter is in college and no longer living at home.
You really don't realize just how much you rely on people until they are gone.

First off, I wasn't suggesting I am more fucked up than anybody here...simply stating that I am legally blind in my left eye, right eye can only see details when whatever is within 6 inches or less and that I have no depth perception. I was born this way and it is not an excuse one bit, I don't shrug off my handicaps since they effect my daily life and can't do things that folks who have healthy 20/20 eye sight can do. This is reality for me and I never attempt to bend reality for whatever reason. I also have glaucoma and something else which completely fogs my vision in which makes working with details damn near impossible.

This is why I stated that measuring is extremely difficult for me, it isn't easy for me period and me stating that isn't like a who's dick is bigger competition. It is merely something I have been struggling with since birth.

I am an Atheist as well.

Chat with ya'll later, quick upset over this.

Correct, my bro will get paid by the state to help me out with daily chores and routines. It's him or living in a Group Home...I'll choose my bro any day.

 

[TheWestPole]

In fairness, it was a par four intersection.

Our daughter will be doing the same thing for Ethan this summer. because of his age he doesn't get full time care yet but we are going to try to get something for mornings and afternoon/evenings if we can because it's hard for me to take care of him sometimes and my wife has been working a lot of evening and overnight shifts lately so she hasn't been around at the times he needs the most help.
It isn't always an issue, but it gets really difficult on bad days. The last 2 have been prime examples after I apparently fell but don't remember it. Back, hips and head hurt a lot and I have a knot on the bottom left side of the back of my head.

My bro asked me if he could be my Personal Care Assistant since he knows that I struggle with daily activities and I stated of course, I than told him that he can get paid to do so which would help for prescription and medical stuff.

For the sake of peace and love...I'll leave much unsaid.

[Just Me]

Ok Here's SB waiting for her Apt

Here we are going across the lake on the Ferry to VT, some ice still to plow through

Open water here, meeting the other ferry going the other way

They are going to have to go back in and remove more of SB's mass by her cheek under her eye, then are taking a bone scraping to test for cancer, a long slow process, She also has a torn knee tendon which they may or may not repair at that time.

That poor puppy i shall keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Big hugs to you both

Don't feel bad. I didn't get it till I just read your post IMI

 

[Just Me]

no i mean really...why would you have to mention it. to make us feel inferior? it seems that is the purpose here. you with all your exclusive secret clubs and showing off your mega priced equipment. yes, we are all impressed. feel better?

Bit harsh dont you think? I mean really whats the difference between him showing his mods and stuff and you posting your pics?? He is proud of what he has and what he accomplished. He worked hard for it let him have his moment. Is there really something wrong with showing it off? Im am just gonna shut up now.

 

[HazyShades]

For our generation, that was one of the hottest women on TV. Used to watch her corny B movies every week.

Agreed. Very hot lady with a great sense of humor.
She's hot w/o the Morticia getup too and she has a real cool rottweiler

 

[Just Me]

Boone County Hospital here in Columbia ain't bad, just sucks that I had to go there for an embarrassing and painful reason.

Time to lay down cause I am under the influence of prescribed narcotics, whew!

My eyes keep rolling back, lol!

Awe sweetie im so sorry

 

[HazyShades]

no i mean really...why would you have to mention it. to make us feel inferior? it seems that is the purpose here. you with all your exclusive secret clubs and showing off your mega priced equipment. yes, we are all impressed. feel better?

Come on now, kelli.
He's a man of the cloth...they get all the expensive toys.

A friend of mine did some work for the local friary
and the head brother came out and gave him six franklin mint
dragons valued at $300 each. Twas a donation.

Hell, my ex gave the Fender Mustang electric guitar I bought her
to St. Louis Catholic Church here. Thing is worth a couple of grand.
I bet some guitar playing priest got on a forum someplace and showed it off.

How about I buy you lunch at subways? I'll even bless you..
unless you're an atheist also...

Smile. You look so much prettier when you smile
