I may have just lost my only reason to never bother with a squonk. Dual battery bottom feed mod with the hand feel of an RX200...
Says it's TC, but doesn't specify S.S. Could this be it?!

It worked. After a brief phone conversation my friends wife stopped at my house today. I had a couple new iStick 30's here and a bunch of GS Air tanks and coils, plus some 24 mg unflavored juice. I showed her how to operate everything, change the coil, fill the tank, charge the battery, disassemble the tank to clean it. She was stunned. She heard about vaping on the news but didn't know the first thing about it.

She was proud as a peacock when she left...said she was going to spill the beans to her husband, and intends to stop smoking, which like some of you said he probably knows she smokes, it's impossible to hide the smell of cigarettes unless you shower after every smoke, brush teeth, mouthwash, etc.

I told her I could meet her at the vape shop tomorrow to try flavored juice if she likes....haven't heard back yet, she seemed to like the unflavored. With high nic content it's about the closest you can get to the taste of cig smoke. She tried the various flavors I have in my attys, but liked the unflavored better. I told her if she stops smoking her taste buds would return and probably like a flavored juice over unflavored, but it's all good.

Hopefully she will continue vaping and not return to the smokes. Only time will tell.

Hope everyone had a great hump-day......:)

AWESOMENESS!!!!! Good job on the unflavored! From there, the world is her oyster.

Well, a new complication has come up, with our water heater installation. :mad: First off, the extra thingie that we had to buy, wasn't included with the water heater when the Lowes plumber picked up the water heater. And then, when the plumber got out here and looked at the existing installation, he said that when they installed our water purification system, they connected the drain from the water purification system into the drain for the water heater, and that's apparently against code. :facepalm:

So it's all still up in the air. :mad:

Yep...that's a no-no...cannot connect anything to the temperature pressure relief pipe plumbed out of the water heater.

I was pretty shocked, to be shown that many artists now are producing vinyl LP's of their music. Damn smart really, the whole point of vinyl is that experience that digital just doesn't have. And it can't be downloaded. I've never begrudged musical artists their fortunes, and it would be nice if concerts returned to promotional ventures with great prices so they can sell more music. I look at $200+ tickets and just laugh. NEVER going to happen. And it seems the worst ticket price offenders, are bands that play to the very young and very.. urban.

The guy I ordered it from is an audiophile from the '70's. I told him I tossed a Phillips 312 table a year ago, because I couldn't figure out the problem and nobody works on them anymore. He about cried. Then when I told him that I am STILL using 38 year old DCM Time Window 1A's for my primary speakers, he wanted a picture! That was money well spent.

Yeah, except... The Eagles. When I heard what they wanted for a ticket, I nearly fainted... and watched "Hell Freezes Over" on TV, because hell really will freeze over before I'll spend $100+ on a concert ticket. I admit, we did spend about $45 each for Yes tickets, in 2002... but they're one of my favorite bands of ALL TIME, and we had seen them the year before in a very substandard venue (Chastain Park -- surrounded by the abodes of the old and rich, who enforce an 85dB limit on concerts! MORONS!), so when they came the next year and played a great venue, I was determined to see them again -- then, I also ended up WINNING 2 tix from the classic rock radio station. :D So we took our son, then 14, and a good friend of ours, and swapped seats every so often. :D

Well we don't currently have one of those thermal expansion tank thingies, Gwinnett county started enforcing that after this house was built, and the water heater that's in there is apparently that old (since 1987!). The water purification system is just connected into the drain for the water heater. But they're gonna come out and fix that, on Monday. Once the $826 gets credited back to our bank acct, we'll go buy a damn water heater and thermal expansion tank and install it our damn selves; my husband says it's no problem; particularly once the drain problem is sorted, that will make the water heater removal/installation "a piece of cake", he assures me.

I remember seeing Jethro Tull and Queen in Ottawa Canada way back when....tickets were like $35 bucks for GOOD seats....!

Well I was drunk -
The day my mom got out of prison -
And I went to pick her up in the rain -
But by the time I got to the station in my pickup truck -
She got ranned over by the damned old train - David Allan Coe

She went away and left me

Oh She never said a word
And even if she would have told me
I probably never would have heard
Well she once said no other woman honey
could lay up in her bed

No theres cum stains on the pillow
Where she once laid her head
cum stains on the pillow
in the middle of the bed

I know. Who the fuck makes sauerkraut for Thanksgiving? Germans.

My mom's family is Scandinavian, the crap they eat at holidays is flipping GROSS. Yes, Fins love Lutefisk - wrapped in a fish loaf. A must-have at Christmas.

Fish pudding is also very popular for the ramping up days before Christmas, as is tartare - I can't remember what they called it though.

But we also had flaming Glugge (glog) and pannukakku, so it wasn't all bad, lol.

I guess. I know diddly-squat about plumbing, and gas scares the hell outta me -- I'm a bit uncomfortable just looking at a water heater, nevermind TOUCHING it! :D

But considering how old that water heater is... it's really a miracle we've had 5 trouble-free years from it, since we bought the house. :) We had to replace the gas stove in our 2nd yr here, when it started emitting fumes -- similar to what the water heater is doing now, though the water heater isn't quite as bad.

In time the combustion chambers fail, same as a gas furnace, water heaters have an expected life of ten years, the same as the warranty....:)

A trifecta - Spanky might get one of those over-four-hours-better-consult-your-physician type boners.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is “Seek immediate medical help if you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours.”
Under that wording, an escort would be medical help, and thus allowable under a qualified, income offsetting Health Savings Account. Just saying...

Eh, not really a fan of the profession. When they say "I'll do anything you'd like for $500", take it with a grain of salt. They can't roof worth a shit. It may be the heels, but best to ask for a resume.

When you first posted this I couldn't see the pic and thought your "roof" reference was a typo and you meant roofy
