Sin is a point of view.
Which is transitory even in religions.
I spent the first 16 years of my life being indoctrinated into religion.
Things that were a sin then in that religion are no longer a sin somehow.

I view a sin as doing another human wrong.

Well RC, you know my stance on it. So, I'll just leave it. :)

One of the recent arguing posters is a super-dumb fuck I've almost put on ignore, but he stopped posting in my favorite threads luckily so I still see him when he rears his incredibly uninformed head

We are screwed if that's the best we can get unity-wise on fighting back

I put it at 80% that we are royally screwed.

Hope for the best prepare for the worst.
I am set once my FT order comes in. Spare tank parts, drip tips and such.

Might get another gallon of PG and VG for the freezer....

I still gotta get a few more things to feel safe, but could probably survive right now even if my two FT orders got cancelled

Parts - 510 threaded parts are lacking

I struggled with anxiety when I was young. Especially working 2 jobs and going to college. That was rough. As for depression, several years back I had some huge life changing events happen consecutively and found myself not wanting to get out of bed anymore. But, citalopram helped pull me out of it. Don't want to ever go down that road again -- but I've learned coping mechanisms from it. Good thing is, I'm finally back to my nutty silly self. I feel your pain dear Andria. :inlove:
Click to expand...

My last go-round with depression was about 12-14 yrs ago, and it was a real monster -- a meeting of peri-menopausal hormone hell, PTSD from an almost-fire in a mobile home, and then 9/11.... I was completely out of my mind for several years, but Effexor helped immensely, along with switching from cars to pickup trucks so I didn't feel like I was about to be squashed like a bug, just riding down the road (one of my worst anxieties, literal screaming panic attacks everytime I had to go anywhere on a freeway). But I also had some very good therapy, and learned some good coping skills, so when we hit massive financial meltdown about 6 yrs ago, somehow I managed to hold myself together, and we got done everything we needed to, to be able to buy our first home, and pull ourselves out of that financial mess by our freakin bootstraps. And now, finally kicking cigarettes to the curb has done more for my self-esteem than 23 yrs of sobriety and Effexor and all the therapy I've EVER had. If the FDA thinks I'm gonna quit vaping... they have SERIOUSLY got another think coming.

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND KISS MY ASS, FDA!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOURSELVES SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got some shorty 510 decks in the FT order. With a dremel and soldering iron I can replace the 510's in all my regulated mods.
I have 9 mechs.... About 20 RTA's and about 30 clearomizers.
I could also convert my regulateds into Hexohm style VV mods if the chipsets fry in them.

That will be in order #3 I'm planning, lol

Anyone ever get their glass hybrid drip tips? I have one I got free with some juice and want a few more - I really like it on the Boreas but hate to waste $ even if it is just a few bucks

There are Great Horned Owls round here, and also Barred Owls... I think it's one of those.... It's a rising hollering sound, hooHOOHOOHOOHOO HOOOOOOOOOOO! And that last one sounds like it's gargling, but really loud. I checked out owl calls on the DNR website and the one they have for Barred Owls sounds the most like it. But it was one of the Great Horned bastards that was stalking our cat, before we understood the danger and used to let her stay out after dark -- we make sure now to get her in WELL before dusk! (that's why it was so upsetting, that night when she didn't come in till 10:30! I don't want my baby becoming an owl treat!)

Gamo air rifles. Hits like a 22, sounds like a quiet fart. Neighbors or the owl wont know what hit them. Make sure to carry the carcass and put it in the yard of a neighbor ya dont like :D

Careful with that. Killing some owl species is illegal. We had a Great Horned that was crashing through my neighbor's chicken coop every night, and eating chickens and ducks. It wasn't the least bit afraid of us humans. We had to catch it in a blanket and stuff it into a cage. The wildlife officials relocated it.

ETA: another good way to get the two sides communicating is gardening./landscaping -- it's extremely aesthetic, to have it look really great... but it takes a lot of planning, lots of measuring of distances and area and also measuring chemicals for various things -- it's also very hard on the physical body! Excellent treatment for depression, for sure!

I loves you momma. :)

We are not gardening here this year. I enjoy working in the garden. My wife does as well. Her dad though wants a big garden that requires too much upkeep for only one or two people. It ultimately falls to just one or two to work it. Me and wife seem to be the only two. It becomes too much, too quickly.

Glad you made it alright. It's heading my way now. It's already hitting San Antonio and expecting it to hit here in the next couple of hours or so.

I actually didn't mind the weather in MI; it's certainly much colder in the mid-to-north parts of the state, but down around Detroit, it's actually fairly mild, and the summer is so much more pleasant than the hell of ATL summer. I think back to when I was growing up, nobody really had central air then, and my grandmother's furniture would feel *slimey* from the godawful humidity, in July/August. Really glad those days are gone; AC is really necessary in ATL! But I recall the summer that our son was born, we were still in MI, which of course doesn't have much use for central air -- but it was one of those el Nino summers, and we lived on the 2nd floor of an old farmhouse converted to a downstairs and upstairs apts -- just ungodly hot, very unusual for MI. So I bitch about the heat and humidity down here, but as long as you stay indoors, it's perfectly livable. :D And it's nice that the summers run on into late September, and not even any frost until late October. By which time, we are more than ready for a break from the heat!

If you have central air around here, you're either a pussy or have more money than brains to spend on an electric bill. :D
I've spent time in FL, TX and NY during the summer. I don't care for the 90/90 game with heat and humidity. Then again, I'm a native Utahan, and people there have swamp coolers rather than A/C because the RH is so low during the summer.

Yep, and Great Horned Owls are protected as endangered, too -- the GA DNR told us about that. Bastards. "Nevermind your sweet little cat, we gotta protect this gi-normous predator!" IDIOTS!!!

Exactly. And they won't even relocate these, because this is apparently part of their nesting ground -- almost right in the fucking middle of a suburb of a huge fucking city! But there's definitely more than one Great Horned around here.

Up on the north end of this town, we saw a golden eagle. THAT was a terrifying sight; you don't really grasp the size of birds like that when you see them way up in the sky, but let one try to roost on a rickety fence, discover it won't take his weight, and spread out those wings again to take off -- GOOD GOD THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE! But then... so was the 10-pt buck I saw in our front yard. :D I'd seen a lot of deer before, but this... full-grown STAG!
