Went all night long last night. So far tonight, they are south of us and north of us and I am projecting a shield wall (mental image) to divert them around us. This shit is just way too stressful (if I owned a cigarette, I'd probably smoke it - somehow sucking on this vape binkie just don't cut it for high stress situations... Sigh...).
Have you given any thought to something vape wise with a little more oooomph just for times like these?

Wifey has a couple hundred flavors (Lannie is a very good mixologist) and we have lots of e-juices in various nic strengths - mostly low nic now that we have been vaping for over five years. I just make silly comments like the one above becaise some part of my ancient brain seems to remember a tension let-off when sucking a butt deeply. Oh well...

Nope I totally get that. I have had a few bad months myself and sure the thought crossed my mind. I went and made up some nice strong menthol/tobacco vape and did some MTL vaping and that helped some. :) I just have to tell myself, "Okay, this isn't going to last forever and I will get to the other side" Whatever helps, I try it.

I made myself some rather strong tobacco juice (not menthol) that tastes kind of like Camels, but I haven't puffed it for a couple months. I think my tongue just said that wasn't good enough anymore. Right at the moment, I am getting my best satisfaction out of a combination of Harvest Berry and Smarty Pants.

Dear Texas,

Please stop sending us your warm moist Gulf air. Our temperature today hit 96 °F and at one point I noted our relative humidity was 78%, which makes the heat index ("feels like" -- equivalent to) 136 °F. We got no work done today other than the absolutely mandatory livestock feeding morning and evening.

Regards,
South Dakota

I spent the week in Rockport TX which is on the Gulf near Corpus Christi. 90+ temp and 90+ humidity. Get out of the car, glasses fog up. Leave the hotel or restaurant, glasses fog up. Definitely not someplace I'd want to live.

Closest I ever got to that in Texas was a business trip to Clute (south of Houston on the coast) and it was pretty sticky, but not nearly as bad as Oahu. Phew!

FDA Reiterates Warning About Dangerous Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol, Takes Additional Action to Address Concerning Products

July 27, 2020 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration continues to warn consumers and health care professionals not to use certain alcohol-based hand sanitizers due to the dangerous presence of methanol, or wood alcohol – a substance often used to create fuel and antifreeze that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin as well as life-threatening when ingested.

They all seem to be coming from different factories in Mexico:

Just out of curiosity, other than Woofie's occasional posts, is this thread dying? Seems none of us have anything to BS about anymore. I hope that is just because everyone is too hot or too busy and not because one of us pissed everyone else off.

Sigh...

Since, no one is allowed to talk about/post memes about politics...How come the one who created this thread hasn't come back :huh: ?
How do you not talk about politics when Vaping is about to go under. Remember that... "I Vape I Vote!" But, how do you talk about it when there is a ban on politics :huh: :confused: :question:
Remember the politicians (particularly the ones who will ban all Vaping... ie...the one who is/was hiding in the basement )
Sorry, this really doesn't answer your question. But, this has been on my mind.

A thought to remember: Marx said, "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class.

One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter.

The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.

In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question.

He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.

The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food.

"When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.

"They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.

"The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths:

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to share this with your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably not share this, and that won't make a differencve because you are already lost to freedom.

God help us all when the gate slams shut!


Quote for today:
"The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered."

P.S. If I get banned for this post. it won't matter because I left ECF because they practice the above pig restrictions. If this forum chooses to do the same and we have no right to express our feelings/beliefs, then it isn't worth being here either.

Gave up on the thread when it became political. there were plenty of other threads to discuss politics in.
Debated having thread closed but decided to let others play in it since I had no more interest one way or the other.

been keeping a loose eye on the thread, just felt no need to post.

have fun.

Very good ! It would be great if everyone would take heed of this.

Where is @inspects anyway? I know I don't say much, but I do miss you and Inspects chatting.

I've been busy traveling for work. Flying back and forth to Idaho where I'm surveying power poles for placing my companies equipment for remote reading of electric meters. By the time I get back to my hotel, I just want to eat and sleep. Plus, I'm not a "chatty" type so that's why I'm not around much.

Yesterday, went to the dentist to get a cleaning. Of course masks are required to enter and to get 'serviced' . But, when I entered the building one of the dental assistance came up to me with something in her hand and was going straight for my head. WTH ! I just about knocked it out of her hand ! Someone walking up to me like that is just instinct to protect myself. Well, I didn't react in knocking it out of her hand and just stepped back a few. Than, she informs me as to what was in her hand. It was a temp reader. Now, why wouldn't she of said that before or better yet ASK for my permission to take my temp ! First, I'm not use to wearing a mask and it really bothers me...hard to breathe and yuck to breathe back in your own air :blech:
Second, if I was damn sick... Would I be there in the first place... HELL NO ! I'm smarter than an average idiot. :gaah: Then, I had to answer four or five stupid questions... Have you been out of country... NO... Are you coughing, sneezing blah blah blah... NO... of course I cough and sneeze, but not from cv 19.... Are you running a temp... NO, you ALREADY took my temp so you know I'm not... Have you been around anyone that has cv 19... NO.... Have you been hospitalized for cv 19.... NO. AGAIN, if I were sick, I would NOT be here.......:cuss2:
Every where you walk into people act like you're a zombie wanting to eat their brains. Am I over dramatic... I don't know, but I do know... I am tired of all this :xD:
What made my day.... was being with my mom and nephew. Also, we found a pizza place that didn't require a mask and we could eat inside...anywhere that don't require a mask, I'm more than happy to support and spend my money there.
Some will say... I'm a covididiot...so be it, I guess I am.

Luckily, when I need a cleaning, I just take my teeth out and scrub them in the sink. :D
Seriously, I will not patronize any establishment that forces this stupid-ass mask requirement (none of which are capable of stopping a virus). Walmart says ya gotta, but that's only to get in the door. I pulled my scraf down after I got inside and no one harrassed me about it. This is all one giant socialist con-game to exert control over the stupid masses. The "real" numbers show that not only is the not a pandemic, it is not even an epidemic.

Good evening, Draco :wave:
Those temps with humidity is ridiculous. It's made it up to upper 90s several times, but with humidity, yeah right up into the hundreds...so very miserable. When you look out the window and see the birds and squirrels have their mouths open to breathe...you know it's crazy hot out.
The fortunate thing is, it hasn't hit 100s as high temp here. But, still have to make it through September, though. Hopefully, it will cool down up there, but not too cool. You two need a temp and humidity break, hope it happens soon !
Good night and Sweet Dreams, Draco and to all the Old Pharts, Young Pharts, and all the in between Pharts :) :teehee:
