Bunnahabhain; Sorry for the delayed reply. It is tough to climb back up after being down. For me it all went south after the car wreck in 2004. I was just starting to make a little progress when the economy tanked in 2009 and set me back to square one. Asking for help is not easy for me, but giving up is out of the question. Thank you very much for your generosity, I very much appreciate it.
It really, really rubs me the wrong way to have to ask anyone for help, especially when it comes to money, but I'm in a jam. I lost my home back in 2010 and have been homeless since then. It it weren't for driving a truck for a living I would have no place to sleep at night. I make ok money driving a truck, but not great. Between paying back child support, {I got behind when I was off work for over a year due to a car accident), which is over $210 a week from my paycheck, and
Thanks, Daiwa. lulapilgrim, glad you made it through your ordeal.
Thanks. I guess I'm just living in a holding pattern these days.
I'm currently in a motel room in Buffalo, NY. I delivered some snow removal stuff for a trade show. I arrived in Buffalo on Wednesday and sat in the marshaling yard until Friday evening when I finally got unloaded and then checked into the motel. I'll be hanging out here until Wednesday when I reload and take the stuff back where I got it. Fun, fun. Life has been, well, life. People come, people go. Good people die, bad people live on. These days I'm
My baby brother died of cancer on Saturday. He was a good man.
Sorry I haven't replied before now. Haven't been on much. Thanks. The mod is basically the power supply. An atomizer goes on top of it and is then filled with the eliquid. The atomizer heats the liquid to produce the vapor. The liquid comes in all kinds of flavors, and is far more enjoyable than smoke.
I haven't had a cigarette in months now. I've completely switched to vapor and love it. I feel a lot better, don't cough in the mornings any more, and my breathing is great now. I smoked for over 35 years and was up to 3 packs/day. Today I bought my 8th "mod". It's a monster and I love it. Here's a photo of it between two other mods that are considered to be large. It's a fracking beast. <img src="http://i24.photobuc
My newest eCig mod setup had arrived in the mail and was waiting for me when I got to the office yesterday. It's an eVic vaporizor and a Protank 2 clearomizer. I already had the skull drip tip. The eVic is quite the nice mod, pretty high tech. It has a usb port for charging as well as connecting it to the computer to upload/download data and settings to and from the device as well as upgrading the firmware as updates are released to add features and fix any bugs (of which I haven&
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="2" id="3384011"] One day at a time! Good to hear from you again.[/quote] Thanks. I don't spend a lot of time online these days, but pop in when I can.
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="1" id="3383243"] So far, so good. [/quote] It's been going pretty well. I'm enjoying trying out different flavors of "juice".
I've been trying to quit smoking cigarettes using ecigs instead. Not the ones that look like cigarettes but "mods". Big batteries, put in the flavor of liquid of your choice. I had cut way down but still had been smoking some cigs. I've been in a motel since yesterday afternoon, in a state that doesn't allow smoking in any hotel/motel room while my truck is having some electrical issues repaired. I've just vaped while I have been here. Earlier I walked
Thanks folks. Judy, sorry about your sister.
I've found an effective way to stop smoking cigarettes; vapor. In the past I had tried those "cigalikes", the e cigarettes that look like a real cigarette. I found they really didn't taste all that good, were expensive, and very unreliable. Now I have discovered that there are far better vaping devices out there. Mods. Devices with large capacity batteries, look nothing like a real cigarette, and you can add a huge variety of e liquid aka "juice" flavors to them.
The shoulder is still bothering me a lot, but has eased a bit from what it was before. Can't really say if it's the Osteo-Biflex or the fish oil, but either way it's a little better than it was. Still hurts like hell though. Getting old still sucks.
After my work day ended yesterday I took a nice two mile walk to stretch my legs and enjoy this warm Texas weather. While walking I found a five dollar bill in the grass beside the road. I got the benefits of the exercise plus put an extra five bucks in my pocket. :D
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="5" id="3340713"] Quoting Daiwa, reply 1Hope it helps - it does for many. I appreciate the information! My wife is on glucosamine. I am not crazy about the mega doses of Ibuprofen because of the potential side effects.[/quote] Yeah, taking a lot of ibuprofen over a period of time is not a good thing, that's why I am trying alternatives. I read recently that a combination of fish oil and krill oil really helps the joints, I pla
[quote who="73judy" reply="3" id="3337966"] Mason, that does not sound good at all. Do you put any heat on it at night? What does your DOCTOR say? You could call or e-mail their office. Maybe warmer weather will help. Could you get a swim in at a gym on the down time. Will be sending good thoughts your way. Hope you find your Easter basket. [/quote] Thanks, Judy. I'm due to see my doctor in July. If it's still bothering me
Well I hope it works better than ibuprofen because that doesn't help my shoulder worth a damn.
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="44" id="3327229"] The problem with the presentation - and most of the comments seem to ignore this - is that it assumes a static pie. So all of a sudden, someone is getting a bigger slice of the pie. And that is the way liberals want you to view it - the more someone gets, the less you get. But our "wealth" (as a nation) is not the same as it was in 1983. There is a lot more of it. So the "poor" are rich be even the standards
My right shoulder has really been giving me a lot of shit lately. As in the past three months or so. Hurts like hell. I'm assuming it's arthritis. Yesterday I decided to give Osteo Bi-flex a try. It may be snake oil, it may work. I guess I'll find out, but I needed to do something. I can't even shift gears in my truck without pain, never mind all of the chaining and strapping I do as a regular part of my job. Getting old sucks.
I'm looking forward to the evaluation release of Blue coming out. I'm running Windows 8 on one of my laptops (Linux on the other two) and have liked it so much I bought a Surface RT and a Nokia Windows Phone 8. I very much like the direction I see Windows going and look forward to seeing it evolve into something even better over the next few years. The biggest hurdle I see for Windows now is the people who simply do not like change. They want something new, but they want it
LOL, yeah I shaved it when we set the clocks forward.
The MX media player for Android plays a lot of different formats. That's the one I use on my Nexus 7. I agree about Handbrake making it a non-issue though, that's what I use as well.
I love the fact that my office can email my over-size permits and other documents and with just a couple of screen taps can wirelessly print them out right in my truck. Never could get that to work with my iPad or any of my Android tablets.
