BINGO Nana ! I swear you and I think SO much alike its scary. GREAT point about the White House. Forgot all about all the arguments I had when Slick Willie was in office. Funny how back then, I remember SO many people saying " Why make such a big deal about it, that was private ". My whole argument with them was, yeah, it was a private thing in a PUBLIC house, MY house. And, for me, it wasnt so much about what he did with Lewinsky ( although I in NO way condoned it ), what boiled my blood was that he LIED UNDER OATH! He broke the friggin law. Like Nixon said about Watergate, it was "WORSE than a crime, it was a blunder". What he DID with Lewinsky was NOT a crime, nor was it impeachable. It only broke moral laws as we know them. What he did in front of a grand jury under oath WAS a crime, and he fully transformed into a sleezebag by trying to define what the word "is", is. I actually felt sorry for Hillary back then. Like I feel sorry for Tigers wife now. And in this case, I even feel sorry for Tiger, niether one of them deserve this.

I am a Beatle fanatic. Well, also a music fanatic. But seriously, I could probably write a book on them, although I think there are already WAY too many already. I dont go to conventions or anything, but I LOVE them. I DO collect music memorabilia. I have 6 autographed Elton John albums and 2 personal checks from Bernie Taupin ( Eltons lyricist ). I HAD an autographed Joe Walsh Stratocaster, that I recently sold due to my financial debacle. It hurt to let that go. ANYWHO, back on topic , Atty was a man who thought he was a cartridge, but he knew he was a batt. Atty thought he looked a lot like Danny Partridge, even tho his bridge was flat Get Atts, Get Atts, get Attys on your VP3......

I hear ya Gazoo. There are SO many gaffes by this Administration, its overwhelming. Now, this school supply thing, I dont attribute that to Obama. That was done by some other self serving moron. BUT, I just read another article where the White House social secretary actually considered having a non-religous Christmas decoration of the White House, so as not to "offend" any one religion. WHAT ! Thank GOD ( emphasis on GOD ), the idea was squashed. Then theres the picture of Obama BOWING before the Japanese Prime Minister, or Emperor, or whoever. MY PRESIDENT BOWS BEFORE NO NONE ! ESPECIALLY before a foreign dignetary of a country we soundly defeated after they MURDERED thousands of Americans in a war of agression. And WHY arent all of his followers raging out against HIM for sending troops to Afghanistan ? I support THAT decision, but it seems like theres a double standard going on here with the Nobel prize winner. Ironically, this man of Hope offers very little to me. And the WORST part of it all is the chain of succession should anything happen to him ( god forbid, and I MEAN that ). Behind him is Joe "The Plagurer (sic)" Biden, and Princess Nancy Pelosi. oh yeah, then theres his head of the IRS, who didnt pay HIS taxes, along with a handful of other members of the admin. It just goes on and on. Yup, scares me too Gazoo.

Ok, Im not a fan of Golf by any stretch of the imagination. Frankly, it bores me to tears to watch it on T.V., I would rather watch a rerun of Nigella Bites for some quality action programming. And as for playing golf, well, Im a lefty who could NEVER find a set of clubs to borrow, and I wasnt about to blow some money on a sport Im not even sure I would like. Im a baseball fanatic. Love my Mets, or Mutts, depending on the year. ANYWAY, unless you live under a rock buried deep down below the earths mantle, Im sure youve heard about Tiger Woods and his media frenzy concerning his, well, uh, current situation. Im curious what you guys think about it. Of course, I get to inject my personal opinion here first, because, well I started this. First, having said my feelings on the sport, I believe Tiger Woods is one of the last best hopes the sports world has in true, genuine, positive role models for young children. And yes, they ARE role models. When I was a wee lad of 9 or 10, Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman were my idols, my heroes, my inspiration. Seaver was, well, he was Tom Seaver, c'mon. And Koos was a left handed pitcher who I could relate to when I threw a ball. My point is, these guys in the sports world did, and DO have a responsibility as role models, wether they signed up for that or not. That argument, I believe, should NOT be part of the equasion. Tom Seaver was a role model who never made more than a million dollars a year. These guys today make a million dollars a minute. Being a role model, at the very least making an ATTEMPT to be a role model , is a small price to pay for the amount of cha-ching that WE , the fans, pay them. I wish there was a way to weed out some of these creeps who are in it solely for the money, because I know a few guys in Brooklyn who would JUMP at the opportunity to play the game , with heart, for the love of the sport. And at a FRACTION of what some of these guys make. Im sorry, but not even Joe Dimaggio was worth a 95 million dollar contract. Ok, back to the topic. All that being said, heres MY point. If Tiger Woods had used his wood inappropriatly, ON the back 9, behind his caddys back, then I say put it on EVERY front page, website, and milk carton in the world. That tarnishes the sport, as well as the man. BUT, this is a personal issue, that does NOT belong in the media. This is between Mr and Mrs Woods. Tiger has already been tried and found guilty by the media, and now doesnt stand a CHANCE with his wife. I'll play the devils advocate here, IF Tiger is innocent and has NOT been unfaithful to her, there is NO way that women can walk into ANY store without seeing it plastered on every tabloid, she cant change a channel without seeing the sound bites, she cant HELP but think the man is a low rent scum sucking ameoba. On the other side of the coin, lets say he DID commit adultery. Who cares. Why should we care. Its between them. All the media has done is taken a MASTER, a GIANT in the arena, and driven him to his knees. The man can no longer put a ball in the ball washer without THIS becoming the topic of the announcers. In my opinion, this is sad, and wrong. What do you guys think ?

Okay, this REALLY troubles me. A school supply company has shipped items with the Obama campaign slogan, and logo to schools - here is the link to the pic http://www.columbiatribune.com/photos/2009/dec/03/8502/ The link to the story doesnt work, but its on Fox news front page Now, this has NOTHING to do with wether or not I like, or dislike Barack Obama. He won the election, he is our President, enough said. But this is WRONG, on too many levels. This is brainwashing, plain and simple, of our children. This is what Mao did. And Stalin. Its what the North Koreans do. Its what Ho Chi Mihn did. Honestly, I do not for one second think Obama had anything to do with it. It was done, intentionally I might add, by RADICALS who are hell-bent on force feeding thier political beliefs into the minds of our VERY impressionable children. This DOES NOT belong in our schools, and those who did this should be held accountable, in my opinion. It is THESE types of things that scare me about the direction our country is headed towards. This would irk me if it was Reagan, Bush, Carter, or Clinton. Just my humble opinion, and I HAD to vent this one, it actually raised my blood pressure. What do you guys think.

Hi Guys. FINALLY, Mt Versuvius blew, and Holly has come home ! I thank the sweet Lord that she wont read this, cause my opening sentence would SURELY merit a thunderous rap across the back O' my head. She is still not out of the woods, but forward progress is forthcoming. Everyone at VaporTalk, thank you, thank you, thank you ALL from the bottom of our hearts for all the warm wishes and prayers for her speedy recovery. Only God knows if THATS why she is better, but I know they helped me and made my stress a lot easier. Its a testament to how wonderful a world VaporTalk has created, and i am proud, humbled and honored to be a part of it and have you guys as friends. Now, I know I havent been on here all day, but Im a gonna go snuggle with my bride, ( not too tight ), and Ill be here tomorrow. ( Maybe later when she zonks out ). Thanks again guys, Love to you all !!!!!

I was a chain smoker, 3-4 plus packs a day. I dont know WHAT to call my vaping, mass vaping, gatling gun vaping, warp 3 Mr. Sulu vaping, I dont know. I have it in my head that I did something that was healthy for me, and to boot tastes DELICIOUS, so Im a gonna go full goose bonzo doing it.

555 WAS my fav, untill I tried traditional Tobacco, now known as Keenans private Stock ! i asked Chris to start selling it by the keg.

He got them while he was IN jail, thats what pushes my buttons the most !

LOL ! Been there , done that, got the tee shirt ! really not sure on the backflow, but seems logical that there would be. Me, personally, I dont do acleaning ritual every couple of days. Im a FIRM believer in " if it aint broke, dont fix it ". And its worked out well for me. Getting juice on your lips every now and then is just the small price you pay for direct dripping. You would have to CHUG a bottle of juice to even remotely cause harm. So - dont chug, and just keep a towel handy, is my motto. Actually, I wish I COULD chug the Dulcis, it tastes kinda good !

I cant stop my jaw from dropping to the floor on this one. I'm numb. I'm, I'm, .... read for yourself - http://www.theledger.com/article/20091205/NEWS/912065042/1374

OK, Im from Queens, used to hang out in Brooklyn, dated a girl from 110th street, and THAT just made me spit iced tea thru my nose !!!!!! HILARIOUS !! Thanks Brian !

You go Travis !! LOL, get me dem dere atts dere !

Id be willing to overlook the Yak, as long as the Buffalo was born in a Citgo gas station during the winter solstice, with Pisces Virgo rising. .... Oh yeah, and if his name was Pookie Bear

OK, heres my idea for qualification to enter the Private forum. Must have- At least 17,000 posts of 3 paragraphs or more. each post MUST have the word " abstemious " in it at least three times Member must have travelled to Gadansk, on a yak, in the month of february Member must have, on at least one occasion, passed milk through his or her nose Above qualifications can be overlooked if member buys a Spade for all other Private Forum members. Just a thought guys, whaddya think ?

I get that all the time Sin. Its a curse, really.

I dont know why, but this kind of stuff intrigues me. if you've seen this before, sorry. This information was in The New York Times several weeks ago as part of their "Spotlight on the Home" series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways to solve common problems. 1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. 2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours. 3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance. 4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area. 5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!! 6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!! 7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation. 8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water. 9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone! 10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been known to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams. 11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath. 12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless > steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean. 13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!

Chris sprinkles "Pixie Dust" on us. Theres a difference, Fairies arent real.

LOL! Yup, my daughters 23 and Im still putty in her hands compared to my boys. An old Irish Proverb - " My son is my son 'till he takes him a wife, but my daughter's my little girl all of her life "

ROFLMAO ! The guy playing the turkey should get the Oscar !

Cute as a button Green ! Thank goodness she doesnt look like Dad. You must get a lot of remarks with that spooky smiley face of yours ! Merry Christmas Bro

Welcome Links, and I was born and raised in Queens. Kissena Blvd !. As for the atomizer, you may be experiencing the "break in" period, usually a day or two, depending on how much you vape. Also, these attys are shipped with a small amount of "juice" on them to prevent people from firing up right away and burning them out. That may be affecting it, and this too should go away with time. Otherwise, I would recommend you call Arno, as Im sure he would be happy to resolve any problem you have. Good luck, and keep us posted ! P.S., Im going to move this to the noobie questions thread.

Hi Deko, welcome to the forum ! Well, I went to freshsmoking.com and took a gander. Now, I am NOT the expert here, so take my opinion for what its worth. But, I do know this, All e cigs are made in China, shipped to the U.S., where suppliers are able to brand them with thier own name for re sale. So, while you might purchase a "Emporer" from one supplier, another one may call the SAME e cig the " Pharoe". From what I saw on the website, these are common e cigs with different names applied to them. The prices look very reasonable, and if you are happy with your last purchase, I wouldnt hesitate to keep them as a supplier. As for the different models, again Im no expert. I have a 510, and thats it. You might try researching other sites to find the different names for the penstyle you are looking for, or just hang around here, Im sure Chris will come on and explain this much better than I can. Good Luck and see you around the forums ! Moving topic to Noobie Area

DANG, I missed it !
