    just broke up with someone i still love

    This is actually pretty sound advice. While personally I would recommend NOT throwing that stuff away quite yet (especially as you use a lot of it daily), boxing all of the pictures, mementos, letters, and other small reminders and hiding them will be a great help. Unfriending on FB/whatever...

    just broke up with someone i still love

    There's some great advice here already. Few years back I went through nearly the same thing, and actually moved 12 hours away for the summer just so I didn't have to see the ex anywhere about town...good and bad thing to do, as it was just running away from the issue - dealing with still loving...

    My hometown, destroyed. Boo.

    Yeah, it sounds pretty crazy there. I've caught up with most of my friends there and sounds like it's pretty hectic...but they're all safe. Funny thing is that I've realized I'd left some random things behind when I moved a couple weeks back. Don't think I'll have to go get them now. Heh. :P

    My hometown, destroyed. Boo.

    http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/flooding-20110627.html Wow. I'm really glad I got out when I did. It's going to be really interesting how the economy recovers from this. Ward County was one of the least-economically stressed counties in the US, with the Bakken Oil field so close. The...

    Anyone else addicted to facebook.

    I started on FB when it was just for colleges and universities...was a great way to keep in touch with friends that moved away. Little by little I've used it less and less, but when the flood hit Minot, it turned into a GREAT way to keep informed, without having to be glued to a TV. Woke up on...

    http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=bis&gage=mion8&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1%22 :( :( :( :( :( :( Hard to concentrate on the new job when all of my friends are losing everything. Minot will be a completely different city.

    My hometown, destroyed. Boo.

    Surreal as fuck. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/23/us/23flood.html?ref=us Pretty surreal reading about my small hometown on the big media. I moved two weeks ago. It was a bit hairy getting out of Minot, as on June 2nd, the city called for a mandatory evacuation of about 1/3rd of the city...or...

    Dutch Government to Ban Tourists From Cannabis Shops

    Yeah, it's a bit strange...definitely a policy I don't see staying around for a long time. In the end, they'll see the $$$ moving other places (like the aforementioned Vancouver) and they'll switch back. I'm kind of dumbfounded by this, though. Wouldn't this be akin to having bars and offsale...

    Discontinued MagickWand Vaporizer

    Alright, after a bit of a snafu (received a broken MW in the mail -emailed HiPi about it and he arranged an exchange) I've given the MW a good two week trial phase. Overall remarks echo what's already been said. In short, it's a great value vape, even if purchased without the FC/VIP deal (which...

    Vaporizers in Amsterdam

    http://fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=2 - last few pages has/had a few reviews on the coil bat. The original VG is the only lighter based vape I've personally used, but I've read up on the Glass VG/Vaporstar/Supreme. I really enjoy the VG. It has probably one of the steepest learning...

    What was your first experience with vaping?

    Yeah, I laughed at that as well. :D I'm totally using that next time I'm trying to convert a friend, lo. :ko: I'm kind of surprised (and happy) to see how many of us started with home-made contraptions...interesting!

    Vaporizers in Amsterdam

    What about picking up a Coil VG just for the trip? An extra $40 doesn't hurt the pocketbook too much (in regards to a transatlantic flight+hotel) and you wouldn't have to fret about it that much if you decide you need to ditch it before the flight back. Although, with the coil, it's completely...

    What was your first experience with vaping?

    I was fairly lucky with my first vape experiences. A friend had brought his digi 'cano home from college one winter break, and we hit that (along with some other treats he carried with ;) ). I loved the difference between vaping and combusting, but could never really justify spending $400+ on...

    EDIT: HiPi contacted me, and he's addressing my concerns. Mods, feel free to remove this.

    Discontinued MagickWand Vaporizer

    Meh, I don't really mind...consolidating the vapes I own has been a goal of mine for some time now. This one will just fill the place of the Hakko SSV and DBV. Just sent him a note pertaining to ship out time now that he's moving through beta processes. Still, I've got that excitement that only...

    Discontinued MagickWand Vaporizer

    Great pic, PoopMachine - love the lighting. Just pulled the trigger on this. It's a bummer to miss the FC-special, but I just figure I'll sell my DIY "Hakko" SSV to a buddy of mine, and pare down to the PD, MFLB, and this little beauty. Review to come! -w-

    Discontinued MagickWand Vaporizer

    Aww man, take a bit of a respite from FC for a few months and see what happens? I miss out on VIP deals on neat new things like this. However, I think I might take the plunge on this anyway. I pretty much only vape out of my PD through either my 100 Ehle or my nice new inline my roomie got for...

    Oh man, stereo purchase overload!

    You'll have a blast with that Pro-ject. Love those puppies. Wouldn't have sold mine, but I got a sweet deal on an older direct drive Denon (which I then replaced the tonearm and cart). I think the biggest difference-maker you'll hear now (after upgrading the phono-pre) will be the cart. Waaaaay...

    To my friends in California... Prop19 Discussion

    /agree. Just a pretty awful election all around the country for MMJ reform, but there are some bright points, at least in how close the individual results were. This was a "red" election cycle to be sure, but the fact remains that polls are getting much closer every time, and it is purely a...
