@mjag Iā€™m just waiting for my painters respirator mask to come in with the 50 extra N95 filtersā€¦ They arenā€™t disposable like the paper face masks.

I really would have thought people would be on here tonight.
Itā€™s wild to see it so empty.

Iā€™m having a lot of personal issues right now in my life. Iā€™ve been trying to engage in the forums to get my mind off some horrible things that have piled on me over the past week. This disease is devastating to people who have immune deficiencies.

Also. Medication seems to be an issue yesterday with the stress Iā€™ve been under lately. I have been following the instructions of my Drā€¦ Iā€™ve been accidentally calling my friends ā€œcounselorsā€. Itā€™s easier for me to say that then ā€œsupport (whateverā€™s)ā€.

This disease is a real monster. people who donā€™t keep their hands washed, use hand sanitizer, and if you are sneezing, cover your face, or tie your handkerchief across your face, realize you could cause death to someone who has a weakened immune system.

I donā€™t want to discuss specific personal issues. It hurts to much. I have made quite a few mistakes lately in the forums. Iā€™m going to do my best to make sure Iā€™m not messing up. If people want me to leave the forums, let me know?

The forums allow me to put my energies into something and avoid continually thinking about the painful things. I can focus on the topics presented, try to have a laugh or 2 but mostly, lose myself and not getting stuck in a painful mental loop.

Thanks if you read this. If you didnā€™t read it, go back and read it from the beginning again lol.

Thanks Gang.

P.S. Iā€™m still learning what a PM looks like vs. the regular forums. I accidentally posted private info to a place that was public. I wonā€™t make that mistake again.

To those Iā€™ve made angryā€¦ All I can say is I seem to be doing a good job at it arenā€™t I !!! and just think, Itā€™s subconscious. Iā€™m not trying to do it on purpose. HONEST!!!

If you want to focus on the enjoyment and the DIY mixing, perhaps consider limiting yourself to interaction about mixing, and maybe general fellowship. Stay out of the virus and political stuff, since that seems to be giving you the most heartburn. Some may be a bit perplexed by some things you post, but no one wants you to leave the forum.

Thank you.
Right now, Iā€™m waiting for all these mixes to age. I tend to have problems expressing my views in the political forums because mine are complex and I donā€™t like pointing fingers. I have a, ā€œweā€™re here now, not thereā€ mentality. Also regarding political things, I need to stop following the tone of what people are posting and make sure Iā€™m in the right thread. Iā€™m not going to be posting so much or so lengthy. I may have questions from comments Iā€™d like cleared up.

Thank you. I need to pull back and not try to submerge myself into the platform as much.

It was a bad night with some bad medication. I havenā€™t taken that this morning and called the Docā€¦ Imagine my surprise when I was told not to take anymoreā€¦

People really need to stop trying to spread family information of FBā€¦

Can you cut and paste inside a post before posting it?

I can (not so clearly) remember a decade or 2 ago where Iā€™d pay big money (for me at the time at least) for ā€˜medsā€™ that messed with my vision. If you take those, there are more fun things to do than trying to make sense of a forum :wink:

People donā€™t always agree on stuff but the forum is better with you onboard. So donā€™t even think about leavingā€¦

For a lot of people this place is a past time I guess. I never thought Iā€™d enjoy the people so much. I didnā€™t do forums because I didnā€™t like the ones I used to see. The people here are witty. Theyā€™re funny. They can discus things like adults and not start tossing childhood things.

When I started, I looked around simply because I had no idea what tho do with juices. I started looking forward to getting on the forum because of the people. I enjoyed the viewpoints. Even though I donā€™t know names, I got to respect people and what they had to say. @Pro_Vapes , @anon70102222, @fidalgo_vapes, @mjag , @anon84779643, @SmilingOgre, @Deerslayer, @BoDarc, Dan_the_Man, bede1, smok, Mix_and_Hope, Sevencasper, Sprkslfly and so many more.

I have enjoyed conversations with all of you. So this is just a partial list of people I consider friends even though Iā€™ve never met them. Deciding how the points they make show how great everyone here is makes me look forward to coming to the forums.

Lastly how they care when someone needs help. Being in the forums, I get to be around my friends. Their opinions matter to me.

So if itā€™s ok with all of you, Iā€™m going to stay because this is my fun place. The place to come to chat with my friends.

@anon28032772, It was a sad and bad last day of a sh@tty week. Lives lost, Medications that made me sick, My child getting married without an inviteā€¦ and I really canā€™t remember the rest. I just started blocking it out after a while.

I get to enjoy everyoneā€™s company here. At the end of the day, itā€™s the place I can come to recharge.
