I'm thinking about trying them too. I'm confused as to how they work also. Even after my local cigarette vendor showed me one. I know they are heavy, and it's a vapor with nicotine without the smoke. You can get them in differnt strengths and flavors. But how you fill and recharge them is confusing to me. My local vendor said he is supposed to be getting some sample disposable ones for about 10 bucks apiece that you can use about 3 times. So I'm going to wait until he gets those in before I spend 55-60 bucks on the package. Though that is supposed to last about as long as a carton, and that is just what a carton costs.

Oh I didn't know thier eyes were not open yet. I'm wondering at what week they start going on solid food. I kind of remember visiting little Nico at the breeders when the litter was 4 weeks old and bottle feeding her on my lap, but at some point I think the litter started eating some kind of mush, then by the time I took her home at 8 weeks she was completely on Eukanuba solid puppy food. I checked out the breeders website of these labs and you can tell they are really good breeders. Whoever buys these labs are getting top quality.

Thanks Twinky. When the time comes though, I know we'll see our loved furry friends in heaven again though! And we'll all be young and running around with each other! :)

I have to say, I can't tell you how much this cam is blessing me. :) My Nico is pretty much in the last stages of her life (her spine is going) And this cam just reminds me that there is new life out there to enjoy. New lives to be loved and cared for. Right now (5:45am) I see all the little pups sleeping, and mama is nowhere in sight. She's probably taking a much needed break from her pups! LOL! In a few weeks mama will probably start pushing her pups away saying "enough already!" I remember Nico's mama actually sat on one of her pups and broke her back! :o Editing at 8:15am: I see mama is back. Only a couple of the little goblins are feeding now. Poor mama! What a job! This cam will be a lot more interesting in a couple of weeks when the pups are more mobile and their personalities (sp?) are showing more.

Ron you nut. :) :) :) If Jesus himself was running around, I'd STILL hide! :o

I'm hiding in my room right now. Jehovah's in the neighborhood knocking on doors. I'm hiding out until they are gone. Their van is parked right in front of my house. Two women went one way, Two men the other. I have to say the fashion statement of the women remind me of 1943. I don't want to be mean to them but I just don't want to deal with them. Nico, my 142 pound rottweiler, the big dork...went to the door and furiously started....wiggling her little stubble. She loves company. Great help there grrrl. Thanks! <_<

Hi geisha! I did not know you were from that area. I guess what surprises me the most is all the horrible "bully" incidents that I am hearing about now, because of this story. There is even a term called bullycide. I know that people are quick to say it would be different if it were thier kids, and I'm no better. Because I guess if I had a kid that confided in me they were being tortured every day, I would like to think that I would just pull them out until the situation got sorted out. Or I switched them to another school or home schooled them or whatever. I don't know. Maybe I'm just blowing a lot of hot air. But school is such a different world from the "real world" And you know what, it goes the other way too. Some of these kids that were so popular in high school, or junior high or whatever, never get that kind of glory again in the real world. I'm glad this girls death is getting so much attention, and I'm glad these kids responsible are facing criminal charges. Even if they are acquitted, they know now what it feels like to be harassed and ostracized, just like what they were doing. I would hope the best punishment these kids could have is growing up and getting a conscience one day. Realizing just what they did. I'm also glad the school staff is getting criticized too. There is enough blame for everybody, I fear. But you know what? And it really pains me to have to say this. But I wonder how many of the people (myself included)who are jumping on the bandwagon of pointing fingers of blame at everybody, would have done anything different. And I wonder if after everything quiets down, and the next tragedy strikes and the attention goes away, if things will just go back to the way it was. Until the next time it happens. :( :(

Well, I smoke. I'm insured. Yes..........virginia I'm an addict. I don't think anyone is going to "catch" lung disease walking into my office. Illinois has made it illegal since..what? January 2009? I STILL smoke in my office, and so far, nobody has called the cigarette police on me. To be honest, the reason I go to my support group on Friday nights, is NOT to curb my smoking, it's to curb my damn problems. One day I may get to the point where I can quit. Until then, there are plenty of other problems I have to take care of, smoking is at the bottom of my list...for now. edited because I can't spell Illinois.

Ronald makes kids FAT! Well, Ronald McDonald is being pressured to retire. The food nazi's strike again. You think your safe because you don't smoke? ha ha ha...this is just the beginging. :)

Well Rejoice, you took the words right out of my mouth. It is, after all, a LEGAL product. If smokers are targeted, there are so many other groups as well. Drinkers, sun tanners, etc, etc, Besides, insurance already raises the fee for smokers as is. I hate smoking, I really do. It's a nasty habit I wish I never picked up. But if I were in the position of having to find another job, I just wouldn't bother with a place that didn't hire smokers. No loss to me. Any job that is that controlling over your personal life is not one I would want to be a part of. Back in my temping days (boy am I glad those days are over) I've had assignments at a lot of these controlling places and I know what these control-freak places are like. I couldn't wait to get the hell out of some of them, and was grateful when the "assignment" was over. They were usually extremely anal jerks, who usually based their own worth on "not being as bad as somebody else." Or I should say as what they perceived of as being bad. And believe me, people can get very self-righteous when it comes to smokers. Not people I would even want to associate with at all. I thought I saw the height of hypocrisy when I just happened to be skimming job ads a few years back, before I started my present job, and saw a Harley Shop advertising for workers, (it was some corporate office I think) and had a very strong anti-smoking policy. Who are they kidding? Trying to pretend Harley customers are wholesome, Disney World characters?

I have to go to work, and I have a couple of errands to run, but I will PM you later, if I can remember how to do it. It's been awhile since I've done that!

Amen to what you said. I haven't been to an offshoot for about 10 years now, but I still remember one woman who told me, shortly before I left, "Oh we should go out witnessing some time!" I couldn't believe it. I was way past that and there was no way in hell I was going to do that. I just told her flat out I didn't do that. She said, "oh but God will tell you who to go up to!" Yeah right. I just told her that wasn't the way God and me worked together. I was afraid to go out with her anywhere cause sometimes she would open her mouth to anybody, a store clerk, and start with her "witnessing." Really putting people on the spot and embarrassing the hell out of me. I go to a church group now, on Friday nights, it's a support group, and it draws people from all over the place for whatever your problem is. And EVERYbody has problems. Half of the people that come for the support groups do not attend the church. I have NEVER been pressured to come for a regular service, though if I did I know I would be warmly welcomed. That is what a real church is about. Christian outreach without the pressure. Just for giggles, I looked up the local offshoot's website, to see what they were up to. Typical crap. "Upcoming Events" Class being held on this date. Class being held on this other date...and so on and so on. Then I looked up this church that I go to with the support group. There website read something like. "Come join us for our support grup which meets Friday nights, just show up!" Be a neighbor program, do you know somebody or do you need food/clothing/supplies etc. We have a store room full of things that we would love to bless you with if you need them. Softball team sign-ups, barbecues, etc. I mean, a real community. The Wayfers and their offshots are sorely lacking in this area, which is why they will continue to stay stagnant in their growth. Well, thanks for letting me ramble! :)

Sean Mulveyhill, 17, of South Hadley. Charged with statutory rape, violation of civil rights resulting in bodily injury, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly. A woman who answered the phone at his home Monday would not identify herself and told The Associated Press, "You don't know the full story." _ Kayla Narey, 17, of South Hadley. Charged with violation of civil rights resulting in bodily injury, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly. A message left at a number listed to a Narey family was not immediately returned; another line was out of service. _ Austin Renaud, 18, of Springfield. Charged with statutory rape. A telephone number could not immediately be found. _ Ashley Longe, 16, of South Hadley. Charged as a youthful offender with violation of civil rights resulting in bodily injury. A telephone number could not immediately be found. _ Sharon Chanon Velazquez, 16, of South Hadley. Charged as a youthful offender with stalking and violation of civil rights resulting in bodily injury. There was no telephone listing. _ Flannery Mullins, 16, of South Hadley. Charged as a youthful offender with stalking and violation of civil rights resulting in bodily injury. A message left at a Mullins home was not immediately returned. Three 16-year-old South Hadley girls, whose names were not released, face delinquency charges that include the civil rights offense, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly. Of course, the denial with the mothers of these little monsters has already begun. My daughter never fought with her

This story bothered me on so many levels. The "adults" did nothing to stop it. Excuse me, in the town of South Hadley, Massachusets, it seems there are no adults there to speak of. The Mean Girls ETA: Nine of these little f...fudge cakes, got indicted today. 6 as adults, 3 as juvies. For what I hope is some very serious criminal charges. I think their parents and the school administrators/teachers should be doing time too.

Thanks for this video. I had no idea about Psalms 22. Obviously others (like kimberly) did. The one thing I would have to disagree with this teaching is that John S. said that Jesus wasn't afraid of the crucifixtion. I'm not so sure about that. Nor do I think it would be wrong to be afraid. It doesn't mean he was weak, for crying out loud. To me it means you are more brave than ever. And I know what you mean about CES having everything on video now. I don't go to their site a lot anymore, but when I do, I used to like to look up something real quick that they would have in print. Now that they have almost everyting in video, it's a little annoying. I don't have the patience to sit through a whole video to get to the part I wan't to see.

I went to that link. Those are some real old-time wayfers. You should contact them and ask them what their sources are.

Yeah, I think Weirwille may have had a problem with Jesus "dissing" God at that moment. But what you said is very true. He WAS flesh and blood, and suffered more than any man in history, I would think. My God, I truly wouldn't want to bear for a second, the pain he was going through. Not for an instant.

Wow. This verse, the way I was taught it was "correctly translated", has stuck with me for years. I heard some other preacher a few years ago give a plausable meaning to this verse. He said that God could not look at Jesus at that moment because Jesus had taken on all the sin of the world. That is why Jesus asked God why did He forsake him. I don't know, that seems rather plausable to me!

One thing I'm a little unclear about is that the couple said they were a little hesitant to go public. I don't really know too much how the lottery works, but I believe in Illinois the law is now that your identity has to be revealed, being a public jackpot and all. Is Powerball different? Is Kentucky different? :unsure:

lol kimberly, I just wear my old JC penny leather boots that I buy every other year. You are probably right, but I have really ugly big feet and have never been much of a shoe person. I can't walk in heels, and my size 9 feet just don't fit into the cute shoes! Oh well. Perhaps I'll look for some sparkly gym shoes. It is nice to see though, that other people are just as blessed with the "simple" blessings in life that we always seem to take for granted, unless we lose them! God forbid that!

I am thankful I still have a job to go to every morning. I really had to cut back on Christmas presents this year. I did not get my usual Christmas bonus, there was just no money for it. Believe me, it did not bother me one bit. I DID buy myself what I consider to be a great present. I have been coveting these jeans for a couple of years I think. I finally figured, what the heck. So I bought them.
