Thanks, you too!

Hang in there Ryan. I'm in similar, but worse circumstances. I'm not going to list my issues, but I'll just say that even before this pandemic hit, the reality of my mortality has been tapping on my shoulder for a while. I'm not going to weigh in on the political debates, I just want to wish everyone the best possible outcome for you and your families. We have to hope an effective treatment is found and implemented soon, there are some promising things being tried now, and hopefully a vaccine is developed in the not too distant future. Best of luck everyone, we're all going to need it.

I don't participate here anymore. I just thought you might want to know the correct spelling for Joseph Goebbels.

Win our conference tournament and we're a #1 seed!

Goebbels.

#4 in the AP, #3 in the Coaches poll. Only 2 losses, one of them in OT to #1 Kansas, the other in OT to #21 Colorado, both on a neutral court early in the year. It might not last, but these guys are good and damn they're fun to watch.

RIP Sam, my all time favorite and a great human being.

I'm just glad we didn't go winless for the whole season. Chances are we'll screw up the draft regardless where we pick.

No, don't remember Yosh or Vapergate. A lot of things sprang up around that time. I used a few of the different systems that came along but I was never one of those who chased clouds, built coils and all that. I just wanted something simple that worked. These days when at home in front of my computer I usually use a SMOK MAG with, I think it's a SMOK TFV12 PRINCE tank. Most of the time I just use SMOK NOVO 2s though. It's a pod system the size of a bic lighter. Just fill the pod and stick it in your pocket. No leaks or buttons. Much better and easier than the crap we used to try to use. I've pretty much found the juice that I always like to use. Mad Hatter Sweet tobacco Salts, 25mg. It's only like $14 for 30ml at Direct Vapor plus they always have free shipping and run 20 to 25% off sales all the time. I never have liked the fruity, or food flavors, just tobacco-ish. I miss the old days on here too, we had a great board. I guess times change, the world changes. Different things take on more, or less importance than they used to. I still follow the Bengals but not like I used to. Now if I have things to do, I DVR the game, and if they lose I don't even go back and watch it. My weekends are usually taken up watching my 11 year old granddaughter's soccer and basketball games. She's always the best player on her team and her teams usually win the championships. She's also very pretty and very lovable and she just got straight A's on her recent report card. I'm a proud grandpa in case you can't tell, and her future means more to me than anything. I'm 60 years old and I have enough health issues to recognize my mortality. I'm not going to live forever and I no longer want to spend time on the internet arguing, berating and being berated over what I think and believe. At this point I'm not going to change my mind and I'm sure no one else on here will either. I could keep posting in here and have people come to hate me if they don't already, or I could come to hate them if I don't already. Or I could just drop in and read a little once in a while, post very rarely, and mostly just move on. That's what I've chosen. Good to "talk" to you though Ryan. You're a hell of a guy.

Yeah, it's all bullshit. I've been vaping since April 2009, My wife started a year or 2 later. She gave up cigarettes completely, I still smoke some, nowhere near as much as I used to. You stop hacking up half a lung in the morning, you stop getting short of breath after every little thing you do. When it first started becoming a thing, I used to spend some time on vaping forums. The number of people who quit smoking by vaping is astronomical, and many of them then quit vaping too. It should be encouraged for any adult who smokes. Of course kids shouldn't vape but it's better than them smoking.

Isn't that exactly what happened?
