SCOA and me

This forum and its people have been extraordinarily helpful to me. And, I've met friends who I hope will continue to be friends in the future (you know who you are).

I've been sidetracked in my recent fascination with (as commonly referred to) eCigs, and an involvement in the biggest forum on the subject. I don't see that as being a lasting relationship as my use of PVs grows into routine, as opposed to WHOPPIE, this is COOL. Yeah, ok.

But, in my deviation from here ... the glow seems to be gone. I drive a neat car, I LOVE my smart. This forum is a great resource for information, and will continue to be such. I'm just not finding it as a place to hang out nightly. I starting to feel the same about the VP forum. Thinking I may start catching up on some of my MANY projects instead of spending so much forum time. Y'all are great, some of y'all have become friends. Just don't see me spending all of my spare time here, as I have done for the past 18 months or so.

Suze is still the sexiest woman alive, and BBB is still the guy I would call if I had a problem I couldn't resolve. All of the helpfull people here are priceless! I've spent entirely TOO much time here though. To the point of interferring with plans which are critical to my happiness overall. Wow, SCOA was quite an addiction. Cigarettes were too. I'm free. But, not gone.

I hear ya buddy. Sometimes I spend too much time here as well, I know. I'll be straight up when I say I just sit at my desk at home (and work) and cruise the forum but that will all be changing soon enough....sooo in about 3 months I'll be cutting back substantially too as I will finally be starting my life.

You've got my email and phone # so don't think twice about calling if you have a problem. Hopefully you can at least make the potluck in April with the club. No official date yet and we didn't officially say the location but most likely we'll keep it the same as last year.

Finally, I am sooo glad you're off the cigarettes. I hope to do the same with caffeine and Little Debbies in the future.

If you do go down that path, we'll want to see a new time slip for your panel swaps sans caffeine and sugar!

Well, NCC, this is sad. We'll all miss your voice here. We could always count on you for your unique take on things.


Now we'll have a gap.



Always remember and never forget... The good old SCOA days will be go down in history as the best of times.









drop in from time to time, ok?

NCC!!! What the heck are you doing here tonight???!!

forest - I still have 6 more months of caffeine and sugar IF I don't get another job after I retire. IF I do get a new job then I am staying on the caffeine and sugar (my way of fighting against the wife since I don't want to work anymore).

The Enterprise is heading out!

Time for another journey eh?
Stop by on your next pass in orbit...

Let's be careful out there (especially who gets beamed aboard!)

I have to thank you for your testimonial on eCigs. You became an inspiration to my dad. He has ordered the eCigs and is planning to use them to quit smoking after about 45 years!!!

I've also noticed the spark is dimming. I adore the people here, but I too am finding it hard to get on every night like I use to. I love my car and appreciate the info on here, but need to focus more on my personal life and everything going on it right now. I've even given up presidency of SIN, and am now simply just a member. It was a hard decision, but with a probable move in the near future, it was something I had to do. I did; however, keep the Madame Sinner nickname, it just didn't seem to suit WhiteNBlack08...lol!

Thank you again!!!

Macy aka Madame Sinner
