What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

[rothenbj]

Hitt, perhaps I didn't log in clicking "stay connected". I was so used to just opening my computer and going as it hardly ever gets turned off. We'll see.

I love the istick 50W. Besides the form factor, I just hooked it up to charge and I still had around 60% battery life from when I originally charged it. I'm running about .34 ohms at 3.6 volts and it's delivering good flavor plus it sits nicely in my cycle jacket.

Rwb, I have coupons here and we have no poker tomorrow so I'm planning a Turkey Hill stop. I'll report on pricing after that.

I had a good interview with a General fellow from California today. I had receive an email looking for snusers from CA to interview with media people. I returned his email and he wanted to speak to me anyway. I wish I had some CA contacts to provide him. He asked all kinds of background questions and I volunteered to be interviewed by anyone in the media anywhere. We had a brief conversation about the FDA and were on the same page about it being more political than scientific.

 

[Waho]

I must have received the same email, but I seen CA users and ignored it. I received another from the same place that didn't have the CA addendum, but I haven't responded yet.

Hopefully I'll have a spare moment next week. Seems legit after hearing that they responded to you roth. I'm always skeptical of things like that due to the identity theft possibility.

 

[rothenbj]

The only identity theft was my smoking history and snus use and I don't think that will buy them much.

It's a small operation as you might expect. I missed the phone call and called it back and the gal that answered said some other company name and asked what she could do for me. I said the "You called me, I thought it was California calling". She said she was in Cali, who was I looking for. I didn't remember his name and said I'd look for the email but it's a call about General snus and she said, "Oh, you want Sonny". That's a small operation.

After the interview he brought up the Modified Risk Application on his own.

 

[rothenbj]

Rwb, thanks for the heads up. A bit out of the way, but I already figured that once in a while I'll swing long after I visit mom and pick up a few cans. $1.99 regular price. I had three coupons so it cost me $3.31 for 3 cans.

 

[Waho]

Quiet in here. Suppose I'll liven it a bit.

Got a deer with my Saturn coming home Saturday night. Didn't do a whole lot of damage as I was accelerating from a stop sign and slammed the brakes. Hit him square with the nose of the car and he came up on the hood a bit, denting the hood up and smashing the plastic grill. He got up and ran so I hope he made it. Was able to drive the car to the police station and home thankfully.

I carry a $250 deductible so I turned it in and dropped it off at the dealership Monday morning. Got it back today finally and it looks like it rolled off the line yesterday despite 125k miles. The way the hood was damaged made it cheaper to just buy a new hood, so they got a new one and painted it and put it on. It didn't match right so they repainted it three more times and couldn't get it to match. They called my insurance and said I must have gotten a weird paint lot from the factory and got approved to repaint the whole car. Pulled all the dings out from the tree falling on it years ago also.

Looks better now than when I bought it 4 years ago. Friend of mine thought I bought a new one with less miles. Ha!

Mint
Ice water

 

[hittman]

Now that's some good luck waho. I'm surprised they agreed to pay for a whole new paint job. Congrats!

 

[MasterofGods]

Mini mints were my first snus. I moved to regular mint after they were released. If the 4mg portions do the trick then good for you.

I just tried the swedish snus Catch XR, without a doubt THE best mint flavoured snus out there, perfect portion bags and all.

 

[hittman]

Is the eucalyptus very strong in it? I really don't like it. I tried the catch eucalyptus before and didn't care for it.

No ! Catch Eucalyptus and Catch Mint are different flavours, the Catch Spearmint is much more easygoing.

 

[hittman]

I'm a little confused. I thought the catchXR said peppermint, eucalyptus, and cedar? I'll have to read the description again.

 

[rothenbj]

I've had the Catch Peppermint which I liked but not the Catch XR. I wonder how different they are.

It's been a tough week around here. My gf's nephew went to the hospital and has a brain tumor. They haven't determined if it's malignant or not but it's tough to deal with. Early 30s with three kids, the youngest under a year. I'm praying that it x=can be dealt with.

 

[hittman]

That's terrible! Good luck to him.

Sorry to hear about that rothenbj, I hope it all works out for the better !

 

[firechick]

How is the boy doing, roth?

 

[rothenbj]

Will know more tomorrow FC. They drill a hole and test for malignancy. At some point they will cut out what they can but I don't know the timing on that. Scary times.

So true-

Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Pennsylvanians.

If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Pennsylvania. If you actually understand these jokes, repost this so all of your Pennsylvania friends and others can see, you definitely do live - or have lived - in Pennsylvania."

 

[Waho]

That sounds a lot like MI as well, especially the pothole and the winter/construction part.

The one about a lengthy conversation with someone who dialed a wrong a number reminds me of my Mom, she was pretty famous for that. Also, when I got my land line turned on at my new house, the number previously belonged to a gentleman named Brian and his wife Katie. I know way to much about this Brian from all the debt collectors that call, and not to mention his Aunt Susie. She called every week and left a message about what was going on in their family and whatnot. I finally felt bad enough to call her back and let her know that Brian has to have a new number, which ended up being a hour long conversation about my family and everything else. She still calls every now and then to check up on us, it's actually kind of sweet in a weird way.

 

[rothenbj]

She may have adopted you as her nephew as he may have no phone and living in a cardboard box.

 

[hittman]

Roth that's too funny! We had a dairy queen place like what was mentioned in that joke when I grew up in Ohio. It was more of an icecream stand than a dairy queen but they were closed during the late fall and winter.

 

[rothenbj]

Well, they drilled his skull and were able to take out about 95% of the low grade tumor. Because of its position they couldn't remove the whole thing and it didn't effect his speech. That's all I have for now, but all in all, great news.
