Nope, just been pretty busy here at work. Next week is gonna be a bit of a doozy, as well, so I prolly won't be around too much next week either. So, consider this your "head's up". ;)



Yes, ginger beer can be found here... both with, and without alcohol. I use ".... and Bull" to make Moscow Mules, and those are pretty awesome! :D

Still can't find the "zebra beer" (that's what I called the one I had in Australia). I have no idea what the actual name of it is, so it's been impossible for me to locate it. If I can ever figure out what the name is, then I'll go to Spec's and see if they can order it for me.

I also really, really, really like hard apple ciders. Angry Orchard varieties are my current favorites!



I haven't played with anything but TFA so far, but I've got some new flavors to try out. INW and FA are in there somewhere.
I'm trying to think what the heck zebra beer could be, nothing springs to mind. Was it a soft drink or what?

Yep, like Deb said. It's an alcoholic ginger beer that was in a zebra print bottle. I had it in a little bar in Perth... ohhhh... 'bout 18 years ago. I've never seen it since, and can't even seem to find it online. :(

I'll have a quick look online at the local bottle-o's. Bunderburg is the most common non alcoholic no zebra pattern though. Funny how somethings like that stick in your memory. I've never tried the alcohol fuelled model.

I've had Bunderburg; it's really good. I also really like .... and Bull, which is American. Both of those are non-alcoholic. The zebra striped one had alcohol in it. Around 6%, if I remember correctly.

Yes, it is very strange how certain things stick in a person's memory. I also distinctly remember the first time I ever had Strongbow (a British hard apple cider). But most times, I can't remember the PIN number to my ATM card... :facepalm: :lol:

Love the last line!
I had a fantastic Belgian beer in Switzerland when I was visiting friends there. It used Bourbon Barley and was FANTASTIC. So fantastic that I can't remember the name of it! :lol:

    I start the 4th quarter in a couple of months.

    I sneak in quite often & lurk. I'm so "old hat" with the way I vape that most of the time I don't have anything to add to the conversation.

    I know what you mean. I really don't have much to add. I'm pretty old school myself.

    As DH said, lulu has ya beat then. I understand about being old school, but you've got tons of knowledge to contribute :)

    Tweety is fine, thank you very much! :lol:

    I'm trying to decide whether to download the 449 pages of the deeming regs or wait for a synopsis. The comments on vaping.com are coming, but slowly ...
    (((((Birdy)))))))) so good to see ya. Did they pass something? I thought it all got tabled, or tossed

    ETA: duh, just saw the big post at the top of each page on the deeming

    Best to read it in small sections, and skip over non-relevant parts. So far, my reading indicates some reasonable compromises. As I predicted, it is not going to kill the industry.

    The deeming regs were announced this morning. The predicate date is still 4/2007. I'm wondering if that hasn't changed because the House hasn't yet voted on the Ag Appropriations Bill. Short of reading the full document, it's hard to know what's in ... It appears that it's a 90 day wait period before they go into effect. 0 Nic juice isn't covered, as best as the Sfata person could ascertain. I just ordered another liter of 100mg Nic.

    On a more upbeat note, the Governor of CA didn't sign the new tax bill.
