    Realistically, it hasn't been that long yet that he's been out. I've had dogs get out of the yard and it be two days before I found them, and your husband is actively looking now, so you are doing what you can. I continue to have hope for a safe and happy return, for what that may be worth. If...

    Yeah, well. As someone who spends a fair part of her workday parsing addresses and related information as translated from the original [Chinese/Japanese/related language], the whole reads to me as your package was sent off to be put on the plane or boat or whatever, and when it got there they...

    That is just fabulous! My mom redid a dining table and chairs in a similar blend of just those blues and greens when I was small. I remember watching her paint a chair and being fascinated by the process.

    OOo! OOO! It's one of my friends! One of my 3 friends! (I have 3 friends.) Hi, friend!

    There's room for mainsail AND jib on a 20-footer?? :) I hope you find just what you want, that sounds just grand.

    I see all the USians are gearing up for Memorial Day! I got vapemail from last weekend: another Zeus X (this one is blue!), an Ammit (on clearance) (violet, very chic), some bottles which I am none too thrilled by, and at long last the cellucotton. I have not tried it yet. Having had an awful...

    You are my hero! Bolstered by your unwavering conviction, I had another go just now. My ceramic tweezers are unfortunately not of a size to effectively grip an 18650, so I used a handkerchief instead, which helped a lot. The wrinkles were stubborn for at least a couple of minutes, but then...

    Don't lose the little round paper washer thing from the positive end, though. Apparently it keeps the innards of the battery tucked away inside. Or repels battery demons. One of those.

    Mineral oil? Olive oil? Soak overnight in dish soap and water?

    So I hear! This was me using a hair dryer, I mean, the youtube demo I watched the guy was using a blowtorch but I have never been allowed handheld flame since that one time, well nevermindthat. Anyway, I think a blowtorch would probably singe my fingers worse than the hairdryer did. So, I did...

    I got a package today! Not an exciting one, but muchly wanted: bottle of nic for mixing, moar wires (24awg kanthal & SS), a pretty drip tip & a charger bag. Oh, and a wrapper for rewrapping batteries, I have a couple of batteries with nicks in their wrappings that I covered temporarily with...

    Some e-liquids taste nasty!

    Also, let the bottle you have sit for a couple weeks, maybe even a month. I've had liquid before I thought was unusable, but after sitting awhile they've mellowed into their true selves.

    Tell 'm to go climb a tree. You're the one living with a disability, after all. They should be ashamed of themselves, picking on you like that.

    This is inspirational! I need to make room for the new cool things, so I have just gone through the detritus of years and trashed a non-functional mod, several eGo batteries, some carts a vendor sent as a 'gift' (vendors who overstock on eGo, etc., I am not your dumping ground, just please send...

    Bad advice

    Knowledge is concerned with the external world, wisdom with the internal. The best threads (from the point of view of me, looking for advice on a problem I am having, or a thing I want to use or do) are those where the conversation accepts the premise at face value. Someone says they want...

    She is for sure a very handsome kitty! Good luck with rehoming her.

    It being a holiday weekend, and stuff being 10% off at CanVape (code: VICDAY), and them being really nice about sorting my errors on my first order with them, I tacked on a clearance-sale Ammit RDA and another Zeus X to give me three rebuildable decks for DIY mixing. And, y'know, vaping stuff...
