THANK you, Morri! Now that you cleared up the butterscotch thing for me, I'll let it steep for a few more days now and give it another whirl!
One surprise for me today was, after vaping Twas Brillig while in my car out grocery shopping, I switched batteries and plugged it in my spinner, cranked it up to 3.8 and gave it a whirl. OMG. That was what it needed. So then, while in the grocery store I bought a jar of blackberry preserves (never done that before). Then, all during supper tonight, I kept thinking back on TW and how I love thee. I baked a blackberry cobbler for dessert MUCH to my families delight! It appears as if TB has found it's home with me!!! :)

I've done it a few times myself! :facepalm:

Speaking of facepalms, my credit card didn't want to work right this evening, but it finally went through, I was so annoyed. I thought I was going to have to spend an hour on the phone with the CC company and I knew the $$ was there! Knew I had more than enough! And the phone system had been acting funny all day, so I thought I was going to be in for a LOT of fun! But finally on the 7th or so try, it went through! :banana: One headache spared!

Did you get your Mind Toulouse, KJ?

And thanks KJ, for letting us know portal was open early! :) Hope you're feeling better!

Gah! Had to place an order even though my first is probably still somewhere in Customsland; cannot bear to think of waiting for more Frost Blossom when that ickle sampler size gets devoured on arrival. Plus those new croomies are too tempting.

Curse my far away-ness! Plus side, guess they come pre-steeped with the longer delivery schedule. :)

OH FROST BLOSSOM! I love the tickle on my tongue when I take you in, and the reminder of winter snow when I exhale...:vapor: so cool...so refreshing...One of my favorites!...And you know...I'm sorry everyone...but it seems they're ALL my favorites...I know:blush:...but they are...I just can't get enough of their wonderful creations.:)

emailed Hannah so hopefully all is good ....... no will have to wait till next week for mind toulose..... was completely out of white rabbit but still have half a small bottle of mt so hopefully can conserve that one
on a different note the meds they have me on are making quite the difference....for the FIRST time in over 3 years I am not in pain....dr says that I need to go back on the pain meds when I go home...not sure about that just need pain to be manageable really dont want to get on that meds treadmill that I have seen ruin so many lives(and with no insurance they are very exspensive as well).....tests are going well and they dont think any further damage has been done just a great deal of swelling causing nerve impingement where discs were ruptured...2 down low and 1 in neck. They are amazed at my pain tolerance level. Still 3 tests to go so I will most likely be here till the weekend and will probably require a brace when I leave......(sigh just what I dont want)
On a good note my dr caught me vapeing and was supportive she just said dont let them catch me and take it away....she wants me to bring her info when I see her for follow ups

I will say this, many of them are! I have a few I can live without, but the majority I have to have some of! It's amazing! I wish I could do Frost Blossom with a little less menthol...I need to revisit that bottle along with the other citrus ones...For some reason, those are the ones I can live without, kind of, LOL!

I haven't had a pain free day in years and still have problems a lot of days with manageable. But if it weren't for the meds I would be completely unable to function at all. My mom has a very high tolerance to pain meds and I wonder if I inherited that...Hope you feel better, the braces seem to help! I personally never got one... :(

And I have seen it ruin a lot of lives too, but these people use them to get high not get rid of pain! I have never once gotten high off of my meds because they are working on my pain and I still have plenty of pain to spare after use. It's worse for me because I am young and look younger so they automatically think I want to abuse them, I don't!

I am dependent but not addicted, there's a big difference! I had my ex-fiancée stealing my meds to get high, often leaving me without and I'd manage to get through it but wasn't worth a damn. I wasn't looking for more or for a fix! I just had to deal. Don't believe all the stuff that is said about pain meds, the actual facts are far different than what the media tries to paint as reality!! But ultimately that choice is yours. I'm not going to stroke out because of pain before I am 40. Pain affects a lot of portions of your body, it shrinks your frontal lobe, raises BP ex:170/100 for me, causes all kinds of distress and problems.

I am happy to have a pain free day.....if I were at home moving around I dont think it would happen but being bed bound and being on the drip it is nice to have a reminder of what pain free feels like. I took myself off the pain meds a bit over a year ago after a dear friend died from an accidental overdose leaving two small children alone....took me 3 months to ween myself off them. Normally can keep thing bearable with massager/heat/ice and hot tub...wish we could get that up and running again I am sure a soak or two a day would make a big difference

Fancy I understand the difference between dependence and addiction....just seeing someone close to me dying by accident was traumatic to me...my life is limited by the pain...not being able to do much around the house and not being able to work really suxs...I worked 1-3 jobs from the time I was 15 and managed a house until my injury ...now it is a good day if I can cook, wash dishes and take out the trash....my house is a bit of a wreck all the time as well . I keep trying to convince myself to apply for SSD...maybe I will get there soon

I understand, I saw a lot of things I shouldn't have seen at a very young age and while it has affected me, I have had to live my life anyway, but that's just me, everyone is different. I have a lot of scars and the few people who do know my whole life story are amazed. They say I should have been on Oprah or that I should write a book, maybe someday. No judgement here, just love and concern. I have been fighting for everything since I was 4-5 years old.


I worked tons of jobs, even ones I shouldn't have after my accident. I've waited 6 years for a surgery I need that I don't foresee happening anytime soon with this doc. At 28 I was reduced to a shadow of my former self, I never got to get married and kids are highly unlikely at this point. I cannot do much of anything for myself anymore between my neck and SI joint pain, that makes my back hurt horribly. All I have wanted was to get fixed so maybe I could actually move on with my life, but not happening. I have no help, my mom thinks it's in my head, I have always driven myself to the hospital and taken care of myself, my family doesn't come to the hospital. I had a seizure, my mom came for 5-10 minutes and left because she was having a dinner party. I spent 5 days in a hospital in Texas by myself, no one came. I have someone who does the cleaning for me. There is very, very little I can do anymore. And as I said, I have no help, no husband to help out on occasion, no friends who help, my last boyfriend was useless...Much like my current doctor. I have to take care of everything on my own. I think my current ortho doesn't take me seriously because of my mom! Probably why he never looked at my records, he just took my mom's word for it and she had a one level lower back fusion! I need to talk to my lawyer, or ex-lawyer, he knows more than most of my current doctors about my condition. So I understand, I did all those things, just got cut off very young. It took a long time for me to come to terms with things and I am still not there yet. And I have no support system at all, not in so far as being hurt is concerned.

Well, you have us now!! *HUGS*

And I've been the grownup in my family since I was five and cut my parents out of my life forever five years ago. I'd bet we could share stories!
