Yes, it's so obvious, I'm surprised they aren't too embarrassed to say/do these things! Don't tell me the media is all free speech ..there must be dozens work within the industry that strongly oppose such actions.
Actually, I wouldn't mind too much if they did put a little tax on liquid with nicotine - at least it would be honest skulduggery!

As for my day - got off to a bad start due to a certain someone blithely arranging to go off somewhere at 7.30 without even checking I'd be OK to get up at that time!
I was only able to work in the evening yesterday due to too many interruptions in the afternoon! So, vertigo and only 5.5 hours sleep didn't make for a bright start to the day! :lol:
Never mind 'The Insignificant Other' will survive :rolleyes:

Although there is no comparison trish, i had a crappy day myself yesterday. My dog ( a staffy ) dug under one of the panel bases in the back garden, and went into a neighbours garden, killing one of their guinea pigs in the process. :facepalm:

We still don`t know how she got into their garden, as they are all fenced off as well. When i noticed the dog missing, i went out with lead in hand to go and find her, she was at the front gate, so i got her indoors. It`s when i was going to the shop with my wife that the girl told us what had happened. :( I offered to buy her another one, though i know that is only a gesture, and she refused, so i offered to give her some money to either buy a new one herself or spend it as she wished. Nope not interested, so i gave up trying. I wouldn`t mind but this girl is bloody 17 years old, and carrying on like a 7 year old.

I understand her being upset, but she needs to grow up a bit. It is a bloody tough world we live in and though that doesn`t excuse what happened, at 17 she should be doing more with her life. I know i wasn`t pigging about like that at her age.( Please excuse the pun ) :p

I hate anything bad happening with one of our dogs whether they do something wrong or something bad happens to them.
One we had once caught an unsuspecting starling and I could barely look at her for the rest of the day, even though we absolutely loved her to bits! She was such a lovely gentle dog otherwise ...but, as a poodle, she was designed for hunting purposes!

It's a tough one - I get upset when a nearby cat comes into our garden and attacks the baby birds on the lawn! Husband isn't that happy either when that happens. We have quite a lot of birds nest in our trees & hedges each summer from wrens to wood pigeons and crows! It's lovely to see the little ones.

But, I wasn't quite 18 when we got married, and a year later we had our first son! Was definitely grown up at that age.
I suppose having a pet killed by another animal (I know she was your pet dog) is a bit upsetting. Probably more a shock than anything else.
Sadly, one of those things, and can't be undone.

One thing that did make me cry when I was 18: had a parrot and it started attacking me so I ran into another room and shut the door ..parrot got caught in the top of the door and was killed - I felt awful! Poor thing.

Worst ever though was finding the dog that caught the starling was very ill only two weeks after my Dad died, and I had to go to the vet while she was put to sleep. Was on my own that day and I'd never done that before. At least I was calm and hugged her until it was over. Not a good day - even the vet was sad.

Yes what`s done is done trish, and unfortunately cannot be undone. It is the hardest thing i have ever done in my life, taking my last dog to be out to sleep. He was a grand old thing at 14, and we had him from being a little pup. So sad a day that was, and without getting too depressing, i hope i will meet him again one day.:cry:

Ah! She was almost 14 too, and like you, we had her from 7 weeks old ...tiny bundle of wool: bit like a black hedgehog! She was a brave dog too - not a sign she was in pain until after my Dad died and then she began to limp. She had a tumour on her shoulder and it had damaged her bones too much. The vet couldn't have been kinder - he'd phoned while I was in the shower and waited with her until I got there.
She'd had a good life but the timing was rough on us. She won't be forgotten.

We had another sad little bundle that we still get quite upset about because she was so tiny and had so many problems, yet she was the most cheerful & loving little soul for all of the 7 years we had her.
She died less than a year after the bigger one, and the vet was beside himself at the prospect of having to put our second dog to sleep so soon. He asked that we keep her with us until morning, and she died just as it got light. She truly was a little ray of sunshine :)

We have to be glad that these loving creatures find their way into our lives - they give us so much unconditionally, and it's a pleasure to give them as much love as they deserve :)

We now have a little one that is 7, and a huge black standard one - her Dad is the biggest standard in the country. Bred to the old standard when they were used for hunting rather than the lightly boned smaller ones they seem to breed now. Nothing silly with haircuts: she's just like a big woolly bear!
She really will break my heart when she goes - I absolutely adore her! She stands up and puts her paws around my neck for a hug every morning! :laugh:

Hmm, they but in then leave us in suspense...:laugh:

I forgot to say my RY4 arrived from chefs today, bloody good going that as i only ordered it on thursday night, after business hours.:)
I got my 100ml Posset 0.3mg today too! Ordered Thursday around 3pm! Good service isn't it! :) I've been mixing .6 and zero 50/50 for the past 60ml of it, and I'm happy with it for an everyday one!

How about 4 days from Nebraska to my post box! I ordered a small bottle H1N1 and 30ml of Got Cookie (Oreo) from Nicoticket on Tuesday afternoon. It left that evening, was in NY the next day and on a plane to here! That in itself was faster than usual, but for it to arrive today was very surprising! :)

You know the Mint Choc Vapetto is one of my everyday favourites, and it's a good chocolate ice cream cornet flavour for me, well the NT Got Cookie is totally different yet still really good. I got it in 18mg because it's 50/50 VG/PG, and add around 20% to Confusion or CLS/ABC etc. To still get a good chocolate flavour after diluting it that way is great for me! It really tastes like a crumbly chocolate cookie with a creamy taste in the exhale! I do like it!
Apparently, it gets better with steeping too. I have another 30ml on the way too!

It really is a good company trish, one i have always liked. :) 4 days from the states is very impressive as well, my last 2 orders from MB took 6 days which i thought was good going but 4 is WOW.:laugh:

Yes i know you like your choccy vapes trish, but it has never appealled to me, Though i do like eating it, i never fancied vaping it.

It is amazing! It usually goes to Chicago and then on a plane a day or two after ordering - this time it was on it's way within 24hours! NT's USPS standard post tracking even shows it landing here too!
It's usually 6,7,8 days. The one sent yesterday isn't showing anything specific yet - probably weekend pace! :)

I only like them if they're the Belgian or dark chocolate cocoa tasting chocolate - both the CV and the NT are just that.
Oddly enough, I don't eat much chocolate, but if I do, I like dark chocolate that isn't over sweet! :)

You sound just like my mother trish, she always went for the dark chocolate :) Must be a "lady thing" :D I was looking at NT again the other day, but i can honestly say, there is nothing there which tickles my fancy. Where as with MBV there is an awful lot more choice :) It`s good to hear you are finding some favourites though.:)

My Mother & Father both liked dark chocolate ..especially chocolate ginger! Anyway, dark chocolate is far better for you! I don't like British chocolate: it's usually sweet & pasty. A Belgian chocolate will give a satisfying 'snap' when bitten ..much nicer in my view!

You unwittingly reminded me of something years ago - I was looking for a car and doing the usual browse through showrooms. Saw one that was rather nice (can't remember what) and the idiot salesman came up to me and said .."very nice ...a perfect ladies car!" What! Did I buy the car? ..did I heck as like! I went to a Peugeot garage and got a sports type white colour coded 309! :laugh:

Well, that's why there's different brands ..the better ones all seem to have their own signature. Look how many of CV I like, and some have been more or less permanent since I tried them. CV and NT seem to be forming the bulk of what I like best.
I do intend to try a few of the MB ones though! I'll get to it :)

I got a bottle of flavouring from CV too today: Capella Peaches & Cream Version 2 (contains no nasties). Recommendation is 5-20% So that's a huge scope. I wanted it to just add a creamy peach flavour to some ready made ones such as custards and B etc., perhaps even RY. Smells very much of ripe peaches!

Not much chance of me doing that with my peggies :laugh:

And i don`t blame you in the least trisha, they are not my favourite sort of people either.

No need to apologise! Just saying that they both liked it, so natural that I did :laugh:
Not much chance of me doing that with my peggies :laugh:
Well, I'm thinking more like front teeth ..and not talking about big thick doorsteps of chocolate either. A good quality chocolate coffee cream, or cherry in kirsch for instance will have a chocolate 'shell' that cracks when you bite it rather than just caving in! ..if that makes sense. :)

And i don`t blame you in the least trisha, they are not my favourite sort of people either.
I do hope we have no used car salesmen around, but I really don't care for them at all ...nor insurance salesmen ...in fact, most salesmen! ..and woe betide any that come to my door and call me 'pet' or 'love'! Aaaggghh! If they don't know by my expression, they soon get the message! :laugh:

I like re-ordering favourites ..feels 'easy' :)

EDIT: seems like just you and i tonight trish.:)
Seems like it ..but we aren't :laugh:

I am always here :D ...... :evil:
