Another thing that impresses me is that the clearomizer does not leak! These things are incredible! I think I have finally found my perfect set up! I will recommend these to anyone that asks, particularly on the newbies forum. 
Happy Wednesday, Retriever and everyone. That avatar is just the cutest thing, Retriever.
Good morning, Kia.
Good morning, Kia.
Do not rush the calendar. Enjoy every day. I remember when everyone always wanted Friday to hurry up and get here to enjoy their weekend. I was with them until I learned each day is enjoyable if you take the right approach to it. I just wish I had learned all this stuff before I got the gray hair (LOL)...
Good Morning Everyone.
Reptilr - we go out camping about 5 - 6 times a year. Sometimes for a few days and sometimes for a few weeks. That is one of the good things about being Semi-retired and doing work through a computer, which means it is portable...

Hey, reptilr! Last night I made diet cola and raspberry cranberry. I thought they tasted very good. I really like the fact that the diet drinks use Splenda instead of aspartame. Regular soft drinks taste great, I love colas, but I have to stay away from that much sugar. I'm not diabetic but if I don't watch the carbs my blood sugar gets a little high. So I'm always looking for ways to still enjoy food and drink, but cut the carbs too. I even make these one serving round loaves of bread from flax seed flour and almond meal flour. One minute in a round plastic bowl in the microwave and it's done. It doesn't actually taste like bread but I like it.
Don't feel bad about not having the colored caps. They just come in black, grey and white.....and the bottles come with black caps. But I thought the white caps would be nice to have as spares.

The squirrel is not a happy rodent the last couple of days. My X2 is messed up and it needs to be replaced. I will be without it for probably a week by the time I can send it out and get a replacement. I'd love to have multiple units, but I'm not made of money.
I'm requesting an auto batt as a replacement.

The squirrel isn't going to be good company for awhile, I'm afraid. But, I do enjoy reading other people's posts.
Sorry to hear, TK! I don't know what I'd do without my X2!
Good Morning Fellow Volties!
Coming back to life a bit late today because I had a late night. My daughter and her hubby came over with their male black lab LT. Lexi had her first play date! It was a little tense at first because LT was terrified just by the sheer size of her. Lexi maintained her normal cool as a cucumber style, and he soon relaxed. Then they started to play. It was pretty hilarious! Lexi wore herself out and slept in today too (bless her heart!).

Good morning, Voltville! Every time I type that I think of Good Morning Vietnam with Robin Williams! One of my favorite war movies! Anyway, I cannot wait until my hubby's check posts to our checking tonight! After paying the bills, the first thing I'll be doing is ordering a couple of those clearomizers! I made a huge mistake and bought an Ego-T! Boy, was I disappointed! Too many problems with the atomizers and too much maintenance for me! Unfortunately, I can't return it, so I've packed it away. Lesson learned in patience! 
From now on, it's SI and the Volt for me!

Nope - No pics.
Tina - get an adapter(s) and you can use your Volt cartomizers or clearos on your eGo-T's!
Fani - They are both fixed, so there won't be any romance. Besides - he'd need a ladder.

You know, My Friends Tom & Cindy who own "the Mill" in the Photos I showed everyone, since Tom built almost everything from scratch . . . Their place was a segment of HGTV's "Extreme Homes" . . . It would be nice if yours was too . . . But alas, since they are no longer on the air, would you ever consider doing a "Video" to show us Your home . . . You know a walk though showing us all the "stuff", especially what you and your husband built and/or made - I know I would "LOVE" to see it all . . . hint - hiNT - HINT
Hmmm - I won't do a video. Those end up looking like I'm shooting during an earthquake. But - I could show y'all a few rooms. It's just a house - nothing spectacular (except to me). Guess I'll start with my upstairs bathroom since that's what I was talkin' about when this whole subject came up. It's my Waterfall Bathroom for reasons that will become obvious.
First I'll show you the SketchUp model that I made of this room so you'll understand the layout:
When my husband and I built this house (literally - from the ground up) we put temporary fiberboard vanity tops in two bathrooms. They were only supposed to serve their purpose until we could have some vanities cut to fit. Well, we soon discovered that a damp washcloth left on fiberboard will raise the grain substantially. That got my creative juices flowing a bit. I'd never seen or heard of anyone doing what I was about to do, but I figured WTH, the worst that can come of it is a messed up piece of fiberboard.
Here's what I did:
#1 I wetted bath towels and covered the whole surface of the fiberboard to raise the grain overnight.
#2 After wiping off the excess moisture, I painted the fiberboard with aqua latex paint and allowed it to dry completely.
#3 Then I rubbed a dark blue latex paint on with a rag and immediately wiped it off of the surface. Now the dark blue only remained in the deepest areas. Allowed that to dry completely.
#4 Now I painted random squiggles of blue and green stained glass paint, then feathered them out a bit with a soft brush.
#5 By this point, the paint fumes were getting to me a bit (that's my excuse) and I glued some stuff to the surface: a sterling silver trilobite earring (that had lost its mate) with the post cut off, a piece of slab cut malachite, and a big black opal. Allowed the glue time to dry.
#6 My next step was the scariest: I poured EnvirotexLite polyester resin over everything. I had to do this sloooowwwwly to keep it from overflowing the edge of the board and to pop any bubble that arose with hot breath. Give that a day to dry.
#7 Add another layer of resin.
This is how it turned out:
This is a waterfall sink and was a really inexpensive eBay acquisition.

A close up of the black opal:
I did the exact same treatment to the top of a white cabinet that holds towels. The embedments on that were: sterling silver turtle earrings, more opals, chrysocolla cabochans, a silver button, and a dime. The dime cracks me up because people keep trying to pick it up - lol.
Here's the front of the cabinet which was "recycled" junk with new knobs, a paint job, and stainless steel shelf paper covering the beat up shelves. The pictures are inkjet photos of waterfalls that I printed out and sealed with polyurethane and covered the edges with metallic tape:
To complete my waterfall bathroom I also installed dark green ceramic tile on the fixture end of the Jacuzzi surround and put up a photomural on the rest of it. Then painted that with 5 layers of polyurethane.
When the bidet was first installed, Dave wondered "Oooh - I wonder what this does." and turned the knob. He got shot right between the legs. He learned not to try anything out without asking what it is first.
Love this fan - It even has a remote!
I tiled the floor myself and made the Roman shades that you can't see, and the shower curtain from inexpensive quilting cotton.

Oh, Rave; that is lovely. What an excellent job you did! Do you have a (muted) soundtrack to go with the jacuzzi mural?
