DXF Gotcha ... my taste buds are different week to week ... i didnt like RY4 at first but now it is one of favs, so that could be my faverite someday. i just tried SI's chocolate in a carto (my first chocolate and its GOOD!!) Guess i ll need some Chocolate e-juice soon.

If you like them - you'll love Mint or Menthol with that chocolate too! That was all I used the first 4 months! From ecigexpress I took advantage of a big sale - sometimes I add 2-5 drops of Double Dutch Choco to a Clearo of choc/mint!

Butterscotch is a great addition to the RY4 for a 'change'.

Tastebuds are weird. I love Raspberry's - can't stand Watermelon (foodwise) - but it's the reverse in vaping ... :confused:

I hear a lot of good things about SI's watermelon but I'm the same as you Kico, not a fan of it to eat but maybe I'll try vaping it oneday

I love watermelon, but I've never liked anything with watermelon flavoring. SI's watermelon is amazing!! Just my :2c:
 
yes, i look at every 30ml bottle as about $40 saved in the future. i got more juice in reserve than i kept in ciggys, but i got to mail order juice so that doesnt bother me. Anyway for me juice is my biggest cost and i havent got anything yet i cant vap yet so it all will get used. So i am happy.

Catchin' up! Just had to comment - when I lost a new 78 (Purple no less) and new XL Carto out mowing - I couldn't help but think in terms of "Oh no! I just lost 3 pack of smokes!" Funny but 3 pack of smokes would have been easier to spot than hunting for over an hour around the 20 minutes of mowing that was done and NOT finding it! Grrr! Now I just leave it in the vehicle or clenched in my hot little hand (mouth piece down in the web area of my thumb)! :closedeyes:
 
You can never replace Penny,and you'll never love another horse the same b/c the connection that you two have go right down to the soul.Its hard to explain but you know what I'm talking about. That filly that's on my profile has the coloring and markings of my beloved Montego Bay and I love her dearly but she'll never be who Montego was

OMGosh - you guys have been giving me goosebumps talking about the horses! Best friends growing up - never told secrets; always there for yah ... But WHAT A NAME! Montego bay! Love it! Hmm - now I have that song going thru my head!

Dad always bought someone else's screwups. One could't be ridden til I went sliding on elbows and knees a couple times and she bucked to the saddle was off over her head. Another head tosser (learned the hard way as a kid about "racing" all the time) and got the bridle off a couple miles from home. I'm sure we were home in record time side swiping the mailbox and all the neighbors in 4 square miles heard the "Daddy help me!" as we flew by the house toward the pasture ducking under tree branches. Then panic set in worried the 4 wire gate was shut. Even more panic when I saw it open and wondering if she would ever stop - 40 acre pasture. Sheesh - I didn't ride for a week. My folks "knew" I was sick.

My favorite was the first baby raised - a dun quarter horse named "Flicka" ( hmm wonder where THAT name came from!)
Then there was Ziyadah (The Black Stallion's daddy ... according to Walter!)

Now we have an 8 month old filly hubby decided to buy - named her "Molly" ...

Anyway - before I forget - a friend told me a couple months ago I "needed to get a horse". When I asked why she said "Needed" - she explained - some of us just are NOT complete without them. I thought that was pretty cool! Right now I think I agree. I love just walking out in the yard - standing looking down while all these foals come up exploring. currently 8 mares and 10 foals out there... along with some geldings - a couple who don't remember they are geldings ...
The babies are only going to be here this week yet. Horse sale is 1st Sunday of the Month ... Will be interesting to see what the guy brings back! :unsure:

Strangely I'm feeling anxious for you, yet I'm sure all will be aok & she'll have some nice shiny whites soon. I have a feeling that she'll come home to a special lil bed all made up ready for her & her favourite dinner waiting lol

Right after reading your post I talked to the vet office and Emma is fine. I'm going to leave in a few minutes to go pick her up. Will check back with the forum this evening. :)

Nice to hear ur amazing story, its a testiment to ur character .... I never rode bikes much, other than my frends letting borrow theirs. I want a motercycle bad as kid but my parents like lots of parents would not let me have one. As i got i older i figured i was sure to kill myself if got one. Today i am pretty safe on the street in car. i realize now racing should not be done on the public roads but i was pretty stupid when younger. i all ways wanted to be either Race Car Driver or Fighter Pilot. i have done some flying but thats another story. Anyhow, I try not to be stupid with stuff, but i just all ways liked going fast. I have never really raced, but would love to but it is an expensive sport. i autocrossed a few times as kid. Mazda also had a rev it up event, which was a promotional competition with different classes, in different citys and each city winner would race at leguna seca .... i think for a car. Any how in Atlanta i entered novice, and kept 1st place in my novice clas up to the end of the day, but someone beat my time at days end and i got 2nd. Still my kids where with me and i can tell the story. It was basically a slow course set out in pylons, my guess top speed was 50 to 80 mph. & the car was a miata with a roll cage, modified brakes and tires i think. It was tough not knowing the course. It was on the a white board, with some videos of it, but things like brake points and the line all a guess. they had a diagram of the course then i think u did one lap slow for familiarization, then only two laps for time. Anyway, something about getting the best time on a track is addicting too. I like speed but after i hit 40, i got more careful , i found things just take longer to heal. If i had money i think my youngest son could race, he has both talent & desire, but i dont and he is into Tennis which is safer.

I used to play GT4 on the old playstation II, i guess its an ok racing simulation ... well play is mild word, i was addicted to it. So i guess i got a virtual Nurenburg, Leguna Seca & Monico etched in my mind. Any way i know Leguna Seca Virtually in my sleep, & i think its one of the best courses in the world. Anyway i am amazed when i speak to any racer. Also ur recovery both from the accident and the recovery from the pain killers are amazing ! i think they are both things most peaple could not do ... Thank you for tell us ur story & I hope u enjoy Voltville and visit often :)

I never had much sense as a child or an adult and absolutely no fear. I have sky dived, scuba dived I have my Single Engine VFR Pilots License, raced Motocross, Flat Track, Drag Raced all Motorcycle of course, cars are too slow. I have always pushed the envelope, my wife says I have a death wish but only other adrenalin junkies understand what it's about. Fastest I've gone on the track is 215mph Fastest on the interstate next to my house is 170. Got a ticket on my 45th birthday for 140 in a 65 also got to go to the police station and pay a $2300 fine. Now I just have the memories unless of course....:)
 
I'll have to measure Lexi too. She's an English mastiff. I do know that her neck is also 28" because I recently measured it for a new collar. It's funny how we don't see them as big anymore unless the are side by side with another dog. When my daughter brings over her black lab, he looks tiny!

LOL! You sure your talking about dogs??? Sounds like small horses! :D (Beethoven is a dainty 10-11 lbs!)
Actually our favorite outdoor dog was a gorgeous Sable German Shepherd. A friend couldn't take her when they moved. We felt so honored to be blessed with that dog. VERY well trained. She could almost say "I love you" in a CLEAR manner! Gosh we laughed - reminded us of Scooby!

WELCOME TO THE NEW GUYS! Gosh one of these days I'll stay caught up ... Probably during a snowstorm ... Or when I get a laptop so I don't have to share with hubs ... I can be gone ALL day ... and he'll take the computer about the time I want it! Just found out bro's laptop is not worth fixing - never going to have a kind word to say about the Computer Renaissance in my area ...

Good Morning Volties!

I'm back from camping now. It was only a couple of nights, but it felt mighty good. It was kinda funny because I chose this weekend to go camping because I knew that my son would be having out of state guests for the weekend. I thought it might be nice for me to make myself scarce so that young people could be young people. Now Dave has his own campsite setup on what will be his property when I sign it over to him; but the younguns ended up coming down to my camp and joining me Saturday night. That made me feel awfully good. :wub:

OMGosh! Quick! I need a gigantic bathtowel - quick before this drool fry's my keyboard! :shock:
Umm - Rave - do you 'need' a sister to live right next door? I read a lot; I can be quiet ... ?????
 
Now I need to try a "snickerdoodle" cookie, never had one of them

Oh I used to make them all the time back in high school! They were soooo good! Now I try to be happy vaping all those yummy's that I no longer allow myself to eat! Just not worth the price health wise.

Rave - I especially loved that last photo too! Makes me want to print out a poster size and set up my little table top fountain under the picture! Hmm - maybe I'd actually get a little more (or would that be less? do to "changing sheets"!) sleep if I had that in my room! :laugh:

Yippppyyyyy! Glad to hear it! Someone once told me having a Fur-baby is like a kid - except you get to spread the college tuition out over their lifetime! :banana:

Hate to say it, but I think it took about a year. The gaps between the episodes lengthened greatly in the last six months though.

Thanks for the Congrats!! :)

A YEAR !!!! :ohmy: Kico, what helps me is to think in terms of my body repairing itself after yrs of smoking. It frustrates the heck out of me to BUT if I have a reason as to why I can't taste my vapes then I can deal with it better if that makes any sense at all. The mouth rinse trick doesn't work for me like it did.
Today was a rotten vape day for me,and I so wanted to get a pack of smokes but for what? To go through this all over again? Not me I'll go through every juice every vendor has to offer before I do that,and I know me well enough to know I couldn't smoke just one now like I did when I first started vaping,I'd smoke the whole pack one right after the other.
