Great day, the weather alert radio keeps going off every ten minutes with a new warning and the stuff is marching my way. Poor Bo keeps jumping up every time that siren sounds.

Do you live in a Mobile Home in Kansas? What's with the weather alerts in south Jersey? Did Snooky jump in the ocean?

You know, if there was a contest; and the rules of said contest were: 1. You must post your submittals on this forum - 2. You must number those submittals - 3. Your user name must be Drummerskey......................and we will have a random drawing.............I still wouldnt win.

I was just reminded why I don't gamble, enter contests or buy lottery tickets
I couldn't win if I were the only one entering. I know how you feel.

Me, too, D. And I live in Nevada so if I go out on the town I figure I'll put my $20 into the machines and not a dime more and come out a loser every time.

My mom took me to Reno on my 21st birthday, gave me $50 to gamble away, and I lost all within an hour. Ho hum, mom, what do I do now? Ended up playing video games with my nephews. :laugh:

We should be so lucky as to have Snooky jump in the ocean, and not come out. Believe it or not, we do get a fair share of "heavy" weather between thunder storms, hurricanes, flash flooding and such. The big problem is that the Weather Service in Mount Holly also posts warning for everything from the upper Chesapeake Bay on up into the Poconos.

DIY is the only affordable way to vape plus you have full control over what goes in your lungs. With all the junk coming out of China I shy away from the juices from there, God only knows what they put in them. Do you have a Nicotine Calculator? if not I will send you one with 160 flavor recipes I got from Scuba Dan over on the DIY Forum. The only thing you need worry about is your hands and eyes the respirators are a wast of money. Once you get the hang of it you can move up to the 100% nicotine and really save some money. Xtreme also has all USA made flavors, don't bother with anything other than USA made or you will be disappointed. I have made enough juice in the last month to get me through about 2 years. I even bought a small refrigerator to keep everything in. Just be sure to let your VG come up to room temp before attempting to mix, that stuff is like molasses when it gets below 40F. :D
Thanks, I have Scuba Dan's Excel file and Breakthru's eJuiceMeUp app, and don't even wanna look at recipes right now, cuz it'll just make me wanna buy more flavors. Then I won't be eating. Just had to get enough stuff this time around to get my feet wet and tide me over for the next few months (severely limited funds - out of juice and had exactly $53 to spend), but yeah, I see a wine fridge for this stuff in my future...

Woohoo, my head's still spinning from the cost difference! With premixed, I would've blown my $53 in 1 1/2 months with just 1 or 2 flavors. Now I've got 4 months' worth, with 6 flavors and all the combinations I can get with those!

I'm stayin out of your world at least out of range until I get my Body Armor, and then it's a maybe, still gotta worry about a head shot... :p

:laugh: You'd be safer with the kittens than the body armor. I am powerless against the mighty critter. Critters are my cryptonite. I become reduced to moosh, and there's nothing scary about moosh.

I'm 70 miles northwest of Philadelphia, and we are getting hammered. Heavy rain and strong winds.

Oh, wonderful. Now we're under a tornado watch.

They mentioned that on the car radio when I went out to the farm to visit my horse, but the rain has stopped so far, and the wind wasn't all that ferocious when it was raining. Now it's still and gray, so we might get another wave of bad weather this evening, but today, it was mostly just a lot of rain at once, and it rained nearly all day long. I figure our weather is what the Midwest just had and that you folks on the East Coast will get soon, since I'm in Central New York (the Finger Lakes area, to be more specific).

And around here, "tornado" usually means thunderstorms, not actual tornadoes, though they have happened nearby (within 50 miles from my house but not in my actual neighborhood). Even so, the tornadoes we get here don't compare in any way to the ones in the Midwest. Here, maybe the big excitement is that a roof blows off a barn or some such thing. Sometimes a house is wrecked. I read about it every few years in the paper or someone tells me of someone they know, but I've never even seen an actual tornado -- like the funnel cloud in the sky.

Somewhere around here, I have photographs that I took when I was traveling with my son. We saw three at once. I was standing outside of my car snapping photos with lightning flashing all around. The nearest funnel cloud was very, very near. I was so excited! My son said to me (something like): "Ya know, Mom - maybe we shouldn't be standing out here in the middle of all of this lightning, with three funnels headed our way, and a giant propane tank right next to us. Just sayin'."

Found a couple of the photos. None of 'em show all three at once. Bummer.

Now I am starting to wonder about you, LOL. I only ever saw one tornado and that was when I was a kid and spent a summer in south central Indiana. That was enough for me. We did have an F1 here in south Jersey a few eeks ago about 10 miles from me. Just some tree limbs and a deck went down, so not much of a tornado, unless it was your deck I guess.

SandySu, our weather here has become a lot more extreme over the last few years. Tornados in this area are becoming quite common. Fortunately this place has never been in the path of one.
