She's so cute! Being a chow mix, does she have a black tongue like a chow does?
nope, she actually still has a pink tongue, and her ears are floppy, about the only chow thing she has is the face and the fluff, her ears are chow ears minus the floppy though.

Yeah, Basilor, getting all those delicious baked goods is rough!!!! Maybe you could send a few to my house. PM me, I'll give you my address:)

Took that cute little horsey out and walked him, took him up the road a little ways. He didn't shy on me once!!! Even when little Molly the neighbor's dog came out and sat by the fence. He did give the hairy eyeball when Maybelle the lab was barking but he didn't get goofy and I slowed him down, rubbed him and petted him, got him to do a few circles, a back up or two. He and I were so relaxed for the most part and I felt good about me maintaining a calm sense even when he seemed a little edgy. Yee Haw!! I'm going to be horse woman yet.

When we got back to the pen we had a nice snuggle session. He snuffled my winter hat and breathed in my scent gently. He has such warm and grassy breath. I got him a little senior feed and I waited until he put his ears forwards, then I set the dish down and let him have at it.

I love that furry little critter.

And you thought Wiseguy didn't like you! I'm sooo glad that the two of you are bonding. You really needed that reaffirmation. He already knew he loved YOU!!!

I love it!!!! :thumbs:

Hehe, just waking up. Already been on the phone to 2 women in the first hour / cup of coffee.....not fair. My Mom & a friend. Brain is still processing....so good morning everyone!

It's not easy being the only "kid" left in town. (Well born in '61, am I still a "kid"?....ya). So, I have to bear the burden of being the target of Mom's holiday baking frenzy. It's up to me to free up freezer space for her.....

So far this year, I have had to endure 2 Banana Nut Bread loafs, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Chocolate Zuccini Bread, Poppyseed rolls, 2 gallon ziploc bags stuffed with tollhouse cookies, and she just informed me she is making one more Chocolate Zuccini bread loaf....it's tough being me folks!

For DIY I try to keep it simple. I have a plastic beaker I got from WL that I keep the syringe and some nic base (1/4" or so) covered with aluminum foil.

I bought enough pipettes (15¢ ea) that I have one for each flavor.

Strawberries & Cream, Peaches and Cream, Orange Sickle, RY4 Type 1 are the bulk of my main mixes. They are all mixed at about 15%.

So, when I need more, here is what I do. Pull out the beaker, grab the 1 ml pipette & flavor. Use the pipette to suck up a little more than .75 flavor, put it in the bottle first. Then use the syringe to suck up about 4.25ml base liquid squirt it in the bottle. Shake for a minute, done. If, like yesterday, I want to make say 15ml, just repeat the above 3 times. Easy peasy.

I do add a touch of sweetner (bout 3-5 drops per 5ml) to the RY4 Type 1.

For my amazing red hot cinnamon, I do the above and just add about 7 drops pre-mixed 10% menthol per 5ml. I could probably mix any of these in under 2 minutes, probably 1 minute, from start to finish.

I like knowing exactly what is in my ejuice, knowing I have plenty of stock for little cost, and never having to worry about my vendor being out of my flavor in my nic level, or the mail being slow. Just wish I could recreate the Bluehoney from vape Dudes.

Have a great day!

Mark

Yeah! It really sounds like quite a burden. How do you stand such neglect? :laugh:

just placed the rest of my start up order! Sper excited. I ordered one of the holiday batteries to vape on Christmas morning! haha.

This second order was more of a Christmas gift from the wife, got the v2 pcc and the battery. She loves me! (most days >.>)
Been playing with the family's brand new puppy for most of the morning (I say the family's but let's be honest, I do everything in regards to taking care of her, so, mine! haha) She's a chow mix, 12 weeks old a "brindle" color, or in lamen's terms, black white and gold. will post a picture later if anyone wants to see her!
Basilor, Thanks for all that information, I'll definitely PM you when i start feeling comfortable enough to start mixing my own liquids, How did that raspberry banana split come out? was it as amazing as i think?! <.<

Please post and what is the little powderpuff's name? I can't wait!! :)

Came from the doctor and he was shocked and could not believe that I gave up smoking. Not only that but he embraced the e-cig and didn't have any problems with the nicotine level. When I told him that I dropped from 24mg to 12mg in 3 months, his response was "Already? That's fast.." Then I was the one who was shocked.

The added good news... lost 23 pounds, BP was the lowest it has been in YEARS. AND depending on the results of the blood tests, he will discontinue my cholesterol meds and reduce my pressure medicine.

I'm dancing on a CLOUD!!!! :rickroll:

Amazing, Joanne!!!! Wowee. All that from vaping instead of smoking. Fantastic. You'll have to let us know if he okays lowering your meds.

I know, right? It has to be the result of vaping. That is the only thing that has really changed. I walk more, have more energy and one of my biggest fears about stopping the cigs was gaining weight. Weight gain kept me smoking. Everyone I knew who stopped smoking by using other methods gain a LOT of weight. Oh no, I was determined. Now if I want sweets, I vape sweet. No calories. Best of both worlds.

Hey Volties!!

I know - I've been MIA for quite awhile. *sigh*

Just so that you good folks know: Bluesman is going in for open heart surgery - double bypass. As if he hasn't had enough troubles, right? He'll be admitted tomorrow, but the surgery will be Thursday. Please keep him in your thoughts. If you're one that prays, please do that for him. I'm sure he would appreciate it. *double sigh*

Hopefully, I'll be back soon with good news instead of bad.

I love you folks and miss you terribly ... :cry:

We have missed you too Raven, and I for one will say some prayers for Bluesman. Hasn't he been through enough? Great guy to chat with. Debra stayed up into the weeeeeee hours in Oz chatting away, she couldn't sleep, so I don't expect she will be on until late tonight. As I type it is 8:00 AM in Australia, but she did not get into bed until after 3:00 AM last night. Catch you all much later tonight.

PS: Great news JoAnn, my Dr. said the same thing and marked me down as a non-smoker.

I'm so glad to hear from you, Rave, but sorry it's under such circumstances. I'll be continually sending get-well vibes Blues's way. How are you doing? I hope you're feeling better and will be joining us again.

And, HEY!, be nice; don't let all that awesome, intoxicating power:D go to your head!!!

Damn, Raven. That truly stinks. Will pray for Blues; I'm betting God isn't finished with him, yet.

Thanks SandySu and everyone else as well. I'm sure that Blues will appreciate the good vibes and prayers. He's had way more than his fair share of bad luck and health issues. It would be awfully nice to see that turn around for him.

I'm okay SandySu. There's this whole brain/leg relationship which seems to be hinky right now. Inotherwords, I'm having trouble walking.

Rave, I'm sorry you're still having problems. Being one of the self-appointed music video mavens here, I dedicate this piece of silliness to you and Blues (and anyone else in need). I hope it cheers you up. The Official "Get Well Soon!" Song - YouTube
