For all of us animal lovers

I agree ... I always have to wonder about people who are not loving and affectionate toward animals.
My version of mahjong has different tile designs and different backgrounds you can choose. Some I find hard to see, even w/o eye surgery, but I chose ones with fruits and vegetables and a background that looks like pale blue sky with wisps of cloud. Mine also plays classical music while you do the game. Of course, you can turn the music off, if you'd rather not hear it.
I have several different versions, but the one I like the most has different types of tiles. I have eye issues as well, so I find the "Americanized" version that uses letters, numbers & animal pictures the easiest. Plus I can size the screen to make the tiles bigger. I've tried to play on my iPod, but the tiles are just too tiny on that device.
Whisper and I had a great day! I aired up the tires on the bike and put Whisper in her carrier and started off to the dog park. We got on the freeway and quickly was at a dead stop for an accident of some sorts. I couldn't get a clear opening to split the lanes safely, so we crawled along with the traffic. Car after car had their windows down with camera phones out taking pictures of Whisper on the bike. She was a good pup and usually looked their way so they could get a good picture of her. Even a trucker behind me was taking pictures!
The dog park was busy. The warm day brought us all out and there were a lot of playmates for Whisper. She ran around the park with a high step. She always gets a bit more cocky when she arrives on the motorcycle. We stayed for over an hour until I had to get her home so I could run to the grocery store in the car. I stopped at a car wash and ran a vacuum through the car. I had dropped my ashtray (full of course) between the seats a couple of months ago. My nose finally started picking up the stench! I guess I didn't do a very good job getting all the butts up when I initially dropped it and it seemed like the majority of what I was sucking up were ashes and butts! I sprayed it with some cigarette smell remover stuff and just about asphyxiated myself! Now I have to detail the car. Why oh why did I let myself smoke in it? Peeuuuwww!
Glad you had such a good time at the dog park!
And a big ick -- I know what you're saying about those well-aged cigarette butts & ashes in the vehicles. My sis & BIL still smoke, so I generally just suffer in silence. But I don't clean ashtrays for them, no, not gonna happen.
(Picking jaw off floor) 3 months! a: what juice are you using? is it dark. or light? b: how do clean yours?
I use my turkey baster to clean mine. It's fast and efficient. I cut the end off one of the condoms. Shove that onto the end of the baster about half-way up the condom. Put the carto into the condom (about half way). Then I fill a bowl with really hot water. Suck water in through the condom. Push it out into the sink. I do that 5 or 6 times, and they come out incredible clean. You might have to do it a few extra times for darker juices. Then I suck air in a few times to help remove more of the water. I store the now-clean cartos in a bowl full of rice (with a lid). They're usually dry in about 36-48 hours.
I've seen the same general method used on a 20-30ml syringe (without the needle attached) as well, but my experience was that the condom always flew off the end from the pressure. If you want to sacrifice the syringe, you could glue the condom on -- again only about halfway up.
I have a carto dedicated to each flavor (around 25 flavors right now), so I don't have to clean very often. But I can verify that this method works well and takes hardly any time.
This seems apropos to our conversation today!

I spent many an hour using this as a kid. I loved it.
Just sitting here this afternoon, watching playoff football games and vaping 5 or 6 differrent mixed juces I have made and I am plesantly suprised that my concoction I call Tobacco 5 is quite good. My peach was a little strong, so I added two drops of orange and WOW, Orange Peach is great. In addition, I vape EC Blends Black Magic as my every day vape and just could not discover that illusive taste until today. It is Apricot definately apricot. I will order some as soon as Wizard Labs opens again, or call them and add it to an order they already are working on. I can't wait until my Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate formula is perfected. It is not blended sufficiently so that you taste both. What I want is Reeces Peanut Butter Cup flavor.
For those of you starting DIY, I guess the advice is keep trying, don't give up, let things steep and test, test, test.
Signing off for this evening because Baltimore Ravens and New England Patroits game is comming on soon.
Go Ravens
Enjoy your game, Rabbit. & TY again for the updated group photo. I agree on the DIY -- don't give up. Sometimes it takes only a minor adjustment to make an awesome vape. Plus it's individualized just for you.
SandySu - this is the iced branches taken w/ just the light of the yard light. I liked the sparkles!
This was interesting. Kiddo saw the baby hunkered down in the grass off our driveway. He thought it was abandoned so he brought it home to ask hubby how to feed it! I was concerned his scent would cause momma to reject him! But I did run for the camera first!
Awesome pics!! What an adorable little baby.
