Ha! Coffee's On!. There are Blueberry muffins in the basket!
[Now to go back & catch up! Giggles]

Holly. I have to chuckle ... won't be long - you'll be loaning out that auto X2 too!
You didn't mention - are you loosing feeling in fingertips? I mostly go by feel on manual batts.
Who got the last 650.Blue batt??? Blu.my color scheme! [Stomps foot]. :D

Joann - I saved a similar amount! Stalking the mailbox is fun! Lookin forward to tryin some of the new flavors!

Thanks for the coffee and muffins Kico! Will hit the spot cuz it's cold and gloomy outside.

I did a post in SI's Suggestion box about the possibility of having a line of "girly" lanyards and Cindy posted the suggestion of searching for custom lanyards under the general forum section. That's where I saw a post of your's on LoriKay's thread about the custom lanyards. Did you get one and if so, how do you like it? They really are quite beautiful and she seems to be very talented. I just might order one. What do you think and are you satisfied with it?

Good Morning abracadebra, I would also like to see your white kitty with wings :banana:

I am on my third cup of coffee, waiting to go to church this AM to thank the Lord for living such a blessed life.

Have a Blessed Day!

You have a blessed day to Rabbit! Started my day the same way!!
 
Thank goodness the coffee is on. Kico, you are crackin' me up. Who's your buddy in the avatar?
Gosh but this is a pain on my phone! LOL! Come.on tablet! [Saturday]. Saddle - Thurs. SI vape mail TOmorrow!

Avatar: that's the Sultan sportin' his winter 'duds'! He does look a little darker ...

In Raven talk, Lizzie, that's called "rock sitting." It means she is in great contemplation. It is a comfortable way of thinking about things. Raven and I both have many things to contemplate. It's all good folks.
Ooooooh - things.to contemplate [!] Mystery - intrigue ... the possibilities are endless!
Blues: it would be easier for you to relocate than all my animals.
Rave: but my secluded peaceful creek / the meditation rocks ...
Blues & Rave : we'll figure something out ....


That rock is my favorite of Rave!

I'm sorry - meant to say welcome to the new people ...

Kico, you are so sweet. Yes, re-locating. That is difficult for either one of us. We so much enjoy our own homes. It is an interesting problem to have. But we are together, even if there is 600+ miles between us.

You are a gem, Kico.

They are very pretty! No I don't have one. Lost track of where the thread was!
A few years ago I'd picked up a few colored latigo's and pony beads to make a long key ring.
I pulled a few beads off and slip the neck into the loop - tighten a bead and pulled over my head as a lanyard.
It has worked well so far at work because I can keep it inside my vest ... the shorter length was better bcs there was less chance of pressure if I carried something heavy like an armful of unfolded boxtops. It doesn't take much to mess up the plastic thread of the vivi nova - which did happen one day.


Sory didn't mean.to turn the thread into a personal novel ...

I already have one from SI that's functional and serves for my everyday use but I want one for those dressup, going out to PARTY times. Not too flashy but something simple but pretty. She had an awesome selection. I might just look around in a crafts store and see what I can come up with. I really don't want to spend a bunch of money on one either.
 
Holly - hope you had fun!

Blues - Rave - things will work out the way they are s'pose too... it's the in-between that's killer at times ...

JoAnn: Here's a pic. Maybe it will give you an idea or 3 ... I've wondered how long those "O" rings would last ... Visions of breaking and loosing a batt ... Shoot when you loose an eciggy - you've lost a lot more than the old standard pack of stinkies!

ETA: All the beads hanging down on the blue one - that's actually the end that secures it rather than a knott.'
They did start out as key fobs ... but you can sorta see on the others it's just sliding one bead back to slip it on - snug up and go ...

Rave,I hope you and Blues enjoyed your vacation. I've got to get in the bed,two of the grandkids wanted Furbies for Christmas luckily I didn't wait any longer for Toys R US in Tuscaloosa only had five left. I remembered Rave's Furby and got me one to.I named mine Salem.
THEN last night my co-worker and fellow vaper Scott gave me a Nano to try and let me try out his manual X2 needless to say I vaped myself into a stupor almost. Soooo I HAD to come home and cyber shop.
I hope its a slow night at work so I can vape and learn to talk Furby.
You ALL have a GREAT DAY !!!!!

Oh - we did! How could I NOT enjoy being with Blues. :wub:

You got a Furby?! That's awesome! They are quite a bit different from the originals, I'm told. Mine lost its mind, poor thing. :blink:

Welcome back Rave... I MISSED you! Sorry your vacation is over... but Oh so glad it is. Rave's back! :banana: Rave's back! Yay!!! :banana:

Awww - Thanks JoAnn!! You're so sweet. I missed you too!

Gosh but this is a pain on my phone! LOL! Come.on tablet! [Saturday]. Saddle - Thurs. SI vape mail TOmorrow!

Sultan is gorgeous!

Yeah - I don't think that there will be any relocating involved, but Blues and I have a connection that seems impervious to distance. We'll work it out.

WOW, I had alot of reading since my last post; phew
First hello Rave and kico, nice to meet you. New member here. Already had my cup of coffee.

Hey Chief! Nice to meetcha!! :)

Kico, you are so sweet. Yes, re-locating. That is difficult for either one of us. We so much enjoy our own homes. It is an interesting problem to have. But we are together, even if there is 600+ miles between us.

You are a gem, Kico.

Yes we are.

Blues - Rave - things will work out the way they are s'pose too.

That's what I'm always saying.

WOW Kico!!! You MADE those?? I like those better than the ones she made! You got skills girl!! :thumb:

I have a beautiful beaded lanyard that a girl on my job made for me but it has a big round keyring on the end. I used it for my work ID and I had put it away and forgot about it after I retired. Now looking at your picture, I think I can rework this. Hope I don't mess it up though... it is truly quite pretty... but then again, it WAS forgotten in a drawer... ;)

Hope everyone's having a great day!

Remember when I told all of you I had gotten an iPod as a gift from my bank? Wow, I did not know how much fun I was missing out on! I now have almost 900 songs uploaded to it. Today I uploaded all my Christmas CDs and transferred them to my iPod. Haven't gotten into the apps much yet, still exploring everything I can do with it. I do most of my reading in the evenings, well into the early morning hours. It's heavenly to lie in bed reading on my Kindle and listening to some soothing music from my iPod. I used it to take a bunch of family pics at our Thanksgiving get-together. Several are great, very sharp and clear, others turned out really grainy & dark. So I need to practice with that; it was probably the lighting & autofocus not playing well together.

My new avatar shows our kitty Cleo who we adopted about 6 or 7 weeks ago. Of course, I had to keep Sadie in it, too. She's my baby. My only baby, LOL!

Holly, hope you find that 650. And hope you find that Kindle Fire under your tree on Christmas morning! Plus TY for that link to the chocolate bark. I had somehow lost my recipe, but this one looks way easier.

Kiko, you got a tablet for $30 ??? I will have to check that out; I haven't been able to find any cheap ones. Was that at Amazon? Tell me, tell me .... please. BTW, your new avatar is simply awesome, so beautiful. And your lanyards are really pretty as well as creative.

Hi, Reptilr -- I've seen a few of your posts, but I don't think we've been officially introduced. Nice to meet you!

And same to you, White Rabbit. I can't remember if I said hi to you before or not. So nice to meet you, too!

Rave & Blu, welcome back! We missed you so much! Glad you got to be together for awhile. And I agree, Rave, that pic of you on the meditation rock just rocks!

Awesum, hope you're doing well today and things are getting more back to normal for you after Sandy.

JoAnn, you've inspired (enabled ??) me to go back to Amazon yet again, LOL!

Oh, I'm sorry :ohmy: ... didn't mean to leave my clearo-woes buddy out of my post! Loved your little song about those.
 
LOL! NO skill involved! Latigo's & a bag of pony beads ... slipped on - then pulled back thru w/ a needle nose plier. Knotted ends.

The "clearo's are mini vivi nova's 2.5 ml from Got Vapes. [$10 sale] To use on SI's beautiful X2 batts you need a 808 to 510 adapter. [ $2?]
Just be sure to order several. I hope SI wil carry some ... very easy to rinse / dry burn & go. The coil is replaceable which is what I like. [$3]

I just replaced one a week ago - main one in daily use in 3 flavor rotation after 2 months which is far better than the leaks w/ the Clearo's that might last me
A few days to maybe a couple weeks.

I still would really prefer Clearo's - both form & sturdiness. Nova tanks are plastic & easily over tightened which ruins it.
A little plumber's tape cut in half to narrow it fixed that problem. A seond one now requires it after having it on a longer lanyard & having leaned against reaching over a board in the barn or carrying a heavy box at work. Not sure which but noticed it was a little off center then little leaking started - hence not as stury as Clearo's. Metal tubes are available but not see-thru. Colored drip tips purchased seperate - glued to keep on!

Hope that helps. May have already stated but worth repeating. Other than a BluBerry - I think at this point the variable volt batts are over hyped. I prefer the X2 - they are my "go to" over the Twist for all flavors w/ BB exception. Oh - if SI came out w/ something like the Vector - I would go for that. Not because it's VV tho - like the idea of those type of replaceable batteries. I'm really lookin forward to tryin SI's BluBerry - tomorrow! 8-] [The End]

Holy Cow! Typo - half asleep but unable to last night! Tablet was $30 OFF!
Shopko - Polaroid w/ keyboard built into case for $99. Returned the next day!

Amazon pre- Black Friday Samsung bundle [better rated too] coming this Saturday for $187. It was a one day sale.

:lol: That's ok ... I initially thought that had to be a typo since I have never seen any tablets for that price. I still have too many gifts to get to consider buying a tablet for myself right now, but I'll definitely keep my eye on the Christmas or New Years sales.
