I am not even CLOSE to OCD,,,,,,,,nothing bothers me LOL,,,,,,,,I'd probably vape that watermelon coffee combo without blinking LOL
You mean misery like Kathy Bates in Misery? I loved her in that! :)

Blue paint from painting guest room five years ago...trashed.


Orange paint...bright yellow paint from stunning office shelving created from old cabinets....thrown away. That job was finished 2 years ago.

The paint my friend gave me when she moved 2 years ago...outta here. She must have had in her garage for 4 years before that. And the colors were ugly. I used all the exterior paint so I'm definitely ahead money wise. I'm letting it go.

Two cans of spray paint with about 3 drops in them...in the bin. Don't tell Hubby. He'll never know. He hasn't used them in the three or so years they have been in that cabinet.

The little wooden rack that was way cheesier than I thought it would be when I ordered it out of the catalog...firewood, baby!!!! I've tried using all over the house with no luck and now it is all over for the rack.

Oh yeah, and I actually got the dusting done. I windexed the glass and mirrors AND the inside of the windows. That just leaves me with the big jobs like the bathrooms and the kitchen floor and rugs.

Hey, Holly, I made a 10% Strawberries and Cream [TFA] with 5% ethyl malto that is delicious. My second try at Asian RY4 isn't bad either.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Can you imagine being a patient in a hospital,be watching that and a nurse come in and hand you your meds?

How about going to the movies to watch "Hospital" with george C. Scott, then getting in an accident and ending up in the hospital on the way home.

I have the regular Kindle, not Kindle Fire.

I just ordered Prime & have actually thought about it over the last couple years. I went to my Amazon account, looked at all my past orders, and saw that I spend more than that for shipping every year. So it made sense to me to get it just to get the free shipping. I've shopped at Amazon for years for things like family birthday & holiday gifts. I just hate going shopping, so I do it online.

I wouldn't get it just for the Kindle library, though, because you can only check out 1 book per month. Not worth it if that's the only reason you're getting it.

I agree. I have the kindle keyboard 2nd generation... had it since 2010. Don't get prime unless you intend to do a lot of Amazon shopping. I have had my amazon account since forever but my purchasing has reduced in the last couple of years. Now I mainly order kindle books which now is well over 1,000 books. It is "said" that this kindle holds 3600 books. I'm not at that number yet but it had slowed down with 1,000 books. I recently archived some books that I know that I won't get to for a while and the speed picked up greatly.

With that said, Amazon offers a lot of free books that you can check out. Also if you know someone with a kindle and they have a book that you might be interested in, you can borrow it from them for 14 days. That's a great feature that I have used several times with a friend of mine. If a book sounds interesting to you but you are not sure if you would like it, you can download a sample. It normally is the first chapter. My advice, get a kindle... YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!! If you think you will be ordering a variety of things from Amazon, then get prime too. :)

I watched Titanic on tv in our room while on a carribean cruise. We were headed for Puerto Rico. No port stops for the whole day. That's being a glutton for punishment!

Good point JoAnn, a lot of library systems also have ebooks and some of them have them in kindle format. Also there are sites online that list kindle freebies. You can also look in the discussions areas on amazon, folks will list free and cheapness there too.

JoAnn, I went to see The Birds while vacationing in Port Clinton, in a cabin on Lake Erie. After seeing the movie I started to flinch whenever the gulls were flying about over me, which was pretty much all the time.

OMG you and my Mother. Neither of you have tastebuds.

LOL! But that probably describes me, too, except my reason is usually frugality (I prefer that to cheapness). Over the years I've obtained a lot of samples that I detested, but I made them vapable by mixing them with watermelon or vanilla cream. Sometimes I don't bother rinsing the clearo out when I refill with a different flavor.

Wow, you have been busy busy busy !!

I'm getting ready to place my 1st order with Wizard Labs. The strawberry cream sounds good, but have you noticed any "perfumey" or floral notes to it?

No perfumey notes. Don't get boysenberry. I had to mix it with several items to get the edge off the perfumey taste with boysenberry.

Strawberries and cream is delicious but I suggest you do get the ethyl maltose so you can put a little sweetner into it if you want to.
