Today, I ressurected a very old and underused IBM thinkpad. I've been trying to turn it into something I could actually use for the longest time. But no matter what version of windows I put on it (Even freaking '98) it always seemed to run annoyingly slow. But today, I decided why not Linux? So I spent most of my morning getting Linux Ibuntu Studio set up on this thing and voila... Perfect geek laptop! Runs like a dream!

3 cheers for us g33ks!

Good thing -- that BWB Malty Toffee definitely makes it to the all-day-vape category.
Bad thing -- no meetings at work today, it's 24 mg, I've been whacking away on it for almost 8 hours on my PT -- I could probably chase a squirrel up the side of a tree by now :) (High nic tolerance, but I'm not about to fall asleep right now)

Vchick can probably use your help with the squirrels in her yard ;)

Thank you for the help in the Wants stuff - the beakers should do fine since they are plastic; but then again the PO is not always known for being gentle. LOL

I love your reason for the edit; LMAO. I think the exact same thing.

Bottles - I have no idea. I guess it depends on how crazy I get with DIY. I could probably use a dozen or 2. I am happy to send some cash your way to help cover costs. Just let me know.

Did you want a dozen or 2 of each size? I noticed you were asking for 3 and 6ml bottles.

LOL @ getting a "rule violation"

I guess scammers are allowed to operate in classifieds

Did you see his post in the negative feedback thread? is he still a scammer... what are the thoughts on this????

I still decline to order from him. I think in the rules it says PIF stuff shouldn't end up in the classifieds.....

Nope I'm wrong, it says you can sell stuff you get on here.........................................

Maybe he's not a scammer, but its still not right.. Im over it though if thats what he wants to do, I hope karma catches up to him

edit: well apparently if he really did say" oh thank you i cant wait to give back to PIF"

then turns around and sells everything, never giving a PIF again..

I think its a scumbag move, but if no rules are broken then thats the end of it i guess

I just think that if you get it in PIF and don't want it, or don't like it, it should be returned to the same pond.... Gotten here, didn't like, putting it back for others who may need/want it.... but that's just my opinion. I know the rules say differently, but it just seems wrong. And I like the memeber who gave so much, she's a great part of the PIF family, and yep that's all I have so I'll shut it now.... :p

Beakers really are handy for mixing. USP is interesting, the shipping stays at whatever, until you cross a magic threshold, then jumps a bunch. If I have to order from them, the goal is to just max out on stuff until it takes the jump.

Heh, well, I found the magic number.

Didn't matter how I did it with the boston rounds but the second the total broke $25, the shipping jumped up. Ended up with 6-10ml, 48-6ml, and 66-3ml. That better last a bit or I'm going to be quite unhappy with myself.

RU, just let me know how much you want of what. May want to do that one in PM so I don't lose it.

Good job :) Thing is, if you do stay under the limit, the shipping isn't all that bad. 120 bottles, something like 5 (maybe 6) shipping, only adds 4 - 5 cents on the unit cost. The 100 15 ml beakers, plus whatever 6 ml I could squeeze in came in just at the limit.

As far as PIF in general, I think of a PIF as just that, a forward of things, putting it on the table for whoever wishes to pick it up. The PIFfer builds good karma by putting something out there that another may use. The PIFfee does whatever. Not a Need, or a Want, which are recipient oriented. That's how I look at it. The Treasures thread is even a purer form, in that the giver hasn't first accepted something, instead simply has something they wish to give another if that person would like it.

That's what attracted me to this area -- some threads that are really about purely trying to help others succeed at something that has helped us, when we can. It's good for the soul. An occasional miscue is just that, a blip.

Ahh, well, I've been getting paid the last hour to twiddle my thumbs -- waiting for an e-mail so I can generate a purchase request. On the bright side -- happy dance -- found out I'm carrying capp smooth, can switch to 12 mg sweet stuff to mellow out.

(zbasspro turned me on to the little ziplocs from Wally World -- really, really, handy)
