All that happens on the 8th is age verification. The next thing is that all e-liquid makers have to register as tobacco manufacturers by 12/31. That's when things will get really carpy. Unless we get a hail mary out of legislation or the lawsuits. I'm praying over here.

And good morning!

OMG, now I have to go to a Packer's game this year. They have concession stands dedicated to bacon! Look what they are serving:

Good after noon! I'm in and out again!!! Hope everyone is fine. I wanted to share my proud mommy moments. Emily was set to go to med school in Kirkland MO, about a month ago, she received a call from the University of Des Moines. She started med school in Des Moines on Tuesday!!! I'm so happy that she is in Des Moines, we have Bret's family there - and they have been awesome in helping her get a few necessities for her apartment (bed, dresser, desk & chair), she found the desk and chair via craigslist or a consignment store. Took it over to her uncle's house and used that chalk paint and refinished both pieces. I'm so proud of her. Austin finally found a job, he is one of the operators at the University of San Diego. He is full time until fall and then will drop to 13 hours a week. This is his description of the job: "I get paid to watch movies, play video games and occasionally answer the phone. Perfect job for studying - he has a class right now, so he studies at work. LOL

Sorry I'm not on her much. I'm battling it out with the vendor who after 5 months still has yet to send me back a product I ordered that didn't work. I've had a ticket open with them since 4/3/16. I emailed them again last night, gave them until the close of business day today, if it is not resolved I will write it up in the Vendors forum. They are a good company, I've been buying my Vivi Novas there for several years. Its all too weird. Plus they will not take phone calls. Sigh.

Good news, I'm going home!!! Off to MN on the 18th, pick up rental car, drive to Des Moines. On the 19th, Emily's White Coat Ceremony. Stay a visit until early the 22nd and then head to MN until the 29th. I'm totally ready for a good relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, hubby may get called and have to cut his vacation short - too much going on at work and he NEEDS a relaxing vacation.

It's been quite boring here. Same ol' stuff, different day. The doctor said my ruptured ear drum is healing up nicely and that it sometimes takes two to three months to completely heal. We do however think there is some permanent hearing damage on the right. I can still hear quite well out of the left and some out of the right so no biggie really. School started back here today. We'll start school with Morgan in a couple of weeks. Alex still goes to class four days a week! :banana: Morgan helps me at work a good bit. The jerk boyfriend of Jordan hasn't been allowed to come back in the shop.....yet. It'll happen sometime soon I'm sure. He drops her off for work and then goes and does whatever while she tries to rush through as fast as she can to be able to leave. Her mom scheduled her three today but when the third one got there she balked about having to do another dog so the other groomer did it. I already had a schnauzer and a deshed on an over weight chocolate lab. Super sweet dog but a bit on the hefty side. Took me and Morgan both straining to pick her up and get her in the tub. I strained so hard I got dizzy. :laugh: ThankfAully she'll stay put when you're bathing her and jumps out on her own when you tell her to.

Apollo won't stop growing. He's not overweight by any means. He's all muscle. You can tell when you see pics of him. He's right about 8 months old now and weighs in at 75 pounds. :shock: He doesn't have that lanky puppy look at all. He skipped right over that. He's got the personality of a clown. Silly, silly dog! This past week he did start showing a bit of protectiveness. Not aggression at all but definite protectiveness. I don't know what he heard but he let out this deep bark and his hackles went up. He is not a barker so when he barks there is a reason. He does however talk. I've never heard anything like it coming out of any other dog before. It sounds like cross between a monkey and a baby. :laugh:

I hope everyone is doing good. It's supposed to cool off a bit here next week. Looking forward to that.

Happy Birthday Rick!!!!

We don't know yet. That's the scary part. We've made it past the first two hurdles, now a biggie comes up. Yuck.
The first one was child resistant caps that have documentation. We've had the caps for years and just had to get the manufacturer to send us the paperwork. Done.
Then the age verification, which was a bit harder. We finally finished that up last night. Whew, done.
From what I can understand of the legal double speak in the deeming, once we are registered as a tobacco supplier we must be open to surprise inspections to be sure we meet the standards required. They don't tell us what those standards are, so who knows. We already do a clean room for mixing, hopefully that's what they will be looking for. I have no clue what is in store for us tax wise, I'm sure that's the biggest part of it. UGH. Perhaps they will tell us before 12/31, perhaps not. I hate not feeling informed so that I can be prepared. UGH.

Love the potato..It is a potato right? Just swooping (notice the bird lingo?) I have a parrot..more on that later...Anyway,Thank You FV for making the special this week HOUSE....MMMMM, the week before the government imposes the most ridiculous law since the old Alabama law of not allowing Dominoes to be played on Sunday. So we have to upload a picture of ourselves..Hahahaha and the last 4 digits of our social security number? Fabulous...Should we do the Hokey Pokey and turn ourselves around? Is that really what it's all about?
