Good Morning and Chit Chat Thread

[Iowa Gal]

((Kitty)) I hope you ankle gets better soon. I had to laugh, have some chili in the freezer that I've been so hungry for but can't convince hubby we need to have it for dinner when it's 90-100 outside We are suppose to cool down over the weekend so maybe I'll get my chili then.

I've been trying samples to find some I really love. I tried Bed of Roses, Blue Violet & Going Bananas. I'm not too crazy about the Banana, it just doesent seem to have enough flavor. Blue Violet was my favorite and I also like Bed of Roses - but realized that I really prefer dessert type flavors. So, I recieved my order of 6 samples yesterday and I uncapped them last night to let them steep. I noticed there were different dates on them, so I'm going to try the oldest one tonight. I just can't wait to try them!

Be sure to shake the Going Bananas flavor well before use. Some flavors tend to separate more than others and this is one of them so if you don't shake you may get more or less flavor than if equally distributed. I actually recently fell in love with this flavor all over again so I highly recommend it! If you just want more flavor, don't hesitate to request an extra shot be added when you order (in the notes section). We are also always happy to add another shot for you any time. Just mail the bottle back to us and be sure to VERY CLEARLY mark that you are returning it for an extra flavor shot to be added and then the bottle returned to you. Clearly marking really helps us out as we often get packages that have no instructions or order number (sometimes not even a name!) and it can be quite a time consuming challenge to figure out what we need to do! Hope this helps!

Hey guys just checking in. Very rough weekend for me thought we were going to loose my dad for sure, but things have turned for the better and we should get him home again soon. We are all well aware the days are numbered...just wasn't time yet.

Oh, Iowa Gal, my prayers for your dad and for you! I lost my dad quite suddenly and without warning a few years ago and it was so terribly, terribly difficult. It is a blessing to be able to be prepared for it, to say good bye and to give all the love you can during the time you have left together. Big hugs to you and know that you and your father are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[Iowa Gal]

Thank Annette...I agree having time to spend together makes it much easier. It's still hard not to feel like your twelve years old though when in the situation.

 

[Annette Rogers]

Good morning!

 

[sugarbritches]

Thanks Annette that's good to know about adding flavor. It was just a sample size so it's almost gone. I just recieved 6 new samples to try, so excited. I tried the Butter Cream Mint last night and OMG it is so good. This time I ordered sweeter flavors which I prefer and can't wait to try them all.

Good afternoon! I'm just doing a fly-by...ankle is worse today. Off to doctor in a bit. LOL I'll probably be his first patient ever to say "I injured my ankle in my sleep".

 

[Annette Rogers]

I suspect Kitty Jr.! Hope you feel better soon, Kittypie! Big hugs, as ALWAYS!

I just re-ordered Drunk Pirate and Kona Milkshake. I had them in my sampler pack. Yum! At first I did not like Drunk Pirate...then it grew on me till I had to have more!!! I noticed that there is no place to order an extra flavor shot, which is what I wanted in both. How do I go about that for my next order?

Your Order ID is: #44723

Hey All,
I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I'm stuffed full of pierogies and cabbage rolls....Polishfest was on in our hood this weekend. I even managed a polka with an older gentleman who seemed to think I was his son's girlfriend! It was a nice break from the mess the house has become in it's half-packed state.

Kitty...how's your ankle? What did the Doc say? I think Annette's right .. it was probably Kitty Jr.

Gotahorse...Welcome! Just write a note saying what you want in the space provided and ...voila! The good people at VV will make it so. I have got to try that Drunken Pirate Pudding. Next order...

 

[Gotahorse]

Thanks Lou P.

Happy Monday?

What an odyssey I've been through over the last week or so. Turns out my gout has manifested in a new joint...the ankle! Painkillers to knock me out, and steroids...ever had steroid brain? Dis kitty (still) has!

One sister was released from the hospital last week (it's such a blur now, I don't even remember what day it was!). She came over Friday afternoon to "help" me and that lasted until the first sign that I might be feeling better, when she suddenly developed acute, crippling back pain so guess who had to take care of whom?

Then another sister (the one who turned me on to vaping) was admitted to the hospital yesterday with a severe case of pneumonia and pleurisy. Her chest x-ray this morning was no better, but at least it wasn't worse; however, her white count has increased and they are pumping her full of all sorts antibiotics and fluids and stuff. She has multiple other medical issues including ankylosing spondylitis which complicate matters quite a bit.

There's even more, but I shall spare you.

I know, boo hoo, blah blah blah, but it's just been tough, you know? I KNOW you do...but this too shall pass, right? At least I have an EVOD full of well-steeped, delicious KCM!

I apologize for my absence, and I have some PMs to reply to today, and lots of other catching up to do.

OK, big group kitty hug for all the struggles we are all facing in our lives. (Or doggie kisses, if you're a dog person!)

Good morning everyone. I filled up my evod this morning with vanilla Blackberry swirl and then after about 15 minutes I went to put it away in my case while at work and instead of unscrewing the battery from the evod I unscrewed the head. Now my pants are covered in juice and none in my evod. I smell really good, blackberries yum, but now I want a vape but have to wait til I get home because I didn't bring any more with me.

 

[Angiebubs]

KittyPie-So sorry to hear about your past week! When it rains it pours...so I am crossing my fingers the worst is behind you and you and yours are on the road to getting better!! Speaking of KCM-this is one I was kinda so so on. But with steeping? OMG....new favorite! It is so totally different when steeped! And I swear it has a smoky/tobacco flavor to it too.

Sugarbritches: LOL That sounds like something I would do (and have done!) Good thing these juices smell so fantastic (and no cig smells anymore!)

Oh man, BUMMER! However, I'm sure every single one of us has done something similar...but still! I hope you are home by now and vaping happy.

I've done that before myself..now I just make sure I'm looking at the ego/evod when I want to change flavors or fill it up. Now I hope you also realize after today that you never leave the house with just one evod

 

[LouP]

Good Morning Everyone,

Yup....sugarbritches, I did that with a vivi nova full of Plum Crazy last summer....except that I accidentally poured it out all over some guys bike seat. Oops... If you're going to smell of juice then Blackberry Vanilla Swirl is the way to go...soo good.

Oh Kitty....kitty, kitty, kitty.... Yes, this too shall pass. I hope for your sake, sooner rather than later. Big Hugs to you!! You tried the cherry juice, didn't you? Maybe in pill form?

So I'm cleaning out the pantry yesterday and, as I'm reaching in to the very back, a box of cereal suddenly shoots off the shelf above me landing on my head followed by a furious scrambling and squeaking. By the time I recovered, the Mega Mouse had vanished.

Have a Great Day All

 

[kittypie]

Good morning, all you wonderful VVers!

I'm going for an extended lunch hour today to take some comfort items to my sister who is still in the hospital. They are taking good care of her, but I'm sure many if not all of you know how hard it is to actually get comfortable and get some rest when hospitalized, unless they knock you out. Gum, socks, and a donut pillow. NO, not for 'rhoids, but to try and relieve some of the pressure off of her sacroiliac (I think that means her tailbone)...she has multiple stress fractures there from her AS. I cannot believe the hospital doesn't have donut pillows!

Eeeeek, LouP!


How is everyone else today? Whatcha vapin'? This morning I am puffing on an EVOD full of Crème Caramel. Mmmmmmmm!

 

[Annette Rogers]

I hope your sis feels better soon, Kitty!

We're running around trying to get ready for Vapefest and the Emmys. Vapefest is Friday and Saturday and the Emmy giveaway is ALSO on Saturday so...well, you can imagine! We're waiting on a huge order of 15 new designs of sparkly, bling batteries but I don't know if they're going to make it in time. Fingers crossed!

 

[kittypie]

Annette, we want (demand) to know what you'll be wearing to the Emmys!?!?!?!?! So exciting!

I made my comfort delivery to my sis yesterday. She said she was feeling a bit better...and I know it was true because she was vaping! And yes, they are letting her vape in the hospital. Nice, huh? She finally got a good night's sleep last night. Hopeful for a good chest x-ray and better white count today so she can look forward to getting out of there.

I hope everyone has a good day! I'll be back later!
