My order arrived today
The Peach Green Tea is a WINNER !!!
(haven't tried the Tuscan Cocoa yet)
I am so excited that you like it! It’s fun finding new flavors to love too.
Ugh! I hope you heal up quickly. Battling dry skin here, I’ve found out that it gets bad if I don’t moisturize. It’s surprising how painful it can become. Ailments that have dry, cracking skin as a symptom are unpleasant for sure.
Here’s how it’s done! Too bad the FDA won’t allow us to change product names. That would make it a “new” product.

Sitting in the examination room, chatting with the nurse about vaping. Says her ex-boyfriend (who must be a fool) worked in an e-liquids lab, and later at a vape shop. I showed her this post when the subject of youth vaping came up.
She laughed out loud and thought it was great.
Today I change the transmission fluid in the John Deere, a job that I hate. The engineers placed the fill hole in the most awkward spot that could be found. I have a small funnel and a yard and one-half of hose wound through nooks and crannies so that the fluid can be poured in. Then the transmission is a slow drinker so I load some in and it has to sit for a while so that all that was poured in can percolate into the chambers of the transmission. It is a long, hot and physically painful job getting up, getting down twisting in ways no old guy should do. (I don't know that I have every been young enough for this.) Fortunately, given the hours between changes, this will most likely be my last fluid change.
I sympathize. Try this next time...

You can pick one up at just about any auto parts store or have your choice of dozens on Amazon.
Sadly, an ounce per pump is about what I need, it is a slow drinker and I would need to add a couple of feet to the thing but it would make life easier. I could use some fuel line to make it work. I may head north to the big city and see what O'Rielly's or Advance has, I am running out of steam - up, down, twist, curse.
It doesn't quite pump an ounce per pump. Something less. But still beats the hell out of jamming your body in a John Deere. You should be able to find something to extend the discharge tube. Fuel line or water line for refrigerator water dispenser or air line or something. Even Lowes/HD will probably have some clear tubing. Get the right size to replace the attached discharge tube altogether or a size that will press fit in or around the end of the attached discharge tube. You're gonna wreck yourself messing with a job like that. I know, been there done that.
That would work, I'm off to get a miracle of modern living. There is a lowe's near the auto parts store if I can't get a hose there.
We use every single thing available to us [emoji23][emoji23]do you use Cisco parts??? I run alot of Cisco parts to cell towers... and some of the places I go to are in the middle of "No Where"
Had a cut fiber in the middle of no where last week... Could be many dead bodies ...

Thank you for the description on the Virginia Spice. I've been vaping it all day long. I don't think I've had maduro cigar leaf before. Yes the Perique is something I remember. I loved the Louisiana Red, but never tried Anniversary Kake.Good Morning Army. Didn't make it to work today. Hands and feet are drying out so badly they are splitting open and the callous is drying up and flaking off. I can't even get my shoes on this morning. Walking is painful as it feels like I am walking with tiny sharp stones inside my shoes. And that's barefoot. Shoes make it worse.
Karen, the Home and Hearth Virginia Spice is a blend of tobaccos with Perique mixed in, and a touch of maduro cigar leaf added. The Perique is what you find familiar if you have ever tried Louisiana Red or Anniversary Kake.
Off to the Doctor's Office around noon. Haven't eaten since 8:00 last night, this getting old and going to doctors kinda sucks. Hopefully it's nothing serious. Walking is something I have taken for granted.

As far as hypothyroidism, you may be able to take supplements for that. You may not be getting enough iodine in your food, and you need iodine for your thyroid to work properly. I started taking iodine drops a few months ago. They are reasonably priced. Check out Liquid Iodine Plus by Life-flo. A whole bottle of it is less than five bucks. You only take 3 drops a day, and the bottle is an eyedropper bottle. I keep the bottle in the box.
For dry skin, it may help you to use less hot water in the shower/tub. Add moisturizer while your skin is a little damp. My daughter bought me a Burt's Bees Essential Burt Bee's Kit, and I love the foot cream especially. I love all of the 5 products in the kit. If your skin is cracking, you could get an infection. Do you drink at least a liter of water a day? I have to drink 2 liters a day, since I am prone to having kidney stones. I hope you don't have bone spurs in your feet, I hear they are very painful. I have arthritis in my feet, so I can relate on foot pain. Argan oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba and coconut oil are all good. The jojoba is nice because it soaks in quick and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. It also has a fairly long shelf life compared to some of the others. I used some of those things mentioned for my skin in the past. I have also used some essential oils to the moisturizers for an added benefit. Argan oil is very good, but the most expensive of that list.
The boys did great today. One of the babies played peek-a-boo with his brother. They both were grinning and laughing with each other because of it. The bigger twin is able to get around blinding fast now with his crawl. His brother decided that he was getting left behind, so he upped his game tremendously. The bigger boy spent a lot of time trying to crawl. The smaller boy wasn't trying as much until the past week, I guess. Now he moves around by pushing off with his feet mainly. He actually covers more ground that way. They both love to hear the sounds animals make. I read them a book with it, but they have a toy that also does the sounds. Today one of the boys heard the toy say the cow says moo, and the baby said MOO. So that was one of his first words. I was the first to hear it. I never tried to get him to say it right then, he just said it all on his own. The boys were playing with mini soccer balls. The other twin was trying to say ball. They are really doing stuff by leaps and bounds lately, and having a blast doing it. They like being able to do things, but they have decided naps get in the way of all the fun. That was the only bad thing about it.
Do get that sorted out Brett. Could "simply" be psoriasis (though there's nothing simple about the pain from the damaged skin of course). But if you're like me, I want to know what's causing the psoriasis. Have a doc check for venous stasis (specially as you spend hours and hours in a truck) and that would have an impact on the extremities which are ..ta dah...hands and feet. ...And for short term relief, for overnight use slather (I prefer) Dr Scholl's as it has an anti-itch ingredient too) or olive oil, vaseline, vicks (yes!) or eucerin and then put on a pair of cotton socks and a pair of cotton gloves. Icky, But does help. Uh...and don't forget that you have oil on your feet when you take the socks off in the morning ready to leap in the tub for a shower. You don't want a cracked head too. Let us know how it goes..Good Morning Army. Didn't make it to work today. Hands and feet are drying out so badly they are splitting open and the callous is drying up and flaking off. I can't even get my shoes on this morning. Walking is painful as it feels like I am walking with tiny sharp stones inside my shoes. And that's barefoot. Shoes make it worse.

home again... at least for a few hrs..
was digging around in the "black hole closet" ( you know, that place where things disappear into and are "never" seen again) welllll.... I found my old Caligraphy set and actually got excited about it...
went out and bought some new ink and stuff... ( Omygawd!! that stuff got expensive.... last time I bought supplies was 40 yrs ago) between the new inks and paper and a couple of new nibs, it was
almost 100$
IIRC, the original "set" I got had 3 pens ( holders) 6 nibs, 5 inks ( red, blue, gold, yellow, and black) it came with an instruction book and 100 sheets of Parchment paper for.... 21$...
today, just 2 bottles of "cali" ink is 20$....
lol... no wonder why people quit writing letters... cost ya more to write the letter than the postage to send it...
