How old are your kids, again, April? I'm missing teaching my 9th graders so much thinking about adolescents
. The tutoring is sure not the same.

Youngest just turned 12 today (6th grade), oldest is 15 and a freshman. Both girls.
Your birthday girl sure sounds like one special kid, April! Unbelievable that description of what her preferred plans were for the day
! Just from my time teaching, adolescent girls sure seem a little more daunting to me than boys. What sort of magic do you all have going in that house of yours, anyway

Sadie (that's the birthday girl), has always been easy going and sweet. Since the day she was born. Had she been my first I would have had as many children as I could have.
Chloe is a handful. A sweet handful, but emotional (more depressed than acting out though). No magic here. Just got lucky.

It's very obvious that they got lucky, too, April! 15 year olds are the main age that I've taught. That's where what I was saying about girls of that age being more daunting to think about raising comes from. By the time they're seniors, a lot of the roller coasters seem to get smoothed out. Hormones and high school drama sure pack a wallop! BTW, I LOVE your two girls' names, April.
Congrats on the conversion...
Quick story for ya.. Last fall my sis and I went out on my back patio to smoke. She was leaving, so I cut though the dark garage to the light switch on the adjacent wall. I flipped it, then looked back at her.. She was backing up with huge eyes.. I said, what? She finally stammers, "there was a skunk, right behind you!"
Yup, best thing to do when you see one of those is to stop and try to back away slowly! haha...
I was just talking to smitteie on FB about kids, they may be a pain and get into trouble a lot, but then they'll turn around and do something like that and your heart just melts.
TOGA, TOGA,.TOGA,.TOGA,.TOGA,.TOGA,.TOGA,....
Me Neither!
You had to google toga party
Oh, and I forgot that you asked before, Bridget...my DF will be a month old on Saturday. Long enough for pretty full bloom?
Dusty suggested to have one on his B-day 6 days from now... so get ready!!!

Talking about birthdays, my maternal grandmother had her 100th birthday last week. Her health is pretty good, but she is suffering from advanced dementia, which is very sad. She was always very sharp and witty when I was young, and she made the best bread I've ever had.
She has 10 grand children, and about 20 great-grandchildren, and several great-great grand-children.
She never smoked, or drank alcohol, and lived most of her life as the wife of a dairy farmer, eating lots of eggs and drinking whole, fresh milk. But I think most of her longevity is due to genetics--she comes from a family full of people who live to 100 or come darn close...
I'm 47, and I hope if I live as long as my grandmother, I have both my health and my mind intact. It is sad to see someone who was once so sharp, not remember people and things anymore...

So I am running low on "good" juices here. That order can't get here quick enough. I have about 5 ml's of MBV RY4 left, and then it is the watermelon and monster from them. I picked up some strawberry/banana from the local vape shop and it is not my thing, along with the way that the 80/20 makes me feel (I think that I might not get along with PG...). I'd say I have about 2 days of RY4 left, and then I might have to suffer through the other two being "all day vapes" (will definitely rotate them around throughout the day in my two t3's) until I get my samples and can place a larger order of flavors that I like. I did order 30 ml's of HT with the sampler, but I know that will have to steep at least a couple of days before using it. I think that the Zinger tea and strawberry banana that I have are going to end up on the classies to hopefully trade with someone that has some other flavor instead of just sitting in my vape box. The zinger is the freebie I got from MBV, it's also an 80/20 blend and only 12mg. Tea is just not my thing at all, I hate it (which makes "fancy" dinners that only serve tea and water kind of suck for me). Anyways, just thought I would check in for the night after work before bed. Good night army!
hey all sorry for not being around much ... been having internet probs (hard to dispute bill with internet provider and win ) missed you all and now that i finally caught up -- wow you guys sure know how to get into trouble when i am away and it is so nice to see all the new folks
btw the hh357 is the best attie out there and worth every penny -- have tried several and there is just nothing to compare -- as a matter of fact thinking of getting another one (diff ohm)
and all those lurkers just move on this is my thread to lurk on
so happy to have eleanorr back -- missed her
hula so happy you came back it would not be the same without you
was thinking of getting a protank but i have beautiful drip tips that i love to use and i really really want the amp tank (one of the reasons for getting another hh357) -- so saving up for it
to all the new folks -- get the vamo you will not be disappointed and get a mechanical -- they have some very reasonable ones -- get verified and get in those coops -- great way to advance your vaping gear on the cheap -- it is the only way i can keep up with my family and friends "borrowing" my vaping gear -- i now have a crowd every time i get vape mail

glad to be back btw if you ever have probs with your internet provider one phone call from a lawyer does wonders -- who knew
Hey it's the Lowercase Lurker! Nice to see you
I visited your town last March. It was beautiful and cold.
IF we ever have another girl (and, it would have to be an accident for it to happen), I'm going to propose we name her Sadie too. Then we'll both have a Chloe and a Sadie!
They sound like lovely girls, April. Sadie's the one with the song videos right? or, do I have them mixed up?
And, I'm with Becky. They definitely got lucky too!
Happy Birthday to your Grandma, WOW!
G-night Chimps, hope you make it till your juice comes.
beautiful yes cold nah maybe a bit chilly -- hope you liked it -- wish we could have met up but health has not been good to me lately but that is slowly changing -- back pain is an aweful thing -- keeps me bed bound most of the time but slowly getting better -- able to get out for short jaunts now
