Hi y'all! My name is daisy and although this is my first post...i've been lurking and reading for a while. i'm glad i did, because i found Backwoods Brew and OMG they're amazing. If i wasn't poor, i'd have ordered more than just one 15ml bottle (malty toffee, need i say more - and i went with one bottle in case i can afford a larger one later, lol!) My addiction before that was (and still will be my main vape) is black licorice cut a little with some extra anise extract added in. i'm already planning to ditch my old school 510 set up for an ego C next month (I'll be able to sell what i have locally, thank goodness - it'll help pay for the new kit!).
i love vaping! i have been smoke free for 6 weeks and a day as i write this
Heck yeah, I still have nicotine in all of *2* of my flavors so far, but i had purchased a bunch of cheapie 5ml no-nic bottles to try out flavors from madvapes. i found some i love (sticky toffee pudding and peach cobbler anyone?) but also found some that i find gross - even after decanting (green apple).
Everyone here seems so supportive of everyone else - love this place. i've come here for a lot of advice. The only advice i didn't follow was to go ahead and get a more expensive set-up, but the ego C popped up right after i did what i did purchase-wise. I'll be buying one next month
A bit about me, hrm. i'm a book nut. i worked for almost 8 years for Borders bookstore until i became disabled in late Jan 2006 First an ankle surgery in 8/05, then i found out i have two herniations (T7-T8 and L1-L2 for those in the know) AND to top it off, aggressive arthritis in both knees. i'm still trying to get my actual disability (i don't even have medicaid, just food stamps which i'm far from being ashamed of). i have an awesome partner/roommate who is also disabled and we live on his SSI - so we have to budget a lot, lol! That's why i'm mourning the fact that i'll probably not be able to order from Backwoods for a while
Anywho, i digress! i love books, as i said a bit ago. i have a collection that's 1.5-2k books giver or take a few. we have 8 bookcases and I really need at least 5 more! i think we're going to try to turn the cat room (we have 7 kitties who are mostly rescues) into a part cat walkway heaven/part full room bookshelves. Thankfully i have family & friends nearby who can help - should be an interesting project once i finish the plans! i also collect PEZ - i have about 1k of them and we're slowly finding places for them in the house (we live in a house my parents got me so i wouldn't be homeless - and so i'd be closer to them as they're both in their 70's - and it's a cute little arts & crafts cottage so LOTS of wood and amazing floors, but also years of abuse) We discovered they fit perfectly on top of all the window and door frames - like a match made in heaven (and a little bit of fun tack, lol!) cats and toy targets do NOT mix (which is also why they're so high up!). i'm also a philatelist. i've been collecting stamps since i was about 7 years old. My grandfather was actually a stamp broker in NYC which i amazing. i really never knew you could make a *really* good living buying, selling and auctioning stamps! It was extra super cool when i was little because he'd give me "special" stamps and tell me to go home and have my dad help me put it in my album (dad collected too and xmas of 2010 he gave me his collection - mini faint!)
Guess i've babbled enough for the moment - whew i when i get going i don't shut up, er stop typing? It's real life too so don't think i only ramble on here
toodles for now!
