I was actually thinking about biting the bullet early and getting a REO before my 'reward REO.' I talked to one of the owners at my local B&M that sells an Easy DIY Kit just to get use to mixing. Well, I've been thinking about doing DIY for a while, but just haven't jumped into it yet. I can't 'stockpile' nic until I get my own place again since I can't have my chest freezer here at Mom's house (no idea where the heck I'd put it - lol!). I truly don't like the talk from the FDA...and don't like the idea of taxing us all to Pluto and back, so it would be cheaper. It's like the protocols from when I was a medic. There was tons of talk about changing the protocols - everyone said, "Oh, it won't happen for years." Then, one day they said, "The new book will be out next week. Study it. Take the test the week after. Be ready to implement the week after that." Well POO! Give us some warning, why don't you! I know, I'm rambling, but I like to be optimistic...with that streak of, "What if?" thrown in. lol
