By the end of the year I am going to have over 200 recipes under my belt. I promise that to myself.
I like that one and FA's version...can't stand CAP or TFA blackberry!
I'm doing good coming up with 2 of my own...just 2...maybe.
Ugh! G'mornin' y'all... still adultin', but tryin' to check in. Hopefully this afternoon will be better... :sighs:
Howdy folks. Actually have work to do today. A mixed blessing, I've gotten used to goofing off. 
Thanks @skullblade789 for sharing all those recipes. I for sure will be trying a few. I've been trying to do a milk & honey, and now I see I'm using too much flavoring.

Teensy side note, Tejas - might depend on your flavoring. TFA and CAP are "weaker" so you can use more. From what I understand, FW and Kodak's new Flavorah are more concentrated? Don't necessarily need as much. I'm mostly a TFA mixer. I have a few CAP and a couple other miscellaneous ones. I always have to adapt when other manufacturers are used. But, DIY is all about YOU - I try to treat recipes as a starting point. Doesn't always mean how I'll always mix something, but it's a great place for me to start.
Your tastebuds are YOURS.... You have to appease them
I was told that Flavourart was stronger than FW...any thoughts?
Dunno about that LadyLynn.... I only have about 3 FA flavorings. They don't get used very often. This is where I'd jump to the DIY threads - I believe there are a lot of listings/spreadsheets of the various "base" percentages for the different manufacturers
Thanks for the tips. Recipes, even when I'm cooking, are usually just a suggestion.Teensy side note, Tejas - might depend on your flavoring. TFA and CAP are "weaker" so you can use more.

Bizzy day. Miz Maggie went in today to get fixed (vet was sick last week). Looking at taking a bit of time off today, and likely tomorrow (nice weather plus Magoo might be a handful along with the other 3 pooches).
I'm generating inputs for my annual commitments at woik, always a fun exercise Sr. engineer, 30 years -- "be helpful, play nice, share knowledge with others" really sums up what I do.

overall, yes - i tend to use much lower percentages of FA flavors, in general...
got to test the Cotton Tail variations recently (clones of Suicide Bunny's Original Bunny, I believe) - v2 looks like a clear winner (much fuller flavor profile, nice bit of sweet with some depth)... the Steam Factory Muffcake clone is off the chains (essentially a lemon poundcake - going to be mixing a clone or two of Glas's Poundcake when I get home also)... need to test da blueberries next, now that they have had some decent steepin' time... early reports on the Bourbon Peach Cheesecake are favorable, also - smells great, just need to take it for a spin...
first world problems for the win
Hey y'all... just so as to not leave you guys and gals out of the loop, I feel that I need to let y'all know what is going on in my life right now. Thursday I'll be taking off work so that I can take my Bride in for CT and MRI scans, then Friday we will see the oncologist to discuss the aforementioned scans and get her twelfth chemo treatment of this second regimen. To be quite honest, things are not looking good. She is experiencing more pain than she was previously feeling. She is also a lot more tired and worn down than I've ever seen her. She is still trying to maintain an air of positive spirits, but I fear that she is realizing that she is nearing the end of what she can handle. This chemo regimen has been particularly hard on her; from the very first treatment, it has been brutal. I spoke with her best friend this morning, apparently my Bride told her that this may be her last chemo treatment. Not because the doctor will call it done, but because she feels that she cannot endure it any longer. She alluded to the feeling that she'd rather have a good year or so of feeling relatively normal (even if it shortened her life span) than to have two more years of feeling as she currently does. I cannot say that I blame her; I'd never blame her for feeling this way. But hearing this is a hard pill to swallow. Of course, I'll maintain a strong front for her benefit. It's all I know to do. But even still, my heart is heavy. I do not know what the scans will show; I do not know what decisions will be made. I know that I love my wife and I will support her in whatever she may choose. And I don't know what else to say... I'm sorry for dragging down the mood, but I also felt that y'all should know what's going on and where my head is right now. I'm trying to stay as positive as I possibly can, I'm trying to enjoy the time I have left with her. I'm trying to stay strong... honestly, all I really want to do is crawl into a cave and wish for it to all just go away. I know that isn't going to happen, but one can still wish, right?
I can't begin to know what that feels like, Kazizz, Brother, but my most heartfelt prayers and warm wishes are with you and your Mrs.
We can only hope and pray that her treatments are effective and give her reason to fight on, and that the toll they are exacting become easier for her, and you, to bear. This news saddens the whole family, but we are here with our prayers, and our support for your battle.

Sorry to hear about your wife's difficulties with the chemo. I know it can be a draining experience -- SIL is going through it, I know it's brutal for her at times. My mother skipped chemo. There's no right or wrong, a person needs to follow their heart in making such choices, and our duty is to back them in whatever their decisions are, make them as comfortable as possible.
Thank you, Brother. I very much appreciate it. I never thought that I'd be facing losing my wife to cancer at the age of 40, and I have to admit that it has been the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. I guess the only good side of it is that you have a bit of time to reconcile, but it also comes with having to watch it progress. I can say with certainty that I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy...
We will continue to pray, and continue to fight, but I'm afraid that if the news is as I expect it to be on Friday that she may well decide to just let nature take its course in its own time. And if that is her decision, I will stand by her. I know how hard this treatment has been on her... and she's stronger than I for having endured it for as long as she has! I'd have probably given up on it a very long while back...
Thank you, Mark. You are absolutely right... there is no right or wrong choice when it comes down to it. She has already endured one six-month regimen and is now nearing the end of the sixth month of this second regimen. This time it is a stronger chemo with much harsher effects. I don't know how she's handled it this far as well as she has... But whether to continue or stop is a personal choice that one must make when they are faced with it and when they are ready. Either way, I'll hold her hand and comfort her or I'll stand at her back and fight with her... she'll have me until the end, no matter what.
Thank you, Brother. You guys are always on my mind and I feel blessed to have the strength and support that I have found here. Dinger blessed me with more than she'll ever know when she invited me in to join you guys here.
Brother Kaz, I already said this in a different thread but in case you miss it there:
The only thing I want to add to that is don't worry so much about staying strong. It's OK to not be strong. Go ahead and cry, scream, yell, whatever you need to do. We will be here for you.
Thank you, Kev. I saw ya over there.
And thank you. In my heart, I know that it's OK to not be strong... but my head just argues back too much. I guess what I mean is that I want to be as strong for her as I can... fortunately, I feel safe enough here to let that facade fade a bit. I know you guys understand, and I love you all for that!- Status
