    Pods. Nope. Even the one I won here doesn't get used much. Haven't even sourced any replacement pods for it.

    Prior to setting up the temporary Mix Lab for my liquid the other day, I took some time to dig thru my stash and found some JUULs and a couple other pods I had bought on a whim at the Quick Trip back in the day when they were promoting them with literal give-a-way prices ..

    I did use the JUULs off and on for a time back then .. I remember I'd get quite a head rush with those first few morning hits ..

    Not surprising, at those levels!

    Yes, they can fill a need, and the one I won does produce a good vape, decent vapor, good flavor. But still, too much trash ;)

    Was the Xros Nano I won, same pods. Good to know, just in case ;)

    I could not agree anymore. For the first time in my life, I have no one to take care of but myself, and I can assure you that this o'l girl has already started being pampered! heehee

    Happy Wednesday y'all.
    Good for you. Time for yourself is significant. Time for grief is personal, so don't push it too much. I am just now starting to accept the loss of my daughter.

    Morning, all.

    Yeah, another fine day here, still no rain. So, really, not so fine. We typically are pushing 2" of rain by this time, but no, not a drop. After one of the warmest and driest Septembers on record.

    Burn pile grows, hose ends continue to erode...

    I know it sounds selfish and it likely is, however, I had actually hoped inflation would stay high at least thru September .. since July, August & September are the months Uncle Sam uses to calculate the SS bump .. I felt that, in retrospect, the 2020 raise was inadequate the further we got into 2021 ..

    Even this 8.7% is somewhat inadequate, IMO, although I will, of course, take it ..

    My real wish is, eliminate Fed income tax on SS fully .. since I make beyond what the cap is by the time you figure it all up, I'm paying income tax on my SS .. it's unfair as these caps have never, to my knowledge, ever been adjusted .. the good news is, here in Fly Over Country, there is no State Tax on SS ..

    Death and taxes, you can count on ..

    Even though I get the 'Old Folks' property tax freeze and additional exemption for my age, my property tax tab on my home and my workshop are really ludicrously high .. (there is no age or exemption on the commercial property) ..

    (If you try to sit, sit) I'll tax your seat
    (If you get too cold, cold) I'll tax the heat
    (If you take a walk, walk) I'll tax your feet

    Morning, all.

    Moderate temps and no rain continues. :(

    No State income tax here, but we "pay" for that in higher sales taxes. :( Odd that our "liberal" State has such an unequal system, as the sales tax bears more heavily on those with less $$... than, say, a progressive income tax.
