I know right! I have wondered that too! You should see him with chickens, he guards them and watches over them, and he goes everywhere they go. I think he thinks hes a chicken that likes water...lol

I have been vaping on my banana and peanut butter mix, and I could not realize why it did not taste like banana and peanut butter....I put a hazelnut vanilla custard in my tank instead of the banana and peanut butter....haha! I worry about myself sometimes....
I'm huffing root beer today...think I finally hit the right percentage on this one...need to make another bottle of Smarties, though.

Kidlets replacement mod should be here tomorrow, and the nano tanks are scheduled to arrive Monday. PayPal updated my dispute about the eVics....yesterday, it was "being reviewed", today they have requested more info from them. When I first opened the claim, they were asked to respond and gave the taking number...lol...I responded by copying their comment about it being crushed and thrown away. Now I guess they wanna find out about that. Sigh. Has anyone else's tracking updated yet?

I wanna say this was 2012... We were still living in the rental while we were waiting to buy here. I'm trying to search my FB to find the shelter name....or at least the location. I used to volunteer at a no-kill shelter in Kansas. I loved being there, and we got our piggy-dog Bert from there...lol! The shelters here are a mix of kill and no-kill. And everyone is full to the gills year round.

I was in highschool from 2001 to 2005. I wish we had one in our county, because I would love to volunteer at one! I would be bringing them home with me....lol Piggy dog Bert! I don't think you ever told me about him! His description sounds like something I would like to hear about ;)
It is crazy how fast shelters fill up as soon as they start, and how they are always filled. The woman that started the shelter in the county I grew up in (not in the town i lived in though) had to start a rule of accepting dogs from the county only, and the dogs from the town first. People then started dropping dogs off there when she told them she did not have room. It was freaking awful. I know she called the cops on a few of the people for animal cruelty and other things.

The shelter in our town would do a feature on one animal a week in our newspaper with a pic and a dating ad. One day, I opened the paper to see the head of the biggest black Lab I'd ever seen! I grew up with Labs, so I have a soft spot for the big guys. maxwell saw the pic and fell in love as much as I had, so we started a campaign to get the wasband to let us adopt him. He wouldn't budge...but he suggested if Maxwell wanted to be around dogs that much, maybe we should volunteer there. I'm a smart girl, I know how that game works. I went to meet Bert and see what he was like...a staff member went back to get him and bring him out, and when they did, he walked all 100+ lbs of piggy Lab straight to me and sat on my feet, then just looked at me. I knew he was mine!!! The next day after kindergarten, I picked Max up and we went and took our orientation class to volunteer, Max was the only child signed up. We took Bert into one of the exercise pens outside, and he would not allow Max to get more than a few inches away from him. Did I mention I took a Polaroid camera with? I got the BEST pic of them cuddling...lmaoooo...when wasband got home, there were the big brown eyes staring at him, Max was clutching the Polaroid saying " but daddy, I LOVE HIM...he's in my heart now!" we adopted Bert the next morning and he came home.

Have the eGrip from Foggy that's going to Seth...then the green Disrupter battery, the topbox mini kit, the taifun clone, STM, nano tank and a small tool box loaded with pre-wound coils, rayon, screwdrivers, scissors, tweezers, extra box of .5 OCC coils, and orings. There's some extra metal drip tips that ive removed from every tank I get, some silicone drop tips, a few tank bands and 6 bottles of juice. After it gets there, we're gonna Skype and do a quick lesson on rebuilding the Kanger coils and RBAs and the taifun RTA.

I got a little nostalgic today. I remember those days when grama would put her curlers in and wash her hair with vinegar and it would smell for like a hour or so *chuckles* so I busted out some new foam curlers [yay dollar tree!] and popped em in. Though her's were those horrible plastic ones with the stabby bristles, tried one once when I saw her do it, took about 30 minutes to get it back out :D

You wanna talk corruption, you should look at NY state and NYC politics. In the past 10 years, there's been about 10 NY politicians that's been convicted in federal court for different crimes related to their position. Most recently, the most powerful Democrat and Republic in the state legislature was convicted within weeks of each other. And now the federal prosecutor has set his sights on the mayor of NY. He is so anti-cop that the guy he appointed to run the Civilian Complaint Board (the agency that investigates complaints against the police) is an attorney whose law firm represents clients suing the police. The feds are currently looking into the mayor's PAC, because it looks like he was using it to circumvent political donation limits. Several people that does business with the city, and has gotten favorable treatment from the mayor, has donated upwards of $500,000 to his PAC. The problem is the mayor controls the PAC and decides where the money is spent. And as a PAC, they don't need to disclose who they got their contributions from and how much.

And then you have the Speaker of the Assembly (the Democrat), who was convicted last year for pay-for-play. As the speaker, he awarded research grants for mesothelioma to a doctor at Columbia. In return, that doctor referred patients to a law firm that specialized in mesothelioma lawsuits. That law firm in return has paid over $5 million in referral fees to the speaker. And the speaker also controlled the court appointments, so that law firm got preferential treatment in court and had all their lawsuits scheduled first. Upon conviction he lost his seat, but he still gets to collect his pension for being a legislator. The feds now wants him sentenced to 15 years in prison (he's in his 70's), but he is claiming that he has prostate cancer so he wants leniency from the court and just be sentenced to probation. The feds also wants to seize his "profits" from his crimes and are going after him for over $5 million, but he is disputing the amount of his profits. They held the special election this past Tuesday for his replacement, and the person who won was hand-picked by him to replace him.

The President of the Assembly (the Republican), was convicted for getting his son a highly-paid no show job and a highly-paid no show consulting gig at two companies who he "helped". His son was caught on a wiretap complaining about his supervisor at the job who questioned why he was an employee there since he never showed up for work. He was screaming at that guy's boss that his supervisor should be fired, or else his dad will take care of it.

There has been over 10 highly ranked police officials that have been demoted and put on modified duty for doing "favors" for two individuals who are heavy donors to the mayor and his PAC in return for trips and gifts such as diamonds.

And the feds are also investigating the sale of a city-owned nursing home. They sold the home for $28 million under the "verbal" promise that the new owners would maintain it as a nursing home. The zoning for the building also had restrictions that required it to be used as a nursing home. A lobbyist for the new owners, a big donor to the mayor and his PAC, got the city to remove the restriction in exchange for $16 million. Days later, the new owners flipped the building to a condo developer for $116 million, a $72 million profit. And evidence suggests that they had actually made the deal to sell the building before they got the restriction lifted, provided that they could get the restriction lifted.

They're just following the old NY traditions of Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed.

Do you have a Petsmart near you? The Petsmart near me has the adoption center that has cats from a local shelter. They're always looking for volunteers to spend a few hours a week socializing with the cats and taking care of them.

I am curious...I have 2 orders that were at least 15 minutes apart yet they both have the same tracking number...I have ordered a lot of stuff from "same ebay seller on the same day" and have never had this happen. They always have different tracking numbers for each order.

I wonder if we all have the same tracking number ?

Mine end in 654CN

That is a great story! He must have been one big boy! I bet he was beautiful! Labs are so cute too! The polaroid camera is classic and funny! They were so awesome!
