Now she just has to remember to not lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for the next 6 weeks. It's really hard because after the first week you feel like you can conquer the world, lol!
Lol My Dad will make sure she does not!

@Seleya and @wvloony will appreciate this. Went outside with the dogs so they could go potty, and I saw this on the conifer next to my front steps.

At first I was like..."damn that's a long snake". After I snapped the pics, I blew some clouds onto him to shoo him away. He slithered back into the center towards the trunk and saw a tail......while the tail on the top didn't move. So that means there were two snakes nestled on the top.

I had to resist the urge to either go grab the 12 gauge or the chainsaw.
I thought the same thing, that was a long snake!! Lol

Those pictures are amazing! I know you didn't take them as close as they look, lol. The bottom one definitely does look like one loooooooooong snake! :)

I caught this one playing around in all the leaves in his tank last night.

I'm considering buying a macro filter to try out to take better pictures of him. He's so tiny and my kit lens doesn't work as well as I'd like to take photos of him. Nice macro lenses are too expensive, though. :lol:
He's so cute peeking through those leaves! I wonder if he knows he is just as colorful and pretty as they are? :)

I did get my vape mail from Vapor DNA today. Got a 60 ml bottle of Bruce Leechee from The Mamasan (this was the bottle that was discounted to 3.99), a 60 ml bottle of Green Blast from Naked 100 and a 60 ml bottle of Mighty Manggis from Key juice.

Bruce Leechee is a Philippine mango and lychee flavor. Philippine mango is sweeter than regular mango and the lychee adds to the sweetness. Mango and lychee are two of my favorite flavors and the Philippine mango flavor is definitely dominant. I would buy again, although it might be a bit too sweet to be an all day vape.

Green Blast combines the sweetness of honeydew and the tartness of kiwi with the crispness of a granny smith apple. You can definitely taste the honey, but it isn't as sweet because of the kiwi and the apple. None of the flavors are really dominant, so the taste is kind of a mish mash. I'm not sure if I have a particular fondness for this, I probably would not buy again.

Mighty Manggis is a tropical fruit candy with mangosteen. Now I have never had a mangosteen before (apparently it used to be illegal to import them into the US because of bugs) and according to Google, it tastes like a combination of strawberry, peach, and vanilla ice cream. I do detect the creamy taste, and I like it, even though I detest creamy juices. I don't pick up strawberry, peach or vanilla though. The taste is more akin to mango, hence a lot of reviewers seems to confuse this with a mango flavor. I would definitely buy again.

I was looking at a set like this. Just filters that screw on to the end. It's like $13 for a set of 4 that includes +1, +2, +4 and +10

I'll check into the tubes, though.
Filters are ok, but you are putting more glass in front of your lens, so if you get a cheap set made with inferior glass that would degrade the quality of your picture. Extension tubes are empty tubes with no glass elements. Of course, since you are essentially extending your lens, you do run the risking of vignetting if you use too long of a tube.

It's so funny when networks contact me and try to get me to partner with them for my youtube channel.
The e-mails are always like "You will get 70% of your revenue, and you can take your payout whenever you like."
That may sound nice if I actually made revenue :w00t: :lol:
I know what you mean! I get the same kinds of emails for SEO and advertising. Cracks me up. :)

I was about 3 feet away and zoomed in using the camera on my phone. And they came back and they're still hanging out on the bush.

Are you still using the Note 4? I can't remember if you upgraded yet or not. Those shots are great! I bet they came back to see if you would blow some more yummy clouds at them! :D

I upgraded to a S7 Edge back towards the end of March about a couple of weeks after it was released. The camera on this phone is absolutely amazing even though Samsung dropped the megapixels down to 12 from the 15 available in the Note 5. The low light capabilities of the camera is so good. Reviewers rate it as the best smartphone camera available, even better than the new iPhone 7. The rumors are that the S8 is supposed to come with dual 12 MP cameras like the iPhone 7.

I actually think the second juice's profile sounds delicious! I am a huge fan of apple flavors, though. Yum.

It is weird that Bath and Bodyworks has a scent that I think would make THE most amazing vape juice?? It's called "Champagne Apple & Honey." It smells good enough to vape. :D

This is the profile:

Lol My Dad will make sure she does not!
That's awesome. She is so lucky to have your dad there to help her. :) Kennedie was less than a year old when I had mine so it was almost impossible to be good. She would put her little arms up to me and I just wanted nothing more than to bend down and scoop her up! Ashleigh always made sure I didn't though. She would make me sit down and then put K in my lap. :)

I thought you upgraded. I am suuuuper tempted to do my upgrade early and go with the S7 Edge. The reviews of the camera have me sold on it. Plus I could get a VR headset if I upgrade right now and I neeeeeed one. :D
