mine are on the Nook....and same thing...bought all summer to read all winter.

I have a Kindle Fire (they came out with the Kindle Fire HD a month after I got it GRRR) I have never paid for a book. GO to the best sellers page and they have a free section and they have some very good selections at no charge.

I was highly resistant to getting my first one, but I had books coming out of my ears and no place to store them. Now I have 3,000 + books stored between my hard drive, my kindle, and my amazon account. hehe.

I use Calibre on our Mac/PCs to help keep them organized

I once had an airline charge me eighty five dollars for overweight luggage. The excess weight was from books. I bought my first e-reader before the return trip.

Good morning. I tried some Moo juice last night. Very tasty, the strawberry was up in my face, but their was a hint of cream/something else peeking through. Only a few days on it, but I can tell it is going to be great with some age.

So far all the most commonly liked flavors from MBV have been a hit. I'm hesitant to try the vanilla cupcake since all of their vanillas have had more mixed reviews. I want it to be good. hehe

I was too. I enjoy holding books when I read them and have a massive collection. I have a very simple nook and do use it for new release books :)

This is how my daughter is, she wants to "have the book in hand" We got her a kindle when they first came out, she still has NOT used it! But her Christmas list has been 85% books for the last 3/4 years, and she is only 17yrs old! 18 next month

I have the Van Cupcake every morning with my coffee. It is one of my 4 flavors that i rotate during the day. I think everyone is on the search for that "perfect" Vanilla, but it remains a mystery!

Good morning MBV :) Have a good week

So... can anyone tell me from experience how good MBV is at fixing order mixups? I just placed an order but forgot to change the mg level from the default 18 on one of the bottles. I sent a support message about 2 minutes after my order. Do I have a chance?
Call them next time. In my experience, you have a much much much better chance if you talk to them and whine...sound pathetic if you can :D

Turn the dial to the lower left side...200Ω. Hold the leads together and note the reading (this is the resistance of your leads). Put the black lead on the positive leg of your coil, the red lead on the negative leg of your coil and note the reading. Subtract the resistance of your leads from the second reading to get the resistance of your coil. HTH :)

EDIT: There are also a few video tutorials on Youtube for using multimeters for vaping. It might be worth spending a little time watching a few of those (that's how I learned).

Interesting thing about "upstate" is, it covers such a large area. Hyde Park is actually no where near me. But if I say just New York, most people automatically assume New York City. If I say Hornell NY, people say "Where the h*** is that?" :)

That is so true. I grew up in Upstate New York (Schoharie County, about forty miles southwest of Albany, in the Adirondacks). Are you anywhere near there?

Many people don't realize that a lot of New York State is really quite rural.

Wheeew~!!! two days of catchup took me 45 minutes - after halloween-ing at the haunted house, yesterday was recovery day - and no, it will never be *out of my system* hehe

<-------- is waiting for Extreme Ice to be in stock again. Need to order a huge bottle.
me too!

I'm going to IKEA tomorrow. I didn't know they had cat condos! I got a couple little cat houses there though. I got these 2 big cat condos online. They're Amarakat brand....who knew there were a bazillion choices? Vaping created this crazy "order everything online" thing in me. I just like getting something in the mail every week instead of friggen' funeral plans and mail for my dead mother in law.

I got our cat condo at big lots - we have 3 fur babies

ohms and watts and volts and wrapping coils are all totally foreign to me. but i am glad you guys have fun messing with them!

*pulls up with Kelli to watch everybody else do their rebuild stuff* If it were just a matter of wrapping a wire around a pin and wic - I'd be in, but remembering the numbers for electricity.. nah, y'all can have that

Neither, we don't change the clocks here.
snip :(

I want to opt out of DST too but somehow I don't think the physical therapist or doctors we deal with will play along.

Yeah...I agree.
I still like the "it's for the farmers" theory. LOL
Around here most tractors don't have headlights or any of that fancy stuff and the men really do get home at "dark thirty".

and we get up at almost light.. *sigh*

Our first cool front of the season came in today....82 degrees with 50% humidity and a nice northeast breeze. It's dropping to 69 overnight.

I'm in the other part of Florida - and we have been dipping in the 40s at night, which this year, has been surprisingly refreshing - so far. In a month I won't feel this way anymore.

Also, a crisp 24° here in upstate NY. Loving it :)

crisp.. right... crunchy maybe

That is so true. I grew up in Upstate New York (Schoharie County, about forty miles southwest of Albany, in the Adirondacks). Are you anywhere near there?

I grew up in Saratoga county.. more suburban than rural though. I got my suburban princess crown revoked when we got ducks and chickens - busted too many times in overalls carrying a pitchfork.



and to keep on track.. has anyone tried anything off the wall mixing flavors lately.. I have some sour yum that is pretty good on it's own - but ya know.. I'm getting curious to see how it might go with pumpkin spice - don't gag... I like weird stuff.. like bacon flavor

oh.. mulitquote misfire... re juicing from 2 days ago
me too! Jack Lalane juicer - green juice for the win! I do sometimes go from the juicer to the blender to add either an avacado or a banana
mustard greens in juice do not make me happy but the rest of the green frilly stuff is ok - trying to get the parental units (in their 80s) to break out their new in the box - for almost a year - juicer and give it a whirl.
grapefruit kind of rocks in the juices too... and it's almost fresh citrus season here. Mom said her ponderossa lemons are almost ripe

another lovely day for wrist twisting.. PT at 10am central DST (growl) time
first thing she does is break out the warming pad for my hand though.. today that will be very nice

must top up some T3s before it's time to go - can't run out of juice in the car...

We took my youngest to the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, right along the Hudson River, have to say it is a beautiful area...

Yes, very rural here :) I like this area though, it's usually peaceful, and nice scenery. Still, not close to Schoharie County either. More west from there.
