*I* would have put it based on a couple of scenarios -

Scenario 1: They know everything is fine, but for whatever reason (typing up new disclaimers, consulting lawyers, whatever) it won't be back up till Tuesday.

"We will be releasing a public statement on Tuesday about our Cinnamon flavor. We need some time to get that statement together, but we think you'll be pleased with what we've decided."

Scenario 2: They don't have all the info they need back yet, and won't till Tuesday, but all *indications* are positive.

"We will be releasing a public statement on Tuesday about our Cinnamon flavor. We are currently waiting for the final test results, but we're optimistic."

scenario 3 - she or he that prints the labels is off til Monday.. will be printing labels with warnings on em all day Monday... :)

my bank has no actual brick and mortar store front I sent it by scan, they are showing it as being received however due to it being the 1st time that it was ever done this way by me, they put a hold on it and the funds will not be released until Dec 2nd,
snip:

and that's why there's no location.. so you can't go slap the snot out of them until they get off their buns and let you have access to your money

Ummm, sorry, yes I did! We don't get a great deal of cold weather until another few weeks or so, we are expected to get to 46 tomorrow night, but then back up in the 50's. However we do get some cold weather here, 2 years ago it did snow a bit in the morning and we get a few weeks of Teens and 20 degree weather as well. But nothing like most of you all get!

I need a new spot in Fl

Well, I'm a little ...... off, I went to pick up my check yesterday as there was not enough time for it to be directly deposited and as my bank has no actual brick and mortar store front I sent it by scan, they are showing it as being received however due to it being the 1st time that it was ever done this way by me, they put a hold on it and the funds will not be released until Dec 2nd, so there goes my damn BF purchase, all I was going to get was about 6 flavorings and a battery! I had contacted them and they said they would put in a request to have some of the funds made available but I will not know if any will be available until Tuesday. I was just going to get those flavorings before BF and on BF get the Battery and normally juices that I am out. I am not a happy person right now! W.T...H.... else can go wrong now! I have not been in a position to purchase anything for like 3 months now and was excited to be able to get a few things at least. Should have known better!!! Oh well, such is life. :facepalm:

I too am a reforming cynic, and like you I have no problem with the wait. I just find the wording a bit glib considering the firestorm that's been set off. It reads like, "shh, everything's fine but don't tell anyone," which is just a little weird. Granted, words are my trade, and I realize they're not everyone's strong suit, so I'm fairly sure I'm reading too much into it. But here's how *I* would have put it based on a couple of scenarios -

Scenario 1: They know everything is fine, but for whatever reason (typing up new disclaimers, consulting lawyers, whatever) it won't be back up till Tuesday.

"We will be releasing a public statement on Tuesday about our Cinnamon flavor. We need some time to get that statement together, but we think you'll be pleased with what we've decided."

Scenario 2: They don't have all the info they need back yet, and won't till Tuesday, but all *indications* are positive.

"We will be releasing a public statement on Tuesday about our Cinnamon flavor. We are currently waiting for the final test results, but we're optimistic."

I know this all looks like hair splitting, and it probably is - I've been known to take a red pen to a grocery list - but to me, either of those statements would read a lot less like "We know exactly what we're planning to do, but we're sitting on bringing them back so as to pump up Black Friday sales." (oops, I said it.)

To be clear, I don't really think that's the *intent* here, but it reads shifty even though I don't think they meant it to.

.... hey James, need a copy-editor? I'll work for free juice.

Day--um!!! Nothing like hitting a guy when he's down!! I read about what happened with your job and I'm so sorry/p.o'd for you!! Sheesh....and I thought I've had a tough year!! I hope the bank will release some of the funds for you. Can you take the check back and cash it somewhere else? Sucky suck suck sux!!! Sending all the positive vibes I can muster up! :mad::|

scenario 3 - she or he that prints the labels is off til Monday.. will be printing labels with warnings on em all day Monday... :)

:lol: that too. I don't expect them to toss it back up immediately... with as big of a stink as they made, they obviously have to *do* something about it now, and that takes time - putting warnings on the relevant pages, talking to lawyers, hopefully maybe asking a scientist or two, maybe reworking labels, etc etc etc. That's all good business practice. So no issues with the wait here, I'm sure they're scrambling.

The fact that all this scrambling is a result of a mess of their own making, well... less sympathy there. Sorry, that's my "Laymen need to leave the shiny abstracts alone unless they plan to ask a scientist what it says" side peeking out again. ;)

Yeah right up there with DinoCroc and all of their uninspired line ups. I mean, geeez, even back in the early 70's with all that was going on these still would have been a big joke. I love the way they keep saying "Imagine Greater", well I keep imagining and they have yet to come up with something that isn't totally asinine. Ghost Shark, yeah, Rock Monster, Ogre, but I guess they need to put some of those actors that haven't been in front of a camera for ages some work! Right now is "Space twister" earlier it was "alien Twister" they sure milk as much as they can out of a subject. :facepalm:

As for riding the bike, at least it's cheaper on gas! :p

Oh yeah, forgot to add that "Stonados" sounds more like a pron movie then Sci-Fi!

Hahahaha!!! I see you've been watching though....just like me! They're so bad they're good. I've got 'Space Twister' on right now. Imagine greater!! that's so funny! Yeah, it'll be hard trying to watch 'Stonados' and catch Mod Envy at the same time. Good thing I've got 2 good ears! Gotta love Sat. nights! Hell....I may even break open a Woodchuck hard cider for this one!!

lol, well I couldn't watch quite a few of them they were so bad. Right now there is absolutely nothing else on so I have it on as background noise. :facepalm:

I think Mod Envy will be entertaining, I just need to remember to watch it tonight. I was over there a bit ago but they are just messing around now. lol

Mine is background too. I look up at it every now and then...not exactly riveting. Mod Envy goes from 10 to 12:30. Hope you win something tonight. I've yet to win and have been there every Sat. since Sept. If I win anything, I'll PIF it to you.......unless it's like a really cool mod or something...haha!

Just watched an adventure in space and time on Canadian space, good and informative flick, and now f or the anniversary episode

I watched An Adventure in Time and Space last night. Mark Gatiss did a masterful job, as did all the acting talent.

The anniversary ep is fantastic. And molto bene, and all the other catchphrases. Moffat at his finest, a full on scary-exciting-funny romp without all the convoluted waffling he tends to indulge in when he has a season to play with. Enjoy it.

I have been mixing orange dream bar, swedish lime, and get razzed and it's really outstanding! It's been great in a carto tank but really muted in this new pro tank 2 I'm using right now. It's got a stock atomizer in it. Wondering if it's the flavor wick that's muting the taste so much. I usually rebuild these with 3mm wick and without the flavor wick. This seems markedly muted to me right now...disappointing because it's such a dynamic flavor blend in a fresh carto tank. Ideas??

edited to add. I rechecked my ohms and it was higher than I had though at 2.8, so I kicked the volts up to 4.5 and it's hitting like a champ now. Much better!!

Is this a series? What network? It sounds good.
BTW Seanchai....I totally thought your avi was a pic of you too. Now I can't picture you as anyone but that person. I'm obviously not up on my Dr. Who....

lol, well if you get a VTR I'll have to beg for it, that is really the only mod I want to get! Yeah, I have it bookmarked and am going to try to watch it. I have to make sure not to start playing the guitar as I have a tendency to get lost in that and by the time I am done it's a few hours later, I've missed some shows that I wanted to actually watch by doing that. :p

I guess they have to give some of the washed up or out of work actors something to do! But damn when casting Tiffiany and how the heck is the other ones name, oh yeah Debbie Gibson. And damn, they weren't even actors to start with! :blink:

If I would win a VTR I would definitely send it your way.....too heavy for me, and very masculine.
Yeah, Debbie Gibson was a singer, no? The older guy was on X Files years ago. This is the land of obscure actors, singers, etc. so sad.....:cry:
