I fear the day when my daughter is able to drive.

When I was growing up I didn't get a car until I could afford to buy it for myself. My mom made me pay for my own insurance on her car almost exactly the same way that you do (15 years ago so no cell phone). I remember there was an envelope above the key rack that I had to put 35 a week in for my insurance. If it was empty I didn't get to drive. I tried the same thing your daughter did and my mom took away the car. I got fired cause I wouldn't ride a bike to work. Two days later I got another job, but had to ride my bike to get it and to go to work until I got my first paycheck.

Happy <insert time of day here>, MBV peeps!

Vaping something that tastes like soap at the moment. I have ZERO clue what ended up in this tank tasting that way.

I'd flip it out for something else, but my juice is at the hotel. So it's soap in one tank and salted caramel in another. At least I've got enough on me to get through the day.

Exactly. That's what makes me nervous about the laws here in particular... I'm not a gun law nut or an anti gun zealot by any means, I just think that if you're going to use firearms - even "just in case" - then you should know how to do so *safely*, for the benefit of yourself and others. After all, that "gun for protection" does you little good if you barely know how to fire it... and as I'm sure you know well, Doug, the most likely thing to happen in that situation is for the attacker to disarm you and use your own gun on you. (That kind of thing is another reason why I've decided not to carry my own gun - disarming me would be pretty easy, which is why my number one requirement for carrying anything for defense is "can I fit the *whole thing* in my hand, and if someone wrestles me for it, they can't break my grip unless they first break my fingers/wrist?".)

I always had 3 rules for gun ownership
1. Never EVER point a gun at someone or something that you don't mean to kill. (Loaded or unloaded)
2. Don't hesitate.
3. Empty it.

And so far I have only killed paper targets....dead.

Oh, and I don't get the gun safety thing. It takes all of 1/10 sec to switch that off and another 1/2 second to pull the hammer.

Today I am bummed. Yesterday I caught some sort of cold and it was 75+ degrees outside. Today it's supposed to be almost 80 and I have this nasty cough now. On the positive side MBV's extreme ice is really good at soothing the throat. But no golf for me today

Mine just asked if it was possible to set up an auto-order for Sticky Bun... I spent 15 minutes trying to explain that MBV isn't like Amazon. ("Don't laugh at me. Wait till your kids are trying to explain how the computer chips in their brains work!" Yes, Mom.) So I am now the designated auto-orderer of Sticky Bun... I'd grab a 236ml bottle, but like me, she prefers to titrate her nic down over the course of the day, so it'll likely be 3 50 mls again this month. I'm just thrilled every time she reaches for her vape gear instead of a smoke.

Yup. Makes me happy she's not smoking. It was surreal when she texted me to tell me butter pecan was her new "adv" . I didn't realize she knew the lingo already!

Was hot here too (So. Cal) and I'm getting over a cold with sore throat, also. The "not able to taste my juice flavor" part is almost as bad as the cold itself.

Sorry I haven't posted much my friends, dealing with some personal things that kinda has me in a funk that I haven't snapped out of yet, happens, anyway nothing catastrophic, others are dealing with far more...

You all are the best and this is my favorite place to be, so if I'm not postin' here I'm probably not postin' anywhere

Back to work...

Wondered where ya been......hang in there....this time of year always seems to bring some problems that seem bigger than they are.....hopefully yours turns into a little one.....and goes away.

ok.. still reading from around 9 last night but Kelli.. Sean and whomever else is height challenged.. when y'all buy pants that are too long and have to cut them off.. send the bottoms to me! I'll sew them on mine. I'm 6'2" and have been since I was 12 years old - not gonna talk about weight but getting pants long enough has never been easy.

and now to finish the 6 pages or so of catchup reading from overnight.. Evelyn Wood would be proud

Tell me about it. I always tease my wife that it is a short person's world where every counter top is too low to be comfortable for my back, every ceiling fan is out to chop my head off, and every car giggles in glee as my knees get damaged getting in and out.

 

[Criticalmass]

ok.. caught up.. I feel so at home with yall in this thread It's like all the *live and let live* folks just seem to congregate together here. Good morning allayas!

loving my caramel coffee this morning.. felt the need for a sweeter than cafe coffee vape with my coffee and long read.

I'd get a CCW except it's darn hard to conceal a 12ga - I kinda prefer the long guns unless there's a really cute pearl handle revolver (.38) someone wants to endow me with. (how does one not end that sentence with a preposition?)

Well., I am now about half way down in my 236ml bottle of Whipped Cream juice, and I mostly vape it by itself even though it's an excellent mixer.

Anyone have any thoughts on what to get people in their 80's for Xmas? My folks are both mid 80s and I think what they'd want most is a visit, but we are holding off til mid January when dad gets his hip replaced so we can be more helpful - none of us travels well anymore.
I know my mom loves flowers but is getting tired of the house resembling a funeral parlor for xmas and birthdays.
My dad has not figured out the amazon wish list thing and mom just doesn't use the computer except for an occasional email.. might end up being a healthy snack assortment.. organic.. I just am stumped.

A Wii? A Kindle? Umm, A vacation?

I woke at 4 this morning to the sputtering sound of my oil tank going dry.

Went out to get some diesel - couldn't find my gloves. -6F. It was cold.

My preferred firearm doesn't have a safety. I think the last time I had a handgun with a manual safety was in the early 90's..

Senchai can probably help you out with the time travel thing. Everything around here is always due yesterday or last week. They sit on everything until the absolute last minute. I have yet to actually deliver the content to them at their specified time though.

Just baked a whole mackerel right on the rack of my oven... delicious. I have a feeling very little "goes" with mackerel vape wise, though, so I'll have to hold off for a while... though I do have some citrus vapes if I get desperate.

Has anyone tried mixing Crab juice with Mackeral Juice yet?

My Knees get damaged too...but its cuz I am 5' tall and have to have the seat so far forward that when I open the door and try to get out the opening is 2' back too far. Had a car dealer tell me one time "oh you will really enjoy the sun roof"....I told him nope does nothing for me this far forward..........SHORT PEOPLE UNITE !!!

As a short person whose best friend is a tall person (I'm 5'0", he's 6'8"), I can say with confidence that it's not a short person's world either - every countertop is too high for me to use without having things nearly at shoulder level, I can't reach the chain for the ceiling fan, and I have to be literally picked up and tossed into any car that's more than about three inches off the ground. G can't fit on a bed, I can't get *on* the bed. (When we used to road trip together, we discovered that the best use of space was to shove both the beds together so he had a little more room to stretch out, and I slept in the chair... cause if I ever got *up* on one of the beds, I'd never get back *down* again without breaking something, so might as well give him both of 'em.)

It is *exactly* an average sized person's world, and if you're too far off the mean in either direction, you don't exist!

(And yes, people do call G and I "Mutt and Jeff." We just calmly tell gawkers that we're not the same species, or that we're experiments that escaped from the lab.)

Being 6'6" has it's advantages and disadvantages.

Vaping MBV Lightspeed at work in a Mini PT2 let's me know the mini is WAY to small of a tank for Lighspeed. I need to use my G50 with it!

 

[diggyb]

Being 6'7" has its advantages...

I always get asked if I play basketball
People always ask me to get stuff of the tops of shelves at the store
I hit my head on every ceiling fixture ever created. My friend thinks he's cute, and actually keeps track at his house. Triple digits, people. Triple digits.
I don't fit anywhere comfortably.


..wait - I think I got something wrong...
