Mark I'm pretty sure I got all the flavors from Bull City....

That Lime Ahh Licious was pretty good....I only went through 10,000 bad flavors to find it....Like the failed attempt to clone Mountain Dew.....

Got the sub-floor installed....Felt a bump from the Tacoma when I went for a couple of Liquid Nails tubes....On the way home I suspect I lost a coil....Tacomas have 3 coils and 6 cylinders so I was running on 4...Read the codes when I got home and that along with a call to Cuzzo further the coil suspicions....I had the Dodge engine washed for the new gaskets....Looks like I'll have to wash it again as I gotta drive it at least too the parts store....Dangitt!!!!!

 

[markfm]

Thanks for the lead!

Only one item I can't find: Lemon Meringue SC Real Flavors

Not quite sure what to substitute. There's Lemon meringue tart - VT, or lemon meringue pie - (either FW or a V2 - Cap). Maybe that Lemon meringue pie V2-Cap?

(I have NF French vanilla, Bavarian cream, and Cream for my mellowing flavors, usually use about 1% of one of them with my NF Vanilla all day vape at 10%)

Thanks for the recipe Bov (and ElDee)!
BullCity for the win!

Bov, I have had my gallbladder removed years ago. You will feel so much better with that sucker out! Hugs and keep us posted.

A solo afternoon in the hair salon was a smashing success.
I always wonder if these poor people feel ripped off having their hair done by the less practiced beautician, when they get me. Haha. I was both surprised and thrilled when my last client of the day motioned for me to bend down by her so she could tell me (loudly in my ear *wink*) “Don’t tell Debbie, but I like the way you do my hair much better!” She made my whole day!!! I guess I’m not as rusty as I thought I was? Haha

Have a great day everyone!

 

[FranC]

Good morning,folks Sounds like you're doing well at the nursing home,Tracy.

 

[Bovinia]

Funny thing is I'm more worried about Bella's care if I have to be in the hospital a night or two than I am about me! But my neighbor (cell phone fiasco guy) and I have become pretty good friends, and Bella adores him. He has offered to keep her company, fed, and well loved Pokey also offered, but Rusty is right next door, and has the time to play with her out in the yard, and hang out with her in my house.

Mark, I used the Capella's Lemon Meringue Pie in place of the SC Real Flavors Lemon Meringue, and like it. Not having the SC RF brand to compare, I don't know how much difference in taste there is. And I also order from Bull City. To be transparent, Dee blessed me with all of his flavorings, and some vape gear when he decided to quit vaping...a gift I am very grateful to have received

Tracy, sounds like you have made quite the positive impression on your Settin' with the Oldies!! I knew you would, tho! And thank you for the encouragement w/r to the gallbladder

 

[El Dee]

Pretty sure I never found the Real Flavors and substituted the Capellas from the git go....I only used the Super Sweet for one mix session....Those sessions would produce over 2000 MLs though....I'd probably shelve or more than likely trash the Super Sweet....Just a couple of drops dominates a flavor profile....

Trust there are times when I think I'll sit and have a dang nice long vape session....There's no vaporizer though...

Gotta go and try and score a coil for the Taco....Research reveals Denso makes the factory coils so that's what I want......

 

[Bovinia]

@Wharf Rat try to get a decent night's sleep tonight! You have a lot of people sending you love and prayers for tomorrow

Dee, I'm more than happy to send back anything you want if you change your mind on vaping! And the Super Sweet is mostly sucralose, so I can put it to use in my (not so) diabetic diet

 

[El Dee]

Bov once I'm done.....I'm done.....Sheet gets on my nerves sometimes and that's when I wanna sit and puff my electric pipe....I've moved on though sometimes the urge returns....I'm good knowing everything is going to good use....

Dang old Toyota was throwing a multiple cylinder mis-fire code....I went out this a.m. and grabbed a coil and an oil filter....Turned out to be a plug wire shorting out....The plugs are located in a tube in the center of the valve cover so even though I watched everything run @1a.m. the sparks weren't visible...the wire was bad down inside the tube next to the spark plug....So I returned the coil and made the store cover the wires under warranty...I bought one spark plug and a can of fuel injection cleaner to run in hopes all that raw fuel doesn't ruin my catalytic converter....So got the Tacoma back on line.....tomorrow I'll install the valve covers on the Dodge and change the oil....

 

[Bovinia]

Glad you got the Taco back into operation, Dee.

Bella is one of those dogs who notices anything different or out of place. She is currently losing her mind in the back yard because I left a lawn chair out of place

No word yet on the ultrasound appt.

Thinking about you, Wharf

 

[markfm]

I was thinking it was time to contemplate nic purchase, turns out I still had 600ml in the freezer - 1000 day supply.

I'm set for another couple years [emoji106]

 

[Bovinia]

With the lawn chair back in it's usual place, Bella was happy...until I put up the clothesline that I cemented the pole for last week

It's one like this ...I put a purple pool noodle on the bottom half of the pole to help her remember that it's there when she gets the zoomies!

 

[Bovinia]

Want to let everyone know that Wharf is recovering and doing fine. I don't know the details, but one of his blockages was 99.9%, so this truly was a life saving procedure for him.

Get well soon...we love you @Wharf Rat

 

[Wharf Rat]

Hey All.... Yes it was Bov.
So it turns out the right coronary artery was 99.9% blocked. When they tried to thread the wire through the RCA, it was a complete blockage. It took 2 stents to completely open the whole right side. The interesting thing is the left side had been growing veins to the right side of the heart to feed it.
I was there overnight and was released yesterday. I have not had any pain including my right wrist. Though the was no heart attack, I am on a blood thinner that is used for heart attacks.
It was nice to sleep in my own bed.

 

[Bovinia]

I didn't know how soon you would feel like updating, Wharf, but so happy you are doing well!

"There but for the grace of God..."

 

[Wharf Rat]

The only thing that really bothered me Bov, was my vision. By last night it had pretty much gone away and no vision issues today.

 

[Bovinia]

That must have been a bit scary, Wharf! My vision got pretty blurry before we got my blood sugar under control. Now it's back to it's regular blurriness lol!

Forgot to mention that I also got all my blood work results, and everything was good. I think this is the first time in my life that my cholesterol numbers were in normal range! No statins for me...yay!

I'll ping my Dr's office again next week about the ultrasound, but my Dr will be in Jamaica next week. Fortunately, I've had no more pain since last week. I told Pokey that eating that bucket of high fat ice cream probably made my gallbladder have a seizure, and spit that stone all the way into next year

 

[908Tracy]

Wharf I’m so happy you had that procedure, and you’re doing well! Turning cartwheels here in nj for you!

Bov gall bladders are buggers. I can remember just not feeling well after eating, no pain at all, just unwell. The surgeon offered up my stone in case I’d like to make jewelry out of it, it was so big! Ew!!! I declined of course but kept the pictures of the ugly thing.

Rest wharf! <3

 

[Bovinia]

This was a burning pain behind my lowest right rib and thru to my back. Felt like a hot branding iron on the inside. In the past, it would be a dull ache along with nausea for a couple of hours and then go away...and would happen if I ate an extra rich, fatty meal. It was never anything I even thought about bringing to a Dr's attention until now.

And being the career nurse that she is, Pokey is my Mama Bear! She isn't going to let me blow it off now that I'm feeling fine

 

[908Tracy]

Yay for mama bears!!! <3 Stay on her pokey!!!

I took oldest and youngest daughters to have sparkles (tinsel strands) put in their hair today at a local event in the town bo works at. It looks so cool even this mama bear is sparkling with them!!! Bo met us in town for lunch afterwards. It was a nice day, even though it has been raining miserably since last night. who can be sad when you are sparkling?!?!
My oldies are going to LOVE it!<3

 

[Bovinia]

Sounds fun! I had a list of things I intended to do yesterday, but ended up doing a whole lot of nothing! Bella and I got our 2 mile walk done, and it was an all day nope nope nope after that
