Had a great night and slept well myself. Good news Matt and glad you had a nice night. When my phone alarm went off, dad was already dressed and waiting on his breakfast. YAY!

That's a good thing. He wanted to drive to the drug store but I told he couldn't yet. (whew! he listened to me for a change). So I gave him a jigsaw puzzle to do and I went to pick up his 5 prescriptions and went to the $STORE. I really needed some time away, even if I was only gone for an hour. Got Rachel and BabyRuth a new squeaky toy. How could I turn down a. . . pink rat?

but here it is Friday and that patch of my finger is still numb. I may have severed the nerve.
I'm praying that it will heal and I won't go about the rest of my life with a finger numb on one side, but at least I didn't lose it.
One step at a time. I'm sure we'll all be sending good vibes, prayers, etc. In the meantime, be patient. It takes time to heal!
Man my wife still has blood in her stool. Just got the test back today. She doesn't go in for colonoscopy and endoscopy till next Thursday. We are just hoping it is something like an ulcer and not something worse. She was in the hospital while we were on vacation for a day and a half that they charged $13000 for and didn't even do one there said she was ok didn't even check to see if she still had blood in her stool. This f-n medical stuff is really messed up. They don't do what they should and way over charge you for it. Our doc only works M-W-F so guess we can't find out anything till tomorrow. We are just hoping and praying it is not cancer.
I agree with you about the medical profession. I've had a lot of uncaring, incompetent doctors in my life. I hope everything turns out ok. Like others have said, there are many other possibilities besides cancer. A lot of less scary possibilities.
More good news. My wife is breaking out her Provari and going to give it another try. She did it for a year and then a bunch of crap came up and shes back up to 1 1/2 packs a day. I just tested it out and of course being a Provari works like new even the Nautilus is still in good shape. Think I will mix her up more juice the other has been sitting for over a year. Wish I could get her on some of my flavors but she like FA 3 or 7 leaves. Can't remember but I know I bought a new bottle of the flavor. I really can't stand tobacco flavors anymore. But whatever blows her dress up right? Just get off the stinkies. In good shape for her cause I kept the 4 Nauti's and 3 Provari 2.5's one is brand new. I was hoping she would try it again. Plus my Zivipf NiFe48 is on it's way so will report on that. From what I hear you can use a 2.5mm 8 wrap microcoil just like Kanthal except only .4ohms and dryburnable plus works great in TC. Actually only .28ohms TCR .00405
Yay!

It's 7 Leaves. It has a masculine smell, to me anyway. I like it occasionally. But, can't take it on a regular basis. Might want to offer her a variety so she doesn't get sick of just one flavor.
I think that I will be a zombie Santa this year.
DO IT!
'Mornin porchers...have a great day!
Good Morning Everyone...
Good morning! Er, afternoon!
Me too! I'd much rather have dinner for breakfast, about 2 hours or so after I'm up. Mike thought I was nuts, but he's used to it by now. We often have breakfast for dinner and that's one of Mike's favorites. Don't know about dessert before dinner though, it might kill my appetite for the main meal. Appetizers do that to me when we're out, but then that usually means I take home what I can't eat - and then I have it for breakfast the next day! Maybe I should order dessert first!
Just eat the dessert or appetizers. Then save the rest for later. Or, skip the dessert/appetizers, whichever appeals to you more. Something that really surprised me when I got divorced was how much I enjoyed eating what I wanted when I wanted. I actually lost a lot of weight because I got so much more pleasure from just those first few bites of WHAT I WANTED TO EAT!
I need to find what can be done about my back so I can walk more.
Freedom of movement, yes! Good luck at the doctor's.
Unbelievable nights sleep. I went up at 8:30 and turned on the boob tube to watch that last half of the "This Old House Hour" and the next thing I know it was 10:30 and the person on TV was prattling something about cooking. Flicked it off and the next thing I know it was 8:00 a.m. Now that's a good night's sleep. :thumb:
I'm jealous! But happy for you!

Does anyone know if they get this c__p policy of the FDA through when it would take effect?
Everyone says 2 years. But, I don't believe it. It'll just give other government agencies an excuse to tax it out of existence in the meantime.

Been wanting those bacon bowls for awhile now! But they would run outta bacon if I could make bowls out of it!!! :lol:

Glad you and Matt both got a great night's sleep. I didn't sleep hardly at all. It's stopped now, but been pouring rain all day.

Seriously, do not hesitate to 'v-arm' yourselves, as some states' residents have recently learned the hard way. Regardless of all the info/propaganda available nowadays, go with your gut! Panic (?)... no just just follow the money (always) and prepare! We as citizens have been blindsided many times in my lifetime. First time, shame on 'you'; second time, shame on me.

BTW, it took me at least three times to learn that lesson.
doh.gif
Yes, at times in the past, I've been naive, but not so much any more!

I've never regretted being 'prepared' once I recognized all is not as 'it' seems regardless of the 'daily crisis'. In fact, some of my preps have been better investments than any commercial financial vehicle.
Yepper, I'm an ol' vaping fart...

Good to hear 2legs ... me suggests you mix her some higher nic juice than you use. Aren't you vaping like, 3 mg ... that probably won't cut it for someone trying to make the switch over.
Yeah thats what I use thats what she used when she quit for almost a year also. She didn't like it stronger.

WoIlfenstark, post: 16793535, member: 222707"]Matt does your body ever catch up on sleep ?
I may go a few days on say 3-4 hours but after a while I'll put in a good one maybe 9 hours or more.
Not really. I went to bed last night around 8:30, got up this morning at 8:00 so let's call it 12 hours and it's 7:50 now and I'm tired and planning on going to bed in a short while. If the catching up on sleep thing worked then, I shouldn't be tired.

Had a great day today up to a point. Got a ton done today. Worked on closing the pool then some catch up work on getting the motorhome ready to sell. Then around 4pm I smacked my left knee on the corner of the portable generator out in the workshop. I was hopping around on one foot cussing up a storm until the pain subsided somewhat. Knee is bothering more than usual now. Anyway, just went to the ufamism preparing to commission a naval officer and put him on sea duty, when I dropped trow I noticed a big old gash on the top of my knee. Just above the kneecap. Just lucky it wasn't a little lower or I'd be laid up bad as the kneecap covers all the bad parts of my knee.

if she doesn't like the flavor above 3 mg, she may want to supplement the vaping with some nic lozenges or something then

Yay! See, everybody has their own timetable. She's lucky to have you there to help guide her. And maybe she should try even the flavors she didn't like before. Never know, might taste different to her now. I was shocked to find that I don't like any of the flavors I was sure I'd like.

Glad to hear you can get the MRI done. Hope it can tell what's going on. If it doesn't show anything, push the Dr to figure it out. I'm going in the 4th to start the process on somethings I need to get looked at, too. I need to find what can be done about my back so I can walk more.

I've learned the hard way that if you're not getting anywhere with your doc you have to push them about your options. Ask questions, even ask them what you should be asking. I'm sure you won't have any trouble speaking up!!

Hey everybody, I have a new signature! My Radius arrived today - 3 days after we ordered it!! It's the cabernet color, but in the daylight it almost looks more brown. Thought it would be more reddish, but I've loving it anyway. And it's not slippery. It's got a replaceable battery which is good especially with the FDA playing these nasty games. I justified it as my 4 year vaperversary present.
