Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

[MikeE3]

When I see snow closings (either the funny panics of our southern folks, or the slightly "realer" panics of my midwestern neighbors) it reminds me of the winter I spent at Michigan Tech ('61-'62) when they had 317" (that's 26 feet or 8 meters) of snow on the ground by March (when I quit school - they had more before the end of winter). For some examples check out these pics:

Here's an example:

BTW, "normal" winter totals for Houghton are in the 200 inch range.

All I can say about that is:

Okay - Thought I would try here . . . I've been looking and looking to no avail yet . . . And now I need some information and hoping to find some assistance from those who might know. I do not have large storage areas, nor space in my apt size refrig/freezer, nor do I really want to get into DYI . . . The only thing I can find is Large bottles of unflavored Nic and VG/PG Base . . . So - I've been trying to find a vendor who sells unflavored e-liquid 24mg in smaller quantity (30 - 60 ml bottles) that is 70vg/30pg (or even 60/40 or 50/50) at a reasonable price. AND - Also has Liquid Menthol & Kolada additive too . . . Anyone got any suggestions ? ? ?

Thanks . . .

Try ECX, 24mg Unflavored Nicotine Base

Although getting it in a higher nic and cutting with the appropriate amounts of PG or VG would be cheaper.

I agree. But I now have trouble focusing or consintrating on a subject. I used to read constantly. I always had a book or 2 in progress & always had 1 with me. Since the surgeries that stopped & makes me really sad.

My problem with reading is slightly different. Some writers use so many characters, I can't keep up with them. I used to page back to see who they were; now, I just keep cruising along. Maybe I just read out of habit, now days.

Stephen King drove me crazy with that yrs ago when I was an avid fan. Bring back a character from several chapters prior.

Once it becomes apparent that there are many characters, I evaluate whether I want to continue reading the book. My first reading of Anna Karenina, I took notes of the characters and who they were and personality characteristics. I think that book report was about 15 pages.

Has anybody heard anything from Semi recently?

Thank you... I know they go there for a few months every year, but it's been a year since he's posted anything and I was worried.

If single spaced 8 point, that might have been enough to list all the names and their variations.

OMG! I agree with Mike!

When I read Moby Dick in high school, it seemed like I didn't know every other word. So, I looked them up.

They weren't real words! After that, I just relaxed and let the feeling of the words flow.

Oh, yeah. Russian novelists and the characters with variable names.

Phooey

They have a preference for variable nicknames with various degrees of emotion. Remember that the middle name ends in -vitch, a variation of the father's name.

Good morning Mary. It's a crispy morning, but the sun is shining and the sky is blue.

My problem with reading is slightly different. Some writers use so many characters, I can't keep up with them. I used to page back to see who they were; now, I just keep cruising along. Maybe I just read out of habit, now days.

Usually when there's a lot of characters in a book I try to keep them straight - for awhile. If they start to blur together I just keep going because often they'll make sense later on. Sometimes it's more a matter of what a person did and not not necessarily who did it. I don't usually read books to study them, a book should be enjoyed and if it takes too much work it's not worth it to me.

Didn't he say that this time they were going and were staying much longer than usual?

Phil did say longer, but not how much. They are goin' to take a first time vacation this trip!

- I really appreciate the information and links to the products . . . AND - Your absolutely correct as usual, it probably would be less expensive if I got the seperate materials to mix myself, however like I mentioned previously, I don't have the storage space NEEDED - nor do I really want to get into DIY at all (other then adding the Menthol & Kolada drops), especially since "My" mind keeps trying to escape "Me" more often then I want it too . . .

​

Matter of fact, it looks as though I need to throw-out all the pre-mixed e-liquid I have stored over the past couple of years which I think has gone bad (other then the WTA I still have on hand) . . . That's why I am looking to purchase some basic e-liquid now . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Happy to help

Getting the nic in, say, twice your normal and cutting it in half with PG or VG, as desired, is pretty simple and would greatly cut the cost. And a single bottle of PG or VG doesn't take a lot of extra space. Used to do that when I was still vaping store flavors. Not really DIY, which, yes, can take a LOT of space with all the flavors!

Sorry does not pertain this morning. Didn't mean to worry anyone. I feel better this morning, Thank You everyone.

Now, wait a minute, Pat. I used to think you kept going because of Ginny. What's her life going to be, without you to look after?
