Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

Lol. It actually looks better bigger, Retired. My mind was filling the spaces I couldn't quite see with freakier imagery. How is there room in your mouth for that tongue, Patrick?

Well, obviously there isn't

Say, @kross8, have you heard of robinhood stock trading platform? If you have, you can safely ignore the rest of this post, but I think I'm going to open an account. It's no-frills, but, with free trades, it will be beneficial to me, considering that I've been making 2 to 5 trades per week. They have apps for both Apple and Android.

Does that Hobo pry apart, or is it threaded?

The body ring 'locks' onto the base by twisting it. On this page in the third from left picture you can see the two little 'bumps' on the base... the body ring fits over those bumps and you twist the ring 90* to line up with your coil(s). On the two SS ones I have, the fit was kinda loose, so I also ordered these o-rings... after I got the first one and did a little research I found that 1.2mm o-rings are not too common, I just stumbled over those right before I ordered and slapped 'em into my cart... they work well too. The black Hobo 3.1 I just got came out of the box with a super-tight fit tho.

I would never associate myself with fraud. I remember that kind of thinking a few years back in company called BSC,, Enron,, investors deserved to lose all of their money for 'head in the sand' investing.

When investors place their trust in the quality of a Companies reporting, which then is discovered to be essentially false, as was the case with Enron, they are not placing their heads in the sand .. they are trusting the system requirements are being met and the Company is being truthful .. cooking the books is generally not disclosed to shareholders until it's too late ..

Kaez, you sure have had a lot going on! Crossing my fingers for the promotion. Please try to take care of yourself while all this stuff is happening, you can't do everything! Great news on Mrs. Kaez!!!!Prayers for you both.

Thank you, Miss! I'm not trying to do everything... I've pretty much skipped eating and sleeping. ;p Not really, but I do feel like I've been burning the candle at both ends lately. I try to get caught up on rest during the weekends. I didn't do anything at all this past weekend. Snuggled on the couch with the fireplace roaring... gonna need to order more firewood soon.

((((((((((Kaezz and DB))))))))))) so glad the tumors haven't grown and so very hopeful that continued treatment will begin to shrink them! Really hope you get the supervisor position and that you hear soon!

Thankee, Deb! Yep, we'll see what the next two months of treatment brings... should find out around the beginning of March. As for the position, this is his last week, so I should know about that one next week some time.

Here's certainly wishing, and hoping and praying a much better 2017 for you and the Mrs.

Thank you, Mike! We're hoping and praying too, and keeping you, Janet, and all the kids in our prayers as well! Love seeing the pics that y'all post of the grandkids!

Cooking the books has been the norm for many years. its all a mater of 'degrees' it shows up in 10k filings,, comparisons on sales etc.. People spoke up about Enron,, most chose to ignore it, transfer of their funds to wiser hands.

 

[MattB101]

As if ya gotta shovel snow off da driveway now! Besides, just think, ya 'covered' your Amazon Prime...

That's true. Just ...... me off cause the are other functions that I would like to have and remote start was advertised as part of the car. Yeh! If you pay for it!

Gave up on manual knife sharpening went out an purchased an electric knife sharpener the plug in type does knives and scissors, problem solved. Now the wife complains the knives are to sharp for her. Oh well such is life, her turn for the plaster. LOL.

Dull knives cut a lot more people than sharp ones. Something to do with how much force you have to put on it to get it to cut. Makes it slip more.

I was hoping for threaded. I have a very hard time pulling drippers apart to rebuild or rewick.

You mean the AAPL share that I sold on 11/21?

There's a micro-cap I want to buy, but the only platform I can get it on is the slowest one to process my deposit. We'll see how TAUG is doing when my deposit is approved on Wednesday. I've been doing OK with some other small-caps... hard not to make a little with the market going wild.

@Kenna heres the recipe. Still trying to decide if it's worth trying it or not. She is getting 130ml of premixed at 6mg for $24 then I mix it half and half with 50/50 VG and PG making 260ml at 3mg for $24 and she loves it. Don't know if it would have enough flavor if I got 12mg and did it with 4 times making 520ml for $24. Any way here it is.

Bust-a-Nut : http://..................../recipe/99179/Bust-a-Nut

3% Bavarian Cream (FW)
4% Butter Pecan (FW)
7% Hazelnut (FW)
5% Sweet Cream (FW)
1% Sweetener (Sucralose) (FW)

Flavor total: 20%

Well I called the plumber last night to see if he was still plowing driveways and he said he already did it this morning. Can't really tell from here Ginny is going out to look.

That birdbath is on about a 2 1/2 foot pedestal

Piece of cake except for the electrical. Takes a 220V, 60 Amp breaker. Uses a really heavy wire. I'm lucky my heater is right next to the breaker panel. Your up by Orlando right? Might be able to work something out so I can do it for you. Only take a day or so depending. How old is your house?
