Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Lannie]

Do you use ejuicemeup?? You just put in the % for each flavor and it tells you how many mls that is.

I know this is from PAGES and PAGES ago, but I'm just now catching up! LOL! I used to use a calculator, and I still do if I'm making an odd amount of juice (like a test batch or something), but because I have 60 ml bottles, and I only use 1mg nic now, or no nic at all, I just use the .6 ml multiplied by however many percent I need... my computer with the juice calculators is down here in the dungeon, and I mix my juice up in the kitchen, and the stairs are steep and dark and nasty, so I try not to go up and down them any more than I have to. I slipped and fell down them last summer and took quite a knock to the head (I didn't drop my vape, though!) which caused quite a lot of bleeding and bruising. A horse fell on me once, and I don't think it hurt me worse than that tumble down the stairs did. I hate those stairs. I still have a knot on my forehead, 7 months later.

I'm sure it MUST have been vaping that caused me to fall down the stairs. I NEVER fell down the stairs before I started vaping. I should go warn everyone about the dangers of vaping and stairs...

Ok. My Vapor Bank order finally got here. It wasn't packed as beautifully as I had expected. It was packed by 'BB'. I wonder who packed the really nice one.

Anyway, here's the requisite photo of my haul:

From left to right: Gaia, Caravela (with jade drip tip above), Kamry K100, Valkyrie, and Tree of Life. In the box above is my Kayfun stuff: Kayfun, M-tank, M-tank Nano, and Nano SS Glass kit.

I was wondering why I couldn't screw in an atty on the Valkyrie. So, I took the top off and discovered it's a hybrid. Surprise! I went back and looked, and it does say so on the site. I just hadn't noticed.

I can't believe the K100 was only 99 cents!

I think I may just have enough mechs now.

Nice haul ... how 'bout that ... a 99 cent mod.

Spent a week or two scarce here because I was terrified El Whacko had a cancerous tumor. He didn't, thank god. I also thought he had a torn ACL or fractured hip. He doesn't. Vet bill came in under $500 less than I thought it would including meds and Lepto booster. What he does have is bad hips. He'll need one or both hips replaced eventually at $5,000-$7,000 apiece. In less than 17 hours, the meds have gotten him back to his royal PITA self. It was so quiet last last night when he was stoned out of his puny little mind from getting x-rays I vaped very little. Aggravating as he is, I'm vaping normally and breathing better tonight, not to mention Earth is steadily rotating on its axis again.

Oh ... sorry to read about El Whacko's problems.

That, and it causes you to become older

So, if I stop vaping - I get to stay 29...

I put together a order from Vapor Bank, it was a few goodies and driptips then got bummed at the checkout. They won't let me pay with a Canadian visa debit, I was disapointed. There is no choice of country other than US in the billing and the debit address has to match the card address or it won't work. Owell, it was a bunch of things I don't need but can't resist cause of the price.

Lannie, maybe you need a slide! Just for going down of course. Unless you want the exercise.

If you want....

Whoa! EW was sick? No wonder you weren't here! I'm sorry his hips are hurting him- poor pup, but glad it's not cancer. My sister just found out that her Golden, Sara, has cancer, so we are preparing for that. It's going to be really hard to loose Sara. She's been my therapy snuggle for about 10 years now.

Sorry to hear about your puppy's. I can't imagine having something happen to my babies, they are quite the pair of dogs. My Finlee is 10 months old (chocolate labradoodle) and Jake is the brown 4 1/2 month old doodle. They have the same father but different mothers. We also have a 6 year old pom(Abbygale) that Finlee wore out quickly(Abby has a collapsed trachea) and isn't very active or she begins to hack badly. We were devastated when she was diagnosed so were trying to give Abby a easier life with getting Jake to keep Finlee active to not stress Abby out too much.
I have given Finlee a haircut since this pic. At 80 bucks for the groomer for her first cut I almost had a heart attack. I watched a bunch of vids, bit the bullet and did her myself and surprised at how easy it is when you have a GREAT dog that stands on the table and lets you cut her...the little one is going to be more of a challenge since he's is a trouble making little turd but still has a couple months left to have Finlee teach him some manners.

That, and it causes you to become older

Hopefully much older vs continuing smoking.

Yep, does improve the odds!

Okay, fell off my chair laughing. (So did my husband.) You guys get it, so do the critters. El Whacko loves the smell of coffee vape. Wasn't as fond of my key lime vape craze, but likes the current blackberry ADV I'm on. Even the deer seem to appreciate it.

House chicken. That rocks! Does she have a name?

Kinda surprised Lannie didn't answer this, because she named her Chicklet when we found her. We were going out to do evening chores and heard this peeping, so went to investigate. This newly hatched chick was on the horse corral side of the chicken run, crying for help. We looked for her nest but found no other chicks (seldom does one hatch all by itself) so we assumed that either they died or a predator chased the hen off and ate the babies - except this one. We could not just leave her there or she would have died. We found no hen who was willing to claim her. We could not just put her in the coop because if no hen is protecting her, the other chickens would kill her. So Lannie took her in the house and made her a cardboard box, etc., while I did the chores. Next day I made her a cage and we kept her in the house. We can't put her back with the other chickens now because she thinks she is a people and they wouldn't accept her in the flock without a fight anyway. Anyway, back to the name. I got tired of calling her Chicklet (which is more a description of what she was instead of a real name), so one day while she was eating her toast on the kitchen table, I asked her what her real name was. She stopped and looked at me, raised her head as high as possible and looked me straight in the eye (I had glasses protecting me from sudden pecks) and she said, in a loud voice, "Eeep! Eeep!" So that's what I have been calling her ever since. Lannie still calls her Chicklet.

That, and it causes you to become older

You know, I have been trying to figure that one out for years and years and I had always thought it was merely the passage of some strange concept called "time." I am so happy to finally know what it is that is making me older.

 

[2legsshrt]

Wolf, that's wonderful and you are forgiven. You do know though, that's about as time-consuming and expensive as getting a pup. I'm kidding. I hope you two get along famously through eternity. I only wish you the best, though I do miss hearing about Mum. Please give her a group from all of us.

Dude, you need your strength more than ever now.

Yep, I like it better which means most others don't. They are so predictable.

You and me both. I'm paying over 50% less for the stuff I actually really like now. I don't have a problem with people paying a higher price for what they like and what works for them, I'm just very grateful that I found what works for me a year or two ago and that the price has significantly dropped. Damned dog is eating up the difference.

Glad you posted that, many don't know about it. The Chinese New Year goes at least a/over a week. For some workers, it's the only time they get to go home and see their families. Production/shipping screeches to a halt. Let's not blame the workers (we don't on this thread), let's just say it's the system's fault and wish the workers a good holiday, they deserve it, along with our gratitude.

Nice haul! I should have ordered more. Apparently your guy packed my box also. Tossed my invoice or I would check.

That is a really, really nice drive! I've done it (plus about 100 miles farther north) for about 55 years.

What meds did they put him on? We lost one of our girls who also had bad hips and they put her on a med that helped but it is also really har on their liver, can't remember the name but it's pretty common that they use found the name call Rimadyl. It works and does make the dogs life much better but eventually it has some bad side effects. It did make her life much better for almost a year but she eventually had liver failure. But for an older dog is sure makes a difference and she was able to do things she used to which was great. I'm not trying to alarm you but it works. A friend of ours spent $10000 on his dog and in the end it didn't make any difference having the surgery. It's a sad thing We know our Sadie was one of 2 sisters we had half German Shorthair half Weinmaraner and she was the one who always loved to chase the ball and run. I don't know if that is what made her have the hip problems her sister was alway the mellow one she would chase the ball once and that was enough for her. That was Sally she outlived Sadie by 3 years, just letting you know if that is what they put him on.

So, does she know her names? Does she lay any eggs? If so, nice to have an occasional egg, a gift of gratitude. Is she potty-trained?

 

[2legsshrt]

This was them.

The little one in back was BooBoo she was the Boss.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

And one in the background that does not run with the big dogs?

She knows when we call her either name. She's not old enough yet to lay eggs. Potty trained? Yeah, she potties whenever and wherever she likes (if Lannie or I does not clean it up quickly, the Doberman will). Lannie is talking about making her a diaper. Typically, she sits on Lannie's arm during her early morning news/coffee time, then on the back of one of the kitchen table chairs while we're sucking [more] coffee in the morning, spends most of her day in the cage, then after evening chores and dinner is done, we spend about an hour in front of the boob tube and Eeep sits on my knee to watch TV, then back in her cage for the night. The five cats and two dogs who also live in the house do not bother her at all.

 

[2legsshrt]

Sorry didn't even realize I was on the Front they kinda run together these days.

 

[2legsshrt]

And one in the background that does not run with the big dogs?

Nope she didn't even bother, she knew she would get the ball in the end. She was older then them and we got the girls when they were 5 weeks old. Had never been separated. Even in the same kennel when they got spayed. After Sadie died we were asleep and Sally always slept on the couch with Sadie we heard this noise and looked and Sally was sitting on the couch howling. Took her about a month to get over not having Sadie around.

 

[2legsshrt]

BooBoo raised them.
