Well - I am glad that it did not take me as long to get thru this thread as the Older Folks one
(((((((((all y'all))))))))))) man oh man have I missed everyone!! I am finally back online with my computer. We're having a ton of wind so the internet itselft keeps going on and off occassionally, but other than, I'm finally back!!!!
Hi Deb - welcome back here too!
Hi all,
just got through catching up on this thread- a quick note for Kari and anyone else having a drop off of flavor after
vaping all day. A quick tip I use for that problem,- I use vision mini nova,s and just add a DROP of
vaping zone concentrated carmel candy, for example, directly into the one I have been using for the day. Or might just use a drop of a different flavor like cream or different tobacco, whatever. It makes for the flavor to pop again.
OH thanks for the tip. I will give that a try - I think the next DIY I am going to try will be the peppermint and then that might be just what I need to add to some of the others.
Sure was glad to read that the dogs were ok - hope you are too
As for what to stock up on due to da FDA scare, just da nic for now. Everything else will be available regardless their decision (for da near future). The only thing I fear is nic price increases due to regulations and/or taxes. But, I should be good to go for quite a while now. Even if nuttin' happens, I'm still set!
Love life and take care!
Iff, so glad you posted this. I have been thinking I might need to consider ordering some kind of MOD that takes batteries - but I just know that I am not ready to make that leap yet
So much to learn with all this vaping gear and I just want to get to the point where it becomes routine before making any further changes - like learning about different batteries and chargers.
I haven't done a lot of stocking up on nic - but plan to with my next orders. Just hoping I can have some success with DIY some juice - so I know how much pre-made to order.
NEWBIE crashing in at the invite of Debaroo. I'm a bit underage... 49... but hopefully ya'll will let me stay and party anyway!

Thanks for the invite DEB!
natasha - welcome, glad to have you join the group here too. Hope the vaping is going a little better today.
It was a tough loss but a good game. I will survive but will be a bit sad for the players that worked so hard all year and most of them are really good guys! My luck has to change soon. lol but I'll have to just keep tumbling on down the trail.
Tx - sure hope you are doing well with your treatments - prayers still coming your way!
I too was cheering for the 49ers for you. There sure was a lot of excitement in Vegas and I was able to peek at the score from time to time as I wandered down the strip. Glad to see you are still tumbling and the team will too!
I'll take an early spring. Honestly, we haven't really had winter yet, not for Maine anyway... What little snow we got is gone, just doesn't feel right somehow...
Oh Jewels - I am thinking that you might be really wanting spring today - I hope the winter you are getting doesn't last too long
Ain't life grand. She was so pleasantly surprised that she was bubbling over with joy.
mattiem - that is great to hear about your sister. I have one younger sister still smoking. I haven't had a chance to talk with her about vaping - she lives 6 hours north of me and I agree it is hard to help long distance. I figured if those close to me are not asking me about it - it would be even harder when she is not close. So I hope that as I continue they will become interested too.
On another note, my mom continues to have mini strokes. She has had 8 since 1-12. We are waiting for an appointment with a neurologist to get to the bottom of this. Her GP thinks they are mini strokes, but I'm not completely convinced. There are a lot of other neuro problems that could cause her symptoms. It is very worrisome, though. I am doing better with it all in my head, but my body takes off with its own symptoms because of my anxiety and panic disorder. She had another episode tonight, and we sat with her until it was over. Yesterday, for the 1st time, I left her home alone while I went to do her banking and shopping, glad it didn't happen then.
My mom in law is having cataract surgery next week, so there will be daily trips to her home from various family members for her eye drops. She just can't get an eye drop in her eye, LOL. Meanwhile, my dad in law is becoming increasingly difficult to have at home. He is often violent and unmanageable from his dementia. My MIL is presently waiting for an opening in a home for him. Never a dull moment.
Jewels - so sorry that mom is still not doing well. I was sure hoping to come back and see that she was doing better. You keep hanging in there - you know that we are all here for you
Oh - and the doggie socks look like a great idea. I have to send a picture to my son. They have two that are slipping and sliding all over their hardwood floors. Looks like it would not only help them - but would also benefit the floors too
Sure had to

at all the posts on the doggie socks.
I already had my coffee and donut but how depressing my taste buds are just flat dead today??? Woke up this morning and can't taste anything even my cup of coffee tasted like water...
Oh I can so relate to this. Sure hope yours recovered faster than mine have. Slowly getting better - but this is so frustrating isn't it.
I sure hope all stay safe and that the storms are over fast. I really hate snow - so today I am very happy that we are sunny an 45F. Looking pretty nice for the next few days anyway - only a slight chance of flurries. I will take that over what all those down east are having to deal with today.
Yah! I finally caught up. Have to run now.
