Older People 55 and Up

Thought I would send you all one of the last roses of the season. We will shortly be cutting them back in preparation for spring and another season of beautiful roses.

Sent with my arthritic thumbs with proofreading help from the hound!

Gorgeous color on that rose Matt!!


The bad news is I put an order in for some juices the other day, got the order and then realized I didn't order my plum. The good news is today an email came saying RTS was having a sale on the TFA juice, coupon FLAVORS15 for 15% off. There's discounts for other things too if you're signed up for their notices. So, I did order my plum and also got some 120 ml glass jars so I can mix up more base. Seems I'm mixing base more often than I'd like. I like the KISS method so mixing should be as simple as possible.

Matt, that photo sure is beautiful.

I haven't gotten out to prune everything down yet, because the gardens are looking so lush and full of blooms. Of course, we're in Fl., but it does have to be done each fall.

Usually by now it's all done, but looks like it will be at least another 2 weeks before I tackle it all. I took pictures yesterday of them while it was raining, and it made for such a lovely haze. I don't take many pics in the rain, but I'm glad I got these shots.

R2R, yep, the Deals and Steals thread can get you in trouble if you let it. I'm at a point now where I delete most of the notification emails; mind you I said delete, not unsubscribe!

Janet, mixing for both yourself and Mike, I can understand you're mixing too often, so those larger bottles are an excellent idea.

A few months ago, I put a juice away in a dark corner to steep and forgot all about. That poor lonely bottle got re-discovered and am I ever glad I found it.......I can't remember why I isolated it, but then again, I can't remember a lot of things these days.

Hi all. Anyone know of any Facebook Groups for us 50+'s?

There's no end to the FB groups for vaping - but none that I know of geared to older folks.

I just ordered my third IBTanked! Love the ones I got in Vegas and decided to go ahead and get another one. This one will be 22mm XL with a purple and gold mottled tank and old gold caps with an old gold bishop tip! Come on vape mail!

Now to decide which juice to use in it! Might just have to go with the zombie apocalypse from AiV. It is delicious! Have a few new ones of those coming too...

Shh, don't tell anyone those are Vikings colors... the way they played last night I wouldn't want them to feel I was rewarding them!

I did deals and steals, and got around 80. plus dollars worth of stuff of about 45.00...and a note saying it shipped already!

 

[mattiem]

By the by, exactly what was my crime that I am being sent to the dungeon for a month... 8-o
In the dark no less?
Do I get to take the first bottles with me or is somebody else going to be vaping them...
I suspect I need to get this figured out!

I know that I will get my daily grins when I come in here but I literally LOL at this one. Thank you for the wonderful belly laugh.

 

[Semiretired]

Hmmm, well I had the place to myself pretty much yesterday and today only Mattiem drops in for a short visit. Well what can I do since I got the place all to myself...

I could offer Coffee and Donuts



But there is no one to share with me.

I could offer up Cake and Ice Cream



But again, no one to share with.

I could redecorate - some nice comfy and colorful pillows



But no one to enjoy them...

I could be mean and even a little devilish



But I can't because these are friends...

Well at least I can drop a not and let them know I said HI

Howdy Semi! Have a seat and share some of this Creme brulee I made last week. It's pretty good if I do say so myself, who shouldn't... Pass me a cushion please, they look quite comfortable!

 

[mattiem]

Hi Semi. Sorry I missed your visit but thanks so much for leaving all the goodies and comfy pillows.

 

[MikeE3]

Hi Semi - oh my gosh - that was such a nice post. Sorry but RL has gotten in the way of my ECF time. That and co-op threads, when I get some time 'here' I'm over there checking on things.

 

[balwin]

Hmm, Bruce gathered up my creme brulee and appears to be gonna hangen on to it for a bit... I tried the blueberry from Saturday, think I will need to tweak it a bit, maybe a bit of sweetener? Halftime, guess I will switch over to some twas brilling... I've grown very fond of that juice!

I couldn't decide if I wanted the purple chromed vamo or the purple aluminum vamo to go with my new IBTanked... finally gave up and ordered both of them. My X6 battery is getting weak anyway so would need replaced soon. I think I have grown overly fond of vamo v2s. I know the 3 had the ring and then menu option but I prefer the vamo v2. After they get done with their vacation in Hong Kong I will have to decide how I like the aluminum. I suspect it will be good for on the 4wheeler, the holder I got in Vegas fits them good but I worry vibration will be too hard on the gun metal on my old one...

A nice Jwrap would solve the problem of getting scratched up. Just got one for my ZMax and love it. Once I Jwrapped my ProVari the ZMax looked so plain. For $13.50 it looks like I've got a whole new device.

Yes, I know, Iffy is going to be pestering for a photo - I'll get to that tomorrow. Gotta go get some sleep now. I heard it helps prevent Alzheimer's - that and chocolate. Oh happy day!

Noted da 'NirvanaCake_IceCream' in da source link. Let's see...

Pecans, check
Chocolate, check
Frosting, check
Ice Cream, check
Diaper bib fer moi, check

I'll utilize da pillows after I'm finished...

Don't forget to add 12mg of nic to that!

I know J wraps are pretty but for a little more I get an entire vamo v2... I seem to be collecting them these days. I'm good with that. Saw all kinds in Vegas, held several, considered them and kept coming up just loving my vamo. Maybe some day I will want something different but for the moment it is either a 1300 twist or a vamo for me. Might be a rut but I am happy in it!

 

[Semiretired]

Thanks for the replies. Mike, I know about RL taking over - I fight with mine everyday. I got the back porch roof finished on Wed and the pine straw raked yesterday. Now all I have to do is the other 856 things on my to do list and I will finally be able to take a rest. Aww well - it keeps me busy... It keeps me from getting bored - and soaking my sore bones gives me something to do also.

I was taking a break yesterday and came here to enjoy a few posts - so hence my post. I spent yesterday afternoon mixing up my ejuice. Mixed up 8 30ml bottles this time. Should last me a while. I reverted and mixed a few sweet flavors this time - been a while since I vaped stuff like strawberry cheesecake, but had to try it one more time.

 

[MikeE3]

One leak, two leaks, real life yuck. So I buy a new cartridge to fix the leaky sink faucet. Go to turn off the water under the sink and one of the shut off valve is frozen. Get it to turn and now can't get it to stop leaking. I can either shut the water off to the whole house or replace fix it. hmm, guess it's got to be replaced. huh!

 

[Flowersoul]

Speaking of water leaks.......our water heater tank is kaput! Leaking was so small, we didn't even notice it at first until I had to go in the garage barefoot to get something out of my car!

Thank goodness it's in the garage where no real damage can be done!

We've been in this house for 11 years, and it had been here for about 5 years before that, so, it's bye-bye and a big thank you for serving us so well!
