Being a proud and responsible member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals), I'll gladly trade ya a Buzz Pro for one of those 'extra' mature does, dressed of course, shipped to da Tampa Bay area! In fact, Saturday I had some apple wood smoked local wild hog sausage that was...

Luv watching the large dog sized Key deer down in my 'home away from home', Big Pine Key.

Although I don't have a ProVari, I can appreciate it's capabilities. Congrats...

The deer in my part of the state should start having their babies in about 4 weeks - late May through Mid-June. My original major, before switching to history, was natural and historical interpretation so I took a lot of wildlife courses. One actually required that we work a deer check station during hunting season and we had to make sure that no one was hunting anything they shouldn't be (in my area it's an automatic 2 deer with a lottery for a 3rd) and then aging and sexing them from just their teeth and jawbones, which is an interesting thing to learn! Most people look at me (cause I'm a girly girl, almost all my clothing is pink) then blink and say, "You did what???" The reply is simple. Deer is good eats - just don't feed me pump steak! I actually like bear too, depending on how its made. I've had bear stew and it was amazing - and it was cooked on the stove my shop teacher kept in the shop (I was one of only 3 girls to take shop a second year) and he'd cook his current "catch" during the day while teaching us how to make screwdrivers and chisels! Yep, that's right, I know how to forge a chisel or a flat head screwdriver...no one ever learned Phillips, lol!

daisygirlie, That was a very hard read as I do care deeply about people and I know there are many out there with problems such as yours and some much worse. In these days there are many that can work but can't find work and that also is very disturbing.

I applaud you and your family for staying together and working together to help each other, we need more of that in our world, IMHO..

I do believe that when a door of opportunity closes that another door of opportunity opens and I do wish you the best in finding that door.

Bless you and Best Wishes

Thanks :) Through the whole thing these past years, it's been up and down - but I stay mostly up! It helps that I do have so much family support and a wonderful fiance! He's in one of his cleaning modes tonight - that's when I call him Martha ;) He's my mood-o-meter and he lets me know when I'm getting waaaaay too manic or if I'm doing something that I shouldn't (like vacuuming or the like).

I call the lawn my own - and we've let a good 120 sq feet grow over naturally - so many bunnies and birds in such a small space! I have sugar maples popping up that I have to cut down (ok, so my brother will cut them down, lol) but at least I can still garden and watch my little "patch" throughout the seasons!

I figure the same thing, where one door closes, another does open (and hopefully it'll open shortly after my SSDI hearing in June!) - there's always something that can be done, even if it's just a day full of movie watching! Speaking of which - I'm going to go see Titanic in 3d tomorrow and I'm gonna stealth vape, tee-hee!

Thanks to the bestest bunch of peeps on the web for putting up with this young'n ;)

If I were you, I'd shut the water supplies of in one of those bathrooms, lock the door from the inside and pull it shut. Then I'd let about 1 1/2 of those acres grow wild.

Ha! See what I just wrote above about yards going wild??? I pulled it off in the CITY! No one can see it though because I have this huge nightmare of a shrub that attracts flies instead of pretties because the scent is putrescent! Love using that word! My dad and brother and Colin will be hacking it back and down to a more tame looking thing after it blooms. It apparently has to go through the bloom to stimulate regrowth - I just can't wait till it doesn't look bigger than my HOUSE on areal maps, lol!

Those Key Deer are so cute and friendly. Years back I was camped on one of the keys with a group of Boy Scouts and each evening while we were sitting around the campfire, the deer would walk right up behind us. I loved it. I didn't even know they existed until the first time they joined us at the campfire. I thought they were just young deer until someone told me about them.

My bud and a Big Pine Key 'local' two years ago during the Sportsman two day lobster season...

I just know you'll all find this fascinating but - we're going to measure my hair tomorrow! I seemed to have stalled out at 32 1/2" but I can tell it's grown and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I've finally hit 3 feet! Woohoo - it's the little things, lol! I haven't had a haircut in 3 years and 2 months. I told myself I'd get a trim (a dusting really) when I hit 3 feet :) I'd cut off enough for Locks of Love - happily - but they won't take colored hair and they *really* dislike lightened hair and I like my color, lol!

Nice ride Harley. Makes me miss mine...

I love it because it looks like a '65 panhead. It's actually a 2005 and my last payment happens in June. I worked for Harley for 4 years as a chrome consultant and parts manager, so was able to do a little accessorizing on it. It has a big bore kit, full exhaust, and power commander module, and chrome in the right places. Mustang seat and rider backrest enables me to ride without pain for the most part....although that part seems to get a little harder each year now....

Working for Harley was an interesting interlude in my life.....took a break from social services and IT for a while....met a lot of really great people!

Sounds just like me. I diy, and I keep coming up with new combinations...:)

Iffy, those are Key Deer? I always wondered what they look like. I LOVE The Keys!! Islamorada, Marathon!!!! And ones I haven't been to yet.

Question:
Do I vape too many juices at the same time? I just made all new cartos today, and there are TWENTY!!!! All flavors I like.

I also have a box of juices I don't like, getting ready to go on the classifieds, cheap. All 12 mg. and 6 mg. If any of you are low mg. vapers, let me know, I'll send you a list before I post 'em.

LOL. Now I'm using acylic lipstick holders. I just got 3 of them in the mail today. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices I really like them, and I'm in the process of reorganizing my stuff a bit. I will still use the ice cube trays for other stuff.

Here's a pic of my ice cube trays with my beloved tanks. You can also see my VV Grip, Redsky Destroyer, VV Hogmod, and 2 Krimson Kustom black box mods. I really enjoy my arsenal.

Wow - I love this setup! (if this part gets boring, skip to my 306 lr review at the bottom, lol) I have a big wide vase that my juices are in (except the big bottles) and I use the cute pink box my TW 510 single bat. kit came in that holds my atties, tank carts and a few other doo-dads that sits on a silver tray I wasn't using. There's another little box on the tray that holds pieces n parts, condoms, spare caps, etc. and I have syringes being held through the handle of the tray, lol! My in-use cartos are in a little crystal bowl next to the tray and I have a Lea or Leo in reach at all times. But I only have 4 510 atties, 2 new 306 lrs, a couple of droppers and my Lea/Leo adapters to worry about. If the disability fairy finally shines her magic light upon me, I'll figure out more and have dedicated drip tips for everything - right now I rotate them and I forget what flavor I've pulled off sometimes and that can make for a *majorly* big flavor combo collision at times! I was thinking about using floss boxes without the lids to hold things, especially because the one large compartment can hold the bodies of my Leo and Leas. I still have 3 working 510 batts, but I haven't used them since I got the Lea Kross so they're in with the doo-dads. I'm trying to figure out, also, where to store all my carts & cartos cause some are HUGE for the Leo systems and take up a lot of space. I may have to clear the top drawer of the end table I'm using to stash that kind of stuff, and probably make it my steeping/decanting storage as well because it has a drawer and a cabinet. It's the match to my dressing table and they're from my Grandma's 30's deco bedroom set. I wasn't in town when the furniture was passed around, but mom knew I wanted the dressing table and she thought I should take the end table too. The good thing is, my brother has the rest of the bedroom set so at least I won't have to fight to get it from cousins - I can just trade some furniture with my brother when/if he tires of it.

But I digress...

I just found this on ebay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIPSTICK-PI...ultDomain_0&hash=item336c9b5aaf#ht_2695wt_814

It's a fake liptstick, and it could be used to hide small juice bottles, carts or atties! It's pretty nifty if anyone worries about people freaking out seeing little bottles and the strange looking vaping doo-dads we toss into a purse or pocket sometimes!

I'd love to see/hear how more people store their goodies - the pictures really help and I get that "Oh wow - I'd have never thought of that!" kind of inspiration, lol! I love the acrylic lipstick holders - they'd be the perfect size for my Leo cartos and carts! I can also see how ice cube trays are pretty close to perfect for them too!


Soooo - I'm using my first 306 lr's. I got them from BWB and the price wasn't bad at all - $5. I decided to give one a shot and ordered an extra 510 atty...but they accidentally sent me to 306's - I figure since they're the same cost as their 510 lr's, it was OK to not worry about the switch. I'm in L*O*V*E love with these things! The first one was a bit of a road test - I was at least smart enough to order one drip tip - it's pulling double duty but heck - how do you kill a drip tip, lol??? So after a few test runs I decided to get brave. I'd heard that de-wicking these lil guys was super easy - so I actually did it! The strands were slimy and full of liquid since I'd already used it, but they came out quite easily. I then vaped the biggest cloud I've ever had. The flavor was SO pure, I about died! So I decided to go ahead and de-wick the second one before using it so it wasn't as messy. Again - amazing vape! I'd been too chicken to try de-wicking a 510 because I can't get down in there (I'm too afraid actually!) but it's amazing the difference. It also has to do, of course, with the fact that they're LR's - but holy happy vaping batman!

I'll be getting more of these. My love for dripping has not ended although I love my Leo cartos! I'm also loving the Lea 510 LR cartos that I got this last order. They hold about 30-35 drops - so like 1.5 ml or so. I also got my first clearomizer for the Leo (or one of my Leas) and I'm thinking I'm going to try it out with the Gooey Butter Cake because the BWB flavors are so thick.

I also discovered a new flavor love! It's replaced cinnamon crumble from TVR (which I was given and vaped the crap out of). It's cinnamon cheese danish from AltCig - so far every one of their flavors has been a home run for me. It's a little 3ml tester, but I know I'll be getting more when I'm allowed to spend again (I am *so* cut off atm, lol!!). I'm also loving the hazelnut that I got about a week from TVR as my freebie - it needed some steeping time and it's gotten it! Nice pure, clean flavor - would be a great "accent" flavor for a coffee or just about anything that tastes good with hazelnut :)

Phew - I'm manic and typing like crazy tonight :w00t: Colin went to bed like 3 hours ago and I'm wired for sound. Could also be because I somehow forgot to take my "night night" pills, as I call them, because they reduce my mania by making me semi-comatose - which is usually good because I sleep really well - but it seems taking them 7 hours late *cringe* means they aren't knocking me out - eeks! Poor, poor people who are reading my long posts tonight!

Hopefully I got everything in there that I wanted to - if not I'll edit, I'm not gonna single post anymore tonight :nun:

Morning All! My first born turned me into a Daddy 30 years ago today, where did the years go?

Jewels: Do you have a second career as a mad scientist? I don't think my college Chemistry lab had that many vials and gizmos.

Gadd: That's quite a dinner companion, I'll bet he wasn't much for conversation though.

You all have a great day! Catch you at an alternate coordinate point in the time-space continuum.

Nope - No such thing as too many flavors. The only bad thing is having NO flavors that you like. ;)
