Lookit my sister. Literally COWERING with fear! :cool:

1966, just for the record.

1966? 1966? It is with terminally mixed emotions that I report I was legally driving then.

Excuse me while I find my walker so as to get to the comfy chair...

1/2 a cigarette yesterday I didn't even want to finish it. Going to shoot for 0 today but GOD knows. LOL. I woke up wishing there were a fresh pack of cigarettes in my hand, but I didn't you know, ACT on it. Chainvaping seems to be helping.

Go back to WTA.

I was well out of high school (1963) and was a very cool guy. Now, I am just cold most of the time.

Does anyone use the IQ function on a P3 ?
I have an AW 18350 batt the shows an IQ of 59 (poor).
Should I not use that batt ?
I use the IQ function when I suspect a cell is getting old, when they say poor they might be getting tired. Give the unit a thorough cleaning, center pin, all threads spring, and battery ends with some isopropyl alcohol. Then recheck the IQ. Also might show the poor rating if you are running it in the higher end of the watt settings...what watts are you using that little cell at?

I've used cells that said BAD before, one last time before I scrapped them, an was at 7-8 watts, so not too worried about stressing the cell...

WTA is a bit what got me IN this mess, my mom was here a week and my tanks were like CHOCK full of it, only like, I forgot the stuff I had was 12 mg (usually don't use much of it) and UNDER nic'd myself. That and STESS good stress bad stress, you name it.

I CANNOT GO INTO THE SAGA of my employment (the first one) it will make me smoke to repeat it but GOD do I hate being LIED to when it will/may impact my licensure.

BUT, today, I have 3 nanny things going, (actually 4, but the 4thi is a no) plus all mah anxiety caused me to apply to other SW positions.....

ONE I WANT SO much, the recruiter lied so finally I was like, "I have this lady's name, Imma gonna call her, LOLZ. She was AWESOME as is the COMPANY, and BENEFITS they would pay me like 75K AND there are PRODUCTIVITY bonuses (as someone who is normally PRODUCTIVE and understands BILLING, well, like I was like OH HOLY GOODNESS I have never been offered that as a SW.) Plus, Cigna. I will not say more. Plus, I LOVED her, in her pic she is this jolly looking black woman, also from Back east and me and black women have always got along. Anyway, sometime soon here, I am guessing, I will go for a site visit.

The commute sucks, but she said I could work 4 days a week. I really liked her vibe, we were just laughing and talking about random stuff and she said "Perfect" at me a lot. Here's hoping.

Also just got recruited into being the "Director of Substance Abuse Services" somewhere but eh, it's a RECRUITER and also, like whatever, that is a job I could learn to do but I'm sure they will have a better candidate, and I said no less than 85K anyway (somewhat within budget) as frankly, I would be DOING budgets, which I HATE and a lot of other admin tasks I HATE. But, I interview better than I function, I'm not quite sure I WANT that job (although I can learn, and although I'm afraid most admin meetings like, are all about freaking people massaging their egos. Okay, not every one, but if nothing else, the commute is easy and ALSO nice to even think I'm worth about 85K.

The economy really is picking up because man, I consider my worth like a PENNY. One squashed flat on train railroad tracks and its true value is the kid did not DIE doing it. LOL.

But yeah, all that is now happening. I'm upping my nic and game apparently and at SOME point in the Hopefully Not to Distant Future, well, heh, I will be working. For now I am focusing on Not Smoking.

We shall see. LOL.

edited previous post to say BAD, they get drained and tossed, poor, I put a big red X on them with a sharpie, and keep a close eye on those ones, they might work for a while after they get to poor, but I don't take those ones when I'm going out.

I use 11 watts and the batt only charges to 87 %.
I’ll keep an eye on it.
Other batts are ok in the P3.

Does laughter help? I hope so...

;) :)
I'm sure she cowered in fear. As soon as she noticed you were there! ;)
FWIW my parents hadn't even met yet in 1966. And now I'm going to run away....
Such a little baby!

UP in the diner ~~~
* Sweet and Sassy *
Miso-Ponzu Salmon with Roasted Sesame Broccoli ... Miso to you might mean that tub of tofu soup that comes with the sushi delivery. But it's more than just an afterthought in a paper bag. It's a key Japanese seasoning, providing a salty, unique flavor to many a dish. It brings that and more to this sauce, along with the sweetness of honey and the spice of Sriracha, not to mention the delightful flavors of ponzu. The miso also delivers its unique “miso-ness” when roasted with the broccoli. Bon Appetit

Might not have anything to do with the battery. How old is the battery? Couldn't be very old. Also what brand? Sometimes bringing all threads and electrical contacts to a shine helps. Also, 18350 batteries SELDOM show as high IQ as 18650 or even 18490/500 in my experience ... but I don't regularly use IQ, just checked it out last year or so ago to see what it was.
