    Probably by next weekend. He is now saying once the decision is made what to do he might have to spend an overnight here or there or drive down for the day but he wants to be up here. I am super glad.

    Don’t know of anyone else who makes it other than TFA and now PUR.
    Back when I first ordered from NR I bought a few of their flavors and piffed most. I really liked the Raspberry so I ordered a larger bottle. I'll be switching to INW Raspberry that I've found I like as well. I'll get the TFA Acai also then I can just stick with BCF and an occasional ECX.

    Yes, I agree. I have made a list of the things he normally enjoys. When he stops doing those things, I think it's time. Today he has eaten, been brushed, and is in the window watching squirrels and giving himself a bath. So what do we say to the God of death? Not today!
    My heart goes out to you but as his 'mom', you will know when it is time to let him go. It is so hard, though.

    I'm so sorry you and your furbaby are going through this.
    For pain and suffering I am a believer of the one day too soon is better than one day too late motto.

    ((hugs)) to you - it's so hard.

    Merlin made it somewhat easy for me...he was on my bed, and the way he was looking at me was like he was asking me.
    It's been 2 years and I still cry.
    My wife and I lost our cat awhile back (he was over 15 years old) She said he had been lethargic for days... she came home and he was in the bedroom looking up at her like he was waiting... took his last breath and passed. He lived a good life (including 10 years up in the mountains chasing critters. Sure, we miss him but he was fairly healthy up until the end... no suffering, just got old.

    All my flavors have come from BCF. They’re just too convenient to mess around with anyone else. And it’s not like they don’t have enough flavors. :)

    So it turns out the PUR Strawberry Swirl I got is basically a "lifesavers" candy flavor... that fine but not for my intended purpose (mixing with bakeries) I thought it was strawberry and ice cream. Which one of these do you recommend:
    (TFA) Sweet strawberry

    (JF) sweet strawberry

    (CAP) Ripe strawberry

    Rough guess I'd say Cap Ripe Strawberry but that's just a guess.

    I just don't see the point of buying one flavor from NR so I'm happy to Iike the INW just as well.

    Yeah, I wouldn’t want to rely on a vendor for one or two flavors if I didn’t have too. Particularly if there are alternatives. Truthfully, it bothers me that I’m reliant on Stixx Mixx. And I’ve thought about contingency plans in the event they cannot supply me.

    Before the hammer falls I will buy more of the NETs I like. It's a very short list that only has one flavor so far. I think they will keep a very long time and I rotate several other flavors

    Not sure what will happen today. Doing at home palliative care for my cat, he has intestinal lymphoma. :( He has made it so far 15 months after diagnosis with good quality of life, but vet thinks he's winding down. Going to get out for a walk today, despite lack of sleep. I'm just so worried about choosing the right time to let him go. He doesn't deserve to suffer.
    I went through the same thing last month. Your vet probably told you “you will know”. I hated mine for saying that, at the time. But she was right.

    my heart goes out to you

    Haven’t we all ;)?? Dump, or save it for my son in law. He’ll vape pretty much anything fruit. I can’t figure it out.... he’s a phenomenal cook, but really questionable judgment on ejuice! At least it’s easy to make one shots for him :rolleyes:

    I wish I knew someone who would vape anything. Alas, I only have 1 friend who vapes and isn’t interested in diy or rebuilding (which is fine, of course but I wish she was more interested in the hobby aspect)

    My plan too. Not sure how much freezing extracts help.

    Thank you. That helps so much to hear. Sorry about the loss of your cat.

    He doesn’t want to diy the flavor part, but he did buy the rest. I’m ok making flavor shots for him. Especially given his serious lack of pickiness.
