Random DIY mixing and More

[DLKnives]

You better hurry. My son said guns and ammo are flying off the shelves. He actually said we should have bought ammo instead of food. After he picked me up off the floor he realized we have enough ammo.

I have family members wanting to borrow a gun and I gave 1000 rounds of 9mm to my SIL yesterday. I don't like to loan guns out but we'll see.

I have not read the whole thread yet but I am typing after dinner. Like, I had an ok/miserable day, I saw lots of kids, and I SWEAR for stuff like this you should be in POVERTY. Some of our administrators are.... Well they are all telemedicine ready or trying to be, and I am the one asking WIC baby mommies, "Ah, how much formula do you have left?" They were all saying stuff like, "Well half a can, and I am on WIC I can ONLY buy it sometimes, but I can't find it anywhere." It took a lot of my grabbing doctors, rationing out samples, and finally I sent a letter to all the admins (I haven't gotten scolded yet, but the night is young) "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE WIC BABIES THEY CAN'T BUY 15 CASES AHEAD OF TIME, can we GET in TOUCH WITH the head of WIC? Something? Right now I am telling them to call the manufacturer's number and see when and where the next delivery might be, and we are giving samples but we will run out TOMORROW I bet." Gosh. I hope someone does something, but what IRKS me is like, WHY am *I* the one asking, these docs got no common sense? Have they not BEEN in a Walmart.

Well, anyway, at the end of a long day of baby well visits which were sort of fun, despite my not loving babies or rather I LOVE them and I know how to NURTURE them but the husband just said they may be calling for martial law tomorrow? WHO knows, but it's not the world I really wanted.

So yeah, I am supposed to go to work, maybe soldiers will drop more formula boxes outside WIC mommy doors. IDK the husband just said it, he's not always informed but no one is. The whole thing is sucking, and I am pretty darned angry. I wish I had not argued with the husband but I HATE change and every day is different now.

Gonna be a lot more death than had we moved on with life as usual I predict. Although, perhaps it will be the thinning of the CORRECT herd, the young single mommies and their brood. ONLY I feel completely unjustified in saying that is worse than being an older, more educated and responsible person.

Schools here for the year are closed, I think or soon will be. They SO should not plan dates in advance like that especially when it made me think, darkly, "Has this whole thing been planned?
IDK. It's just.... Stuff is happening all over you get a different story no matter who you talk to and well, I can't STRESS enough how much my work freaking wanted to know who COULD work from home in a crisis.

Talked a lot more about cloth diapers. Doc who DID just get back from Guatamala on a plane indeed who is seeing well child babies in person, well he told me no one would do it, and I was like, "Well, what ELSE are they going to do? It's not like it's Africa where like they can "sense" their babies going and head behind a bush. He was like, "They will be scared of "COVID 19" and I was like, "A fear of Ecoli would be reasonable I think but COVID 19 would only be a problem if they were SHARING diapers and I don't believe I have recommended THAT (yet, under my breath.") I went on about the benefits, that I said nothing outside in the freaking patient area but freaking.... I was not swallowing the CDC's poisoned bread, and my theory about dirt, and how Darwin would also recommend a thinning of the RIGHT herd, the ones who, well, IDK anymore but I have talked myself out as far as diapers goes, tomorrow I may have to find a NEW passion.

I hope I make it to see my doc to get my Adderall thing fixed before you aren't allowed to leave the county or whatever.

Oh well, perhaps this is what it takes, but I must say I shall begin bringing my computer home daily, DUDE.

Miserableish day but I did my part to not get furloughed.

Communism 2.0, I almost wonder and I realize it never stopped but I DON'T WANT to live in China, AT ALL.

Sigh. La vie. I have no clue what is happening work is so busy and when I get home I don't want to hear news. Wish I was more chipper but it was a HARD day, not insanely busy but new environments just tax the hell out of me and I mean EMOTIONALLY .

I wish I had my kid nearby in a wistful fashion. Not so much because I am terrified for him or anything, I just wish he was around, I want to know he is safe and good and okay. I've been present on this earth aplenty (I did explain this to Guatemala doc and also he gave me more chocolate, LOL, and that I had full faith in an afterlife so I did not fine death so scary in fact sometimes it is LIFE that is REALLY terrifying.)

No the husband says it's fake it better be dude. I think he just did it to be mean.

I was drinking coffee out of a pint glass (real glass) this am, long story, but it collided against my Rose and Dani set up (NOT the leather clad one thank goodness) but the Dani and Rose totally WON. Long story mess to clean up, my goal is bed on time so I can do yoga again tomorrow! YES! Yoga happened this am, and my new office chair is unkind.

Off to catch up then collapse, I'm not enjoying this a BIT dang it. I'm sure no one else is either.

Ooh. I got my last China package today, two Cylons. I'm not ordering anything else, nothing but food items OR formula because IF I come across any I am buying it to give out. I am not sending baby mommies out the door, man, with the instructions "Find a goat to milk" or whatever.

Y'all know how I feel about Goats. And Cylons, but if I must die arguing with the husband in my house, ALONE, well, you know, it will be nice to have a couple robots to replace him with. When he loses his logic, he REALLY loses it. I keep trying to tell me to be kind, but in an odd twist of fate, the angrier I get the more logical he becomes. I swear, we were a hair's breath away from like, pulling out dual "journals" etc. and well, I guess it's stressful being HIM too.

I hate people and I just want to help as many of them as possible. I don't get me, that's not sane at all. But it's in my damn CODE.

I'm not checking email again, damnit I pointed out a real problem I can check tomorrow. It's awful hard to treat DEAD babies so I say my "FOMULA!" email may be conceived of (or at least argued by me) as not an actual, you know "I care" but more a question for the billing department. LOL they might actually be faster.

I just (finally) did some mixing as I was just about to run out of what I mixed last time.

I made 200ml of RY4 Double - Cream Brulee, 100ml of Cranberry - Lime and 30ml of Mango - Peach - Papaya. That last one I'm going to try soon.

I'm running out of PG and VG, hopefully with payday coming up I can get both and some more flavors. Don't tell the wife!

It’s good that those moms have you looking out for them.

top of the m_noon mixers!

per your instrucitons i be ordering FA black tea, and, their cardamom too. i'm going to for a real black tea, so no lemon/earlygreyly or milky stuff.

2 questions:

which mint to go along with it? true mint flavour preferrably but not to overpower the rest.

and do these guys come sweet enough on their own [for a not sweettooth..err.. lung]? and if not what's a not too sweet, unobtrusive addition? [i'll probably try it without any first of course, but i want to order it all in one batch so...]

So true. I don't think anyone is enjoying this except those that cause it.

Good morning random folks Have you any plans? It's snowing here which is rather depressing.

 

[rosesense]

Yikes, snow? It is in the 80's here.

Spring doesn't come to NH in March..

 

[Skeebo]

Good morning Fran.

I'm waiting around for deliveries. I did a small sample of a mix I made the other day, Campfire Banana. I will say Banana FE is one of the better bananas I have tried to date. The toasted marshmallow adds a nice element to the mix. I'll put it away for two weeks and see how it goes. I wonder if the low amount of chocolate I used in the mix will show up by then. It does have a nice dense mouthfeel which I tend to like in my mixes.

I am vaping the last remnants of it in my dripper and notice the combination of it and creamy caramel hazelnut goes nicely together.

Oh, sure it does. It just forgets to bring along the spring weather

Not sure why but I just have no interest in vaping banana though I do like eating them.

Whatever you enjoy vaping is good!!

Hope the CRS gets better real quick. 4 inches of snow expected Monday.

GOOD Morning Random Mixers!

Been vaping that Mango-Peach-Papaya I mixed last night, and it's by far the best I've made! All 3 flavors are there with Ripe Mango #1 and the other 2 right there. Awesome, will be a killer summer vape. This is the first mix I've done where it's like something you'd buy for a lot of money in a vape shop. So happy!

 

[hittman]

Good morning random folks Have you any plans? It's snowing here which is rather depressing.

My plans besides work have been made for me. I woke up and grabbed my phone to find a notification from my bank that a charge of $2.65 had been run on my card overnight. So my debit card has been shut down and I have to go to the bank to get a temporary card after work. I'm rather ...... off about it. I don't know if it's even been a year since I got hit the last time. I have been trying hard to only use paypal for ecig purchases but let my daughter use my card to order some jeans from Ariat online. That's the only recent online purchase where the card number was given besides some VG I bought from heartland but I've ordered from them many times without issue. Who knows. I'll never find out how it got taken.
