Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Doing okay, thanks! Hope you are too.
Our boss just got us a new(new to us) work truck (because I destroyed our other one (NOT MY FAULT!) I did not even ask him if I could use it for personal use (going to and from work, grocery shopping, errands, etc.) But he offered to let me do just that!(he knows my wife is still in Texas, indefinitely, with our car.) I said I would pay for my own fuel, and he said don't worry about that! My life has vastly improved because of this, no more walking to or from work, or lugging around groceries in my backpack. Now I can take walks for pleasure, but in the current situation, I'm not quite sure I can do that. MI has banned all non-essential travel, you can't even go boating/fishing with a motorized watercraft.

I'm glad you're doing well. It does suck that we can't get out and do what we want.

OMG, you would probably gag at my storage system. Whatever cardboard box is handy, stored on the top shelf of the bedroom closet.
mods are scattered across the top of my stereo stand, and a tackle box containing everything I need to maintain them on the bottom shelf of the stereo stand.
Gallons of PG and VG under the bathroom vanity, 100mg Nic in the back of the freezer.
Recipes on a legal pad handwritten in ink, somewhere....

That's plenty organized for this old man.

I have some tanks and stuff in the garage where I vape along with 10-12 mods with tanks. I have one tub full and one started with miscellaneous vape hardware, 6-7 different sized boxes of hardware in the basement, and all of my mixing stuff in a cabinet in the basement along with some vaping stuff and drop in coils. I also have a drawer in my toolbox filled with vaping stuff. I’ve been trying to get a little more organized at a time but it’s a long road.

I love the base with Brie or Mascarpone. It's better I think.

I like the mascarpone better but had the Brie ready to use.

I actually have a small bottle of Mascarpone I leave out in case I have any great idea to try some in a mix...LOL

 

[PJReid]

yeah the only one i found at chefs 'kooada 10%'.. what's the other one though?

Koolada is WS-3 and is usually made as a 10% solution to 90% PG. WS-23 is made as a 30% solution to 70% PG. Both are available from Chefs Flavours.

Koolada 10% - TFA

WS-23 30%

Some people get an "off" flavor from Koolada (I don't.) WS-23 is cold and completely flavorless. I hope this helps.

An idea is born. I'm thinking about a Cheesy Croissant.

Oooh just found out the Thunderbirds are going to fly all over Vegas to honor first responders and health care workers. They take off in 8 minutes! Should be over us about 2:40.

Tomorrow is a good day to do a mix or at least plan out what I want to mix, and order any flavors I need. I know I need mascarpone. Tonight I have a date with a pint of ben and jerrys and some nice rootbeer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: your life would kill me, @stols001.

And, as always, I wish you luck.

Well, I wrote a letter. It's decent actually until the end until I get to the scorched earth part. You know, I'm an extremist I can't end a complaint letter until I get to, "It may take me two years, you will all be maimed, the company I work for will no longer exist."

LOL definitely my complaint letters are okay if I take out the last 6 paragraphs.. I mean, not only was that thing CRAP, EVERY time I have asked my supervisor to review a document or how to phrase something she hasn't responded. She has called me once on my "six month" plan. Even if the ONE NOTE they could scare up was so dreadful (it isn't) well, failure to supervise shouldn't result in MY getting problems.

I definitely need a couple days of FMLA either way. I'm not in a good place. it's not good. l need to adjust to the creepy Adderall. I would like to do yoga tomorrow . I'm trying to not stress out the husband, and I STILL like my STUPID DAMNED work. I do. I sort of love it,.

IDK. I have to call my supervisor anyhow for like, FMLA. I could talk to her about these things I think and maybe set up a meeting with her and HER boss, but like, no, I will NOT be on another plan for a COMPL AINT my supervisor VERBALLY agreed was a misunderstanding and if "maybe take probiotics but talk to your medical provider" is the very WORST they can come up with on recent days? Because, I am being CAREFUL already.

I suppose I could try and do it verbally and be like "Look, this is BS, and BY GOLLY if you want me to not TOP the charts I am HAPPY to work 4 day weeks, if so it must be and etc."

I just.....My supervisor PUT me in that clinic and told me I had to GO,. NOW she's mad because I am busy and productive. I don't understand in the very slightest.

I don't want to go Full Metal Jacket but I have GOT to stand up for me SOMEHOW,. So.. . yeah, I could kinda try to low key it or whatever,. But who knows, I have my evidence and I am so far to the right, well, surely any sane person would consider it.

My mom told me to work less. IDK.

Life, sigh. It's just unfair sometimes. ;Never would I have thought working hard would lead me to ruination. Oh well. It is what it is. I want to buy a house, and baby goats and stuff. Gotta be in stable employment for two years.

So yes, I could put on my sweet hat and call my supervisor and be I'm sorry this needs to be discussed and with YOUR boss too. Etc.

I am a library that is OPEN @Bronze . LOL you should be grateful. I don't include the sex scenes.

Anna
Speaking of that. I want someone to write a bona fide like, Romance Novel but excluding the sex scenes . Take Susanne Anderson (I am an avid chewer up of ANY genre, if it's decent.) She can be hilariously FUNNY. Her one protagonist meets the man of her dreams in like, a chipmunk suit (she's hurting for cash and like crossing the country) and well, she like gets into his Lamborghini or whatever (her protagonists are all either football stars or related to them) and her plotting is EXQUISITE. Even as it follows the "boy meets girl boy girl hate, get together all in a passionate LUMP OH PROBLEMS COME, but they are reunited.) I mean EVERY romance novel follows that plot but she does it so smartly.... And her characters are INTERSTING. I just have to skip the sex scenes sometimes because there are only so many ways to describe the events leading up to like, climax.

Although the WORST romance novel I ever read (I was in rehab and ran out of reading material, and my roommate had a TON, described it THUS:
"He was the shooting star in her milky way."

OMG that sentence almost made rehab worth it It was my first one age 17 instead of visiting my alcoholic bf in ENGLAND I was mad.

But not about that sentence. NEVER about that sentence.

I use it sometimes, like kind of murmur it into the husband's ear. You can't do it too often though, or you lose the electric "I HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM HER" kind of lightening spasm.

It's worth it, I'm telling you. LOL. The first time..... Hehehehh.

It may be one of the worst like, sentences written. I think there may be a competition for that, I should like, check on copy right issues rehab was long ago.

OH GOD WHAT AMMA GONNA DO??

Are you sure you're on the right meds? I think they're making ya crazy

 

[JustWondering1]

I know! I think I need more! Seriously though there are some attys that I do need some coils. Just too lazy to look for them right now.

I am so impressed with your stash!! You've been so successful at stocking up quickly, I'd say you deserve a break from it. Especially since the virus may do one good thing for us and push back the Deeming deadline.

Yeah I am not happy about this, but I have to take a stand somewhere. I just have lost the ability to swallow it any of it, but like I said, I have things I can do and I'm doing them. Including some FMLA because like, I JUST can't go in there and get fired.

I am not enjoying life lately and like THANK GOD I have Adderall. I might not even do my notes today, just freaking put together a TIME LINE, and gather documents. Because if they tell me to eat it, I am going to have to submit to the ECOE. It takes forever, I will be long gone, but I have rights. I'm getting kind of tired. Rushing to finish notes I can do the couple days on FMLA I will have until they show their true colors seems silly somehow. This is more important than opening a FEW NOTES.

Etc.

I just gotta figure out who in the chain of command I submit all this too which avoids Crazy Rights lady as she is like the OPPOSITE of um, impartial, and so I should probably get ready my timeline, and then sock it to whomever. The good news is they ALL know I am disabled and etc.

It makes the harassment worse for them.

I'm not enjoying life but honestly, my dream was always a private practice maybe here is where I could do it because I would NOT be hurting for patients. There are places that will set you up with all the hard stuff and I'm already credentialed (as a group but still) with every insurance known to mankind.

You know what though? This is NOT EVEN the worst shape my life has ever been in, not even CLOSE.

I really hate it, and I hate to complain but I believe it is FAR PAST TIME. There is a REASON my head doc practically BEGGED to me submit and internal complaint about my doc and other things. THEN, they control it.

I really hate knowing the things I do and having to do the things I must, but surely I can do them, I am not happy with things as they are.

So, my course was decided for me. When I saw that pathetic note, I just knew... Anna, they are READYING themselves, it is TIME.

Anna

I don't know how you've put up with it as long as you have! It sounds like you've got a good plan and back-up plan and I wish you the best of luck. You deserve it!!

I’m probably going to make a small flavor order. My Small bottle of FA Raspberry is almost empty,I want a bigger bottle of FW Yogurt and of WF Croissant. Also a small bottle of TFA Greek Yogurt to try.

The first time I tried ws23, I could really taste it in the mix.
