Random thought...my microwave turntable does a full revolution in 10 seconds. So if I want to warm up my cup of tea, 15 seconds makes the cup handle out of reach. 10, 20, 30 seconds makes the cup handle be right where I need it to pick it back up.

o_O

I think I'm a little stir crazy.
:facepalm:

    I can't top @*RJ* but I am getting there. Can't even mix, everything is packed away. Guess I could do zero nic when the new flavors arrive. Need to get back to packing but I am so tired of that. Maybe I will go play with the microwave lol.

    It's my ECF Vaperversary! Woohoo!

    I don't stick with most forums, after a couple of weeks/months I just quit going. But not here, what a great bunch! :D

    Congratulations on your ECF vaperversary!

    And fully shadow your comments about this thread. I may not contribute much, but have learned a lot from these wonderful folks

    During 9/11 I was assigned to drive Missy Elliot and Trina to a show at Universal Studios, there were no flights. After the show was over we tried desperately to get a couple rooms just outside of Orlando but everything was booked. After searching for an hour in horrendous traffic, I found this little hole in the wall hotel that was really low budget. As I walked in Trina was right behind me. I slammed my hand on the desk open palmed and the guy behind the counter looked at me with a smile on his face. "We'll take two rooms I laughed", luckily she didn't see me just kill the biggest roach I have ever seen crawling across the counter. I knew they would not stay there if they did and I was exhausted from a 16 hour shift.

    Been to NY many times prior to 9/11, and although you do see roaches, they were not as abundant as they were after 9/11 (for obvious reasons). Don’t know what roaches are like else where in the world, here in Canada they are tiny in comparison. But NY roaches sport that NY tough guy attitude. There was a few of us in the subway waiting for a train. Roachzilla was climbing up the wall and one of my friends tried to stomp it. The roach turned around and chased him. I have never seen a grown man screech like a little girl

    I've always been afraid of them so killing that one was quite the accomplishment. We have palmetto bugs in Florida, which is a fancy name for a roach I suppose. They are very large. My mother use to tell a story of how as a child I lived in every room of a 4 bedroom house, because if I saw a roach I could not sleep in that room ever again.

    I'll go herping, catching every reptile under the sun. However, my wife and daughters know not to call on me when they see a roach. I also won't kill spiders; I do live capture releases back into the yard.

    Hot humid and buggy sucks but for some reason I love Texas. Right now, for their permissive gun laws but it is taking all I have to like not make threatening statements to my current employer who were so busy "Forgetting" they had none of my FLMA stuff at ALL they got SO disappointed by my inquiry (and my supervisor tried for deflection too, IDK if she was in on it at all if so she was convincing too.) But yeah ,so busy forgetting to remember they forgot to send my STD. You cannot say, "If you do not make my STD paperwork appear, I will infect both the director's kids like, nicely (um "nicely?" is that applicable I doubt it entirely) but HOLY crud a syringe full of short term disability, it makes no sense anyway I should like infect one of the adults and start horrifying short term disability accusations which blow up the marriage but puts no one in serious harm. It would cause problems and maybe they would divorce but perhaps the nanny is like, "the best thing in they life and they lie awake crying at night as if anyone who had every been through sh:censored: in they lives," as Eminem might put it only I forget a) the beginning b) the words and c) the end but it sounds like Eminem. But like I SWEAR LIKE I CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH!!!!

    Also I cant get ahold of my kid and ALSO that makes me worry but he's likely asleep oh GOD I hope in any case, IDK what to do I guess collect references because like HOLY GOD ALMIGHTY well, I GIVE UP. Federal applications take stamina and learning their electronic system is the suck. I think they do it on purpose because it took me over an hour to even learn to navigate and you can't move "forward" with stuff and then go backward .So I will be searching my emails and finding my 5-10 most reliable work resources. I do have a bunch like my very first supervisor but HOLY GOD I WANT TO KILL and I usually want to die but LIKE MAN Oh MAN this is new to me these thoughts and I think I prefer the harm to self ones. GOD. Later and my yoga and sleep may be thin this evening but "No one has to die today." I forget that famous quote but I think it is one. It's rather untrue SOEMEONE has to die today or something would be terribly wrong, but no one *I* know has to, necessarily, and I am not sure you can purchase "Syringes" of "Short Term Disability" EVEN in Mexico and I am fairly sure it would not be essential travel. :(

    I need Lil Wayne now and I need him LOUD that is such a voice if there was a God, that is what he would sound like not that OTHER black Smithsonian and penguin guy. Lets face it even God has got a little bit of EVIL I mean he BET against SATAN and I get it was BIBLE times but uh, "providing a new family to replace the first" is NOT sometimes the WAY TO GO I MEAN Satan woulda had me at "boils all over and cows dying." However, I had TWO husbands and if I woke up next to the other One Tomorrow OH after death from fright and stuff ,I would go talk to Lil Wayne and he'd be like, "Yo. That's why my bars are full of broken bottles and my nightstands are full of open bibles." Or however it quite goes and I'd still be mad but I'd also be like "Sing it one more time before I shut yo mouth and break yo teeth!" all mad lady style

    Etc.

    Oh

    God.

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the sincerest prayer I ever offered up I will even allow you, God, to be WHATEVER race and sex you desire you choose! Although I think "all" or "none" are equally valid choices.

    You could be stuck there for quite a while , Rose. Can you unpack your flavors?

    I saw some roaches in an apartment in Holyoke, Mass. a very long time ago. Been in NH for most of my life and I've never seen one here.

    I am resisting unpacking anything at this point. Not like I need to mix, just a bit bored I guess.

    Happy Friday, mixers.

    More rain, although said to be tapering off this afternoon, before a weekend deluge. Cats may have a chance to play outside for a bit :)

    Not sure if that's better or worse than watching the microwave... :)

    We have palmetto bugs in Florida, which is a fancy name for a roach I suppose.

    The regular Florida cockroaches I've seen (usually in buildings) are light/medium brown, not really wide and fairly flat, are easy to kill, and they don't release a smell when "squished". The Palmetto Bug to me...is a whole 'nuther critter. It's like a roach on steroids size-wise, is much wider than a regular roach, has a very dark brown to black shiny outer covering that's more rounded/curved, is harder to kill because of the tougher covering, and releases a very pungent odor you'll never forget smelling...when squished! I've only seen them outdoors in areas where Palmetto bushes grow and/or in woodsy areas. I learned the hard way to use bug spray on them, instead of squishing and releasing that smell that even makes your shoe stink! ;)

    ETA: Sorry if the above really skeives you out, Skeebo. Just wanted to warn you about Palmetto Bugs so you never smack one of them with your hand! :D

    Here in Canada we do not have a problem with large sized stinky bugs. But when one of these fella’s shows up in your garden, you do not attempt to squash them, for they will squash back! (the pic is just a small one)

    Darwin award nominee: Up at our cottage our neighbor thought it would be wise to keep their trash in their car overnight for delivery to the dump in the morning. Why someone would do that is beyond me! Bears tore the doors off his car to get to the trash. :facepalm:

    That is a dangerous bear. We have less dangerous bears here, the black ones. I've always loved seeing them.
