    My DIYVaporSupply order is in NH supposedly on it's way to the local PO. I will hopefully get it soon. Kinda curious how the RF Blackberry is so I'll be doing and sft on that. As much as I hate sft's I'll probably do the INW Just Berries and FLV Red Raspberry also

    Good morning random folks:) Have you any plans today?
    The hospital is still doing rolling “mandatory vacation days” (I think that translates to we can’t afford you all, so take a day off), so Himself’s home again today under my feet. Our microwave imploded last night, but he found somewhere we can go pick one up curbside today. I have too much steeping, but I kind of want to add some basics favs. Looks like I’ll have to wait for Monday though.

    Got rid of my microwave years ago. Never had any use for it. Electric kettle and stove to heat liquids, and I use an Instant Pot to reheat food which I feel tastes so much better than what a microwave does. May take a little longer, but worth the added time.

    I have too much steeping and about an equal amount already steeped. I don't need to mix more now but I may end up putting a couple more recipes together. Gotta fight boredom somehow.

    Dd has an electric kettle that gets used often but her InstaPot sits in a cabinet unused. No idea why. I don't think she's even tried it much.

    Microwaves have a way of killing flavor (and texture).

    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 Satan's flying turds I suppose.

    I fixed that for you, they are DISGUSTING. In Tucson they are half the size of my hand and they freaking FLY OKAY FLY.

    One time the husband was travelling out of town and like one was on my bathroom ceiling and I was like, "I am going to forget I ever saw that." Only then I thought about "It" being with "me" in the house alone somewhere so I got our biggest fly swatter and had at it. It was an epic battle. They ARE meaty. Green goo squirted out. They're vile.

    Douglas (we are convinced) has roving bands of roaches (the houses are all really old so there is TONS or room in the dilapidated ones to like, have them enter. They are definitely from OUTSIDE not inside we Raid our perimeter and find them dead, usually never more than an inch or so from an entry.

    I'm not even scared of em anymore, Eh. Roaches be roaches.

    Happy vapersaries without the Emily Dickenson see, she should be quoted never I don't know what I was thinking! Sorry, "Hope is the feathered thing" though I am glad I figured it out I was like why is that poem so CREEPY and weird?

    Really? I use mine so much the buttons are starting to wear. That and my slow cooker have to be the most used items in my kitchen. I seriously lack in culinary skills, could burn ice cream just scooping out of the tub. But the Instapot and slow cooker are pretty much fool proof...at least for me.

    Ours rarely gets used, but I was trying to reheat some zucchini lasagna. This one was at least 12 yo. We bought it to replace one that caught on fire inside when my daughter was in high school ( she graduated in 08). The resulting reheat in the pressure cooker wrecked the texture of the zucchini, but que sera, it was still tasty. I mostly use the microwave to heat the topping for the pups food every night (15 seconds). Too much work for 1/3 cup on the cooktop.

    My brother had this thing where he "hated" his microwave because it was old and just had this "random" reminder ding. Like it could go off up, 10 seconds after the first beep or a minute or anything in between. He really hated it immensely. I get it though, depression and stir crazy can do that to ya.

    The only thing grosser than killing a palmetto bug is like, stepping on a frog. Barefoot. In the dark.

    It's NOT pleasant. Actually I think it in some ways better than the palmetto bug because it's unexpected in a way. But it is just as bad otherwise.

    Waking the doc then OMG it would be great if I just polished off that application all quick like, easy peasy, that would be AWESOME.

    I've come close to impaling my microwave with a baseball bat numerous times for the same reason.
