    I don’t like one or more of those blackberries. Guess I’ll HAVE to sft to find out which because I really want to find a blackberry
    Finding a good Blackberry isn't hugely important to me but if I could find a good one with little sweetness I'd be happy. The RF will be my last try.

    On a positive note, I just sold the rest of my furniture so may move sooner rather than later.
    I think that would be the best thing for you. You can just partially unpack so the next move will be less work.

    To me the RF is a little weak and needs the tfa to boost it. I did the sft of the RF at 5% and it wasn't super strong. RJ tried it at 3% and said she couldn't really taste it. I think the tfa is brighter and the rf is more of a darker or deeper berry taste so they help to balance each other out.
    That's what I was hoping. Going to order RF and TFA but subbing FLV with my (PUR) boysenberry preserves.

    I'm pretty sure Hitt's wife and girls think he's pretty odd at times too. :)

    As long as the paychecks keep coming in, I think they'll keep putting up with me.


    Forgot to say re my move. My daughter is moving in a couple months so not sure I want to move twice.

    My order from DIYvapor supply came today and one bottle had a broken seal, it had leaked all over all the bottles. Not crazy about the idea of a flavor that someone had opened.

    I would email them and ask for a new bottle to be shipped out at no charge. I hope mine arrives ok. Which flavor was open?

    Just curious... what do you seek in a blackberry (bright, floral, candy, realistic, dark/deep or jammy)? or to put it another way, which of those things do you NOT like?

    No on the floral. Deep, candy and jammy good not necessarily together but you never say never. I can handle a little sweet but not overly so. I feel that blackberry should have a little tart in there. I THINK I’m getting a floral from the trinity. But like some of my FAVORITE mixers, I’m not good at explaining taste. I used it in the biscuit recipe. I know it’s one of the blackberries because the strawberry biscuit has been in my everyday rotation for a few months.

    I’ve been bad and haven’t done hardly any sft-ing.

    Makes you pretty popular in the household I would say :lol:

    Not as much as you might think.

    My oldest still hasn't been able to get unemployment. They denied her on some stupid loophole and she's been trying to call but can't get through to anyone. We're going to go ahead and pay her rent for May.

    My Dd went through that whole mess of crap when a tree destroyed much of her house.

    My neighbor had a tree from the neighbor on the other side if him fall on his fence. His insurance adjuster came to look at it and paid him for someone to remove the part of the tree that was on the fence, leaving the rest of the tree on both sides laying in his yard and the neighbor's. He was furious when he was told how his claim would be paid. Apparently, a tree that falls in your yard is your responsibility even if it falls on something and crushes it. They just pay to get it off your house, car, driveway or fence and leave the rest for you to deal with. They did pay to repair that section of fence, though! :)

    They did a job my daughter wasn't happy with fixing her house. They decided they didn't want to listen to her anymore and they finally fixed everything. That included taking up 3 hardwood floors and redoing them plus a lot more.

    I only sft what I feel I have to. I have to do the RF Blackberry when I get it to see how sweet it is. I can't do very sweet.
