Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

well that's a first...river messed up on my order...I mean, I did order 40 different flavorings....
emailed them so we'll see what happens
I mean it's not a big deal to me, if anything I think they lost $0.70, lol....
I ordered
Purilum Pomelo 15ml
Purilum Fruit Circles 15ml
Flavor West Green Goblin Energy 15ml

but I got instead
Purilum Raspberry 15ml
Purilum Fruit Circles with Milk 15ml
Flavor West Green Apple 15ml

the fruit circles isn't a big deal except that I ordered one of each regular and with milk, so now I have 2 with milk....and I don't have the Raspberry or Green apple....though I was looking forward to trying to make an energy drink vape....
offered to send them back the mistakes for the correct ones...
i'm sure they'll fix it somehow...either way, like i said it's not a big lose....they all cost about the same so eh...

They’re probably just send the right ones

S'okay I think I will have choices, um, of the 5 positions I applied for fully I have been "referred" for 4 of them and the other is in Gallup and hasn't moved.

The husband started having a fit of course. About cold, "distance from hospitals" and like, um, I think just life in general. So I got a listing of where is warm enough for him (IT WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH) pointed out for someone SO concerned about good medical care it would be nice if he went for a physical EVERY and if he was so worried about helicopter rides maybe it was time to like, quit smoking and start vaping. Then I was like, "I don't really mean that you are like a wet cat right now, I would never instruct you to quit smoking." I also assured him I would accept no position that he wasn't happy with but as far as I was concerned, like, he needed to SHUT UP.

So I have refined my search to the lower states, and I do understand his point about like, well wanting to live somewhere "one" (uh yeah, we ALL know who is going to be the "one" bah could find other work. I was like dude, CHILL okay the more I interview with these people the better I will understand what I need to know. I can't imagine if you have arthritis in every joint, like a cold and snowy winter would be the dealio.

But IDK I guess that's what 20 years experience gets you. I am bolstered, self-esteem wise, this job has not exactly been a BED of god-darn roses. But yes, I guess Gallup has closed up shop the application has not moved, however, it as also the one where I was getting sick and re-read it and went "are you high?" etc.

So I think it will be okay but I will have NO qualms in not going to ANYWHERE in Indiana. I thought the dude wanted rural but maybe THIS job has been terrorizing to both of us. I just figured I needed to get the meltdown out of the husband so I could know what he ACTUALLY wanted at this point.

But that's the only way you get it, I have found. I told him I HAD NO clue his boss was gonna be such a dirt bag but I NEVER blamed HIM OR the consequences but holy crud, IDK,I also told him QUITE OBVIOUSLY had I a magic crystal ball I would have stayed away forever from like, um, my company in general. But that is how it GOES sometimes so I want to interview and see what I think of several positions.

I just refused to let it beat me down because like I was like, um, NO SIR NUH UH I will NEVER let a job get in my head that way again (took me several years to recover) but I always back the hell out once I see it coming.

So. IDK. We shall see, I guess. Yoga was awesome. Possibly worth the Aspirin but I will only be able to inform you of that TOMORROW.

Dude, I hope I did not miss my Dr. Appt but oy if I did I will reschedule. I think it's ah, tomorrow.

How does it work these days? At some point will you have to travel around the country to do in-person interviews?

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

 

[*RJ*]

RJ, I'm glad it's Friday too. I got a good amount of work in yesterday that should carry me through for a few days which is a good thing. I too loved math in school. I took every math course that my high school offered. I did well in all of them except geometry. For some reason it just doesn't click with me. I don't know how much of it I have retained but did enjoy it and used to remember enough to help the kids when they were in school. I didn't have to take much math in college since I went for a specialized associate degree in Industrial electrical technology. I always told myself that I was going to go back for electrical engineering but never did.

I almost forgot, GOOD MORNING MIXERS! Did I wake everyone up now? I did go back through my recipes on elr a little bit last night and found four or five that I'm going to mix this weekend. I forgot all about LMN#. I don't remember who's recipe it is but remember I really liked it.

Electrical didn't click with me. I am mechanical. I made it out of my college electrical circuits class though...but I didn't enjoy it. I was recently helping my son with his circuits class (he's going to be a mechanical engineer too) and it seemed easier. I told him he has google, the internet, youtube, chegg, all these resources I didn't have when I went to college. So much easier but he doesn't see it. He liked circuits.

I've almost vaped almost all of papawbrett's honey and chocolate NET. I think I'll mix another one today. I am going to try all of my NETS. I've really been enjoying it.

GOOD Morning Random Mixers!

I've been trying to straighten out my sleep schedule - I was up at all hours then sleeping during the day but could never sleep more than a couple of hours and felt really crappy all the time.

So last night I felt horrible at 8pm and had to go to bed so I took 20mg of Melatonin and wound up sleeping until 6am and I feel great. We'll see if it continues.

 

[*RJ*]

I'm going to mix up papaw's creamy butterscotch next. Maybe at lunch.

Does that melatonin really work? I just ordered my Mom some.

Works for some and not others. It doesn't work for me.

 

[FranC]

They have messed mine up a couple of times and always made it right. On a good note, the Pur raspberry is one of the best raspberries out there

I’m one that doesn’t care for most all the PUR flavors I’ve tried but the Raspberry is an excellent flavor.

I don’t like butterscotch but if you do I’m sure you will love it.

 

[FranC]

I’m vaping a NET/Chocolate mix this morning. I’ve had it tanked for 2-3days now. It falls short of a winner but it’s good. I need to dig my recipe out and see what I used for chocolate. With just a bit more/better chocolate it would be sooooo good. Stixx Havana Prime for the NET.

 

[DavidOck]

Happy Friday, mixers.

Maybe a break from the rain today. But temps still springy, they've not yet scheduled our third summer of spring

Math, algebra, calculus...

It never has worked for me really, which is why I took a lot of it. I was able to stay in bed a long time so I'd say the higher dose worked.

Yeah,pretty sure I tried the 10mg stuff.Didn’t work.

Does that melatonin really work? I just ordered my Mom some.

i've suffered from insomnia my entire life, nothing really works for me and if it does after a while it doesn't work anymore....
i've tried melatonin and it didn't really work for me....
but then a friend sent me some liquid melatonin and that somewhat worked, it at least worked better than the pills....and it worked great for my kids
bwahahaha no no i wasn't trying to knock my kids out bwahahaha my oldest is autistic so sometimes she's just overly stimulated and needs a bit of help to relax and my youngest is adhd and has a hard time falling asleep/staying asleep.
so you may have to try different forms and different strengths....

 

[FranC]

2 Benedryl give me a good nights sleep. I can't take it often because it stops working. Taking it every 4-5 days works good.

 

[DLKnives]

My experiment with taking Melatonin seems to have failed as I've been up only 3 hours and I feel awful now. I'll have to go back to bed which is what I was trying to avoid. Maybe something else is going on, I don't know but I think the pneumonia is gone.

How does it work these days? At some point will you have to travel around the country to do in-person interviews?

IDK there was talk of phone/video interviews. IDK if they get all "We are gonna fly you out or not." It doesn't specify. I doubt I would fly for a second interview to someplace I may hate but like WHO KNOWS how it all works, I bet the hiring manager thing takes a while anyway they probably check references. Which is now why I will only apply for stuff where the husband would be okay living, etc. I mean.... IDK, I don't want to wear my references out. It's annoying though because most SW stuff gets posted like for ONE week, the application isn't open long so I am spending much time on the USA jobs website. Texas is cool.

The IHS just tends to be remote in general but like eh IDK. We will see. I gotta do that dumb form and poke around a bit more today. At least I have my transripts.

Also NO fever this am. It may mean more yoga TODAY! IDK how me and husband are gonna spend the day though, frankly.

Melatonin in one study published works best at 1 mg or under. IDK if that is true, but like well WHO knows. You can get slow release melatonin if you have trouble with sleep and well, IDK that works for some folks and yeah I know people who take 10. Etc.

Oh man I did miss my psych appt yesterday. I am froot loops but feeling better I think. I will have to reschedule it but that's okay I need my final FMLA stuff, etc.

Anna

Got out my mixing stuff today and that means if I don't mix today I will tomorrow.... Because I don't like leaving it out there. It's my prepparadodeed.

I hope you can settle on a job soon just so you can relax a bit and don't have to keep looking.
