Ooof. I just got called by the Tucson VA to like, go get my fingerprints done on the 9th. They are really not letting that grass grow under their feet.

Oh well, they keep this up, I MAY not have a break in employment even though I would really rather WANT one. Guess we'll see. I am glad I emailed all my resources I had not like, talked to in a bit regarding "You may be hearing about me."

IDK how wonderful and lovely it would feel to drive my car stuffed full of gear like a week across the USA and sooner than I would enjoy but I guess I'd get through it.

My Neurontin is all super ready dude. My doc does not like when I have to get the "anti seizure kit out" not the tiniest bit. This means Walmart, alright already.

I swear to God, I land the one VA that appears ah, needy. Everyone was all like "4-6 months" all told.

One of these days I will have to stop moving away from the husband and making me chase across the country so he no longer has to prove his love for me already. :laugh:

    Thanks for the congrats, you 2! I didn't even know it yet! I'm totally surprised that I actually won! PM from Uncle also just popped up to tell me at the same time your 2 post alerts did. :)
    Congrats,JC :)

    It appears they are fast tracking this.I was hoping you would have more time and hopefully the house would get finished and sold. If you do have to move too soon wouldn’t it make more since to move everything?

    ..just DO the SSDI thing
    I've applied, been denied, appealed, and jumped thru every hoop SSA put in front of me for six years, trying to get SSDI. To no success, yet.

    Last night I decided to give FLV Sugar Orchid a go in my basic vanilla recipe. I mixed up two 5ml testers. Knowing out of the gate that Sugar Orchid is strong I added only 2 drops to one and 3 to the other.

    I've been dripping the one with 2 drops today and it is surprisingly good. It brightened up my vanilla in a most pleasing way. Made it more velvety. My vanilla is still there just not as up front.

    FLV Sugar Orchid is a really tough one to describe. There is no equivalent to compare it with and it's unlike anything I've vaped before.

    There is a mild vanilla in it and that is not surprising considering vanilla, as we know it, comes from orchids. It has a very light/mild floral taste but not at all off-putting. There is a slight chalky body. And also a light cherry.

    I don't like sweet juices. This has a different kind of sweet to it. The sweetness is on the exhale. Mild. Pleasing. It's not the yucky sweet I don't like in juices. And not the kind of sweet like say candy sweet or any of the usual additives type of sweet.

    It's a very different and refreshing flavor. I will be making a larger batch.

    I went through that until I met my wife, and she said "get them on the phone" and she proceeded to answer all their questions and I was approved. I don't know how she does it but she's good at it.

    The cran lime sounds yummy. I mix nothing for some time, however.

    Gosh darn it I wish they would NOT fast track me. I was hoping for another month at home, getting stronger, and getting ready and it's a bit annoying frankly. I know that you are happy I am taking the lower salary, but don't be all like "Fast track this crazy woman who would take a mild pay cut to do clinical stuff and not have to fuss, don't freak out like she's this magical unicorn,, let her be, she has her idea.

    I can definitely negotiate the start date, and say look I need a month, UNLESS you want to throw in some relocation expense because I REFUSE to rent an abode without Mr. A present and OH YEAH well I did pray on the Holly Night of Lailat to like leave this cursed place as soon as able. Oh, I am STRETCHING thigs out as far as I can, but like MAN I can only do so much. Well contractors are ahead of schedule who knows maybe it will all work out, who knows.

    I wish I could call them and be like "really, it's cool it's fine just like normal pace me dude." I don't think you can and the fast tracking means I am either fabulous, insane, both neither.

    Man I DID it all though. Got home felling better and I remember using Flonase when my lungs just would not quit with the dang, wheezing so I gonna try that. Maybe I have allergies to green things .Man, I feel so much better after getting my Neurontin, even Walmart and the PO were not too bad. I might do yoga. It could happen.

    Contractors ahead of schedule? Do they have any estimated finish date yet? You said you're going to buy a trailer box to put your stuff in. Have you done that yet? Pretty sure you can just rent one.

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
    I have a small stock account but am not an active trader.
    you might want to make sure your account is 'labeled' as margin,,, it implies you would buy stocks on debt,, but its more about being able to buy options.

    a little lotto ticket i bought the other day at $0.11 cashed out a few days later at $0.72,, so I turned $110 into $720

    Then I should fit right in!
    Hey... good to see you here. I've so been enjoying DIY juices and found a RTA I like (good ol Lemo2... once I figured out some issues, I actually love it... unlike the Bellus... she is resting in the closet)

    Have you tried it as a single flavor test? If you have what % and steep time?

    I didn't do an SFT, but it's SNV. I used it at 3% in a recipe with pear, dragonfruit and cream. I forgot to tell you another aspect of the flavor profile is a nice fresh taste. It's pretty yummy. What I don't get with it is the ticklish feeling in the back of my throat that I typically get with florals.
