Going to wait for the scale to do any mixing (that's good because I have all these little leftovers from small batch SFTs I need to get rid of)
Since I mix my unflavored base(s) by volume, I assume I should just put an empty bottle on the scale, Tare (zero) it and add a flavor, tare again, and so on... is there a better way? I will top it off with the base.
That's how I do it. Of course you need a recipe with weights rather than volume, or am I misunderstanding?

Well, I found my thumb drive. I suppose that is good. It WAS under the couch. I put it in its normal place, that's probably better. In any case, I am fretting and I like to do that ALONE. The husband keeps hovering and maybe it's mean but I just... It's not helpful to be "comforted," when I just want to give up. I really didn't like my job much but I was not actively malevolent toward them. Guess I will find out more tomorrow. And stuff. I do have junior person's cell now and I can hassle her if I want to. However, I don't know if that is in my best interests. IDK I kind of think NOT. Not until I see what HR has decided to say, anyway. I do have proof of like, all my emails now but that doesn't cheer me much I just want to move. Maybe the husband and I could move to a cave in a temperate climate. Although by the time you get done setting up a cave with the required stuff you just have a very expensive home without windows.

I am less swollen and sore today and I didn't even take any painkiller so that is nice. I guess. I have so many things to try and figure out and I just CANNOT. I just need to get through this evening for now and gosh that involves starting to take meds.

I feel bad for sending the husband away cranky but there are times I wish to be radically alone and this is one of them.

However, I will say, my body-- it's like the first time I have done very little. It was like going to Jamaica and being all samply with the wares. I think.

Back to the grindstone tomorrow pretty soon gonna have to go back to the house EEK only like, I am exhausted so I am not thinking about it. Have a good night all you hard workers, etc.

Had a couple of questions for all you DIY Masters out there,would appreciate some help :)

Ok so my friend who owns the vape shop gave a 12 monkey sample box (10 different flavors in 10ml bottles)
Been trying them out and the Matata (Grape with Apple) WOW!!!

Who would have thought i would like grape flavored e-liquid,i dont like wine,don't like to eat grapes and I don't particularly like grape soda but the e-liquid? WOW again!!

So anyway,here go the questions:

-Grape aroma,can anyone recommend a good brand from a european website?

-I enjoy my minty fresh aromas,if the grape aroma isn't minty fresh is there like an additive that you can add to the DIY to make it minty fresh? or does the minty fresh count as an aroma?
Don't want the minty fresh like a flavor,more like a fresh inhale,don't know if you know what i mean.

-For all you that mix and match flavors,what goes well with grape? nothing sweet like pastries and chocolates,i was wondering if a citric based aroma would work with grape,not sure.

That's about it,thanks in advance folks

    Did you check Chefs for a similar aroma? I’m still trying to find the best fresh grape taste also. Haven’t had much luck with it.

    Not yet,was going to but there is a problem with my Visa,will take a week or so to get resolved and I'm running low on e-liquid.
    Friend from the vape shop is receiving today some Yellow Flava from Joe's,so i might give those a try.

    Good morning random folks :)Have you any plans today?

    All bureaucracy dude,I'm so tired...they ask for the same repeat documents over and over and since some of them have an ''expiration'' date i have to get them once again online...takes hours to get all that stuff together.

    And you,what you up to?

    I’m not up to much except trying to vape another couple mixes away. Very soon I’ll have to work on some new recipes.

    Good morning :)
    To paraphrase Gandalf and Bilbo..
    Do I wish you a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether you want it or not; or that I feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?

    All of them at once. And a very fine morning for a vape out of doors.

    It's raining here, dreary gloomy like our mood and fortune, but the day has just started. We do what we can with the time we've got, I just don't want to be working my entire vacation, but you have to do what needs doing.

    morning ;)

    Here we currently at 31ºC Humidity 50%.

    Depending on what side of the apartment you do get some slight breeze but otherwise yeah I'm melting.
    And the worst is yet to come,really hot months are July and August,i just hate summers.

    I'm more of a winter type of guy,hot teas with lemon,covered with a blanket watching a movie on the sofa and when you get to bed it's always cold at the beginning but then it warms up.

    I recently made something with grape (supposed to be a grape jelly for a peanut butter sandwich) and I used TFA Grape candy and Flavorah Grape combined

    Good morning. It's going to be a scorcher here all week. At least it's only a four day work week with the holiday. I was busy for a while at work but things keep going back and forth from slow to not so slow. I found out last night that the keyboard quit working on my youngest daughter's MacBook pro. We've had it just over a year. I got online and did a chat session with apple and it sounds like it might be covered under some keyboard replacement program they have. I don't know if they had known issues or not. My oldest daughter's mac air lasted almost six years so I was surprised to hear there was a problem with the pro already. All the apple equipment I've had has lasted forever.

    I mixed a lemon custard recipe I found online last night. I know custards need to steep but I really wanted to try it right away.

    Good Morning Mixers!

    I plan to sleep since I just got up after just 2 hours of it. Ugh. But I started playing a new video game last night, No Mans Sky, and I'll be playing some of that.

    I gave that one a try a while back,launch was rocky but then they kinda fixed it with a lot of patches with huge updates and content.

    Wish someone made SWG 2.0,i loved that game...to bad they closed it down.

    I like my single player games on my PC that I could probably play forever. Skyrim, Fallout NV, Fallout 4, FF9, FF10, Witcher 3, and I could see playing Ghost Recon Wildlands indefinitely. I'd like to see a port of the first Metal Gear Solid for PC. No Mans Sky looks like a contender for playing it indefinitely. I like games with great replay value.

    One of the best games ever! I don't play video games that much anymore, but stealth games like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell were always my favorite. And the Hitman series.

    Good morning Folks !!! :wub:

    I need to get my lawn cut today. Was supposed to be cooler today but it sure doesn't feel like it. It's thick and NOLA swampy feeling. I'll spray myself with the hose out there. That will work and feel good.

    Then make another milk choc batch w/FA FC.

    Bought some new dog treats the other day. Real salmon. Opened the bag in my kitchen and just about tossed my cookies. Dog however, was mighty interested and loves them. The grosser the smell the more they love it. Added a bunch more plugins around the house to kill the fishery stench. :D

    Good morning random folks :)Have you any plans today?

    Probably smells a lot better outdoors too.
