I live in a little "cute" town, and at first glance it may seem lost in time like an idyllic town like Mayberry in the Andy Griffith show.. but it's not. It's actually so lost in time, and this area in general, that they are behind the times in just about every way. I see more Confederate flags here than I've seen anywhere, I've even seen White Power flags. What the heck? There are literal neo-nazis here, and also there are lawn and city zoning/code psuedo-nazis. I threatened to sue the city jerkwads after they ordered me to abate(destroy) my strawbale garden(ignorance), and they haven't bothered me since we wrote them a letter.. no response at all. I used to get harassed all the time about my lawn, for no reason at all. Last time they did, I told the guy to eff off and hasn't come back since. Not sure they know how to respond to people who don't bow down to their "Law". People are behind the times in home decoration, fashion. I've seen quite a few sketchy characters that enjoy the bad sort of drugs. But all that said, it's a pretty nice town. We are semi-hermits and keep to ourselves, and it's generally a very safe place. That said, I'm still getting a gun :lol:
The Norman Rockwell idyllic towns don't exist, every place has their own set of problems.. and benefits. It's not all gloom and doom.

It's also ........ free, or, if it isn't, they are super discreet. No traffic light and no police department, either. It ain't heaven, but it's pretty good.

    Let us know how that goes. It sounded really cool before it was released but then it got panned for being boring and repetitive. I did hear they made a lot of improvements since then.

    It had problems at launch I remember - I paid to get it Day 1 on PC and it wouldn't even play so I got my money back and never played it until now on Xbox Game Pass. So far I like it, it's like Ark Survival but in space.

    I went out, but I forgot my mask. I am more awake now and just chilling on the couch, waiting for y yoga which will not happen soon. I feel like musica during my yoga today but like everything is all packed up and weird and frustrating, I probably won't ask. However, I did go out. Because I did not want to be the only mask non-wearer and also did not want to return home, I got this GIANT maxi pad out of my purse I mean it was GIGANTIC. I glued it to my face and then I used my lanyard to hold it in place. I think it was working pretty well, I could barely breathe. It was a fun time though because Food City had what I needed, and really they always do. I should shop there more, honestly. I am going to miss the Food Cities in AZ, truly. Although, it was sad they had the FORMULA locked up next to the ALCOHOL and holy goodness I wish someone would teach those fat 15 year old kids to BREASTFEED as long as they aren't doing drugs. I actually donated some money to homelessness when I saw it. I always have no idea where that dough is going really, but WHATEVER what can I do. Well donate on my taxes 600 bucks gets instantly returned. NOT to my work this year however.

    Although I think it's time for me to let go of the Virgin of Guadalupe who was one of my favorite traditions. Every time I have gotten a candle lately I have broken it. Here is hoping.

    So, yeah I "masked up." I felt proud but also super stupid I told everyone "I forgot my mask" but I am telling you, it was hard to breathe.

    Then the husband came home and laughed very hard about my mask story. He also told me some studies happening overseas about T-cells and if you have them (there is a high probability I might) then you don't register positive. I'm not bothering to find out anytime soon, but like it might be nice if T-cells were real and that was my explanation. Etc. I am also less swollen up by a LOT so that is nice.

    So, yesterday is over, I plan to start hounding people tomorrow and well, maybe even calling my supervisor. That one is scary. But I don't have to consider it TODAY dude.

    Well we shall see and we shall find out. Etc.

    I think I can email the women in my life now. Do yoga even. I just waited out the clonidine. Who knows. For all I know I was eating BEADS or something last night. I don't know if we have any even but that would be ideal.

    In any case, a bit more lively. I will need to talk to the husband about when he wants us to go to the house and what that will be like, etc. But I don't want to today. We are both like a chillin.

    The Steam store has a bunch of PC games on sale right now if anyones interested. I got Fallout 4 goty, skyrim sse, and the dlc for fallout new vegas for $32. That's a great deal. Now to mod, this is going to take awhile :p
    LOL.I read that as Steam Room.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good evening. Day two of four finished. I’m still liking the lmn# and ry4 cream recipes. I hope I don’t get burned out on them too quickly. I am also using some blueberry milkshake to mix it up. I’ve been using a little of the green banana at a time and am actually kind of liking it now.

    I really dislike the taste of all the cookies/biscuits I've tried. They've all got that strong AP taste which turns me off. Wonder if the croissant is the same?
    I like cookie myself but no, I don't get AP from Coissant (it is an amazing flavor... bakery, with some mild "crusty" notes and buttery... Fran says she doesn't taste buttery but I do) Cookie (at higher %) can have a strong taste... I've made that mistake before and WF Croissant is a nicer flavor but very potent.

    Always nice to like what you’re vaping.

    That's how I do it. Of course you need a recipe with weights rather than volume, or am I misunderstanding?
    That's not a problem (I'm good at math) and besides, just weighing the flavors so basically 1ml = 1 gram. I already know the % I want to use. I make my base by volume (have a special container for that already marked off)
    I was very happy to find out (because I spent $50 and got free shipping) that it is FedEx :) Might be here Thursday.

    Grape aroma,can anyone recommend a good brand from a european website?
    Don't know what is available to you but here's what I have for grape flavors:
    (PUR) White grape

    (VT) Grape juice

    (FE) Grape

    (INW) Grapes

    (FLV) Grape

    The only grape juice I've tried is a pre-made "White grape tangerine" and it wasn't bad (and I don't even like grape candy but love real grapes) Tried it with Butter mint and really liked it that way.

    Had a busy day today,pops kept me busy and the house needed cleaning so i haven't posted much today.

    Needed some e-liquid and since my credit card won't be ready until the end of the week or maybe next week at the most i just went to my friends vape shop and got some e-liquid.

    Even thou it's already ''done'' and i only added the nic i did add some of this Koolada minty fresh thingy that i also bought so i think it can be considered a almost DIY ;)
    Leave to sit for tonight and will see how it tastes tomorrow,pineapple and mango...does smell good thou :)

    KAS, your post got me interested in making a milk chocolate. Earlier I looked up many baking and confectionary recipes for making milk chocolate.

    Most use a combination of some, but not all, of these ingredients: Coconut (cream, milk or oil). Vanilla extract. Milk powder, sweetened condensed milk or regular milk. Heavy cream. Some use brown sugar, confectioners sugar, or regular sugar. Butter. Most all used both cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Some used chocolate chips.

    With those in mind I whipped up 10ml ea of…

    #1
    FLV Milk Chocolate
    VT White Chocolate (sitting behind/backing up MC)
    VT Milk Fresh
    FLV Sweet Coconut (tiny amount, won't notice it)
    FLV Vanilla Custard (not a real custard)
    INW Biscuit (won't notice it)

    #2
    WF Chocolate Chunks
    VT White Chocolate
    VT Milk Fresh
    FLV Sweet Coconut
    VT Vanilla Cream
    INW Biscuit

    I will know more after a good steep. :)

    ETA: Gonna make another one using VT Dark Chocolate.
    I'll be interested to hear the results of your experiments.

    You can tell when your mind is going a bit stir crazy.
    So i bought today this oversized bottle of something like gatorade,think it's made in germany.
    Just a 750ml bottle,so I'm watching reruns of Royal Pains (season 3) so the bottle is almost empty and i don't know why i thought why not blow some vape inside the bottle.

    So i do that but now comes the weird part,let's see what happens when i squeeze the bottle a bit?
    Lo' and behold little vape rings came up....

    yeah i know it's stupid but man I'm bored out of my mind,need a weekend off or somethiing :banana::banana:
