@JustWondering1 @Katya - I used Contact Us on Atmopedia's website late last night and sent them an email asking where they actually ship from. Got a response really early this morning, which was: "Hi, we ship from Hong Kong and transit time usually takes 2-3 weeks."

Thanks, JC! :)

And try to formulate this idea for a floral flavor juice.

Can't help you with florals, even though I like Decadent Vapours Lotus Flower and Ylang-Ylang. Nice and smooth. But have you tried any tea eliquids? They are not floreal per se, but a nice black tea with a touch of Bergamot (Earl Grey) is very refreshing--with or without cream. And green teas have an almost floral quality. Almost. Jasmine green tea could be nice.

Retinoic acid. ;) It works, but not instantly. :lol:

Uh I have been on Retin-A and clindamycin lotion for years. I had bad zits as a kid, did that pill thing, the one with horrible birth defects. I was fine until I started meds. I have a super regular routine, and it works out fine (and I am not particularly wrinkly for a former 3 ppd smoker but dude, I have to stick to the routine or BAD things happen. I think like 3 of my meds have that side effect.

I was talking more laser treatments? Hehehehh. I also have a tiny sebaceous scar on my nose, but unless it grows, well I think it's okay. I'm not particularly vain, so there's that.

If it grows, I am going STRAIGHT to a dermatologist. But yes, there have been many times I have had to get prior auths for the dang Retin-A due to my age. Now it's generic thank GOD.

Hell has been happening. I am taking a lunch break. I better hurry up.

    Si, Seniorita. Packing is called HELL.

    I know I said I wanted to invent like a self cleaning fridge, but now I am back to teleportation.

    Teleportation, or servants. One or the other. I really need to get back to work I will be staring on the KITCHEN and the husband came fully equipped with a kitchen including a bread maker. The breadmaker STAYS, he makes great bread but it's gonna be tense.

    OMG I FOUND my very, very first set of dentures the ones with like 15 liners in them as they had to keep being relined as the swelling went down. I am not keeping them anymore (the have been floating in, I believe a former Pickle jar, and the liners are all flaking OFF they are PICTURE worthy even, but like, I have had two sets since then so I am getting rid of them at last. I really, really wanted to put them in a Mexico box but like, I was afraid the guy would NOT find it funny and like reject our FOUR TVs of various types and whatnot, and we can't be having that.; LOL.

    They are in a TIED up trash bag already or I WOULD take a picture. But I make it a rule to NEVER untie trashbags.

    OMG Accutane? With a pregnant lady with a big red line through her covering each pill? I was on that for a few refills but stopped due to vivid lucid dreaming (before that was identified, and they weren't all bad :)) Less than a handful of facial zits in my life :D My nose scar is from a chickenpox scab I picked ;) We really could be fraternal twins :thumbs:

    The only jasmine flavor I've had was jazzy boba
    Never heard of Jazzy boba, but for a boba drink effect (up here they use a green tea) I'd use FE Green tea, and FE sweet rice for that sorta non descript starchiness.

    Next Thursday crazy lady, I mean Mom, I mean @FranC . LOL I also like calling my other mom "crazy lady" but I NEVER use the "c" word. That is just wrong. Anyone can call me crazy lady and I am fine with it. You have this really um, incredible idea of our capabilities but not, not quite that soon. Soon enough.

    For a brief moment today, I felt like HONESLTLY I could return to work full time and do a good job. It was nice.

    Interesting. I like Ahlusion's Boba Tea. So sweet rice will give you that tapioca mild sweetness and mouthfeel?

    Oh, @Wayneo yes, Accutane. I am glad I did not get pregnant on it, because there were no warnings back then. Or about your liver. Or about severe, severe depression which my brother got (he was gonna get depressed anyway) but he was particularly turd-like during that period. I slightly forgive him now that I know it was kinda not his fault, but you can be depressed and still kind to others. If you are a chick anyway, if like you are a dude you can turn into this BALL of rage that is like a snowball rolling down EVEREST and by the bottom you find a way to like, set of a nuclear bomb.

    That is kind of what I thought my brother was doing on his computer. My parents dismissed my concerns. Course, they were really good at dismissing stuff. I mean I could have been, "I told my little brother to smoke MJ and he cheated on his girlfriend and I am totally concerned and feel awful." They'd be like, "Anna stop making stuff up."

    Anna

    ETA: I did tell my brother that and that is what happened. It was not a hypothetical example.

    There's also a Horchata flavor from TFA which is rice(y). I only ever used FE as a plain rice and added my own vanilla

    Thanks, Wayneo. But horchata most likely has cinnamon and vanilla in it. I was looking for a bland tapioca pudding flavoring.

    yes, Accutane
    For me it was about 18 years ago. Nasty drug, and when I stopped taking it, the doc said it was the most prescribed drug at the time. Nasty. The only side effect for me was the dreaming. Many were so great I can still remember them vividly :thumbs:

    Dunno, but FE works as a plain bland starchy rice ;)

    Crazy like a FOX @FranC .

    In Tucson, I was crazy like a coyote (not the human kind) but IDK I always loved Tucson coyotes. I cannot wait to find out what animal will adopt me in like, Clarksburg. It should be interesting.

    Douglas, it did not happen. When I showed up, a couple coyotes talked to me but they were very no nonsense and they were like, "OOoooh you are from Tucson, you can forget hanging with US."

    If any animal adopted me, I have no clue I was so busy coping with various disasters of all types, but like probably a VULTURE in which case I am glad I was not listening out. I sort of imagine vultures say stuff like "Death... maggots.... rotting flesh..... mmmm…. Die die die, we will fly overhead and DROOL."

    Yeah I guess there were times I sorta felt like that.

    I want to be adopted by something cute and fuzzy but NOT a squirrel. Oh there will be squirrels I am sure. I will have to cope.

    Oh, I have decided to forgive my kid. I kinda have to but he has to stew a couple more days. I was seriously wigged out to the point I emailed my mom and she was like, "Come on Anna, you know the kid CRIED for weeks when I sold my house and they cut down his favorite tree, he was also attached to "Mikey the blowtorch" I mean who names a blow torch. He probably just heard the word and flipped out."

    Then she was like,
    .
    His pets are hugely important to his sense of security.

    Anyway, hopefully it will all calm down. Just remember he is your only son and you both love each other a lot. And I know he is sorry for what he said. There’s plenty of room for forgiveness in a loving heart.

    My mom has become wise. I mean I was seriously scared he was drunk dude, I told her that of course I would forgive him but he needed to do his part. I also told her I would call earlier in the day and maybe we set up a code word for "I can't TAKE no more." Those actually work. I am also gonna put the dang dog on the cheap pet insurance my work offers because he is getting older, it will make the kid feel safer and well, the dog is getting older, I want him to be comfortable in his old age and if he gets any illnesses. I mean, shots and stuff are fine, but I think the kid would be happier with a pet maintenance plan. He is getting older and we are going to a whole new ecosystem.

    I think it will be okay. I was just hurt my kid ever THOUGHT I would consider that but well.... IDK.

    He better not call me the C word again though. NO way.

    Anna
