Yes, indeed, well the house I want is back on the market but the husband won't... for some reason. It is pretty isolated, but it does have an "Extra" double wide trailer we could put people in to rehab them. Like, my husband has a good friend who has diabetes and trouble with his health but has never left Tucson.

I wish I could magic things to happen, but they will happen. It is a bit of a hike. IDK.

But no neighbors we do not INVITE that is key. LOL.

Man my back is killing me. I am gonna tens unit it here for a while then get Walmart of the way. We have a Krogers here. I love Krogers. Also a Sams but the husband will have to buy another gigantor freezer first and yeah that FIRST stock up is pretty brutal.

Morning! I am going to look for a simple recipe that has TFA Key Lime in it. I'm not really sure what would pair well with it and I know I don't want to try it solo.

What is on you schedule for this Sunday, @FranC?

Give this one a shot. I really like it.

TFA Coconut Extra 2.50%
TFA Key Lime 10%

Good morning mixers. Shadav, any idea what’s causing your symptoms? Hopefully it doesn’t last and you get to feeling better.

I pulled some old mixes out of my cabinet that I’m going to dump and clean the bottles. I’d like to get something new out today to try.
not really sure, it's hard telling with my immune system...and I mean, it's not like I go out often, maybe once or twice a month just to pick up grocery orders and medications....I have extremely limited contact with people...
I thought at first it was just the changing of the seasons, I don't do well with atmospheric/barometric pressure changes, and then of course new season new pollen/allergies.....
and the idiot upstairs smoking in the hallway because he doesn't want to go outside since it's colder now

Shadav, feel better! Do you have access to a thermometer? Honestly, elevated temps for long periods seem to be a thing for a lot of folks. I will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Also GO to a Doctor or an ER in person if you feel like crap. I should have done that more than 6 weeks before I finally did! They kept saying, "Stay home, rest, blah blah we will do telemedicine blah blah when my fever spiked to 103 a few times, I finally had enough. If you can get your hands on a decent pulse ox meter (I was lucky my mom sent me hers) it can be reassuring to know how your breathing is. I mean mine dropped below 90 a few times but not for long or by much so I felt fortunate. Sort of. Nope. I felt miserable.

((Hugs)) to you feel better!

yeah I'm going to have to go to the doctor....while I did somewhat improve I'm not better and breathing is getting difficult again
had a fever a few times but not often...
I had some left over prednisone and benzonatate so took them last week and it helped some but not enough....at least now I can skip a step with my doctor and be like, look I already tried what usually works between the two medications and then doubling up on my nose spray and using my inhaler every 4 hours....
wasn't sure if this was just allergy/season related or some sinus infection but now pretty sure it's turning into pneumonia...going to try to get ahold of my doctor tomorrow.

something with strawberry and lime? key lime cheesecake/pie? tigers blood? lemon-lime?
I use it in my pina colada (but it's not really a simple recipe)

Huh, that's not a bad idea. I was originally thinking more about adding some cream type flavor to the Key Lime. But Coconut might pair well. I don't have Extra though, just the regular TFA Coconut.

And unfortunately, I now have the "Lime in the Coconut" song stuck in my head again.

This is 1 of Bill's Magic Vapor's recipes from 2014. He's a firm believer in high total flavoring %, so you don't have to "steep" mixes. I used to make it as written...when I first started DIY. It was very good, IMO. Since about mid 2015 though, I've cut each % in his recipes in half, when I make them. They're still very good, to me, when doing that. All flavorings in it are TFA.

Key Lime Pie

Key Lime - 13%
Pie Crust - 3%
Sweetener - 3%
Whipped Cream - 2%
Graham Cracker - 2%

Try it with the coconut you have.

That does look promising. Is the graham flavor this one? Cheesecake (Graham Crust)-TFA. Because I do have that one. I also do not have pie crust. But it does look tasty.

    I personally think the trailer on the property is a BIG mistake. Also, it is not necessary to be that isolated to have no close neighbors.

    Nope...it's just plain TFA Graham Cracker, with none of the Cheesecake notes to it. I personally wouldn't want a cheesecakey taste to my Key Lime Pie eliquid, since there's none in the real pie either...which I love.

    There are so many different flavor names to keep track of, I get them mixed up a bit sometimes.

    Yep...it's easy to do that. Been there, done that myself, too. :) Of course, the manufacturers could help with that, by not making some flavoring names so similar...at least within their own brand flavorings.

    Grocery shopping and a trip to CVS done. I can't help being rather proud of our little area of Southwest NH. Yesterday and today I saw exactly one person with no mask. That was a woman in WalMart yesterday and she was also going the wrong way down the aisle. I suspect she got escorted out of the store cause she kinda went poof.

    It’s not a simple one but I like this one. You could sub in the tfa.

    I got six glass bottles dumped and cleaned and cleaned out a tank and a couple pods. I loaded Fran’s white rush in the sceptre with a fresh coil. It’s pretty good. I also filled a tank with the evolution recipe. It’s definitely a base to add things to. Before I tried it I was thinking fruits but now am think some type of bakery flavors. Maybe both.

    Good morning. "Slept in" and grocery shopped. Mission accomplished. I found a nifty website to buy food stuffs in bulk that is geared towards restaurants, but is open for home use. I'm planning on getting containers and a heavy duty shelving unit(s), so that I'll have my own personal co-op. Who needs a 50 lb bag of popcorn kernels? Well.. i do :thumbs:
