    I hope you feel better @NolaMel! My wife is feeling poorly so I took her to a ER last night. Fluid behind one ear drum, ear infection but her bp was 180/87 and they didn't do anything about that thinking she was just nervous. Not good as today she has tested at 187/97 and other readings near there. I don't know what to do and she doesn't want to go anywhere as of now. Her son also tested positive for Covid but he hasn't been here in some time.

    HBP is nothing to fool around with. Hopefully you can convince her to get seen. And, I’m sorry she’s making you worry. That’s not fair.

    Free is fine. No money can be involved.

    You haven’t made your stimulus flavor order? Better hurry before you spend the money on.......something else.
    Haven't got the check in the mail yet... should be soon. Getting flavors and Z coils for the kroma-Z.
    P.S. Spreading the goodness... going to send Terri a few things.

    Very curious... what percentage did you use FA Pomegranate at?
    I don't think you guys are getting this... it has NO flavor, NO sweetness, just some floral. I mixed it at recommended solo % and then even added more... still nothing. The FA Kiwi I ordered at the same time (from the same place) is fine. It's like when they create flavors, they use different ingredients... but they forgot to add everything but the floral part. PM me... I would love a second opinion (will send a sample) I have never had a flavor issue like this before (sure, I'm sort of strawberry blind but at least I get some flavor and sweetness... not with this one) I started with 3% and bumped it more... still nothing.

    She should see a medical doctor ASAP. Those BP reading are a indication of a hypertension crisis. When my mom was alive they did the same thing to her. My brother took her to the ER and they dismissed it and sent her home. I got in my car and drove over 600 miles and I took her back to the ER. I told her one thing to say in order to obtain the correct tests she needed. They did a cat scan and then a MRI. Her problem was she had a lymphoma the size of a grapefruit pressing on her heart. BTW I told her to fib and say she felt like a elephant was sitting on her chest. I knew (from being in healthcare) they could not dismiss the symptom.

    Other factors to consider: The BP your wife has is not normal. Please have her see someone.

    I really don't think the ear infection could cause a rise in BP that much. If she had a viral infection or taking a new medication maybe.

    The entire season (now currently December-September) we will only be able to fish 80 ft or less, but in October is the time when the fish are that shallow. So basically these rules ruin us in being a viable fishery. Fishing 80 ft or less the rest of the time, we are going to catch nothing. We count on getting most of our quota from just one month, October, and now we can't.
    I've been following your commercial fishing adventures... you work so hard and I respect that. This totally sucks!

    Like French toast, it's fairly sweet. I would say around a 8.
    IRL, french toast isn't very sweet... it's the syrup that makes it sweet (not being a smart ...) but... when I was a kid and we went to Ihop, I would get FT and put Boysenberry syrup on it. Do you have a berry you could add to it (I love PUR boysenberry preserves) of course, you could also add maple. Good call on the cinnamon roll (a little extra vanilla is good too) I'm a french toast fanatic ;)
    Hey... happy birthday!

    We're all friends here (more or less) so I don't see any harm in asking. And given how we're under attack, let's stick together.
    It wasn't my personal opinion... I remember one of the mods saying that (or maybe they were referring to the classifieds?)

    I’ve seen something like that before. I think what I heard was that they don’t want people selling stuff outside of the classifieds but I’m not sure on free stuff.

    There’s a pif thread too, or used to be.

    There used to be 1 general one strictly for PIF. There was also a separate DIY Swaps subforum where people could swap flavorings and other DIY supplies. I took part in several swaps while it was active. But, both have been shut down for awhile.

    I will say again free is fine. There can be no money involved. If money is involved it has to be in the classies

    half a percent??? I used 6 times that. or was that a typo?
    0.5% is not a typo.

    I would never use FA Pomegranate at 3%.

    3% is IMO too high and would IMO taste like crap. And 3% is likely the reason you experienced what you did.

    If I were you I would try the pomegranate you have as an SFT at 0.5% - 1%.
