So my husband and I bought a car this afternoon. Just got back home. Its not new, but it's only got 89,000 miles on it. It's a front wheel drive Chevrolet Cobalt, has air conditioning, cruise control etc etc.. absolutely pristine condition so it should be trustworthy to get to all my doctors appointments, some of which require 11 hours round trip road time... we needed something inexpensive and dependable on highways and we got it..! :)

I'm very happy with it!

Yeah. I would like for just one day to not do anything at all, instead of going full throttle every single day.

when I was younger, just for a getaway break, I would send my kids on an overnight sleepover with my mom and get a good book and a hotel room so I wouldn't be looking around at all the stuff I should be doing...

those short hotel stays were always nice, and it was a inexpensive small break from the day to day. Very enjoyable.

Maybe you need a day like that!

    Honestly right now I feel positively rich.. all my needs are met, health insurance is taken care of, the injections are helping and I'm not worried about anything, not even getting to appointments...

    I can just relax mentally, no stress no worries... just peace.

    it's awesome!

    That would work for me if I were in such a situation :) what's keeping me occupied is my job and time critical projects, gardening, landscape projects. They have to get done, can't just say oh well ill just do that another day with such little free time. What I really need is some rainy days on my off days so I can say, whelp can't do any gardening it's raining! (Even though I have good rain gear :p). Yours is a great idea though, so something like going camping for the weekend with zero responsibilities would be nice. I don't have any kids, just a fur baby.. but he's very low maintenance. Just requires food, water, treats, play time, belly rubs. Nothing taxing, and always happy to oblige play and belly rubs.

    Hello Mixers. If a Smok device showed up here, it would make it in the trash before it made it out of the box. And then I would just keep vaping on my Reos Grands.
    My version of taste testing ; five 10ml bottles. 0.8ml in each - DX Bavarian Cream, Vanilla Swirl, French Vanilla II, French Vanilla Creme, and Shisha Vanilla. Then add 0.2ml of Creme de Menthe to each.
    If I like either, it becomes a base for something I want to try.

    I will hope for rain on your day off. Hopefully you can get that weekend camping done sometime soon.

    Sounds like a good way of testing for you. Much luck.

    I should really do sft on my new flavors but don’t know if I will. I’ve had a real lack of motivation this weekend. Tomorrow is another day though. Maybe tomorrow.
    Maybe tomorrow sounds good to me.

    I bought a few smok mods when they were dirt cheap. I gave a few away but still have one. It was a color changing one. I have no idea why they put lights on a mod? Anyway, it will be the last mod I will try in 10 or more years.
    I think I remember seeing that one.
