Did you find a laptop? I bought a fairly inexpensive Lenovo a couple months ago and it's ok but could be a little better. When I'm working with a lot of images it can get a little slow.
I'm still searching around and narrowing down options. I will probably wait to actually buy it next month during Best buy's back to school sale. I got a really good deal 3 years ago then on my last laptop.

    I think that a lot of the companies use the same shipping company and they got out in the same shipping container. I've had items ordered days apart arrive on the same day many times.
    Didn't think of that. I don't order that much...LOL. Makes sense.

    Hey hi !!!! :)

    I figured it was about time to leave the forest for a bit. I'd rather not, but there are things I need to do around the house.

    I have an old but perfectly good Lenova laptop. I bought it to take with me when hubs and I went camping. When he got so sick we didn't go camping anymore. It been sitting in it's case for at least 3 years. I do take it out now and then to make sure it still lives.

    Welcome back. I missed you :wub:
    I missed y'all too. :)

    Happy I got the grass cut this morning. It's gonna be in the 90's with tropical like dew points and humidity here for the next week plus. Could be worse, I hear summer temps are hotter on Venus. :D

    Windows. Preferably HP, Dell, or Lenovo. And I am looking specifically for a 15 inch screen, so it does narrow my options a bit.

    That's what I got. I like the bigger screen and having the number keys on the side.

    Good morning!
    LOL I won't say my age. :) I am a Virgo though. Off to water the garden and to exterminate the Japanese beetles trying to destroy everything in their path.

    We had those beetles a few years ago. They made the leaves on my crabapple trees look like window screens.

    Would you be surprised if I said it was all @Butch 's fault?
    and naturally we ran with it :)

    If I never spend another dime, I have enough to keep vaping for 30 or 40 years .
    I will have to buy pg & vg but that is all. ...........:confused:

    At 74 yo I think I'm covered.:D

    Just a random thought ....

    I'm vaping my fig cookie mix today. It is tasty. And yummy.

    EssEmTee Fig Cookies and Milk

    FA Vanilla Cookie 1.5%
    FA Milk 0.75%
    FA Fig 0.5%
    VTA Fig 0.25%
    FA Blood Orange 0.25%

    Suggested steep time = 3 weeks (30ml). If making 10ml or 15ml you can get by with a week to ten days. I tried some after 3 days and it was good, but it is better with a solid steep.

    FA Vanilla Cookie is excellent in every mix I've used it in. FA Milk is, well, just awesome. The FA and VTA figs combined are very convincing. FA Blood Orange helps to brighten the figs and offers a wee bit of zest.

    Don't let the low % on the FA blood orange fool you. It does exactly what I intended it to do, brighten. My first mix without the orange was good but it lacked something. It is much better with the help of the orange. You will get a very slight orange note on the back end. To enhance that, increase the orange by 0.25%. Orange and fig work well together IRL.

    The combination of the milk and blood orange bring juiciness to the mix. It would be a dry vape without them. FA blood orange is fade resistant.

    If you want more fig, then increase each in 0.25%-0.5% increments, but keep the ratio. The cookie could be pushed to 2% and the milk to 1%. Orange should then be bumped up to 0.5%. If you desire more orange flavor then increase it to 0.75%.

    @Zazie, can you please add this to your Blog? Thank you. :)


    ETA: The sweetness is about mid level. ;)

    I never think in terms of age. IMO, it's just a dumb number. The world already has too many numbers going on, in my book. Less is more.

    I've always been a kid in mind, heart and soul. Or like a big ol puppy ready to play and have fun all the time. When that stops... well, I won't be here anymore. :D :pervy:
