Morning Mixers!

The 10 yr old went home, and I am sad about that. We are truly "two peas in a pod". I have a Dr. appt today and the wife wants to go to a Lazy Boy store to order a recliner.

Looking forward to the weekend, maybe the 10 yr old will come back over!
I love the way you love hanging out with your grandkids. That three-year-old doesn't know what she's missing.

    I don't think my taster is any better, or worse, than anyone else. :) My sense of taste is peculiar and fussy. Fussy, yes. :D

    Mostly I think everyone's sense of taste has certain flavors they're more sensitive to.

    I cringe with the thought of everyone liking caramel and butterscotch flavors. And vanillas, oh jeez, my vanillas! BCF, and others, would always be out of stock and I would be in serious dire straights. That's my flavor nightmare! o_O :D
    I'm pleased that I won't make you cringe. I don't like butterscotch in ecig or rl, I can't taste caramel at all except in rl. I like vanilla's ok but my favs are creams.

    I just don't understand these people that won't get the shot.
    I don't understand those types either. But, since the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine (Moderna and J&J to follow) those folks will have to get vaccinated or companies will let them go. Rightly so, IMO. Many larger companies have already mandated employees get vaccinated, or bye bye, so long.

    Delta Air Lines notified employees a couple weeks ago that they will face $200 monthly increases on their health insurance premiums for not getting vaccinated. I think that is the right way to handle it with the unvaccinated. Hit them where they will hurt. Make them pay more for their stupidity. They are the greatest % occupying our hospitals and in many cases the reason why hospitals are turning away vaccinated patients who require care.

    More and more our country is voicing its displeasure with those who refuse to get vaccinated. They are the minority. I would have zero tolerance for any of those types. I would implement a vaccine mandate across the nation. No one would have the option of refusal.

    And this isn't at all about politics like a certain group has made it into. It's a deadly virus as has been proven over and over by the global scientific community.



    Sorry, ok back to DIY. Flavors = good. Flavorless = good too. Options for all.

    Oy, it got really super dark here in the last 1/2 hour. Was nice and sunny. Checked the radar and weather. Radar looks nasty. NWS says severe thunderstorms.

    Went out to look, yep, lotsa lightning to the west, super windy. Very dark. Big thunder boomers approaching, you can feel them.

    I love thunder but not a fan of close lightning or wind. Stay safe.

    Afternoon folks. I'm just finishing up my lunch break and thought I'd check in. I want to try to mix Charlie's strawberry custard tonight if I can find time without the lime. I think that's what's throwing off the taste for me. I love the raspberry version so had high hopes for the strawberry.

    I liked the raspberry also and I did vape it all. Even though tasty it’s just too much custard for me and not enough raspberry.

    Stop that. You my fine Lady are no loser. Nope. Not in a million years!
    It's too bad the internet doesn't allow people to see when one's tongue is planted firmly in one's cheek.

    But now to a serious matter: I'm looking for 16- or even 32-ounce bottles like these, i.e., made of nice, squeezable LDPE with dispensing caps that twist to open and close. So far, I've had no luck finding what I want on Amazon. Anyone have any ideas?

    No help here. I don't use much plastic. Hopefully, someone can help.
