Unfortunately, it's not just America. Obesity is quickly becoming a global menace--abundant food, sedentary lifestyle. Since fewer and fewer of us have to walk for miles to gather a basket of berries or chase a hare for dinner as our ancestors did for millions of years, we're gaining weight. Are you familiar with the thrifty gene (or the later drifty gene) hypothesis? Quite fascinating, at least on paper.

Imagine if we had to walk miles to get a tank or a bottle of juice. There would be some major athletes around here.

Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

Wicks and coils. Normally I change wicks after 2 weeks, whenever a tank gets to that point. Never more than one or two at a time. But I did all my tanks and the wife's at the same time before we went on vacation so now they are all ready for rewicking. I hate doing a bunch at once, I need to get them staggered out again. I'll do the ones that really need it today. Maybe half a dozen. And most of them are due for new coils as well. I do that after 4 wick changes. Luckily I topped up all my juice bottles before we went away so I don't have to do that for a while.

On my next mixing session I'm going to try coffee w/sweet milk & caramel-pur- @5%.

I made some coffee recently with TFA Caramel Cappuccino with a bit of cream and vanilla. Not bad. The CC is so strong I had to mix a bottle of it at 10% because the quantity I needed was too small to measure.

    If I remember correctly, I tried that a long time ago and put one or maybe two drops in a 30ml bottle.

    TGIF! Lucky me that city hall is on the way home - I volunteered to leave work early and drop off a check. This has been a long week so I'm more than happy to do it. :thumbs:

    It looks to be a busy weekend with errands and chores, including bottle washing that I didn't get to during the week. I might have to skinny down my list of planned mixes. I do have a bit in stock steeping so it's not urgent, but I like having the next round in the wings.

    Our little dog Izzy hasn't been herself and keeps chewing at her .... area, and last night the wife found a big lump in that area so we found a animal hospital that will take her in today and we'll see what is going on. 3pm appt. Neither could sleep worried about our dog.

    Speaking of fruit combos ... :) The watermelon peach combo is intriguing to me (unsalted line) since I saw it. I thought I would try a diy. I had a watermelon peach daiquiri once upon a time and l liked it a lot so I might even try adding rum and a touch of lime to it if I can get the more simple watermelon peach combo right first.

    I’m thinking of trying a simple watermelon/strawberry if I can work out % I like.

    Is Nom Nomz's shipping cheaper than Chef's?

    Or, if anyone is going to be placing an order with either, would you be willing to get some Decadent Vapours Absinthe for me? I figure the cost of shipping from you to me might work out to be less.

    Oh, lord. I hope it turns out to be something minor and easily treatable.

    I was going to share steeping time but then realized you steep everything real good.

    Anyone else trying it needs at least 4 weeks for the milk note to show...

    Before we found out about Izzy we started the process to adopt a puppy from the same place we got Izzy, and we have "meeting" with the new pup tomorrow. It's a 8 week old mix breed small dog female named Macaroon. But I will change that name lol.

    Meanwhile Izzy is listless, won't even walk. Just lays there so I can't wait to find out what's wrong.

    I steep all of my mixes for a minimum of 4 weeks.
    I assume you tried it, how do you like it?
