    I found out why my hip is hurting as the MRI showed bone necrosis, the same thing that caused my right ankle to collapse. I nearly died in'17 and was given very strong steroids for 6 weeks to get rid of an infection, and that's what caused this. The bone is dying so hopefully I can be given a hip transplant. If not the future will be painful.

    SMT's Basic Blueberry Muffin

    FA Blueberry Muffin 1.5%
    FA Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) 2.5%
    INW Shisha Vanilla 1.75%
    FLV Cream 1%
    FA Vienna Cream 0.5%

    In the past I've been very put off by the various DIY blueberry flavors. For me, they've either been too candy-like or they were totally fake tasting. Those experiences turned me off to using blueberry in DIY.

    IRL I love eating fresh blueberries and the occasional blueberry muffin. I mean, ya know, who the heck doesn't like BB muffins?

    Flavor-wise there is a new blueberry in town. Enter another one of Flavour Art's newly released flavors. Blueberry Muffin.

    Firstly, this blows away all the other blueberry flavors I've tried. With the exceptions of MF and VSO blueberries which I've not tried yet.

    When I received this flavor I thought about doing a SFT. My intuition quickly kicked in and said "naw, just go for it in a mix". I am very happy I did!!! I paired it with a nice creamy vanilla.

    The blueberry in FA's Blueberry Muffin got my attention from the very first hit. It is the most authentic tasting blueberry I've ever vaped. Yes, the realism is true to the fruit. The blueberry presents itself as fresh tasting with sweet and mild tart notes. Overall sweetness is about a 5.5.

    I get a pleasing muffin-like bakery note from FA Blueberry Muffin. At 1.5% the blueberry and muffin notes easily hold their own paired with my creamy vanilla base. For this mix I wanted the blueberry to present itself as it would in a real blueberry muffin. IOW, light on the blueberry flavor.

    FA Blueberry Muffin could be pushed higher for more BB flavor (2.5% easy, perhaps 3%).

    The muffin note could be boosted with the addition of CAP Nut Muffin. I'll be working on that in my next mix session.

    @Zazie can you please add this to your blog? TIA

    Hopefully you will get a new hip.

    My mom had both hips replaced one at a time. She did ok with it and I’m sure things are even better now.

    I’m going to have to try that blueberry. I’ve tried a lot of different blueberry flavors without much success.

    The problem is that if the bone they attach the new joint to is bad they won't be able to do it. I don't know yet exactly how much bone is affected at this point.

    Morning all, the PS5 we ordered is supposed to be here today or tomorrow and I think it'll be tomorrow. It comes with a game I really want to play so I can't wait.

    The 49ers and Eagles both won so the Niners are the #2 seed. They get to beat Seattle next week (sorry David Ock!). :)

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

    Same as every Monday . . . Wake up, take medications, breakfast of fruit with either cheese or yogurt with TV News and then the Women of the View, wait for Physical therapy to arrive during mid-day news, an Hour later - dress and run some errands. . . Very busy - NOT ! ! ! :D

    Good morning. Just another week at work. I think I'm feeling better but still have the sinus gunk a little. My daughter and her boyfriend stayed kind of late last night so I had zero time to relax before bed and didn't sleep all that well. Just have to make it through another day.

    Morning mixers.

    If you guessed watch the rain, you win! Claim is maybe a break tomorrow and half of Wednesday. We'll see :)

    Well, they get to try ;) As they say, on any given day... ;) Getting to the playoffs, yes, with a little help from the Lions!, is a lot better than the 5 wins all the guessers made at the start of the season :)

    Cabin fever is setting in, however, so we'll likely make some sort of town trip later. Time to test the windshield wipers, anyway ;)
