Over a hundred posts behind.... Not even gonna try. LOL.

I just wanted to say happy mixing everyone and much love to @FranC I hope all is going well!!

We are moving in exactly thirty days and I KNOW I have over 10 days between places (will be taking PTO so it's 13 days more than 30 days, effective days) and the kid is coming to help and I am STLL freaking out. LOL Also no cabinets or kitchen sink among other things... Although I am starting think the husband may have a hope in hell completing things in the house potentially.

I loved my Douglas team visit I am going to LOVE it there, I am fairly certain.

    Ok,now please explain. Did you buy a house? Where are you moving to and why are you missing the kitchen sink (and cabinets?).

    I agree, FLV Chocolate Deutsch is a very good flavor, provided you don't mind a little coconut with your chocolate. I happen to like it but the coconut does limit it's usefulness to some extent.

    Additionally it has a fairly hefty load of DAAP ( 2255 ppm Acetoin / 87 ppm Diacetyl ) which, for some reason, isn't included in the information listed on BCF. It is pretty concentrated so your exposure is limited in that regard but still, it's better to be aware than not, right? :)

    You probably already knew this but I thought it might prove useful for someone.

    Yeah, I already know this but I try not to let it bother me. I generally use it around 0.75% in any one mix and never higher than 1% so I feel it's all about PPM you know. ;)

    I really need to move my .... and start getting some recipes together and get something mixed.Yes,I still have much mixed juice to vape but I need to do this.I'm started to drive myself nuts with boredom at home when there's stuff I should be doing. I at least have been working on some recipes today. I have some cheesecakes I want to use up.Some of the "other cheesecakes" I've gotten are ok but my favs remain Cap and TFA.So I'm going to try and come up with at least one new cheesecake next.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I need to start making room for my new flavors. I was looking at my flavor list and wondered why I ordered some and if I’ll ever use half of the ones I have. I’ll just continue on down the rabbit hole smiling.

    Okay @FranC prepared to be "explained."

    So, yes I started working in Sierra Vista and got an apartment there during the week as the commute is not sustainable. My lease is up at the end of the month.

    In the meantime, I was like, stewing over "Do I want to stay in Sierra Vista or go to another site (there are like 6 of them through the county." I loved my Sierra Vista team and all but many patients were um, a bit suburban for my taste. So, I kind of paid attention to the clients I had fun with (because I was in mobile units, at the detention center, all over.) I came to the conclusion that like, the kiddos I liked were from Douglas AZ. This is one of the most border cities in AZ I mean it is UP against the wall. Also not so many people want to live there and work there.

    I am getting a 20K stipend to work there. I asked my boss and she was all excited (there has not been a person in "my" position for like 6 years) and also said I could do some counseling in the afternoons it will be awesome (I get my own office! It has a window!)

    So, my Sierra Vista lease is up and I talked to the husband and he very gamely agreed that we could move to the edge of the earth (also learning Spanish BTW) and he has been preparing the Tucson house for sale, etc.

    But, I now have a "deadline to move" since I am switching positions. We are gonna rent in Douglas for a year as well we don't want to try to buy a house in like 10 minutes, without selling ours first , plus it's probably good to check out a place to live like that before buying as apparently, if you buy a house in Douglas it is yours to own forever. Etc.

    But, I really like Douglas and the rural melting pot atmosphere. We will probably buy something on the outskirts on 27 acres or something, it's not like stuff is EXEPENSIVE there and my salary now approaches 100K which frankly is a little freaky for me, I'm used to being an impoverished SW.

    Anyway I met my new team this week I believe I shall be very, very happy. The clinic is amazing ,etc, it was built out of a historic school, light everywhere (my current place used to be a chemo building, it has lead walls and no windows).

    So, that is the story. I think. I'm super delighted but I am also like, "Woman, are you insane?" Only I don't think so there is literally almost nothing in my apartment and well, moving is moving. Etc.

    Not too many tobacco vapers here however a new tobacco flavor I am vaping — RED DEAD RY4 DOUBLE

    I steeped for three weeks and instead of the two tobaccos in the recipe, I used 4% FA RY4 and 2% JF RY4 Double. I find it tasty and will mix a larger bottle. Adjust to suit your taste.

    I used to love my tobacco blends but I seem to have lost my taste for them.

    Also...I got all my "easy" flavors in cases. I have a lot of chocolates,vaniilas,creams,cheesecake etc.Those were all easy as they all took up a half case or close to it.I also did a half case with the select fruits I usually pick to use. Now,im left with mostly a bunch of odd flavors like the milks and stuff. I could give a better idea if I was home but I'm not sure how to do those odd flavors in cases. Any ideas?

    I'm a huge vanilla bean ice cream (cap) fan. Love it's plain vanilla creaminess.

    Got some new flavours to try and broaden my taste buds. Hangsen FV Ice Cream at 2% was great, but too 'buttery". VB Ice Cream (TFA) at 3% was too floral and rich.

    My taste buds are so pretentious :facepalm: my next purchase is vanilla bean ice cream (fw) - any fans of that one?

    I don't have that but have you tried the TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato? Some folks like it more than the TFA VBIC. I like both.
