Never sprained anything myself... I break things... Badly. :blush:

Fourth Grade, broke both bones in my forearm (um, arms shouldn't bend there, should they? I tripped. :lol:), broke 3 toes at different times, one near the joint bone on my big toe (took 8+ weeks to heal), but my crowning achievement was tearing my ACL and both menicus in one full swoop... Major surgery, which coincided with my switch to vaping, because I couldn't get downstairs/outside to smoke.

I'm an accident going somewhere to happen. :danger:

Oh, and I hit a car once, physically ran right into it as it came down the street. Was about 9 or 10 and my family was visiting friends in Brooklyn, no yard to play in, so we were playing hide-n-seek in the streets... Ran right into the side of the car as it came down the street. I didn't see it due to the double-parked cars. Bounced off of that car, into a parked car, then fell onto the street. I was fine, but dazed.

I hate Brooklyn....

I crash landed on dad's car once learning how to do an aerial cartwheel.

I mixed it at 3% for sft and tasted it after a week (?). I got a peach hit upfront and ginger on the back end. It was slightly harsh. A week later it's settling down and smoother. I also did Fuzzy Rum (Fizzy subbing the ginger peach for ginger ale) and that's pretty yummy too. My current tank has a mix of the two. I'd made them at different strengths and wanted something in the middle. It's still good. LOL. It wouldn't be an ADV but it's an interesting change up.

Once again I'm stuck looking at vape mail with flavors (G&T!) to play with an no time to do mix. Plus I broke my ankle and I'm in a boot 24/7, non weight bearing for 6 weeks (crutches, ugh) which makes it impossible to get all my gear set up to mix. I may beg the husband for help one day as my stock of juice runs low. It's a good thing I did some mixing on my vacation. Sigh.
:( Sending healing thoughts your way. Boots suck.

Question, cause I suck at mathing. So instead of second guessing myself all day... For the SIL’s birthday, got a one shot of his favorite juice from the b&m. I have 30ml they said to mix at 30% (!!!!! O.m.g. high). So, for 100 ml, put in the 30 of flavor and 70ml of base?

    Feeling better with all the stories of others antics!

    My knee surgery was for an ACL. I slipped on ice in the driveway in a freak snow storm, 2 days before the DH's BD. The only other bone I've broken was falling down some stairs (see a theme?) in an old pub in London on my last night of vacation (another theme? LOL). I went to the ladies room before friends from the office there took me out for a night on the town so I was sober at the time (another contributor?). I broke my tailbone and had a 6hr flight across the pond the next morning. I stood most of the way. That was a major ouch.

    Man I am LOVING my tea mix. I pick it up all the time and it is causing me to confront if I want to retire my beloved Steampunk for awhile, which always seemed to have not my very favorite mix, etc., but still, it's HEAVY and like, well I wish I had something lighter/smaller.

    But then I remember how it was my first real mod, and how I LOVED IT SO. IDK. Decisions, decisions. Guess I shall see and etc,, but I can't believe I want to retire the steampunk AND how much I like this tea now. I think I gave you the recipe once Jasmine/black tea (did a separate chai) one and 0.5 condensed milk. I added a bit of Sweet cream and it is So good. And really not sweet .If you want I can give you flavor manufacturers and like percentages
    .
    Handout time was all bullying and depression today. Yoga is soon to appear. Etc.

    Got nada mixed today except the one shot for my son in law. Did get a cool case to organize some art supplies. Had to quickly fill it, because my brain kept saying, “oooh, vape box!!!!” For $11, may order another if it proves sturdy. Don’t want my vape shinies to feel neglected!

    I do have sympathy but had to give the story a funny. Please forgive me.
