Dear Anna,
Some of your posts make me think you are the female incarnation of Hunter S. Thompson in Fear AND LOATHING in Las Vegas. Yes, that is a compliment ( sort of, kind of, I think so... I like it!) Carry on. :)

Hunter S. Thompson was a poser and something of an exaggerator. That book about the Hell's Angels for the most part, well, they let him tag along.... On a GIRL"s Harley. He wasn't "observing' the train out of journalistic horror, they were like, "Nah, bro, you can't take part in this activity..." Well, he spun a good tale I suppose. Actually, I enjoyed a lot of his later writings a great deal more. LOL.

My life is truly not that exciting. I am guessing Hunter S. would agree with me (as far as being a poser, and knowing how to spin a good yarn. LOL, we would both mutually agree we sucked, both of us would admit.)

I will say many of my tales do contain "drugs," but....

Hunter is not the guy I want to talk to first in Heaven though. I really want to ask Santa Claus his thoughts on Jesus. LOL. Sincerely. He's far down the line, Socrates sounded so DOPE, there's good old Mary M., I really want to know "da truth", gosh I have to counsel David Foster Wallace (but it's heaven so he's happy) he was probably like "I came to you in that dream about writing because I was trying to explain a writer can smoke TOO much, not that your book was good, etc., but you were delirious from the pneumonia."

Oh well, at least you did not say I was funny re: mental illness because I was a "slightly manic at all times" as some sort of backhanded... whatever. It's called hypomania and I'm not hypomanic presently. I might have to put that in my sig as an inside joke for myself alone. "You mistake my humor....I am slightly manic.

Inside DSM coding jokes are great.
Anna

    My room is small but generally fine. Kinda cozy actually. That’s under usual circumstances but now I have major clutter with all the Christmas shopping. My chest of drawers will be here the 19th and I’m going to stuff the drawers with whatever gifts will fit in them for now.
    Fran, did you not take any of your furniture when you moved? Or did you just want all new stuff?

    You don't suck, not making fun of you. I think some of your stories sound like intros to the wild jouneys he took in that movie. Keep posting, I was just playing around a little.

    I actually have a shelf full of mixes, first time in a long time. SFT's of Quince and Quince Jelly, two rootbeers, Bronuts and Pecan Shortbread. In addition to my long-time mixes Strawberry Cheesecake/Custard/Biscuit and Lemon Cake. I'm set for a while!

    I’ve never had a tobacco flavor that I could vape. If a NET tastes like pipe tobacco smells , but not like what smoking a pipe tastes like... it might be worth a try. If that even made sense???

    I am just scanning the last few pages here, and I happened to see this post. Might I add a few thoughts ...
    There are lighter and heavier NET flavors. Virginia based tobaccos tend to be sweeter due to the natural sugars in the leaf. Burley is mild, and Cavendish is actually a process, not a type, where the stems and views are removed to make a lighter, sweeter taste. Perique is a white leaf tobacco that is grown and processed only in Louisiana, and is a little spicy. Turkish tobacco is a little bolder, and Latakia is processed (smoked and pressed) to be hearty and strong. Think English Blends for Latakia.
    Cigar tobaccos, like Maduro and Connecticut Leaf, are usually drier. Criollo and Corojo are grown from Cuban seeds in Honduras and Kentucky. Again, drier than most pipe tobaccos.
    And then there are various processing methods, and countless top notes (Vanilla, Cherry, Caramel) are lightly sprayed onto the tobacco to give it a distinct flavor.
    Too Much Information ? Probably.
    If you are looking for a pipe tobacco taste, try a mild blend of Virginia, Burley and Cavendish tobaccos with a top note flavor to start. Vendors like Heather's Heavenly Vapes and Naturally-Extracted-Tobaccos offer these.
    Hangsen sells extracts that are quite popular as well, but I make my own so I can't comment on them.

    I had every idea of bringing my own furniture but my daughter had other ideas. Her house, her dime, though I did pay for this last chest of drawers. To be fair I did have a bookcase headboard that would have took up extra room.

    I finally have all of my supplies to move my refrigerated nicotine into Boston rounds and borosilicate for freezing. I am struggling to find a video/thread that can give me an idea of maybe some things that I might not think of. I have the nicotine I have electrical tape I have bubble wrap boxes packaging stuff I got a funnel I've got gloves got syringes and I have eye protection. I believe I need to start by bringing my 100 mg per milliliter nicotine up to room temperature. So hopefully by the time that happens I'll have a better idea of what to do. I mean I'm pouring a somewhat hazardous material into glass bottles with cone caps and then freezing them so I have a pretty good idea on what I need to do but there might be some things I haven't thought of. I know there's got to be a thread on this but most of the threads I find are encompassing way too much for me to be able to follow if anyone has a link or a video that they found useful I would appreciate it thank you

    I think all the little kids birthdays are in Jan and Feb plus my oldest daughter and a SIL

    Growing up, I hated this sentence with a passion, "don't forget, that's your birthday present too". I should have at least got extra stuff for being born on 3 Kings day.

    If my mom wanted to settle in with me, I would let her bring her furniture. We might have to put an extension on the house but I would let her bring it. Oh well. I guess everyone' s different.

    Anna

    Also, my mom is never gonna want to live with me. In fact I think she moved away, in part, to PREVENT it. But it's cool, my older brother is RUTHLESS and will stick her in a nursing home when it is time. She's worse than me when it comes to stubbornness and assessing her own capabilities.

    All I did was let my nic come up to room temp and pour it in the bottles. I had no need for a funnel but I guess that depends on the size of containers you're using.

    I'm probably overthinking things because that's something I'm really good at doing LOL

    Not everyone makes the money you do at present.
