Aww I'm sorry @Iron Molly . Losing a pet is so hard. I think it's because they like, just offer this wonderful, non judgmental love and you can miss them unabashedly spoiled by few bad memories. I will never forget losing my first cat and I was like 11.

He was the best cat ever.. It should like you gave your kitty much love and a great home.

@FranC I called in sick for the first time since my PI plan (performance improvement) plan. Not sure If I am coming down with the MANY viruses going around our work, or an emotional hangover or what. I had to pep talk me into it, ("it's been several months, you are a allowed to take the day off, your phone provides proof you have called in on time," etc. I mean.... I am exhausted. I think I'm allowed to be sick every now and then, and etc.)

I have some mod thoughts for the day but that is all they are. My house is clean, I am not gonna mop, I'll probably lay around not doing much TBH.

I feel like crud. I wish I could go to bed but well, a.m. .meds so not rest for this wicked.

Maybe I will play with butter mint. IDK.

    Take your meds and go back to bed. If you can't do that then make sure you rest lots.:)

    Nah, ain't no meds that counteract Adderall,. Well, MJ does, but I don't even have a CARD anymore this strikes me as unwise. And nope, won't be leaving the couch much.

    I feel pretty crappy, but also the kind of yuck where you are like, "I believe I can head this off. With some rest and Theraflu. Plus, anyone can get through Thursday and Friday."

    LOL they really ought to pa me to be the spokes person for that company. I swear! I could testimonial all day (including: "If you are a drunk with a cast iron stomach of steel, take before bed to preemptively cure a hangover! But only then!" Don't try it if you are not hard core!!")

    Man it was probably TERRRIBE for me (too much Tylenol) but boy did it work.

    My love for Theraflu was so intense, I had to run it by my sponsor. She was like "take it as prescribed, and only when you are sick?" I was like, "YUP." She was like "Go for it."

    It's the one good thing about being sick. I will make some after I finish my coffee.
    Anna

    Yes mon I know coffee is bad, but so are caffeine headaches. LOL I will rest I promise. Not even gonna CALL State Farm at all, it can literally FEEL it raising my blood pressure. I am in NO rush. In fact if I can make the claim continue for 2 years on my grudge, I so will. Although I hope not,.

    GOD ALL this could have been avoided if SONMONE I love but am annoyed with had Just Listened to my Urgent Real Estate Prophecies. But nooooo...

    I'm going to spoiler this, don't read if you don't want to maybe cry. Copy of e-mail sent to the rescue where I got my cat.

    Kitty, who I adopted from you in January 2007, has passed. My heart is broken. He was a big cat with a big heart and the biggest purr. He was the nicest cat to everyone, always. We handled asthma (he purred into his aerokat), and diabetes, but I lost him to intestinal lymphoma after 15 months. I am thankful that I have a wonderful vet who does palliative care and helped us make the most of the last year. When he didn't want to eat anymore, we had a morning of watching the birds at his favorite window, on his heated seat, with the window wide open. Letting him go was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I did not want him to suffer. I miss him terribly. He was the center of my life for so long, and my house does not feel like home without him in it.

    Thank you for helping him choose me all those years ago. When I am ready, I am hoping you can work your magic again to help fill the cat-shaped hole in my heart.

    Thank you all for the kind words in this thread, especially the advice that it's better too early than too late. I know I did the right thing, but it isn't making it any easier right now.
    I know it doesn't seem like it, but putting our pets down is the last act of love we can give them.

    @Bronze Have you tried any new NET mixes lately?
    Got all kinds of them in the pipeline that I'm working on. Next up is a bunch of Honduran Fruits including grapefruit, peach, tangerine, blueberry. I think I'll start digging into those today. All first attempts. Right behind these I have the Dark Fire/apricot, Dark Fire/banana, Caramel Apple Tobacco using Dark Fire, and of course I'm always working on my Chocolate NET. And I need to pick up some other strawberry flaves from BCF so I can retry Honduran Strawberry.

    Back to rain in the PNW, thankfully snow level still low enough that the summer storage looks to be holding, and maybe even growing. :thumb:

    So a hiatus from yard work for now, although of course the winter storms guarantee it's a career, not a job!

    Can I twist your arm to try the grapefruit first. Interested in that one. Also the Dark Fire/Apricot. Got any good chocolate mixes?

    Yeah, I can put the grapefruit in the on-deck circle. I'm very curious about that one too after whiffing that Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit by FW. I really liked the smell of that because it had a deep red grapefruit smell without the pucker. Might be a little sweet IDK but I can always cut it with another grapefruit which I'm doing on this first attempt. I'm also looking forward to the Dark Fire Apricot except I kinda messed up my first mix. I used 3% apricot by mistake. I wanted to use only 1%. I remixed it but that's not ready yet so I'll try the 3% for the heck of it. My choco mixes are dragging on. Just cannot find that magic spot yet. Many more things to try though.

    Could you refresh my memory on the H Prime? This is what you are using for your chocolate mixes? Have you used it any other way?

    Yes, I'm using Havana Primed in my choco mixes. My struggle with the chocolate mixes is the chocolate, not the NET. I've also used the H Primed in my Caramel Apple Tobacco and it seems to work fine (though I'm also trying it with Dark Fire). There again, my issue with this one is finding the right apples. H Primed is inoffensive and doesn't get in the way of other flavors so it would work with lots of other things including fruits and bakery. I also like it alone on occasion.

    <hugs> I’m so sorry. They fill our hearts with so much joy, and when they’re gone we’re left with that unfathomable and indescribable aching, giant EMPTY.

    Ok, that's what I thought. Looks like I will grab another bottle of the Honduran Ligero because I really enjoy the fruit mixes and one of the H primed. In 6 days I can decide if I want to add Dark Fire to my order.

    Hi all

    given the topic, I wanted to ask a silly question. I have the Aegis Boost and I was not advised to vape something that is not 50/50 (thickness and burning coils as the main reason)

    I am terrible at stuff, but my local store only has 1 brand that makes 50/50. The question is, can I mix stuff up to reach the desired proportions? Would it be different from a pre-made juice?

    if anyone could suggest potential combos from this site Premium E-Liquids from Superior Vapour that would be great. As said, I am really new to this vaping because I am quitting smoking. So many of the things that you folk find obvious are alien to me.

    Thanks again!

    I don't know anything about mesh coils but I'm sure someone here does. Feel free to ask anything. We understand newbs don't have all the knowledge. We were all newbs at one time too. :)

    I have that FW Grapefruit plus INW White Grapefruit and Fa Grapefruit. FLV Pink Guava is an excellent Grapefruit.
