Well Fran, I've been toking on this Apricot Dark Fire for a bit now. As I expected, the apricot has overpowered the Dark Fire but I knew it would even at 3% (after mistakenly adding too much). So no surprise there. I have another 2SFT using 0.5% apricot in the box steeping so I can try that in another week or so. That said, I am very impressed with this apricot. I believe Anna mentioned her like of apricot too. She's right. I have to say, the apricot I'm using (half FA and half TFA) is as authentic a fruit as I've had. I'm not finding it too sweet but it's sweet enough to have genuine flavor. Perhaps I'm biased as apricot is one of my most favorite fruits. However, it also has a limit. I love it in smaller amounts before I've had enough. I'm sensing the same is true with the vapeable version. But I'm not wanting the apricot to dominate the Dark Fire so I am very much looking forward to my 0.5% mix. That may be too light, we'll see. But the bottom line here is I'm optimistic apricot can work with this Dark Fire. Can't wait for the upcoming tweaks.

Well, at this point in my life, a bottle will go a year or more, so not too spendy ;)



Banana has always been a problem... I've used the TFA Orange cream a little, and had no problems with my KFL plastic centers. Of course, higher % may make a difference...
Bottle of scotch, bottle of soda... same lifespan in my world. I do best to stick to my tea;)

Im turning a thought over in my head... orange cream, apricot and maybe some ice cream and/or vanilla. What did you use the orange cream in?

    I'm feelin better enough that like, I feel guilty for not going to work. That sucks, I should not feel guilty about that.

    I am getting these cold chills, but yesterday I investigated the thermostat and it was down to 64 degrees in here. I wish the husband would either teach me how to program that thing or un program it so I can use my highly scientific method of just turning it off when I'm not here, and turning it on when I AM here. Frankly.

    LOL my old lady glasses and sheer curmugenacity (that's not a word, it should be) got me to 71 degrees. Yay. I am also clean. This is making a rather large difference in my life. I am gonna more or less relax, but I think after Friday he can come up here, because they will give us a check which our mortgage company will take, and then we go through the whole HOW TO get rid of the old one and get something new on there.

    No, they don't help or anything,. they are all "FU. Here's your money, but like, we gave it to your bank, have fun and good luck." IDK this whole thing is nuts.

    Our agent does NOT like the fact the husband had hundreds of pictures of his work, and we also found an agency that specializes in tearing apart insurance companies limb from limb they also appeared interested.

    Guess we'll see what is the smack, but not much he can do until (and probably after) Friday.

    The underside of the house is still wet and most of the support beams are bowed or rotting out. YAY! OMG I am so glad *I* did not have to go under there. He is going to make a member of the "insurance team" do it and I cannot decide whether it should be the ADJUSTER ,her manager, or both. They both need to be punished, and it's.... Ooogh. Saw pics.

    I hope one of them gets bitten by a rattlesnake or something but no self respecting rattlesnake is going to hang out under there ATM I don't think,. LOL.

    Good luck Fran! I'm not sure what happened about an hour ago, I just crashed like someone that was on a sugar high and ran out of steam. I didn't eat any sweets for lunch and drank water so I don't know what caused it. I keep a bottle of green tea extract in my desk drawer for when something like that happens or I just need a boost. It took about 20 minutes to kick in but I'm feeling better now. Only about an hour of work left and am ready to go.

    It's a 500mg green tea capsule. I buy it from vitacost. I'm not much for drinking green tea either.

    I went to the grocery, and started a pot of vegetable soup, that quickly grew into two large pots by the time I cut everything up and started to put it in. I’ll freeze a bunch for my daughter. They (but especially the grandbaby :wub:) love it. At least that means dinner is already done!!!

    I started investigating the orange cream (tpa), but it looks like it’ll require another cream to boost it. I was thinking vanilla swirl, plus tpa apricot. But, that’ll take a steep so I didn’t feel too pressed to jump on it. Pondering maybe a drop of shisha orange for the bite. Or a little torrone. Still need to flesh it out on paper
