I can't make strawberry work for me either. I'm in that dilema where I tried five different ones that didn't cut it for me. Others say try this one, try that one because they are better. They may be right but after trying five different ones that failed for me how much more time, effort, and money do I want to put into it? Not an easy answer.
Sometimes a certain flavor just isn’t in the card for us. It’s hard not to want to chase that rainbow, but I’d rather just mix something I’m pretty sure I’m going to like.
After getting no coconut out of several brands , I found I can taste INW coconut cookie. But don’t count me in on buying any more/other brands. Money down the drain to me. I can’t make my taste buds behave by wishing it lol

Strawberry is my favorite fruit. Yet it doesn't vape well for me. Raspberry is rather mediocre to me yet it vapes great for me. Go figure.

Chocolate has been like that for me. I love it irl. A lot. Invested wayyy too much in trying to find one I like in vape. Maybe down the road I’ll revisit it. Tastes change over time. But currently, it’s a hard no.

Our power is back on. We loaded up our food and took it to Mom’s freezer. They got their power on at 4 am. As soon as we came back home it was on. So it allowed me to clean the refrigerator and we went back and got everything and now all is well. I think our food will be fine. Now I need to get to work.

I'm with you on the chocolate. Totally addicted to it irl. I know it exists in a vape because it's my ADV and has been my ADV for 8 years. Only problem is none of the chocolate flavors for DIY is working for me. It's out there somewhere and I haven't given up looking for it because it's just too important for me.

I speak for myself. I never told anyone else to avoid it. My conversation was with Fran only because we feel the same about blueberry. Keep it accurate. By your logic, no one should ever say anything bad about any flavor.
If you want private convo's take it to pm.

Oh gawd's, it's you that have also done a massive amount of food buying for your parents too? Yes? I can only hope power is returned ASAP for you. Really feel for you there, yes frozen food can stay that way for a long time, the main thing not to do is open the freezer door, tempting as it may be. I am thinking of you and hope this all works out well with nothing lost. All that going out, getting it, unloading and organising it etc is bloody*y stressful :shock:, not to mention the cost. All the very, very best to you, my fingers and toes are crossed :nun::nun::nun:
Yep. You seem to be in my brain...scary isn’t it. o_O In all seriousness, thank you for your empathy and well wishes. :wub:

Thanks to everyone for the advice and positive thoughts. The storm drama is now over. It was pretty bad around here. We saw lots of debris and trees/limbs down.

Off to work I go.

    Good morning flaorers I feel okay. I have my FMLA request in by email. I sent my sis my policy and procedures and stuff and like my employee handbook,. I feel bad for her but lawyers like, read at triple speed somehow. I mean, after you learn "lawyer language' (WHICH SUCKS I took a SW and the law course and considered a dual major my school had one. it was really interesting but I was like, "I'm not sure I want to spend my life doing custody evaluations in court. Also yeah, IDK. I just sent it all to get it all out of my life. I think my sis is probably gonna tell me to go to the EECOE or whatever it's called if I do anything. I mean, they are NOT going to give me what I ask for, which would include like, written apologies and stuff,. What I would need to not be scared for life would be unfeasible I think. Who knows maybe she will be, "You know, this IS total BS and tell me to go ahead, but it doesn't much matter, if they tell me to pound sand, well, what can I do?

    My supervisor did not respond to me FMLA thing with a "Oh gosh I hope you are doing better" type thing. She has like, been silent. Oh well she has been notified,

    I don't believe they can do much I mean.... You can't fire someone like retroactively with no notice if they asked for FMLA while employed even if sick? I sincerely think not. IDK. Who knows. I do not. I'm just a smidge anxious I guess and like, I feel really not so good but I slept way better and yoga happens today I am also cleaning under the sofa if I can handle it. Not my favorite chore.

    I want to go look at properties in Dragoon but like, gosh, who knows. Maybe later in the week.

    It's just we would have to do this with a personal loan at this point but the thing is, it's not like that much more expensive than rent in Douglas, etc. I will have to talk to my mom and the husband.... LOL found and downloaded the software State Farm uses to improve our claim. So, that should be nice,

    I also want a mango lassi recipe. I an going to check Zazie;'s blog and if I can find one I am going to attempt one, which will begin with figuring out HOW a real Mango lassi is made. I know it is some weird yoghurt type beverage with mango in it which I inhale but well.... IDK.

    I have many mangos it is one of my favorite flavors .I actually like mangos in real life it's just you have to eat them in the bathtub and then bathe right afterward for the true "mango experience."

    Yay, I got my forms! My doc is going to hate me dude I will need an emergency appointment and he is doing all telephone too.

    I do feel an overarching sense of relief, I must say,

    Some optimism. Some.

    I hope you find it. I have a feeling it’s some sort of trinity plus vanilla or something like that I haven’t tried. I may have made a mistake in not trying that, but individually they all were just so wrong for me that I couldn’t see how mixing them together would help.

    Food does not always the same as the vape.

    I think she meant a newcomer might not realize we have side conversations running in the middle of the general discussions. We’re all used to it. I knew you were only speaking to Fran, but people tend to scan threads.
    Thank you Mel. Seems he just want to argue and tries to put a different meaning into something that plainly was not said.

    It's a shame but I've really fought with it way too long. I had a habit of thinking the Bilberry brought out the Blueberry when In fact the Blueberries just suck.

    I went through seven versions of the blueberry cookie recipe I was trying to make. The seventh one was usable and I did go through probably 30-45ml of it but the blueberry flavor never did really wow me.

    I love blueberry. Probably as much as strawberry and lemon in dessert vapes

    So what are your favorite blueberry flavors to use in a recipe? I am willing to try an eighth version of my cookie recipe.

    It sucks we can be blind on our fav stuff. I hope you get to taste chocolate at some point. I like it a lot.

    I believe you are exactly right. It's some kind of combination of flavors that brings the magic out in chocolate. Opinionated posted a recipe for milk chocolate a bit back using some expensive Medicine Man flavor (I know I got that name wrong...don't remember exactly) along with a few other flavors. I wasn't going to pay $25 for a little bottle of chocolate flavoring but I tried a makeshift recipe trying to get as close as possible. Still working on it but I have to say it did surprise me a little. Not there yet but at least worth it to keep working on it for now.
