In actuality, Bronze is always reluctant to say how long something must steep. Why? Because steeping is the same as flavors. It's all subjective. Whenever someone asks me how long to steep something I always qualify it by saying what I do but that it's up to each individual. I've seen way too many opinions that are all over the map. For Raspberry Yogurt I tried mine at 2 weeks and vaping some now that is nearly 6 weeks. I like it at both points in time. However, at 6 weeks it is a toastier flavor. It's more raspberry at two weeks. Clearly, the yogurt moves more to the front as it ages.

That raspberry yoghurt smells divine in the bottle already. I had a small glitch mixing it. I got everything in except the raspberry. It came in small squeeze bottles that were really hard plastic and took a lot of force. I was squeezing them into a 1ml syringe to save the trouble of taking the nozzle off the bottles. I put the first raspberry in OK, then the second one came out the bottle really fast and I got almost twice as much as the recipe wanted. I could have started measuring the raspberry again but I only got 10ml bottles and didn't want to waste it.

I'll probably wait 2 weeks to try it. It should last me long enough to see what it tastes like after 6 weeks.

    It shouldn't make a huge difference. It's still a relatively small amount.

    Good afternoon Fran! I will admit I've been a bad boy - got to looking at new knives and ordered 5! Two are for grandkids ages 19 and 17 and three for me! :thumbs:
    Pretty funny:lol: We're all buying flavors or pv's and you're buying knives.:)

    My order with DIYVaporSupply left MI this morning. I don't expect tracking to update til it hits NH.
    Mine was to be delivered yesterday, then it said delivery late and now it says my package is moving within the system. So it’s getting the scenic route.

    I’m getting worried about my chefs order that shipped in 3/30. Longest they've been is 3 weeks. Trying to be patient.

    Used to be about 1 1/2 weeks. My last one was at the beginning of this virus mess, that was the 3 week one. I’m too cheap to pay for tracking and I understand I could loose out....

    I think I've only ordered from them twice. 1 1/2 sounds right. I didn't get the tracking either. Way way too pricy.

    Where are they sending the checks??

    To the Douglas house. It has been too long to do anything but change permanently. However, since fairly frequently, this kind of thing occurs, they INCLUDE all the paperwork that says, "We have moved here and are renting but because the house is uninhabitable, they have to be sent to this address. The packet he sent return receipt like, contained over 100 forms, to the mortgage company. Like, he tried calling directly a few times to our mortgage "contact" and like, basically talked to someone who gave him the contact email to email someone to look at forms number X, Y, Z etc.

    Kinda reminds me of after my first like, MH stay, our (BCBS they have been masters of this art from long, long ago) well they kept denying a bunch of claims with this odd code. It took me about 4 hours to reach the person who could explain the code. It was a code that said, "We think you may have other insurance." I was like, "Oh... Do you have any evidence to prove as such? Has someone alerted you to another policy perhaps? Because I assure you we don't." The chick was like, "No nothing like that, we just believe you may have other insurance." I was like, "Well, since I cannot prove a negative, I am afraid I am unclear as to what to do." She was like all chirpy, "Well I will give you a phone number and like, you just call and leave a message that you do not have other insurance."

    So I called the number, and it said to press "0" to leave a message. When you did , it hung up on you. I tried a few times, incredulously, and it hung up every time. Then I thought, "BCBS you are not going to defeat me so easily." I just called and kept a random record of the numbers I dialed. I think it might have been 91 I can't remember. However I left my message and like, thought about all the old and severely infirm who may have been defeated by that system as had I called the lady back, she would have given me 91 on my 100th phone call. I hate BCBS and insurance has ONLY gotten worse, that is why I FREAKED out today.

    Anyway had lunch of momentarily to continue the application. I sincerely hope my fave new doc who has been furloughed will give me a reference and he would shut up about too. He worked for a rez for decades and loved it, mostly, just like me. LOL

    Can you request to pick these checks up? There has to be some way to get them. In any case, I hope you can get to NM soon.

    Wonder why we all have the same issue with orders from them? Mine should be here tomorrow after visiting FL

    I'm sorry insurance stuff is complicated. State Farm issues checks to us and our mortgage company to ensure the house gets fixed, and so we HAD the checks (I signed them as the deed holder) and the husband sent this HUGE packet to our mortgage lender for review including contractor estimates, etc. It's just our mortgage lender is a bank, so they LOVE keeping funds as long as they can, because they can generate interest. Etc. So, they have this process where they just keep telling you, "NO even though you filled out the form, you must email THIS person and let them know that form is part of your packet and then the mortgage company will actually examine that form, and then they release just enough of your money that you have to go back and say, "The contractor can't even get started on that amount" and then that takes a while, and finally they say okay, and then they do all these inspections and stuff and well, eventually everyone gets paid and you just want to die.

    It's all a shell game, honestly. I don't know how the husband is staying sane, well LATER much later amigos!
