Random DIY mixing and More

[stols001]

LOL, I handed the husband my thermometer and I was like (timidly I woke him at 3 but he took a good look around the area and said, "you sure did have a rough night didn't you.") He is benig nicer this morning. I was like "Yep, from what I can remember." I took Ambien. More than once, and I'm not sure how many times but like, eventually I was like, "Dude you better stop, that stuff has an upper limit."

So I did pass out at some point. IDK what to do it's so BORING being bolt awake at 3 a.m. I was muttering about like maybe not taking them all. The husband was like, "I am SURE we can get through this." I invited him to stay up playing poker all night but it looked to me that was the type of "getting through" he did not have in mind, man.

I hate steroids. I dropped my thermometer last night and I put it back together and nothing. Gosh if you do anything too much you like get addicted to it. I was like an anorexic without her scale.

I want to do things today and one of them includes yoga. Probably not the best plan but I am all ROIDED up. Also need some things bah. Also need to research things although I am not sure how my next interview will go all roided up like on day four. IDK there has to be SOMETHING to knock me out dude, but I have to email my pdoc because I remembered my appointment is next week. Maybe laudanum? IDK.

In any case, I handed the thermometer. I was like, "I need you to do something for me." He was like, "What." I was like ,"Well I dropped this last night and it all fell apart and I think I put the battery in backwards. But, I can't open it and I'm scared to break it, I mean I may have already but I don't want to break it."

The husband gave me my favorite "I broke it" comeback of all time, he took it and said, "Jesus it's an oxymoron happening right in front of my eyes." I think the oxymoron thing was like a double entendre too, he really won that encounter. He returned it to me fixed, 99.5 Argh.

I give up but like, I didn't have the best night. Maybe I will just have a fever for the rest of my life and adapt, and be like "I am doing my part for global warming." Etc.

Yes. I am doing the same job (and usually less of it, actually) for better pay and benefits. Also, by the time you hit "government" jobs you are like, in it for a "career" like the rest of your life and you get certain retirement benefits that you don't get in the private sector.

Also, it has been my observation in government jobs I have had (not in healthcare exactly) like people don't get up in your grill and there is a clear supervision chain and I plan to get up in that person's good area (I will assess it quickly) and get them to love me from day one, and stay where I am and not be bored, but happy in a job for the rest of my life.

That was what THIS job was supposed to be but you know, well, stuff happens. I'm almost not sorry not after seeing how they handled COVID (and how my healthcare did) and whatnot.

I will probably wind up in the WV job, I have a feeling that is what is going to happen, and like I said, if I got an offer elsewhere it would take a LOT for me to take it. It is in fact accurate that SOME VA jobs in poorer areas have less negotiating room than others and it's not like I couldn't achieve grade ten in about 6 years so as a long term strategy it all works out in the end.

That is my reasoning and I am sticking to it.

Anna

OK, now I understand the reasoning. It's also a big plus that the husband would like it.

I think your temp at the moment matters less than feeling good or at least better for a start.

I just did a sft on Am4A. 50 ml 10%. Kinda tobacco, kinda fruit, kinda something else. I like it!

That's a win

 

[FranC]

When I started mixing my Stixx recipes I went with what Bronze recommended because it was a starting point. He was 7-8%. Now that I've been mixing them for a while I can say my most favorite % for a mix would be 4-5 % for the NET.

It's my favorite tobacco flavor, but I only do it at about 5%.

GOOD Afternoon Mixers!

Hot and windy today! Maybe the grand kids will come over IDK. Anna, you keep posting.

@stols001 Have you tried your Mango Lassi recipe again yet?

 

[Nailz]

Just tested my banana honeycomb custard after a weeks steep, and already is really good, the banana has mellowed down a bit now, so not overpowering it anymore, was going to test it each week for a month, but my wife tried it and loved it, so she has stole the tester bottle, guess need to get scales back out tomorrow and do a bigger bottle.

Also tested the sugar cookie that was posted in here, was surprised, for only 2 flavors, it is really good, see a bigger bottle of that being mixed tomorrow too

 

[ShowMeTwice]

Howdy DIY'ers. Mixed up a big batch of my simple vanillas today.

 

[stols001]

Nope, not freshly. I was planning on it soon, it still SMELLS like lassi. I wish I'd known how strong the green mango is (one on one flavors) (Which is a flavor you would LOVE honestly, it's very tart but tastes like mango. It's also VERY strong I may have to do some dilution and like, well, some adding the rest of the recipe without adding any more sour, it's a bit overpowering. I think I will bathe shortly and I do have some vaping tasks to do and whatnot, I am not good for much requiring brain power. I do need to tame that Brunhilde tank before it attacks me in the night. Heh.

Caramel and licorice is the something I couldn’t put my finger on. And I guess licorice is the “fruit” I was tasting. I don’t taste coffee which is fine by me as me and coffee vapes have had enough of each other lately. This is really unique. Do I taste a touch of honey? That may be the caramel.

I vaped it through detailing the inside of my car. It wasn’t even real bad but that took forever. I have a Toyota rav4 with no leather seats. I miss my leather seats. I miss my heated seats. I had a Chevy trailblazer for over 13 years and that thing was fancy. I loved that car but I thought I’d try a Toyota and the TB was leaking oil and it was having issues. I’ll wash it tomorrow as I’m hot and tired. Whew.

That’s funny . Hope your wife enjoys it.

OMG ,you are funny too but I hope that tank doesn’t attack you. Thanks for the heads up on a tart flavor

Fran, did you mix the yoghurt drink yet? I was thinking about doing that tonight but was having a hard time deciding what fruit to add to it.

I did. I’ll see if I can dig up my recipe to see what I used.

I bought Molinberry's melty caramel a while back. Poured some of my aged vanilla/cream into a 5ml btl and added 6 drops of the caramel today.

It might need help from some other caramels but first I wanted to try it alone in a recipe I know well.

Me being, me lol... could not wait and just had to drip a little. It's tasty but I'll have a much better idea after a week or so.

It sure sounds like it will be good to me! Let us know what the post-steep verdict is.

That would be tasty in rl but too sweet for me to vape.
