    I DO! I have had decades where I have liked dying a lot. LOL. Too bad (I mean good thing) I had a kid who needed feeding and watering. Plus, your parent suicides it puts you at epic risk of like doing the same. My sweet kiddo was ADHD as all get out (possibly more due to trauma he sees to have outgrown it unlike me, LOL) but he is NOT bipolar. He took like 16 hits of acid together and came out of it more or less FINE rather rapidly. Why give him permanent depression seems unfair? So yeah.

    Oh my I had two vape successes! First my "Mango lassi #1 is so much better! It still needs steeping but it is vapable now. I think that extra tiny bit of nutmeg plus bumping down the green mango is gonna be SWEET. When I decipher my scrawls I will post the recipe but I warn you it is a PITA.

    I decided by sniffing which one to try. But then I was like "You need stress relief master the dang Brunhilde man, before it kills you.." I put it on my steampunk nano TUBE I had to (I got the SS) in both,, they look born for each other. I will post a pic soon. Right now I have it corralled in its own little cage area, because the husband's drill needs to charge and he doesn't have bits. Maybe a pic later. It can't fall over. For tesla cigs, it is remarkably fragile at least the FIRST one was.

    I just realized I am still within the expedited reinstatement period for returning to SSDI and like, no medical review. This is intensely relieving actually because it will start from my last missed work day and like, I get health insurance immediately. Thank God. We will definitely be able to move and I can resign after my last day of FMLA runs out. I do not think I will do a giant FU actually, as I don't need or want to and who knows when or if like I decide to sue. Probably never, I'm just not sue happy although never has a job cost me more in lifepoints and money, probably oh well.

    So yeah, the Brunhiilde, I was somewhat skeptical as I hate top decks and I was all like 'IDK" but I coiled it and wicked it (I watched Phil he seems to be the most dependable) and it Is GOOD. It does just have that annoying "Mystery decide on the airhole below the deck but I just went with the largest one I am a very airy MTL vaper. But, it is GOOD. I am shocked.

    The only thing I dislike about it is that dang side hole fill thing. It is not large enough and it is messy. It is definitely my favorite one shot I found, only like, IDK it either tastes totally different in top deck atomizers or it needs to steep more IDK.

    This is the first top deck atomizer I have not hated.

    I am taking a break for now, then a bit of research, not that much (the husband has really been a mess he's getting me all freaked out and horrible.)

    So yes, yeah, blah blah we shall see how all things go but I think I will feel relief. I had to tell the husband to leave he was making me HORRIFICALLY anxious.

    I totally get he's like, "Oh man she is going to leave me behind to do "all the tasks' but like I don't know what else to do. I mean, man I am CHOOSING WV for him (although I like it too) over being near my KID. I mean I think it WILL be better but like holy goodness I do not know how much more of an apology I can give him. Dude.

    When he is calmer you should try to have a conversation with him. You can hopefully point out to him is it’s the place he wants you to accept. Also if he has a better way to go about things he should share such way with you.

    Has anyone tried the WF SC Pistachio Cream? Trying to put a small order together at DIYVaporSupply.

    I've got some but I've never used it. I read that it's good. I think I remember reading that people felt like it had a nutty taste, but it wasn't necessarily a pistachio taste. I remember thinking I should buy another couple of pistachio flavors to add to it whenever I get around to mixing it.

    This seems so wrong to me. Surely it used to be cooler than that in New Hampshire? But then a friend of mine who lives in Vermont is always telling me about the sweltering summer weather there.

    I'm so grateful it remains pretty cool here. Still, the temperature is rising. The water keeps it down, but it's getting hotter, too. A lot of the lobsters have already emigrated to Canada.

    That reminds me of @barkfunklerbunk, although his catch is different. I wonder if he got a cat.
    Yeah a 3 day hot spell is very odd for May.

    I already have a pistachio flavor I can add.

    I cleaned up this whole crapola 'cause Just Wow you guys.
    Well.. that explains it (was wondering what the heck was going on) I thought maybe the "clean-up was a new thing to reduce the virus discussion but now I see people may have got hot headed and personal (I try my best to avoid that... and the few times I have posted after one too many beers, I tend to come back and delete the posts) Stay cool folks... lots of drama in this world right now (I think it rubs off on all of us)

    Posts like this make me realise how feeble my taste buds are. Like I've tried using various vanilla flavors and I really can't tell any difference. I generally throw some French vanilla and sweet cream or graham cracker in everything. I tried different amounts of them but it didn't seem to matter.

    There are some flavors that really come through for me, like marzipan and ginger. That makes me think it's more complicated than just weak taste buds. I can't taste strawberry at all, that one is true for a lot of people. Fruit did nothing for me for a long time, they all seemed weak and tasteless, but now I'm starting to use a lot of fruit flavors. Especially Mango and Papaya. Part of the story is taste buds recovering from smoking but it's been 6 years for me so I should be past that by now. Maybe an expert in how taste buds work could explain it.
    I have that issue too... sometimes have to mix higher % but then days later my taste buds work again and end up diluting everything. Hate to admit it, but have slipped back into smoking again... totally fried my taste buds (I hate myself :( )

    Had to look up Skyrim. I am not at all up-to-date w/current video games. My last craze was with the old games that required tokens or coins at an arcade place. Think PacMan era give or take a few yrs. :eek:

    With today's games I would be very bedazzled with the graphics. Hence I would lose real fast. :lol:

    Skyrim is a great classic game and it's old by todays standards - 2012 I think it came out. But yeah you're talking Donkey Kong OG gamer like me!

    Whats he planning to do with it minus drill bits?

    He was not planning to do anything with it. Every time he goes to Tucson he collects some of his tools (like 2 sheds worth) and brings them here, so we can load up the gigantic container that will ship all our belongings... wherever. You NEVER do maintenance on a rental is my approach. Sure a bit of Drano if needed now and then but NO WORK. That's part of what you pay for.

    Do remember the poor husband had TRANSFORMED the home into what is called a "craftsman" home and was almost done. He has lots of tools. He has a CEMENT mixer. He came up to take care of ME after my work jerked me over on my thyroid and then gave me Acute stress disorder from the unwarranted "HIPPA complaint" which gave me 3 days of amnesia and made it hard for me to do things like set my alarm clock consistently for about two months, so he came up to make sure I did not get fired.

    So yeah, I don't blame him for not having the drill bits and I FEEL terrible about what happened, if he had been there when the leak happened, well, it would have been shut off immediately and our house would be worth about twice what it is now. Not to mention ALL the ensuing insurance MADNESS. I feel TERRIBLE about it. So, ah, tools are a bit of a sore spot with me. When I saw the house gutted in Tucson and the SMALL remainder of what the husband had done, I cried.

    You have to understand he was an engineer/architect but his two grandfathers were carpenters. Yes he reviewed drawings of the Washington monument and caught an error in the scaffolding that stopped it from collapsing but when he was about 5, he got given a set of tools by his grandfathers and told he could build a house from that, and they taught him how.

    The demo guys (they were custom homes guys) looked at his work and said "We cannot possibly replace this. We will save what we can." They also asked him how he DID a lot of crap because they had no idea how.

    Tools. sorry, bit of a sore subject with me. He has broken his neck twice that work was not EASY.

    To cheer up, check out the BRUNHILDE on the Steampunk tube. Inspired pairing.
