Is that one of those random index doohicky storage-a-callits?
Yes, that's it. :lol: Honestly it's just a tupperware storage bowl with a top you "burp". My mom was a tupperware dealer back in the 70's. :D

Hey, Zazie, I had to look at my notes to refresh the noggin'.

Madagascar vanilla is most like the vanillas we use in the USA for baking. I would try it with Holy Vanilla at 2-2.5% first. My second choice would be CAP French Vanilla. It's supposed to be comparable to FA Madagascar. FA Vanilla Bourbon would make it darker and more earthy but that might be good.

Dreamsicle:

FA Blood Orange 2.5%
FA Royal Orange 2.5%
FA Madagascar Vanilla (vanilla Classic) 2.5% [raise it to 3% if you want more vanilla]
FA Vienna Cream 2%
FLV Cream 6-8 drops (it's strong) to thicken + fuller mouthfeel

If you want even more vanilla flavor add 1-1.5% INW Shisha Vanilla (yummy).
If you take out the 6-8 drops of FLV cream, this is HIC's Creamsicle recipe. I vaped it a few years ago. Good Stuff!

At work they wanted folks to reuse the same mask. I know they have enough for me. I was told I would get a new one each day since I'm high risk.

If I had the issues you do (and mine are a lot lower risk) I'm not sure I could be paid a MILLION dollars to enter a short term rehab/nursing facility. Employers lie in these situations. I was told I was going to get moved to the "well child clinic" because my risk would be lower and I would see everyone "in person." I was like, "I think you are not quite sane, do you not realize these people are INCUBATING?" But I went, because I was promised "proper precautions" and I was not aware that was going to be a paper bag and one paper mask to repeatedly shove in and out. I figured like, well, have not been sick in years, and while I could have done without the COVID, I didn't think I would DIE.

I still don't think it's gonna kill me but I for SURE could have done with the last five weeks, and it's been horribly expensive. But, after the way I was treated (my supervisor was quite angry I was so "successful" and wrote me up for a bogus complaint, it was not until then that I went "I am DONE here," because I could see it was going to be never ending. She accused me of "stealing patients" and I said, "Which ones were those exactly? I don't recall being assigned a back up person AT ALL." She did not like (for the good of the MEDICAL ASSITANTS I was killing myself and I was, 60 hour weeks with notes) who had their hours CUT horribly she just didn't like her little problem child who knew more about management law than her, being successful. That sort of well, made the whole "Oooh honey shall we move again?" easier. I must say, I was disgusted with her, and many others are also, she is down from 10 staff members to six. Of course it's "all their fault" (some walked OFF the job) so she won't get fired.

I will never place myself in such a limited employment situation again, but for the love of all that is holy DO NOT jeopardize your health. You can't afford to, I thought I was in pretty good shape, and I wasn't, not nearly as much as I believed. I have never been this sick, for this long, and this horribly.

PLEASE get your doc to write a letter to DCF. By the time we move out of here (likely not) I may well be on food stamps, but I am not proud. You have nothing to lose pride wise, if you ask me, but you do have a LIFE to lose, and while I still believe for most this thing is.... very unpleasant, sort of bad, not bad at all but you are being treated for your IMMMUNE system. I think you have probably been careful indeed and likely not exposed, but focus MORE on insurance you can GET and less on getting repeatedly tested. The tests don't even have all that reasonable accuracy rate. STAY OUT OF the death camps.

Yoga was weird. I would like Winnie the Pooh to get unstuck from his hole someday. Nothing hurt, but I had to chill and keep remembering I weighted myself and all the meals I had the past three days. I chilled the husband's anxiety out after that by doing the thing with dudes that chills them out the most. Mine anyway. It's like a jillion benzos. I pat me on the back for my ah, chillsome personality.

I have the One Laxative to Rule them All, but it's unpredictable and well, who knows about timing. That would not be a good event during a job interview I am not entirely prepared for. But AFTER the interview I am downing a few. Haven't had to take any of THEM since the end of Suboxone maintenance and I must say, I don't miss them.

Yep, I had that in my original post in the Shiny thread from my notes. And it is real good. :)
I have quite a few of HIC's store recipes. I've been thinking about sharing them, but I'm not sure about the DIY ethics. HIC disappeared without a trace from the other forum about a year and a half ago, and his website has been down for well over a year as well. What do you think, is it poor form to share some of them? Input from others appreciated as well.

Honestly I don't know what to tell you. He was a good guy. Always very helpful. Wonder what happened to him. His original recipes posted over there helped many folks with DIY. His FA flavor notes were awesome.

I do not need my cigarettes to taste great in order for me to enjoy them. I merely need to light the correct end, and all is well. I mean, I smoked Basics in college, and like, not a short time either like a year. Their slogan is "Basics, the mm mmmmm good taste of heavy metals."

Although couldn't hurt I guess. I don't actually know if I have enough freezer space for a pack of cigarettes, I truly am an "emergency smoker." I don't think I could go back. Every time I smoke one now I am tormented by thoughts like, "You know how things taste now." "You are super hot now." Health doesn't ah, really enter into it, I truly believe that with all the cigarettes that came before, like, an emergency cigarette or two a year will NOT be the one that kills you.

Of course, you never know! If it's dried out enough, it could blow up in your face! Like the Benson and Hedges STILL in my car (soft pack) and elderly they HAD to be 3 years old. It must have been an emergency where they had not better brands because I always assume they will taste great like their English counterparts etc. I did not smoke one (I did take one out and it was in sorry shape) but you never know when "Bribe a homeless person" could come in handy, especially with me and cars. Like, I bet the right homeless person could be convinced, spectacularly, to drive his shopping cart into the car I just hit, especially if I pointed out ways it might not be his fault, and he could sue. You know. Well, I mean, I wouldn't do that nowadays, that sounds wrong on ALL levels.

That brings me back to the "lighting the right end." I used to have slogans for people based on what they smoked, Like, "Marlboro reds, curtains will match the drapes but also, watch out for a live possum." Marlboro lights smokers "Not to be trusted." IDK why it was, it was. I was a ML smoker for quite some time in my riotous days. It is IMPOSSIBLE not to light the wrong end when you are WASTE and it SUCKS SO MUCH. It's like they are punishing you for being a lights smoker, dude, and if it's the last one, well, you become a filter less cigarette smoker, and that meant the cops could come find the still you had built underneath like the school's tower and it was INSTANT you could be arrested like that. You had to really weigh your options: Smoke the toasted filter, inhaling whatever it was made of, or be accused of moonshining.

Vaping: Less complicated.

    IDK. I’ve never actually mixed any of his recipes. All I saw were too sweet for my tastes. However I know a lot of folks would love to see more of his recipes.

    Good morning mixers. I'm back to work today. I should have some vape mail in the box when I get home. I bought a mod off the classifieds that looked interesting. It was cheap so no harm done if I don't like it.

    Oh waking up for my interview. It's way early here. I know I will be more awake in an hour, but I just don't feel like marketing me today.... Not in el mood.

    All will be well I suppose. I am proud of my vaping accomplishments yesterday and I have other things to do, but like, IDK I need to worry about this one first.

    Thanks. I have a half hour and then I need to get in gear (dentures, wake up, etc.) but I am still not feeling it. Kinda nervous on this one but I don't think it is the correct one. I will visualize the kid being 1.5 hours away but that doesn't really help with interview answers.

    I knew it would be rough with like, the time zone difference, eh. But I just put in my dentures, go me.

    I will let you know how it transpires. I really will.

    Anna

    I really hope it works out for you.

    Vaping since 8/9/2012
    I had no idea I was getting sunburned yesterday but my back is on fire. I guess it was the fact I was bent over washing my car and my back was straight with the sun. I mean I cut grass all the time and never get burned but I did wear a skimpier top yesterday so my back was exposed more.

    I got my Boost up and running. I like it and it puts out a lot of vapor for a pod. I'm glad I bought it. It feels good in my hand. I can see me taking this one to work. It's just hard seeing the juice level as the pod is dark.

    Speaking of which, I still don't know my start date back to work. I did all the required training tests and health checkers this morning. I'm guessing it won't be this week so I'm thinking next Monday but I still have no clue. I wish they would tell us.

    I liked my boost until it stopped working, hoping it was a fluke. I liked it so much that I ordered another one. Due to the turmoil across the country, I have my doubts about getting it.
