    Indeed! I was being sarcastic which isn't always conveyed so clearly in text form, and trying to imagine myself drinking 6 gallons of milk which would be totally absurd for me!

    Funny story time.

    When I was 14 I weighed about 80lbs soaking wet and was about 5'4" tall. I simply wanted to grow into my feet, which at the time was a size 12 men's shoe. (Don't laugh) I saw a Charles Atlas weight gain and work out routine in the back of a comic book and sent off for it. (stop laughing)

    The diet plan was painful, but I did it for a whole year. It involved 3 square meals a day, along with 3 "snacks". The snacks were basically small meals themselves-- 2 sandwiches of your choice of either ham & cheese or peanut butter and jelly. Between each of these 6 meals you had to drink 2 glasses of milk. I would drink over a gallon a day.

    After a year I weighed about 85 lbs. and I quit the diet in frustration.

    My 10th grade Summer I broke my neck racing motocross and spent about 5 months in the hospital. Went in at 5'4" tall and walked out at 5'10" with no help from Charles Atlas.

    Oooh… the hobbit husband was fully grown when he broke his neck. He LOST an inch and a half in height but like, he actually pulverized two vertebrae. So he was also there for 18 months. His scars are impressive.

    He does not have short man's syndrome however, what he lacks in height he makes up for with muscle mass and ferocity. LOL. That dude can do crazy cap I can't even imagine doing but he's pretty much in pain 24-7. There is not a ton he can do he won't even take Advil because he's like, if I can't feel it I will injure myself more. The fusion may have slipped somewhat but neither he nor I are quite sure whether it's a good idea to open it up exactly. I don't know how people cope with that kind of pain, but he says he copes by 'thinking of going to sleep at the end of the day." IDK I guess he's not maimed in his dreams, especially given our vivid super hero status. LOL maybe it's just as well he did it.

    He also, as a youth challenged God to hit him with LIGHTNING to prove God's existence. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED and he STILL did not get the hint,, LOL.

    I guess if you get hit in the head with lightning well, you like aren't thinking so straight for a while.

    Similar thing happened to a friend of my son. Age 12 he had a huge growth spurt from the knees down. Enormous feet. He could hardly walk for a while because his knees were so messed up. He wore braces for a while. Docs wanted to do surgery on his knees but that never happened, by 15 the rest of his body had caught up and he was fine.

    I’ve accomplished nothing so far. I’m going to at least go mix a couple samples of lime yoghurt drink.
    Both lemon and lime are out for me. I have tried to vape lemon again but it’s a no no. I really need to try lime again sometime. If I get brave I may do a lime Yoghurt Drink too.

    So what happened with all the flavors you used to like but don't any more? Happened to me a few times, like with tobacco and coffee flavors. I loved honey tobacco, now I can't stand it. One of my favorites was Earl Grey with honey. Now it makes me gag. Without the honey I can vape it but it's just tame. There are other flavors I don't use any more, they aren't unpleasant but I just don't enjoy them. Never did figure out the reason.

    I did two. One with FA cold pressed and Flv lime. The second with FA and lime cordial. I also did sft of mb lemonade and snake fruit. I’ve been so busy with reviews that I hadn’t done any new mixing.

    50ml of Devil's Food Cake, Caramel Surprise, Vanilla Delight and Eclair so far.
    Thinking 50ml of Samoa Cookie, Peanut Butter Delight and ButterMel should hold me over for months.
    Do you mind sharing the Peanut Butter Delight recipe? I've mixed a few of your recipes and enjoyed them a lot.

    I’m trying the yogurt drink with the fa and Flv lime. I know the yogurt probably needs a steep but wanted to get an initial feel for both of them on the shake. That way I can quickly figure out which direction I want to head if at all.

    For the most part I overdid them and my tastebuds gave me a big NO. For most it’s not that I dislike them and more that I just can’t vape them anymore. Even though I kinda could say I like the taste of lemon vapes I just can not vape lemon at all. Just a little taste of it is a total turn off.

    Sigh. Time to get moving soon. I got the husband to agree to some of the back boxes but he is an evil mood. As I am working up the strength to bathe and start cleaning more, he is working up the strength to mow the lawn.

    There's something about yardwork in a rental property that is somewhat depressing but I do get it. I hate the smell entirely so attacking stuff with cleanser should help. Maybe I will clean a bit first as I will be getting ALL sorts of dirty. Oy.

    I try to stop when I'm approaching the "too much" mark with a mix I really love Have not vaped peaches and cream or forest fruit crème brulee in months.

    You should. I love creamy lime vapes. I used to buy expensive creamy citrus eliquids from Ahlusion, now I make my own and love them.

    You may like Hic's lemon custard:
    2% FA Custard
    1% FA Lemon Sicily (or Lime Tahiti)

    I also like to just mix Lime Tahiti/Lemon Sicily (1-2%) with a bit of FA Fresh Cream and FA Vanilla Classic or FA Vienna for some sweetness. I mix very low, so my recipes may not be to your liking, but I prefer little flavor. Or unflavored. :)

    I love Ahlusion juices too! I'm going to try that Lemon Custard! Have you ever tried the same recipe with lime?

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain

    My 10th grade Summer I broke my neck racing motocross and spent about 5 months in the hospital. Went in at 5'4" tall and walked out at 5'10" with no help from Charles Atlas.
    When my son was 14-15 he jumped up to 6'2,, he was always skinny but now he was 6'2 & 145 with his football gear on!

    I was practically force feeding him creatine(sp) ,, junk food,, any food,,, nothing was gaining him weight. Marine Corp created 220 all muscle.


    About that time we moved from the city to the country,, I was watching his football practice,, saw the coach pull him aside and talk to him.... Later driving home I asked what the coach said to him.. coach asked him if he was going to be ok,, cuz all the other boys were husky farm fed,,, ,,,, and what did you say?? Yeah,, fear!,, I just have to catch the ball and run! We never paid much attention to his running data..... Later, he blew out his knees trying to impress girls on his rollerblades... Then he joined the Marine Corp ,,, should have gone straight to Iraq,,, but they kept sending him around America running at dif bases for a year +. - thankful.

    I think we have similar tastes... love Mango and also like Coconut too. I am so wanting to try (FLV) Mango.
    There is a pre-made juice (Vape Kitchens Thai Mango sticky rice... haven't tried it but it's on sale so going to get some and then try to clone it)

    I've never had the Vape Kitchen Thai Mango Sticky Rice but I hear it is fantastic.
