I know me and a flamethrower sound like a terrible idea but well, it also sounds like kinda FUN.

Nah, sounds like a great idea, especially now ;)

Really good on gravel driveways, where a weed whacker would toss rocks. Cook 'em up real good, and you might even kill the roots.

And, again, welcome home :)

I've seen that before but don't recall where. 10 ml flavors don't cost much anyway and if you like some of them, you won't run out as fast. As I recall, the 5 ml sample pack wasn't a great deal anyway.

Yeah i think i was mistaken with the sizes,doubt they were that small.
But someone told me about chefs and i've been looking around and they have a big selection of small 10ml bottles to choose from.

It's just that I'm getting tired of the same flavors,my friend doesn't have much selection when it comes to DIY and even thou i want to buy from him it's kinda screwing up with my taste for vaping.

For this week and the next i still got juice but I'll start adding into the cart and ill place an order soon.

Ah i had a question now that I'm here,take this for example:

Absinthe - Flavor West

Only info that is given is ''Usage Rate'' which I'm guessing is the ratio aroma to PG/VG,but it doesn't say anything about the steeping of said aroma.

Spanish website i use once in a while does give me that info,like this for example:

Shiva - Vapeototal

It's under ''Maceracion'',says from 3 to 5 days but best results when it steeps over 20 days.

So it's kinda weird that the chef website doesn't give out that info,or is it there and i missed it?

LOL I don't know if I am feeling sassy.... I kind of feel pretty gross. I could not get SSDI lady. I left her a message, which means I need to call later today a couple of times.

Somehow, I got it into my head in a sort of, uh, karmic? Superstitious? Yeah that is the better word. I was thinking the cleaner I got the bathroom, the more likely it would be I would leave. I did things to "my" toilet I have never done before (or since I sincerely hope.) I have washed my hands so often I feel like Lady Macbeth. Also it is NO fun looking at the walls and going, "Is that dirt? Or something else? Was it here before me? I can't REMEMBER!" And just going "Arrrgh clean it ALL. Don't think, just do it." That is a relatively small bathroom with annoying finishes, I think the toilet I attacked might have been a former SCHOOL toilet type deal. I don't want to consider THAT either.

So yeah, it's been like an hour and a half, just getting everything clean except the bathtub. I better do it SOON because then I am going to TENS unit my back and like, do some yoga later. I sincerely hope.

Tomorrow I am going down to Tucson to clean the other house. It needs to be done. The husband is finishing up painting the outside as our painters vanished anyway. He also has to 'burn" the bushes. I like offered to help and he was like, SO condescending. He was like, "I would have to teach you how." I was like, "Dude, I'm pretty good at fire." He was all like, "EVERYONE says that but they don't know." I was like, "Um honey YOU burned down the house, remember?" "See what I mean, that's what everyone says." I told him I would YouTube like, "how to burn weeds" and see what I could find out.

He is super cranky and overheated but he has to finish the paint job, the steps (we were gonna pay someone but we can't really afford it.) He is not happy about this. I don't blame him

I am pretty sure I can get the house in excellent shape especially as I will immediately leave it. I don't want to dribble coffee on a brand new carpet, for example. Keeping THIS house clean is hard enough. LOL.

So then I will burn weeds until I'm too tired and be like, "Honey, I am outta here" and he can just stay and finish. Oy, it's unfortunate I may even have to go and get my work boxes without him but we shall see. He is in a super bad mood but I completely don't blame him in the slightest.

I know me and a flamethrower sound like a terrible idea but well, it also sounds like kinda FUN.

Okay I MUST get up and finish this bathroom. Then I bathe, and look up all about how to burn weeds. Plus, BURN them? This seems crazy maybe they are too big to cut down or something. Guess I will be finding OUT.

Missed you Anna,good to see that you are back :)

I am compelled to quote my Mexican dentist story. My mom "had a good one" so she said and she wanted me to visit as it might be cheaper. She helped with my implants. The guy was really hairy. He had hairy hands. He put those hands WITHOUT gloves into my damn MOUTH. He also repeated called me a .... user, which I did not find at all pleasant. Fortunately, he quoted a price easily matched in the US. Because I was NEVER going back. While my mom had her "consult" (I would have been running for the hills after watching MINE) well, I just sat outside yelling at dude (and why are they all dude) merchants (I assume begging me to come visit their emporium.) I just yelled at them loud enough until they fled.

Nogales is vile. I didn't go into a Pharmacia I was scared of what I might fined that was awesome like Tramadol or whatnot.. I HAVE heard there are some legit, US dentists who have across the border practices to boost their US one, but you really need to know what you are doing. I need an upper liner for my denture but for now, I am gonna make my husband do it. He hates it but he does a good job and it lasts the same as any other denture liner for 3 dollars fifty.

So hello everyone. Yes, some jerk was a jerk at me on the internet, and I got upset and regressed to middle school. That doesn't happen often, and actually it was good for me, and who cares really to be HONEST? I remembered why these creatures do what they do and I'm just like, the opposite of love is indifference not hate. So have at it people who may or may not (who knows, who cares) be insulting me behind my back, you just go ahead and keep feeding me your negative energy and I will bloom. Like Daniel Forsythe who LIKED my "I gotta go" post, I assume someone made him remove it.:lol::lol::lol::lol: I swear to God, I have him on ignore so the only way he can get to me is by ratings. Fortunately, I found it deeply amusing. I was like, "Holy goodness that dude could carry a metric ton of grudge across the Sahara desert without breaking a sweat. He's like Hitler but without any balls, I doubt he like is marshalling an army, not even close" So yeah that was funny.

So the husband was in Tucson all week. Hoping this week (he has to paint the front and build the steps soon) we can get it on the market. I am going down next week to clean it. But that should be fine honestly. I've organized and cleaned every square foot of this house, I don't know how I did but I'm also doing yoga so I HURT all over, all the time. But whatever, it will benefit me at some future date, I assume. IDK what is up with my back (well probably I do, lifting too many boxes that were too heavy.) All that is left is like, my bathroom to happen shortly.

They seem to be in a rush to credential me, and my work is being obstructive. I sent the credentialing lady SOME stuff, hopefully they will just give her what she wants without being evil. God knows. I think they are getting close though she rather plaintively sought my help and I was like, "Ugh."

It's been stressful, disability stuff etc., work, paying bills, house OMG. It looks pretty good I think it should sell. IDK.

So yeah, I was in kind of a bad place but really now that I have had time to reflect, it's all good. I don't think a fuss will be made by me in any case. I mean.... So the sun rose like every day and I got trolled by an internet demon which happens every second. Since no human likes everyone, let alone me, well, I am very much of the opinion if there is a secret Anna place of hate, have at it, I could care less. When you send me your hate, you also send energy. So, meh, whatever. I'm glad I visited junior high. It was probably helpful for what is to COME OMG I hope WV. Although we are moving WHEREVER away from here.

So thanks to all of you who reached out via PM it was very kind of you. Sorry this post is so long, although frankly I am DONE apologizing to ECF about what I say or do, although I STILL don't want to go to the shiny thread, even as it's creator. It is filled with too many as:censored:es. Life is too short.

Otherwise well the husband returns today. I gotta figure out some work stuff frankly and go from there man. Like pick up my work stuff which they REMOVED, consolidated, and boxed already. I am not sure how I feel about that, honestly it's my own personal stuff. THEN we put the house on the market and see what happens, man. Ugh. I better get that job offer but what can I do but wait. Pray. Etc.

It could all fall into place perfectly although loading a truck twice, and with all my disabilities up in the air? I gotta call SSDI lady I spent 24 bucks faxing and sending the information.

So nothing all mixey from me I have been consolidating all my real life stuff. I better call her and I am going to do it while cleaning my toilet. I cannot think of a better paring than SSDI and toilet bowl scrubbing.

Later, and thanks to everyone who was cool.
Anna
I’m so happy you are back!!

    Oh boy! The mango recipe I thought would be amazing -- the one with four mangos, lime, marshmallow and strawberry -- is just boring and kinda musky! I'm not getting the luscious juicy tart flavor mango usually brings. I gotta fix this sucker! It was supposed to steep for one day and it has. I did sub one mango and one strawberry, but still! I think it probably needs a longer steep. If the steep doesn't fix it, I'll buy the right strawberry and the mango I had to sub for. Maybe I'll sub a peach for the mango I don't have. Maybe I should just stop worrying about this until a couple more days pass?

    And the peach gummy? Not nearly enough flavor for me. Now that's an easy fix! Yea!!

    I haven't gotten into Mango much yet but maybe too much Mango in your recipe?? Just a guess.

    Do you have a Mango flavor with the luscious juicy tart flavor? I'd be interested in that.

    Good evening mixers. I don’t know if my tastebuds are on strike or what. I don’t taste the orange at all in the sunshine recipe. I get the lime and a faint citrus note. Maybe fruit mixes without a base just aren’t for me.

    Pretty much all my mixes need something for a base. I can’t vape a just fruit recipe even if it tastes pretty good it just isn’t for me.

    When you're done with that burn pile and you're bored with nothing to do, come on over yonder to my dirt pile :D
    When I grew up we had a pool (the above ground kind with metal around and a plastic liner) We had an oval one ( the biggest they made) We decided to bury it partially into the ground. It was so cool... surrounded by grass and only 1 1/2 foot above the ground level. So many good times in that pool but when the metal finally rusted, we had to remove it. So... left with a giant hole in the yard. Got super lucky... someone else was having a built-in pool installed so they gave us the dirt (was happy to get rid of it so even paid the contractor to take it to our backyard)

    Even though I want my blueberry menthol to just taste like blueberry and menthol, adding Sweet cream FW or CAP seems have done the trick ever since I started mixing it. It's so subtle you really can't tell it's there, I could probably even up it.

    Funny you mention that.. we are thinking of getting a stock tank for either a pool or a water feature.. but where do I put my dirt and more dirt? Haha

    It will actually be put to very good use. We are going to turn this crappy dirt into beautiful soil, and for future landscape endeavors
