It is said that if everyone wore a mask we could beat this and I believe that. I also know it’s never going to happen.
Yep/yep. Humanity flowing in a direction that best serves all, what a concept. Makes sense to me. In action, <<sigh>>. :facepalm:

Morning, mixers.

Some rain overnight, so no watering detail today. :) Did get the grass cut yesterday, and the edging, well, started. 2 1/2 acres of random scattered garden beds is a LOT of weed whacking!! (Hmm, wasn't such a big task 20 years ago, wonder what's changed? ;) )

Seems more around here are masking up, since the Governor ordered them. I made a mess of cloth ones for us (and our kids) early on, and we do use them diligently!

So for custard, cream, cheesecake bases.. is this supposed to be steeped first, and then primary flavors(i.e. a fruit)added later and then steeped some more?

For example on ELR there is this..

They steep the custard base for 4 weeks, then the rhubarb/strawberry is mixed in and steeped for 2 more weeks

All the apple equipment I've had has lasted forever.
That's been my experience with Apple products too. Still have a Mac Plus and a Color Classic and both work. I have a collection of old/new Apple stuff. :D :lol:

-I enjoy my minty fresh aromas,if the grape aroma isn't minty fresh is there like an additive that you can add to the DIY to make it minty fresh? or does the minty fresh count as an aroma?
Don't want the minty fresh like a flavor,more like a fresh inhale,don't know if you know what i mean.

There's a TFA called Koolada that might do what you want. I only have a sample bottle and tried it a couple of times so I'm not an expert. It's supposed to reinforce mint and menthol flavors and give them a bit more of the fresh cool characteristic without boosting the menthol taste.

For me the "Apple book pro?" is it, lasted 7 or 8 years which is a lifetime for me.

Oh I have NO clue what will happen today. Last night was AWFUL I was sleepwalking around and husband was yelling like crazy. I have NO CLUE what I took it but it was probably too much lithium or too much Adderall. Neither option is like...GREAT. I seem to remember being like "I have to take four of these, maybe? Not only that one got wedged in my throat and like, I developed one of those hacking coughs. You know this would have been the husband's moment to be supportive, man. He so wasn't. So I got up and did the huge glass of OJ thing. I don't care I STILL might do it because I feel like death anyway when I woke up. I was just like, "Alarm time."

Ugh. I checked my pulse it is speedy but not dangerous. I took 1/3 of my Adderall this morning so I have a feeling it will be staring vacantly a great deal of the morning going "Why me?" It's not a major problem I mean I have clonidine if I need the psych guy understands my crazy penchants and that should work out fine. But, since it might have been lithium tablets well .We shall see.. It it's the lithium I don' t think I dose tonight I can't remember! Besides, maybe I took TWO pills and thought they were four, that's not impossible when you are sleepwalking, I get super stiumbly . Ugh. BUT--

You do not want to take pills when you are sleep walking. It's the worst idea ever. If it keeps up I am going to like, have the husband allocate me a closet because you JUST can't be doing that. Not eve slightly. I will not be able to work a combination lock, while sleepwalking. Trust me on this.

Have not checked my email yet but like, I am not ready for all that. Too brain dead, more coffee.

Good Morning Mixers!

I plan to sleep since I just got up after just 2 hours of it. Ugh. But I started playing a new video game last night, No Mans Sky, and I'll be playing some of that.

Let us know how that goes. It sounded really cool before it was released but then it got panned for being boring and repetitive. I did hear they made a lot of improvements since then.

    I’ve seen that one before.Too much sweet for me. I like my rhubarb tart. But anyway I’d just mix it all together and steep

    I was just using that as an example. I'd probably just mix it all at once too, 6 weeks is too dang long! I'd maybe give that custard base a try though, for an experiment

    Yep I checked my pulse again, and it was slightly higher than normal although to be fair, it's high enough that getting into a "Danger zone" with this is pretty easy to do.

    The thing I find annoying is like I have had a high one forever and like NO doctor has ever said THING one about it, and it's kind of too high. I really think I might have to cut back on the Adderall bit, maybe. Couldn't hurt. I mean, I know it sucks but I adjust. Eventually.

    Anyway so I took some Clonidine which should help. Just generally. I love that stuff. Docs use it for ADHD (sometimes in combination with lower sitms) and it just makes me feel AWESOME man. I would take it all the time, but ALAS it gives me constipation so.... IDK I could talk to the doc about it. Maybe I would adjust. Because there is seriously something like a warm fuzzy cushion to it where you slow down and focus but CHILL... not all speedy like Adderall and like, IDK maybe I could take even MORE probiotics. Something.

    So I feel mildly better but not normal yet. And if I can do that closet thing once, I can do it again.

    I only ever sleep walk when I am intensely stressed.. I guess I am stressed. I also feel terrible. Gonna check my email at 9 am my time and see what is UP. It's kind of annoying.

    Somewhere between here and there
    That's been my experience with Apple products too. Still have a Mac Plus and a Color Classic and both work. I have a collection of old/new Apple stuff. :D :lol:

    I have a six year old ipad that works but is kinda slow. I also have an ipod with the click wheel that still works but I did replace the battery in it a few years ago. I also have an ipod touch that used to belong to one of the kids that didn't want it once they got an iPhone. Hopefully the MacBook pro will be covered under their keyboard repair program. I just pray that my daughter didn't spill anything on it. If they take it apart and something was spilled then we definitely would have to pay for the repair. Either that or if it's too much then replaced it. I cringe thinking about spending another 1200 on a laptop.

    Well, I checked my email and my doc actually did a good job regarding talking to them about my psych symptoms. They extended my benefit through July 22. So that's kind of relief. I am glad I explained to them his penchant for just writing stuff down he things is 'interesting" and they needed to CALL him because I was100% certain he did no want me to go to work. So I should email a thank you I guess.

    So no answer from credentialing folks OR my HR department sending a copy of the form. IDK. They better send it to me but I'm trying to be like, 24 hours is reasonable because it IS.

    Oy. Oy. I gotta call SSDI at some point today and hassle that worker. I explained to the husband what sleepwalking was and what happened and how yelling and screaming is a bad idea, but like, I guess I was just MOANING in my sleep for 1 hour before I got up (also annoying I'd think, also stress.) He had no idea what was going on and I was like, "I was sleepwalking." I explained what sleepwalking is and how you manage it. I was like, "Also, screaming is bad gentle guidance is reasonable." I also explained we now needed a meds closet with a combination lock on it. He was like, "Why would you take that much medication?" I was like, 'The hell if *I* know, I was sleepwalking." He looked consternated and was like, "Are you going to die." I was like, "Yes, but probably not immediately." I have Clonidine on board, so life is a soft fluffy pillow. I mean, if I don't think about things. I sincerely doubt I am going to like, have much done today. I so wish I could take lees Adderall and more Clonidine. It's so much better for you too... I don't think you can develop tolerance but I just DO not know. Time for some inquires, and in a bit Douglas SSDI. Urp.

    Good morning. It's going to be a scorcher here all week. At least it's only a four day work week with the holiday. I was busy for a while at work but things keep going back and forth from slow to not so slow. I found out last night that the keyboard quit working on my youngest daughter's MacBook pro. We've had it just over a year. I got online and did a chat session with apple and it sounds like it might be covered under some keyboard replacement program they have. I don't know if they had known issues or not. My oldest daughter's mac air lasted almost six years so I was surprised to hear there was a problem with the pro already. All the apple equipment I've had has lasted forever.

    I mixed a lemon custard recipe I found online last night. I know custards need to steep but I really wanted to try it right away.
    Apple is pretty good about fixing known flaws. They did my daughters without question a couple years ago when her keyboard went kaput. I still have my first Apple laptop, circa @2003. It still works, but it’s slow as molasses lol. Makes me appreciate my Pro!
    Vaping through the tale ends of the stash here at the lake. A couple winners in there. A couple that have potential. Just thankful that none are awful since I forgot to pack any unflavored. I have three from our unused flavor “contest”. Cannoli one is sort of muddled, but not bad. Cherry cobbler is surprisingly actually cherry, just not cobbler. Cereal bar with the strawberry and cream is nice, just a little weak. I’m rationing out Fran’s strawberry croissant lol

    So sleepy now man. I can't seem to type, I need to bathe, I need to go to the store but I don't feel like a driver at the moment.

    Maybe I am gonna need a lower dose, my stupid pulse went down 10 miserable points man. I personally think my thyroid does it but goodness who knows.

    I keep trying to email my mom and my sis can't even do itl, having keyboard problems. IDK.

    I have a feeling not mvuh is gonna happen today except maybe yoga once I ACTUALLY wake up.

    Oh, I could ask the husband to go, but you know how that goes.

    Yeah the feeling is more like concrete blocks next to a river like it's not fun and I accomplished nothing yet today. I should just go sleep but I don't' sleep during the day time. Anna

    Okay, I gonna bathe. I mean, I won't drown. It's getting late but holy goodness, I can't deal with my problems today..
