hm not bad....needs something...maybe cola or fizz

fw sassafras 4.5%
tfa root beer 4.5%
tfa sweet cream 2.5%
tfa wintergreen .5%

[edit] maybe even a touch of licorice.....
That sounds good. Maybe some vanilla cream (vaniila swirl?) but I like licorice so could easily go that way too.
No cola (that would be like adding cola to a real root beer... why?)

Poor dogs and fireworks. They started them off the home growns early this year, and the dog is a fan of neither the sounds nor the sights. He almost did not poop or pee for like 9 hours straight.

Yeah it had our dog a nervous wreck. He's a German Shepherd and like most of them he has a sensitive stomach, so any time he gets nervous we usually have issues. He wanted to stay in our bedroom last night so we moved his bed into our room. At about 3 am I heard what sounded like a gush of flooding liquid hitting the bedroom floor, and I knew what it was. It was him expelling his bowels in a violent way. My wife luckily heard it too, "Frrrrruuuuuuuuuuuckkk" I heard her say, he was on her side of the room.

She doesn't know it but I may tell her around Christmas time that I heard it all too... I just pretended to sleep through it.

My mother and I heard a really loud one at 10 am saturday... I should have expected it (they have been doing them in the evening for days) we both almost had a heart attack (not a figure of speech... we were both shaking) It can really freak the dogs out (her 16 year old cat was not happy either) 9:00 pm and not a sound?

So I didn't do my SFTs today (but did read the manual on the scale... a few things I didn't know)
LB (liquid barn) White chocolate peppermint sounds very sweet and mint (menthol) forward. That's OK, I have (WF) Chocolate chunks, (FA) cocoa and (PUR) Butter mint... they should all play well together (will post the final recipe later) Would have mixed my SFTs but got distracted by mother and then nephew needed me to watch the kid for awhile (it's all good... do what you can for family) but my days off (week-ends) are never days off... someone always needs my help.

I was thinking just a touch of River Supply Cola Freeze would help bring out some of the pop flavor more :blink:

can't find my diyfs licorice, found my tfa red licorice

i'm thinking licorice would help, not too sure about red licorice though...

9:23. All packed up but Oh my I just realized I did not make the coffee for tomorrow glad I found that out. The husband was all like, "We should bring the coffee urn." I just looked at him and said, "If you can plug it in with an extension cord so it's on the front steps. He was like, "But why?" I was like, "Dood I am here to make this house clean, not dirty C'mon." I think it is coming. I finally got some expresso roast coffee at Walmart so our coffee tastes more real again. You start buying the rotgut stuff which is fine with me, if you shove some expresso ROAST (not grind) I found out the hard way, it works.

I discovered my Very Favorite Of All Time Sweater, that is made of (I hope not felted but it might be, I think it only looked that way once the husband like, discovered that a hot dryer is very, very bad for wool.

I could never bring me to like throw it out because as I did not tell him, it is one of the items of clothing you find that you realize are one of your heaven costume and you buy it, no matter what, and it is YOU. So it was like this 100% awesome floor length black wool sweater from Needless Markup and I think I got it for like 60% OFF for 150 bucks because it has all these small but excellent holes in it, and well, I could never throw it out but I was also like "No way will I ever try to fix it, I will FAIL." Only then I read up and it's actually unusually easy man, but like, I didn't really have the tools I needed so stretching it in all directions equally was a challenge-- that I was UP TO I am halfway through so I re-stretched hopefully not too much because I don't want to look like Kathy Bates in heaven, either.

I'm tired. I am gonna like go make the coffee before I forget. If the husband does this to me again tomorrow.... I will do absolutely nothing honestly because WHAT CAN I DO? I mean like, we seem to be getting stuff done in like either order and well, I guess it doesn't matter. I'm going to refuse to go clean contractor poop off my abode because then no one will pay that much for it? I don't think so. I mean, there are useful grudges, and yes, useful revelations to trot out before Christmas.
Etc.

Anna.

I also saw my biggest spider yet in AZ that was not a tarantula. One of the ones that had a horrible bulbous body. This is what happens when you shift stuff around, like spiders living all happy in the garage well suddenly end up on top of your yoga mat. You think, "I want to die' but then you realize death might be home alone with 500 of those things so you scream and the husband comes and tries to describe it and finally says, "Well, it was easy to kill." You think, gloomily, "I bet what that means was, "It was easy to kill before it killed my beautiful wife because its HUGE body is 99% venin." Or whatever.

Summer in AZ is the suck, it really is. I realize this is true many other places but GAH.

I have not see one roach since moving to Arkansas. That alone may add 5 years to my life, seeing I have an irrational fear of roaches. Spiders are cool... My mother who had a lot of hillbilly myths and wives tales she believed in use to say if you kill a spider it will rain for a week.. I hope you guys have a good roof.

    Good morning mixers. First day back after a three day weekend always sucks. Not to mention we have a guy on vacation all week. Now that I'm done with reviews for now, I mixed up new batches of my regular 12mg ry4 cream and LMN# and switched back to my beloved zeus single coil rtas. I had to use 6mg on the two freemax kits I was testing. I usually don't run that high of output and so much airflow but it was fun to test. I think there might be more samples on the way soon but for now I'm taking a break. It was just a lot of devices in a short period of time from different companies.

    The white chocolate peppermint is way too sweet.

    I heard a few small fireworks last night about 9:30 but none of the big stuff. There were some people complaining on Nextdoor in our area about how late they ran on the 4th. There was this one guy that was getting really out of hand calling the poster some pretty mean names. I hope someone reported him.

    I hope you guys have a good roof.

    Spiders are okay and left alone under a certain size.; We just replaced our roof although we DO need it to not rain to finish some outside stuff, so meh. I don't believe in that old wife's tale stuff any more than I do, say, witchcraft which DOES not exist in my world and that works out fine.

    A large roach can be far more terrifying than a small spider depending. If you gots you a brown recluse on your hands, it should be dispatched. Otherwise a roach can be scarier. It's the way roaches... scuttle. I mean it's like they KNOW they got places to GO.

    These comparative analyses are so fun, LOL.
