Oh, I know. I plan to get a case of some kind. I there are some options at Harbor Freight I will probably be using. But it is not a big priority. Unless they decide to ban those on Sept 9th too.
Didn't you know?? Nail polish and all nail polish paraphernalia are being removed from the market on Labor Day.

I know everyone here is familiar with my struggle to get the new WF flavor pack from BCF which took three shipments before I actually received it. When I was putting them in a case yesterday, I realized that there were 21 flavors instead of 22. I didn't get the amaretto that is supposed to be in the flavor pack. BCF is going to hate me. I sent them an email asking why it wasn't included. I'll bet they will just want to give me store credit instead of shipping it. Who knows, maybe it wasn't in the pack they offered.
That order was clearly cursed. Have you offended a witch lately?

    I got a not so nice surprise. I had two pods in my shirt pocket and the top cap on the Xros had come partially loose and leaked the whole pod into my pocket and the inside of the battery. I was able to clean it out and it seems to be fine but it sure was a mess.
    Yuck is all.

    I got my 2 colossals and my 2 kraken rbas from vapor range today. The white is very pretty, a pearly white. I don't have a blacklight to shine on them, so I can't check out that feature. I've got 3 lustros and a magneto on the way. I just bought a Geekvape Gbox squonk from @Uncle. That's it for me for gear. Two liter of 250mg/ml of nic and some glass bottles to store the nic in and I'm done.

    Well 2 ......- er, "techs" showed up but they said the motor in the attic is toast. I don't think it's going to get fixed today and these guys seem pretty clueless.

    Those home appliance insurance policies are really not a good idea for several reasons. They only make a profit by charging you more than you would spend yourself in an average year. Then they maximise their profits by working really hard not to cover you when you have a problem, or just make it so inconvenient and slow that you give up waiting and fix it yourself. And when they do send someone round it's the cheapest losers they can find. You don't get to check the internet to find out who is good.

    Never had one myself but I've known people who did, and I never heard anything good about them. Just horror stories like yours.

    I love my Gbox. I saw @Uncle had it available and almost moved in on it. I hope you like it as much as I like mine. It even has it's own group on Facebook.

    I just got a case from nancy's notions. It was 11.99 and around 5 for shipping. It got here fast. They shipped fedex and believe it or not, fedex didn't lose it. Maybe they only lose small packages.
    I think I am going to get something like this for my flavor storage. I can just store it under my bed and out of the way when not mixing.

    I am going to say "Hello" before I catch up 140 messages DIY is HOT off the presses right now (as it should be.)

    I did not mix I am collapsed on the couch hoping I can do some yoga in a BIT when I get nic'd up and whatnot it was quite a day.

    I am officially intimidated I hope I don't suck although it will be super nice to have a bunch of social workers around. I like my new supervisor he is a big black guy who is a new supervisor. We'll see what happens but I am officially, dehydrated, over trained in one day, not enough NIC at all ever, thirsty but like everyone is super nice.

    The chick who took over my job is training me and climbing the ladder I think. I get my own office with a window. Win.

    So yeah, we will see it's gonna work out alright. Everyone was like super nice. Almost like a lead building screens out telephones ,this one seemed to screen out evil.

    Am exhausted. It's gonna get easier.

    @DLKnives ! The beets are working! I had more energy today and it was HARD. I don't think it was placebo either because I was like, "Meh these suckers are not gonna work!" Beet powder or gummies or whatever--superfood. LOL.; I am going to keep going.:

    Finally took a break from the computer game and caught up on coils and wicks. Maybe do some mixing tonight.

    One good thing about playing games is it stops you watching TV news. I sat at the kitchen table for several hours working on tanks and listening to that USPS crook being questioned by a committee. Total weasel, he didn't answer a single question. And the politicians were a joke. Most of them just made speeches repeating party talking points. You republicans are scum who hate America. No we aren't, it's you democrats are scum who hate America. Etc. And half of the population have fallen for their bull, they believe one party is noble and righteous and the other party are dirtbags. I need to stay in outer space killing pirates.

    thankfully I don't have to do much grocery shopping....a local church donates a bag of food to my door weekly ever since this covid bs started.....
    I have a few different autoimmune disorders, even if I wore a mask it wouldn't really help that much...I have next to no immunity....so I've been cooped up in my house since march and even for shut-in anti-social person, this is getting to be a bit too much for me....I had really hoped things would calm down by now, but nope these people are idiots.....one downside of being the poor family in the rich neighborhood....we're too rich to get sick, so we're not staying inside....
    the numbers here keep raising and last week the apartment manger put notices on everyone's door because there's been cases of it here in the apartments (obviously legally they couldn't say who but they at least warned everyone it's here...because they just let their kids run around and everyone outside since they didn't have work/school, like it's some holiday/vacation)

    but yeah tp, kleenex, napkins/paper towels, and freaking q-tips were hard to come by
    thankfully a friend of mine (former employee) saw a rant on fb I posted because I couldn't get anything ordered online and I can not go into the store itself...so he went out and found some for me and dropped them off

    other than that, yeah it was weird stuff....usually my grocery list doesn't change much....my kids are both picky eaters so I tend to stick to the same things but :glare: due to people stockpiling and buying all the cheap stuff first, made it very difficult to get stuff that my kids would eat. My oldest is autistic and schizophrenic, and is very sensitive to textures and smells while my youngest is just picky and i swear adhd but as of yet can't get the dr to agree....and yeah no, that whole oh they'll eat when they're hungry bit, doesn't work on them...they will make themselves sick before eating something that they don't like (or think that they don't like) :laugh: ug even when they can agree on something it still has to be different....older one likes chicken strips or fingers, younger one only eats chicken nuggets....older one likes fish patties (like the triangle shape), younger one will only eat fish sticks....older one likes eggs to be sunny side up, younger one only eats scrambled or sometimes plain omelettes.... lol I pretty much just became a short order cook and said forget it....

    I skimmed. I have a kodama (or however you spell it) and a couple Minikin 2s. I prefer the hand feel of the Minikin 2s but for everything else the Kodama is like, better .In my opinion. And it's not like it feels horrible in the hand that wedge shape just can't be beat.

    They TRIED with the Minikin 3 and like it's extremely comfortable and you can hold it comfortably in several different ways but it is the ODDEST shape. It looks like a very ugly asteroid that crashed down on earth. It's kind of so ugly it's not worth any vaping improvements.

    This is why I keep a window unit in the shed, if I didn't have one I would ask around to see if any family or friends had one I could borrow.
    We lived in an old apartment for 15 years... only had a "swamp" (evaporative) cooler. If the temps stayed under 100 deg F (and low humidity) we got by but otherwise it was useless. Got a small window AC for the bedroom. At least we could go in the bedroom and be very comfy. It only cost $120 on sale.
