Random DIY mixing and More

Yeah about the only thing I’m giving serious consideration is a few more z coils.

Again, FWIW, innokin is submitting their PMTA. Just don't quote me. I think that with Phil and Dimitris on board, at least some innokin products will be available for another year.

 

[Redbird11]

I'm the same way. Mostly.

I'm pretty much done shopping. I'll get some more nic, perhaps, on Labor Day. Batteries and stuff I'm not worried about.

Are you expecting nicotine sales on Labor Day?

Oh man I had to skim rapidly it's gonna be like this for a while with deeming, etc. I mean, like, yeah. So, I will be skimming but consider yourselves liked, loved, sympathized etc.

I had a pretty good day for dropping my dang Adderall on the floor this morning I should probably not do that but the husband called with pectoral evidence and that helped. Mainly in the sense of like taking my next dose immediately.

You know, I had a great day at work it was tons of fun, sounds like things are shaping up fine for me but the dang day like, I understand the VA system... Forget it. LOL. I mean, Clarksburg is a small VA too, kinda, thankfully. But all is going well there.

Came home, yoga, ate, and my DREAD next door neighbor like, I am afraid I may have set the husband an impossible task because like, she is from Pakistan and her husband decided to take a job in NY and return only on weekends but SHE chose to stay here on her own.

I think that is a culture where like, it's this mutual system of "offerings" and uh, sense of entitlement to ask stuff and I HATE those cultures. You would think a social worker would be all culturally aware and into it, but I am SO SO SO not. I have lived alone (with varying degrees of success) before moving and yeah there were times it was pretty dicey but I will take dicey and ALONE over this intricate web of like, mutual shared obligation.

I mean, she offered to cut my hair, I was like "Only if you allow me to pay you, she said yes, then she said no, and like FUUUUU so I was like, "Crap." So she noted my ah, back brace and said she could not find one and like I was like, "Okay, I will get her one OBLIGATION OVER and go see her at her salon next time."

ONLY then she wanted to pay for it and I was like, "NOPE" and then she wanted help moving mattresses to the dump by asking "if we wanted them" and no we did not want them so we took them to the dump for her.

Since I would not accept money like, she loaded me down with clothing I DIDI NOT WANT and DID NOT FIND attractive but like she kept SHOVING it at me and saying my clothes were "bad."

I was like, "These are my at home clothes and moving clothes and yes, they are very, very bad for a reason, I like them that way they are comfortable and I can get them dirty and NO ARGHHHHHHHHHH." Then she asked me to have MY husband come fix HER cable which he got pissy about and I was like "THIS IS WHY I NEED ACREAGE."

I am not an apartment person because frankly, YEAH I get paid for that but that is a SECURE Transaction and I help people all day and I am nice to my coworkers which is kinda easy and well. I can't come home ARGUING with someone about how NO my feet ARE SIZE 8.5 NO your 7.5 boots will a) not fit me b) if given the choice between used boots and used underwear..... it would be TOUGH. And it's just INESCAPABLE and every time I hear a knock now I like wince and want to die and today she wanted me to eat chickpeas ,fried goat and like, "only a little bit spicy" and she shoved it at me until the alternative was to drop it, and like I was like "I cannot eat that" "Put it in your fridge try it later." "OMG what is IN it I have food allergies and I eat NO spice.' "Did my husband fix your internet yet.?" "No." I am going to kill myself.

It sounds horrible but it kind of isn't and the husband is like, over there explaining. It did not work. She is Muslim though and that will help me deal with her next time because I have TONS of Sufism under my belt and like, she will learn about Heesus. LOL. I will explain some fundamental differences and how that involves sharing not gifts or items and time spent together. Etc. I mean I would have NO PROBLEM hanging out with this chick (I am sure she is lonely) but I am NOT asking my husband to do things constantly she needs to ask if she wants and I don't want STUFF that obligates me into the NEXT interaction.

For one It is HALFWAY through my first week of work. This woman has been up in my grill EVERY day . I just don't have the energy. NOT even close.

But knowing she is a Muslim well, I am going to talk to my mom she can give me some relevant Ramadan statutes or verses or whatever and I can explain what *I* believe which is like, I will share time and enjoy it as long as I don't have to constantly give away and receive crud.

But after today it would have been EASIER to talk to a goat than EAT it, although I am happy the goat is freaking DEAD.

Yeah I probably suck but this is why I don't want to live in town. I am such a misanthrope, but only if I feel TRAPPED. GAH.

I’m sure you are dealing with your neighbor much better than I would.

Been trying to post this for the last 20 minutes. Windows 10 and its updates!

These 3 messages don't sound good at all, especially #1. I hope everyone evacuated and took their "critters" with them. I guess there's no hope for critters in the wild and/or on their own though.

HURRICANE LAURA

Yeah that 15+ ft surge is going to be bad and go far inland flooding all the waterways.

Here are a couple of reviews showing the Colossal operation

It's interesting watching the different reviewers...I live Mike Vapes, Vic, Grimm and Matt but watch others. I will admit DSLsub (something like that) is very thorough... also measures everything. Rip trip is "wired" or something and Jai Haze is a "drama queen" but I watch them all to get different opinions. Oh yea... and that Aussi guy (tattoos and curses a lot) but fun to watch.

I know how you feel... went through fire evacuation up in the mountains (hard enough on me but I did think about all the wildlife and it's very sad to think about.

Now I understand the major dysfunction I mean it's "mulm" but she is also "Bored" well I can sit her down and be like YEAH I know about Muslimism and all that but like this is HERE and if you are still BORED after 30 years you don't know why people don't answer the door. So pick one because otherwise, just know that I will not be answering the door from now on. Even though you gave me the best haircut of my entire life.

yeah I don't think I'll be using paypal ever again
ok I can understand the opps our bad, sorry your account was hacked, let's put a hold on the account until we can get verification....but 28 hours of "the name and email address doesn't match so go screw yourself" attitude was ridiculous
I had to threaten with legal action to get them to even put a hold on the account (if they actually even did that)

PayPal is great until you have a problem, I used to work for an international company and they paid me through PayPal so essentially PayPal was my bank.

For work I used a VPN which would appear my location changed everytime I connected, if I forgot to disconnect from the VPN and used my PayPal account for a purchase they would lock me out of the account for my "protection" After this happening a third time it caused me to miss a house payment, I had to get the company lawyer to contact PayPal to make them remove this safety feature from my account and reimburse me for the late fees I incurred from the missed payment. I was locked out each time for around 7 days, no access to the only money I had at the time.

I didn't use PayPal for years after I left that company.

Sorry you had so many problems, it certainly can be stressful when you don't know what someone has access to but you certainly know you don't.

Wow, this looks to be a very big one.. nasty insurvivable storm surge, and large and destructive waves that will cause catastrophic damage, according to NHC.

Storm surge is what’s scary to me. They’re saying it’ll likely reach as far as 40 miles inland. Granted, it won’t be 15-20’ by then, but a lot of houses aren’t raised/on stilts if they’re not close to the water.
TL/DR explanation of the water....If they say a 5’ storm surge. Measure 5’ up the side of your house (ground towards the roof). Mark 5’. That’s how high the water will be with a 5’ surge. What they’re predicting with Laura will be over the roofs of most houses.

Then on top of the storm surge you’ve got huge waves from the wind. I’m watching it now on the weather channel. This is bad. A very strong hurricane.

well the good part is ft does take cc
just had to turn off my adblocker to get it to work (otherwise it kept redirecting me to log in to paypal)
yeah....
ordered 5x 10pk of mesh, profile clone, 2 long curved drip tips and 810 to 510 adapters for them

that black one is lonnnnnggggg 134mm the orange one is 75mm
kept talking myself out of getting a mod or two....I really want them but I don't need them
didn't need the drip tips either but

now to *ug* try to reason myself into buying 1 gallon of nic.... that one's a bit hard to swallow $190
yeah don't think I'm gonna be able to do that....maybe closer to my bday they'll have a sale

You should watch Mark Todd, too. He's lovely.

This thing is tiny. I think I prefer something with a little more heft, bulk, and cold metallic feel.. lol It's cool, but it won't be one of those--"I gotta have another one" type mods. The Asgard RDA is good on flavor, but getting the coils away from the ultem inner sleeve just messes with my anxiety more than I like.

That is tiny. But I bet I like it for that reason. I haven’t even taken mine out of the box yet. It’s sharp though!

I really enjoy watching the videos of Jai Haze's that start off with "WARNING" in front of the title. Something about him getting angry and going off on a tangent is just hilarious to me. I can generally only handle 5 minutes of it though. If I am about to buy something I tend to like to hear what Vic or Mike Vapes has to say about it.

One thing I do like about it is it will suck excess juice back into the bottle if your atty is full. Some of the older squonks did not do this. My topsides and Rage do this as well.

oh my god *screams*
ok so last night I was on live chat with paypal support for like 30 minutes (probably longer but a lot of that was just waiting)
now at that time I just thought there was an issue with my account
but the guy said that the name didn't match the account, which I found odd
and was told to call, and so yeah I called and the automated system is bs and just hangs up on me....
I spent most of today back and forth with paypal on facebook, to no avail

I just spent the better part of 2 horus on live chat again....because well, I thought I'd try and see what was up so I created a new account with my email address (which should have already been taken) but I was able to create a new account
so I called paypal again and now it said that I have 2 accounts under my phone number and one is a gmail account (yeah that's not me)
so my account was hacked! and again the stupid automated system just hangs up on me telling me to create a live chat....
now that I know I'm hacked I looked at my bank account and credit cards and sure enough there's a $5 withdraw to paypal from my bank....which I'm guessing more will follow

2 HOURS!!!! I keep getting the runaround
that name doesn't match the account
well no #$#$@$# it doesn't I told you the account was hacked!
the name doesn't match the account.....please try to log in again (disconnects chat)
$%#$#@$#@
I contact chat again....this time I actually got someone halfway intelligent....I provided them all the other information with the account and they were trying to see about getting me access to it when I lost connection
son of a #$@#$@#$@#$
contact chat again explaining that I accidently got disconnected and try to explain the situation again that I had just created a new account because my old account got hacked
please provide the name and email on the account
I can't it was hacked
please provide the name and email on the account
well, the name was (name goes here) and the email was (name goes here)
did you recently change your name?
on the account? no, I tried to years ago but it was too much of a hassle, that was my maiden name which 20 years ago when I opened the account that was my legal name, however my current legal name is (name here)
no all the information you provided matches the account
um no it does not, there are 2 accounts associated with (my number goes here) one I just created about an hour ago and the other is the hacked one
(silence for several minutes)
the name and email do not match that account
(deep breath) no it does not because that account was hacked, the person on live chat was trying to see if they could get my (insert secondary email account that was associated with the hacked account here) email to work
well what's wrong with that email?
it says no account found
well I'm showing that for (insert my current email here) and (insert my name here) matches and should work
YES That's the account that I made today to see what was going on....however my main account the other account was hacked and I either need access to it or you need to delete it and remove my bank account and credit cards from it....because the hacker is charing things to my bank account
(silence)
I either need access back to that account or it needs to be deleted before I take legal actions
I will put a hold on the account and start an investigation, please check your email for further information
which account are you referring to, the hacked one?
yes
can you remove the bank and credit card info from that account
the account will be on hold and no access will be allowed to the account
ok thank you

I swear to god....

for the better part of 20 years I've been using paypal, this is ridiculous!
common sense if the account was hacked, why do I have to prove what name and email address is currently on it? When I can prove the social security number, the drivers license used to verify the account, the bank accounts and credit card accounts and phone number on the account...and if you took 2 seconds to look, you'd see that the name and email address (which hadn't changed in 20 years, somehow go changed in the last few days)

yeah I don't think I'll be using paypal ever again
ok I can understand the opps our bad, sorry your account was hacked, let's put a hold on the account until we can get verification....but 28 hours of "the name and email address doesn't match so go screw yourself" attitude was ridiculous
I had to threaten with legal action to get them to even put a hold on the account (if they actually even did that)

My husbands paypal account was hacked this year. He was able to delete his account. We caught it before they emptied our accounts. I had someone take my identity (a stolen debit/credit card number) and forge a paypal account in my name. LOL I was livid. We don't have paypal anymore. The thieves are getting into paypal. I also had someone hijack my amazon account. I no longer order from Amazon. The fools don't know I have a card that I can turn on/off now.

When the guys "fixed" our AC the other day they fixed it all right, you could barely open door to the outside because of the suction. So tonight my wife's son came over and went up where they worked in the attic and found they had put the doors on the blower wrong. The way it was it was cooling the whole attic! He fixed it and now the doors are not hard to open. I tell you, these guys that get sent by AHS are buffoons.

 

[Katya]

Are you expecting nicotine sales on Labor Day?

Yes. But it's not official so I can't repeat it--just something that was mentioned informally in a private email from NN. If/when it becomes official, I'll post it here.

I had a duct detach one hot summer and didn’t know, our utility bill was $450 for 2 months in a row and it was still hot in the house. Finally I decided to check the attic and it was like 50 degrees in there :/
