    Man, I am only gonna be on here a second I NEED yoga today. My job went fine, pretty excellent actually. I have ascertained how behind I actually AM so YAY I will be doing trainings out my ears. Etc. That's fine. I will catch up.

    But, I loaned my husband the car and like he..... took it (and my house key) after me saying last night, "With X,Y. Z are you sure you even have time?" (I can be mildly precognitive I guess.)

    Anyway my husband shows up late as I am walking down the embankment of work toward "home" thinking (after a bunch of phone calls and texts all unanswered) "is there even a place I can get to to vape where my work can't see me? Should I call an Uber? Do I have to call a locksmith once I get home to start burying the husband? And purchasing a new vehicle OMG.

    So yeah, uh, that was an extremely unpleasant half hour. I was like, "OMG do I call my mom?" Then I was like, "Walk, you can walk along this highway with a nice grassy verge until you get to the gas station and deal with it all there.

    Anyway my car shows up being driven rapidly by the husband who like, is like. "I forgot my phone on the way to go shopping. It took longer than I expected." I was not super impressed. In fact, I was like, "You are the biggest a:censored:e of all time. Part of it was fatigue. Part of it was just plain old stress. I cried the whole way home. I was JUST miserable.

    In the days of cellphones for everything you don't forget it. HELL I can count on the fingers of one hand when I have forgotten my cellphone and they are few and far between. I mean I get it, I'm not MAD exactly kinda more TRAUMATIZED. I do NOT want to lend that man my car because he IS like this he gets on his "I am out and about and everyone can pound sand." Kinda. I mean I had a KID I had to care for you think I was late for him? No, l was NOT. The last time I had the one car scene I was dropping the husband to work like, every day and i was late like zero times.. Maybe he was poorly brought up.

    Course, me too I have abandonment issues one of my most vivid child hood memories was of being DROPPED off with the evil older brother and left alone with an English-- French dictionary (my brother took it and NO notice on one spoke English.)

    Like the worst part was they took us to this NEW building and it was after school and I was like
    "My mommy did not drop me off here, how will she FIND me?" We had these weird outside boots over our shoes and I kept going there and putting them on and getting ready to march in some direction where a parent could locate me and she kept grabbing me (this mean German Fraulein and saying "Nein "Stay here in German."

    My mom found us cuz she KNEW about after care she PAID for it. I still don't know what my parents were doing besides priming us for years of therapy. God. I was so relieved to see her I was not even MAD I was just HAPPY she SHOWED UP.

    Oh I have had other issues but this is the crap that gets me going.
    K Yoga. I think my Drag 2 showed up for review. Cool. But,. yoga.

    Tell me though I mean should I have been more stoic? probably. ;Gah
    I think the husband needs a vehicle of his own.

    :blink: "BIG HUGS" . . . :wub:

    Don't feel bad - I've been here for years and no one said "Happy Birthday" to "Me" this year either . . . BTW: Not looking for any Belated Wishes now, I'm too "OLD" - And it's too late . . .:img:

    :lol: :lol: :lol:

    My friend called me in January to wish me a happy birthday. First thing he said was, "sorry, you know I don't do Facebook". So I went on Facebook and booted him off my friends list. He calls me a couple of minutes later angry at me, asking why I kicked him off my Facebook. I mean, was I wrong? Didn't he just tell me he didn't do Facebook?

    Peoples..... they be so hard to read sometimes.:lol:

    I never really thought much about how shaking would add more oxygen to the process. That is something to consider. I guess, I figured that since I would shake it up before I unsealed the nic, that it wouldn't be an issue.

    I've always shaken it before opening and decanting. Any air from initial bottling has probably already done it's thing. Nice to hear Heartland agrees with me, since it's usually their nic! :lol:

    Everyone knows Taurus is the best astrological sign :D but I guess Virgo is okay :pervy:

    Leos rule :)

    Inawera makes two sesame flavors: Sesame--tastes like freshly roasted sesame seeds, if you are familiar with that taste, savory with just a hint of sweetness and nuttiness; and Sesame Sweets, which tastes like sesame/honey crackers or maybe halva--very sweet.
    Thank you so much. I love sesame (especially toasted)

    It’s very good as is honestly. Why would you use FW hazelnut? When I make banana bread at home, I use walnuts in the batter and in the topping. I’ve never tried hazelnut in it.
    I understand you might not use hazelnuts IRL, but it is such a good vape flavor I had to mention it.

    That is kind of what I was thinking. I thought since I was breaking it up into smaller bottles, shaking would make sure each of the bottles gets the same strength.

    Someone on ECF with knowledge of chemistry expressed the opinion that nic and VG/PG wouldn't separate out once they were mixed. Something to do with the nature of the way they interact with each other in solution. Some types of chemicals separate out after they are mixed, some don't. I forget the details and I'm not a chemist anyway. Assuming that they were mixed correctly by the vendor there wouldn't be a problem. If the vendor messed up then you have no way of knowing what is in the bottle anyway. My feeling is that the major vendors are very careful. Both NN and WL have published details of their process and quality control, and all the testing they do. Every batch is tested. I think they have to keep records of all that and send it to someone.

    Also the bottles are full with a small air gap when you get them. Shaking them wouldn't do much unless you put the bottles on a bottle roller for a couple of hours or something. To do a useful amount of mixing by hand would mean taking the nic out of the bottle into a larger container or something. I never bothered.
