@FranC the hubby needs his own car but he has this stupid 200K subaru they don't even make parts for and well, you don't want to take out a car loan on anything, even something used before a house loan. We may be at this for a few months. We talked it out though so it's okay but shheeesh. The husband is usually reliable enough that if I can't reach him in a half hour I FREAK.

So there's that. He wants to take it to be diagnosed, I think sort of drowning it might be nice. You know, just by "accident' "over celebrating" all the rivers and ponds we see. You know, not drunk or anything just like, we were drawn near the water with awe, just sort of seeing it, we got one tire in a little bit and the next thing you know.... dramatic and impossible scene of kicking out the window. There is a Subaru dealer here he says dx of the car is gonna be 500 bucks and I don't have that and can't get that until my next paycheck unless I walk the streets of Clarksburg at night and frankly, I don't care about ANYONE's transportation THAT much. Maybe Jesus if he assigned me the task but he would have to show himself, explain some contradictions REALLY well and then be "I need you to walk the streets so I can get me a car." Which would REALLY be a contradiction given it is Hessus, maker of loaves, and fishes and wine. He could make 17 jillion Tesla self driving cars anytime he wants. So we are stuck. Hate it. Bad money after bad forEVER.


Everyone knows Sag is the best sign! W00T!

I do know that because I am a Gemini and they are "best" compatible with "Sagittarius" which my little bro is and he is my favorite family member by a country mile. Also though, both my husbands were Sagittarius signs and it taught me there is a lot more to liking, compatibility and whatnot that your stupid star sign. No sober person enjoys being married to a drug dealer, let's face it, especially one who USES HIS OWN PRODUCT 100% fail RIGHT THERE in the end, however long it takes. So meh on the signs although maybe there is something to em.

For example one might not think there would be another Gemini here to endorse what I am saying about star signs, but it is the one CURRENTLY now typing who says I AM FULL OF IT AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS YOUR STAR SIGN AND WANTS TO MURDER EVERY VIRGO SHE CROSSES....

Heh. That would be why the twins suck. They are not identical twins but I love the paradoxical and self-argumentativeness, when I am not HATING IT. Add in a good old REAL BP Dx and you are pretty much (censored, censored.)

Finally I am going to say it:

"over-celebrated

Finally, @vaper1960 and I really like you and empathize but getting on a site after drunk I mean dark, and lit up and saying really some not appropriate things.... It gets old. Not just for the people around you but for YOU. You are drinking too much and when you do you are drinking enough to impact your thought process and judgement, and then your respond with the tired excuse "I was drunk." Well,, guess what. I'm sure you don't enjoy your mornings after coupled with your evenings before and if the pattern has started (which it has) you should decide which is more important to you, drinking more certain evenings or posting on ECF but not BOTH. It's not going to work out.

I get it. I had to figure where I fit on ECF and it's not all places and that's fine. But I want to be more or less left alone etc. than have a miserable time. My posting style is not for everyone but it is consistent and I have figured out over time how to make it work.

I have no idea about you and drinking but you seem to like this thread a lot so drinking and vomiting up statements you later say, "Oh gosh I was drunk for" is not going to make you long lasting friends.

Take any or none of what I say to heart, but I am GONNA say it.

    I like some others of hers. So, I think this looks like a winner. Probably why I ordered cookie butter in the first place lol

    I’m three for three with her recipes. I love the orange tart and am really liking the banana nut bread. You can actually taste the bread part. I’m not a banana fan but like this one.

    After $3.30, almost three weeks waiting for the part, and about 10-12 hours of research, demo, and putting it back together...my dryer is fixed.

    :banana:

    I look like I’ve been in a fight with bloody scratches everywhere. I have two spare screws and I know where they go but at that point I would have had to take it apart again. Not important screws. But it works!

    I am an Aquarius and I fit the bill for one. The description is exactly me. My birthday is incorrect on here...when I came back last year they let me keep my old name but the bday got screwed up somehow and was not fixable. I think bdays are just another day and I despise attention so I try to get through the day as fast as possible.

    I need a bath! :thumbs:

    You won in the mega match against the dryer!!! Go, RJ!!!!

    I love birthdays. I’d go for a whole week of celebration if it was possible lol. Yep, the month of March is all mine lol
    I’ve climbed alot of rocky mountains, passed through beautiful plains, and crawled through some hellacious chasms in 57 years. I’m happy to celebrate where it brought me to today. Age is just a number. I’ll be 58 next March no matter what, so why ignore it and not celebrate it?

    When I take a new bottle of nic out of the freezer I shake it and that’s the only time I shake it.Then I pour it into the clear plastic bottle that’s my working bottle.

    Right. I turn the bottle upside down several times and shake while doing that. Just to make sure everything is evenly distributed. I also shake after diluting it with PG and VG--to make sure that the stronger nic is properly diluted.

    I would shake them a little. When you nic is fresh and after several days in transit, hot spots should not be a problem. However, after months or years in storage, you really need to shake a lot.
    Well, the nic definitely hasn't been sitting around for months. I've only had my nic for a couple of weeks at most.

    I love banana vapes. I’ll have to check the steep box. I think I mixed an orange one of hers. I bought two of her one shots last order, just to try, and sometimes I adore lazy mixing. They’re both really good.

    Yup, I pre-mix my base and give them good shakes before I put them away and again before I use them.

    Just turn it upside down a couple of times and rebottle. Leave a little headspace in your glass bottles, label and stick'em in your brand new shiny freezer. Good luck!

    Why leave headspace? I thought the goal was to leave as little air as possible.

    I don't know if it was just me or what. I didn't leave headspace in one bottle, poured it all the way to the top. I then screwed the cap on tightly, and started pouring the second bottle. Just as I was about to finish, the first bottle let out a loud pop. And showered my face with nicotine. It didn't break, but did build enough pressure to pop the cap from the threads....

    Do you mean a 2000 model or 200,000 miles? (doesn't matter.. kinda the same) Just wanted to mention that if the timing belt has not been done it could self destruct (it's what's called an interference fit between the pistons and valves) Most people also do the water pump at the same time (I know... not what you wanted to hear right now) Have you considered leasing a car? Maybe just drive the Subaru till it dies.
