Vaping since 8/9/2012
When my sisters and I left home we moved to the 4 corners of the states. Any time we came home to visit, my Mom would fix our favorite meal. Mine was chicken and noodles. All of it made from scratch. Every now and then I will make it myself, I just can't make the noodles. I use Reames frozen noodles are the closest I can find that are like Moms.
I have nothing planned for today, which is a good thing because I woke up to find a couple of inches of snow. My jeep can handle it but I don't trust the other drivers on the road. I will continue to do my searching for a design of cat tree I like so I can make one for my kitten.
Yesterday I made a big batch of a cream ejuice I like. I have it in a dark bottle on a shelf in my vanity for some steeping. I figure I can't go wrong if I like it as a shake and vape. I have some in a smaller bottle I can use as a tester as it matures.
I hope everyone has a great day. Stay safe and well.
Awww. :wub:

My son’s fav meal from me is roast and stewed potatoes. He changed recently from my meatballs and brown gravy and mashed potatoes. I love it all but my uncle gave my parents fresh turnip greens and collards the other day. So Mom is making me some of that with candied yams and butter beans and cornbread one day this week (my son doesn’t like it). :rolleyes: Love me some country food!

Maybe just search "cat trees" for more ideas :)

Have you seen Bad Santa? It's sweet but with a lot of cursing.

Oh believe you me, I did NOT want to sign up for those shifts. I did it because I was in the middle of sorting out my ADA stuff, and my supervisor sort of VAGUELY suggested that I would be less likely to have a midweek one and before we corrected the "going down the LIST OF SENIORITY instead of the two new people have to cover every time." Before I joined the union.

Then I was like, "DANG if I knew they were DOING IT WRONG, I would not have signed up." But it would have looked bad to drop out.

I am feeling pretty stressed about complaining on Monday but it needs to be done. I cannot cope.

I do kind of have proof he LIED like a snake in a meeting witnessed by a Union rep. Etc. He has like 6 charges, including DV, assault and battery, etc. He was a really maladjusted teen.

However, were he REALLY better... He's like one of those people who has decided to be a GOOD citizen he just has to be.... You know those genuinely nice people who are JUST NICE? Well, his nice is like this creepy forced VENEER of nice and several people of the newish persuasion were like, "Is he hitting on me?" cuz it's too much, too creepy, too whatever.

He is aware he is caught. I think. I always get the special ones. I am glad I set me up for success by making sure it is documented he LIED to me like some idiot child.

("I was not pacing with my arms clenched I was putting things away, maybe." UH HUH. I'm not SEVEN dude.

Still dreading it, but really, it has to be done.

As a new person you gotta show you are valiant like I took two holiday shifts this holiday year I mean you have to. I think I have done my damn part for the ED however. Seriously.

    I do have some steeped mixes to try. I’ve been avoiding one because I don’t think I’ll like it. I’m going to bite the bullet and try that one next. The Chocolate Custard is getting extra steeping need to try that too.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I filled one tank with the strawberry cheesecake and it’s starting to get good as the coil breaks in. I loaded a second with a butterscotch cream pie that’s been steeped for a month. I hope it gets better as I use it. I had high hopes for it. Probably should have put a new coil in the rta but was lazy and just dry burned it.

    I would think dry burning would be enough.

    I have another question about steeping. Is nicotine a required part of the steeping process or can it be added after steeping?
    That’s a good question. Maybe it can be added anytime . On the other hand the idea of the steeping process is to have everything meld together. My best answer is IDK.

    I am guessing you could do it both ways, IDK. I mean folks test out odd mixes without nicotine but then the nicotine is going to change things if only slightly.

    I would again (and I am guessing here, I tend to just use base if I am mixing it's easier) you might have more of a nicotine "taste" if your nic even has one IDK. I think you'd have to experiment because I really don't know.

    I bet someone here will know, though.

    Today I started going threw my saved recipes, trying to find any that had the FA Custard Premium, and I did not find much, but I did find this one. I had all the flavors, so I just mixed it. It was posted by notsomini a long time ago, said to steep for 3 days, I think I will give it longer though. Seems like a good one to try for the holidays. :)
