    Yes, honestly I’m not that excited about it. I’ve still got two reviews I’d like to write before I go back to work. I’m honestly getting rather tired of testing pods.
    I really feel the only thing that would grab my interest at this point would be a mod. No tank, no pod, just a mod.

    I read a ton, daily. I've been reading exclusively on my kindle, but today I received my first "analog" book in ages. I asked my coworker once when the last time he read a book and it was over 10 years ago. :eek:
    I read a lot too and always have 3-4 books going. I don't like reading books on my iPad even though I have many on it. It just doesn't feel right to me. Give me a physical book 100% of the time. :D

    I had to fly back to Florida three weeks ago to help out my old boss. It seems the guy who took my place screwed up the irrigation/dosing system at one of our customers (grow farm) out in California. In a couple of weeks I'll go out to Cali to straighten things out. My boss always took very good care of me, and it was really nice seeing everyone I've worked with for the last 15 years.

    They even did a little picnic behind the facility celebrating my return. Here's a pic of me (beautiful shorts) about to do what I do best, throw down on some food.

    That's weird to me, I get the same vibe from a book or the Kindle as it's the story I get into. I think... :)

    Thank you all for the support... it's going be hard getting through the next two weeks (I guess after that we should be fine)
    We were going to do a "late Christmas" with my son's family... now that is delayed too. I am trying to stay positive (these forums help keep my mind distracted)

    Does anyone know of a good flavor to pair with VTA Sugarloaf Pineapple? I want to give it a shot, but don't really want to do a SFT on it.
    A while back I skipped doing a SFT and tested VTA Sugarloaf Pineapple with FLV Cream and FA Madagascar (Vanilla Classic). It was really good. The last time I made it I subbed TFA Bavarian Cream for FLV Cream, and that was also good.

    Nearly any bakery or ice cream will work. Yogurt. Off the top of my head any of the following would pair very nicely with pineapple... banana, mango, coconut, oranges, kiwi, papaya, passion fruit, strawberries.

    I have had peanut butter on a hamburger and it was fantastic.
    So is hummus (my son's idea) BTW, PB in beef stew was not an impulse (saw that on a cooking show) I didn't tell anyone my "secret ingredient"... they all loved it and were quite surprised when I told them.

    I put a touch peanut butter in my Mole sauce, as well as in my homemade Hoisin sauce.

    Morning folks. I am in the market for a good whipped cream flavor. What is everyone's favorite whipped cream?
    FLV Whipped Cream is my favorite. It's very realistic and rich. Also adds mouthfeel. It's strong. I only do drops with it. I've never go over 8 drops (30ml). It will totally take over a mix if too much is used. All depends on the %'s of other flavors.

    Several years ago a baby boy was born to my gd,Heather. He was a cutie named Cameron. The sad part is he lived less than 2 months. We are all going out to eat tonight for his birthday.

    Definitely sad to hear... Vale little Cameron.

    When BCF released all those SSA flavors a while back whipped cream SSA was one of the ones I ordered. I like it... it's like a dense, rich, more like I imagine a whip cream would taste in a vape. I have only tried the TFA version prior and like the SSA version better.
    I've had the SSA WC for a while but haven't tried it yet. <sigh :facepalm:>

    What % did you use it at?

    Thanks!

    I'm a mixed mode reader, as well. Although for ebooks I've moved off my tablet and onto my phone. Actually a boon, since I pretty much have my phone where ever we go, and didn't always remember the tablet or a physical book. Gotta have something to read while the other half is in the store! (Some stores we do shop together, but then she wants to spend an hour in some trinket place... ;) )

    Nope, no deposit as of this AM.

    FLV Alpine Strawberry
    Before I bought Alpine Strawberry I heard it was a super concentrate. I did 3 drops in 30ml for my initial test. FWIW, I think it's a really good strawberry. I've also paired it with FA Red Touch (Strawberry) and FA Juicy Strawberry. That was really good. I'm planning on doing a test using Alpine s-berry paired with MF Strawberry.

    It was an either-or for me. FLV or MF. The Alpine won.
