    My youngest daughter and her boyfriend headed back to college this morning. He starts back tomorrow but she doesn't start for another couple weeks. She is staying with him until her classes start then will head back to her apartment. My wife and I are kind of glad she's gone. We love her but it's been five weeks of drama and stress. It'll be nice to get back to just the two of us. I just have to remember to pay the daughter's rent and send her a little money here and there for groceries so she doesn't starve.
    Does she plan on getting a job?

    BTW How's your older girl doing?

    Spike Lee again tonight with the movie Bamboozled. Seems like something similar to The Producers (1967)?
    That's one of the weirder ones of his. I remember having to watch it for a class in college. Wasn't one of my favorite Spike Lee movies.

    Freemax fireluke and mesh pro coils:
    When I change flavors, I rinse the coil in warm water for about 1 minute, blow through it and prime(saturate) it like a new coil. I don't wait for it to air dry. Within a few puffs the new flavor shines through, these coils never cease to amaze me.

    No plans on getting a job. Honestly, I don’t know if she could handle working and school. She has had to retake two classes now. I think in the fall when she starts the nursing program that they will have her working some each week at a hospital. My oldest had a friend that went for nursing and that’s how they did with her.

    My oldest is doing fine. She’s working and living with her boyfriend. She’s self sufficient for the most part. I still pay her car insurance every six months but that’s it. Her car is old and the insurance isn’t that much. She didn’t ask me to but it’s my way of helping out while she pays off her student loans. If she gets a new car then it’s on her after that.

    The vaporesso GT and GT ccell coils I stocked up on seem to last forever too.

    Sounds like your oldest is doing great. Plus not expecting you to pay for stuff.Hopefully your youngest will end up that way in time.

    She will get there. She had a job in high school for a while. Once she gets her nursing degree she will be set.

    My nursing program was set up like boot camp. I did work PRN as a cna every other weekend for about two years. It paid for my gas and the significant other paid for my schooling. I did have to drive (one way) to school 50 miles because they didn't offer the program closer.

    Going to orientation tomorrow and I have to drive about 30 miles in the AM. I'm not a morning person. I hope I can be nice.

    I read up on David Bowie's eyes a few years ago, and apparently his eyes were both the same color, but the pupil of one of them was permanently dilated as a result of an injury when he was fifteen. Some rival in love punched him in the eye, and his fingernail damaged the muscles responsible for opening and closing the pupil.
    I always thought it was something else he put drops in his eye and it stayed permanently dialated (can't say but it ended in 25 ;) )

    I was so sure the Macadamian Nut was really good but it seems I was mistaken. I’m not really upset about it because I still have plenty of hazelnut. I have other nuts I like also and may just add the Macadamian nut to my next piff.
    I just have hazelnut (and love it so much didn't bother trying any others (with the exception of ordering peanut butter for a specific recipe) Everyone said mac nut is nice but not much flavor.

    OK... haven't mixed "base" in a while First batch (supposed to be 9 mg) was a disaster! I hate funnels with VG... you stop and it keeps working it's way down the funnel. Second try was 12 mg and got that right. Right after I finished, I remembered I had transferred VG and PG into smaller bottles with spouts (brain fart!) so I wouldn't have to mess with funnels again. I really need to makes notes (for everything)... only 60 but memory comes and goes (lately it goes right out the window) Anyway, ready to do 11 SFTs LOL.

    I just primed a coil and filled a tank with JC’s white coffee recipe.

    I hope you'll like it, but if you don't...tweaking it might help. I may like more cream and sweetness than some do in theirs. Also, our taste buds are all different, too. The more I vape it, the more I seem to taste some resemblance to the RF ABC. Couldn't put my finger on what it reminded me of at first, but that's definitely it, for me anyway.

    Gotta run, and won't be back here for awhile. So, I'll have to wait to read what you think of it.

    Who knows? I recounted the story he himself told, but he might have made it up 'cause it sounded better than your version.
