    I ordered a bunch of things I have been wanting and just procrastinating about. I ordered some of the Flavor Creative Custard. I had some before, seems there was a period you could buy it in the states and I bought a couple bottles. It was a few years ago and I did it threw our friend NotSoMini. I still have some but it is old. I like it and do not like CAP Vanilla Custard. I also got some Calipitter Chow - Mom & Pops. Then I hopped over to DIYFS and got some Holy Holy Grail RY4 as per the talk I have heard in here and feel I NEED it. Lastly a gallon of VG.
    Someone please tell me:
    Are we in danger of ordering Nicotine soon. Like in my mind I have it memorized to do it by March 1st. But then I also thought I heard we were going to dodge that bullet.
    Sigh. It sucks losing your memory.
    IMO it would be safer to order nic now.

    I had cats most of my life, the last one died a few years ago. Problem is that they can live for 20 years and I don't expect to be around that long. I don't want to leave animals behind. Now we have 2 dogs and they are both getting on, we won't be getting any more for the same reason.
    What about a senior cat. They have a problem finding anyone that wants them.

    My vaccination was easy too. I have a little pain at the injection site but it's minor compared to the four days of pain I had with the flu shot which I think was more of a function of the skill or lack thereof of the nurse. No other side effects whatsoever from my pfizer shot. I'm relieved as well. We are still trying to get Mom signed up...nothing yet. She is making some phone calls this morning. Dad gets his tomorrow evening. I'll be driving him there.

    Although, your mom doesn't have an appointment, bring her along with you and your dad - if she qualifies they may just give her the shot anyway . . . I heard it happens occasionally . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    She is not eligible through the hospital where I got mine or where Dad is a patient. The rollout in Alabama is ridiculous. We are dead last per the news. We also received the fewest amount of vaccinations. And we also have the highest positive rate of covid. Now they are opening up the vaccine eligibility to the 65+ crowd on the 8th when they don't even have the first groups done yet with not enough vaccine to go around. Just ridiculous and I'm fed up. I have her signed up everywhere but I hear nothing. I call everywhere and it's a beep beep beep. They say to not call hospitals as they are overwhelmed. She's just stuck. She doesn't leave her house though and hasn't in almost a year. I'm hoping we'll hear something soon. I'll be honest though...they should have been making more of an effort themselves to get it. I can only do so much.

    After Amber <-------- (that one over there) is gone...I will not have any more pets. I can't vacation, I can't leave for a weekend, I am stuck here taking care of her. She would not handle us being gone and she would not handle being in a kennel or shelter. So owning a pet is a huge responsibility, and one I didn't ask for with her (she just showed up on my doorstep and I couldn't find the owners after several attempts and I didn't have the heart to take her to the humane society as I know what they do there). Pet ownership is very pricey as well. After she's gone, I'm done. I said that after my last cat tragically died. :blink: I love her...but no more!

    That looks a lot like our cat that passed away a couple years ago. He lived to be almost 15. I kind of want another cat but the wife said no more after he passed. I think I might be able to change her mind with time. Maybe.
    Get an orange boy. By far the most affectionate. The one in the picture is a girl, rare for an orange to be a girl as 90% are males. My dog thinks she is a cat foster and always helps get kittens "dog friendly" before they go up for adoption. Her and Cheddar had a special bond. Because Daphne (dog), (and Zazie), convinced me to honor that bond, Cheddar stayed.

    I was happy you kept Cheddar.

    Pricey?? I just paid a $2,100 bill for my guy Joe, cat, for an overnight stay in a pricey emergency clinic. Joe started ...... blood on a Friday evening. I took him to my vet. They did blood work and notated that he had lost weight. Blood work good, nothing amiss. They sent Joe home with an antibiotic and told me to feed him as much as he would eat. The diagnosis was Urinary Tract infection. The next day he started to throw up and refused food. Something Joe never does. My vet is now closed. I let my mind go to all silly places and lost faith in my little country vet. I rushed Joe to the best vet hospital in Atlanta, (cancer and internist on duty) and he spent the night. I authorized any and all tests. He got an ultrasound, more blood work, and a urine test. He came home the next day, after I paid the ginormous bill, with a diagnosis. Urinary Tract Infection. Peace of mind will cost you folks.
    My dog has allergies and takes a special pill, one a day. Apoquel. Without it she is miserable. That pill is $2.75 even at the online pharmacy, so we are talking about almost $300 every three months.
    I also make her own dog food, so there are no fillers or grains. Only whole foods.
    I have two other cats aside from this. I would have a nice summer house in the Florida Keys if I did not have pets (that are spoiled)
    I do travel though, (not now due to Covid) my dog goes to my daughters and I have friends that come take care of my cats.

    I have a question for people that use mesh coils. I use mostly Freemax mesh coils, have tried all 4,single, double, triple and quad. I actually prefer the single, easier to prime and after each flavor change a 30 second warm water rinse brings them back. I'm able to run 200 ml through a coil with no problems. Any one else have experience with any of these?

    Back when I was strictly a DL vapor, I used the Mesh Pro pretty much exclusively. I generally preferred using the Quad core, and runner up was the single core. For some reason the dual and triple core seemed to not last near as long and the flavor wasn't as good. But on the single and quad coils, I could make a coil last 2 weeks easily. And that was using commercial juice, which I am sure was full of sweetener.

    I too am very allergic to cats. I have nothing against cats, but I prefer they keep their distance.

    Don’t you miss the animals when you go? Your dog is such a sweetheart.

    To be honest I don't notice any flavor difference between the coils. The single are cheaper than the others which is a plus also.

    You're definitely more of an animal lover than me. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have rushed a cat to an emergency hospital like you did.

    I have limited experience with the stock Freemax coils. I did reviews and used them in the maxus 100 and 200. The flavor was incredible but I couldn't tell you now which ones they were or how much liquid I ran through them.

    I told my dog lover story this morning. My dog has woken me several times this past week at 4am or earlier and she's still breathing and happy go lucky.
