Good luck to us both. I always have at least 5 of my cheesecakes mixed. Just tried this flavor out of curiosity.
Just a heads up on the WF Strawberry Cheesecake. Be sure to add some Graham flavoring, because there really isn't much in the WF flavor. I think that is why I like it, but I know you like your graham.

Do you expect lots of cute babies?

I should have some beauties this year. I am hoping Marley, the Ornate Diamondback Terrapin my company is named for, gives me a couple of nice clutches. This is only her third year breeding.. She's been dumping her eggs in the water and then she and the other females eat them. Last year she did lay some in the nesting box but she didn't bury them. She then crushed them all...

Young females will usually do that though.

    Well that really sucks. No way to save the babies before they die?

    I did think of that but just going with the cheese and added strawberry. Who knows, I may like it.

    Left side mixed for Mom on November 3, 2019 at 18 mg. (She didn’t take to vaping at all). Right side mixed yesterday at 1.5 mg. The left one turned dark quickly right after mixing. I guess it’s the nicotine content? Needless to say 18 mg would kill me so this is my first dumped juice ever.

    Stingy me would mix up twice the amount with no nic and combine that with the 18mg version.

    I certainly did.

    Unfortunately not, they're just yolk at that point. I have incubators that I place them in if the terrapins bury the eggs like they should. They then stay in the incubator for up to 48 days for females, 70 days for males.

    I also have motion sensing cameras in the nesting boxes. Nest digging activities will alert me and I can watch. Marley just goes into the sandbox and lays there under the lights, which won't trigger the cameras.

    She's sneaky.

    Seeing the labels, I had to buy another label maker not long ago. You would think label makers should last more than 15 years. When I first started DIY, I tried using handwritten labels using old sticky-backed disc labels I had laying around. It really got to be a pain removing them when I washed out the bottles. The label maker came with a clear ribbon and I used it to label the ejuice bottles. As far as I'm concerned clear tape on a clear bottle is not a good idea. I replaced it with a white ribbon and I will be replacing the clear labels on the ejuice bottles.

    Hmmm, Fran is either on her phone with the tiny buttons, or doesn't like double decker busses ;)

    I do it too when I am using my tablet, however, I usually discover my mistake before I "send". I won't attempt to try doing any replying on my phone. My fat fingers and the tiny phone keyboard do not go together. I have a hard enough time doing text messages.

    I don't have anything planned for today, well, other than relabeling my ejuice bottles with white labels. I'm enjoying my coffee and the movie "The Book of Eli". Later, I may see if I can find another book to read. I've got a good selection loaded on my tablet. Sitting outside reading a good book and letting my dog roam around sounds like a good plan.

    I hope everyone has a good day. Stay safe and well.

    I loved the Book of Eli. Denzel is awesome in pretty much any movie. Enjoy your day.
