    Was that the show where she would go into restaurants and get the cheapest dessert on the menu, and then go to another place and ask for half a lamb chop?

    She can't even make good dog food.

    Yes that is the show. :) I watched it because I was helping my disabled mother out at the time. IDK if it was Rachels or Ellen Degenerate brand of cat food but they added regular size pieces of peas and carrots to the cat food. My cats snubbed it immediately and it went outdoors for the hungry strays.

    This is just me, but do make sure your kids know they can talk to you about anything...

    My daughter was very nearly successful in a suicide attempt after she was raped @ 15 y/o...

    When she came off the ventilator and began talking, she did tell the police why and the police told me and life changed - but she didn't feel like she could talk to me.. and that was some of the most horrifying time of my life...

    Of course charges were forthcoming against the two boys, because it was medically proven etc.

    But I think when kids don't think they can talk about something they feel trapped sometimes. It's just a matter of saying hey, there's nothing so bad we can't talk about.

    Sorry to hear about that Opin... my heart goes out to the both of you. I agree 100%, my daughter and I talk a lot. Sometimes getting a teenager to open up and be totally honest about what's going on inside can be difficult even when everything is okay.

    I probably worry way more than I should, but it's hard not to. This is that stage where you try to allow them some independence and question yourself the whole time. I am so glad we got her tied up into sports at an early age..

    Except for the labeling, I'm done mixing for the day. I didn't get as much done as I normally do. It's harder to measure for 8mg/ml than for 10mg/ml. There weren't any fractions of mls which is one the reasons I stayed at 10 for so long. It was so easy to mix. I think I'm gonna buy me this new toy from Amazon

    I used to use them way back when I was a research tech in the dinosaur ages. You set the volume you want and it will

    Why not just get a scale and measure by weight?

    I have a scale and I do measure flavors by weight. But putting 50 bottles one by one on a scale takes a long time compared to a pipette. I can pipette 2 bottles at a time with a 10ml pipette. With this automatic pipette I can do 1 bottle at a time, but with the precise quantity each time. You dont have look and see how much liquid is flowing into the bottle. I've used them before and they are fast.

    Yeah, I don't want to talk about work. They are killing me. I'll probably finish another project in the next few days and it's actually pretty amazing what I can accomplish in just a short time. They don't know what they have and I definitely don't get paid enough. I'll be having a talk with them. I took over another person's job when they retired and I've gotten nothing extra for working two jobs.

    Absolute ditto! We didn't fill a position when we re-opened and I took over the job with no $ or recognition. Are we working at the same place? :lol:

    The upside is that times like now, I'm the only person in the office area. Happy Vaping Time!
    now back to work!

    You mix 50 bottles at a time? Are you mixing for other people?

    Nope. I just get out all my mixing supplies when my stash is low and spend several hours mixing. I only have to do it every 6 weeks or so. It's mostly single flavors, but now that the kind folks on this thread have given me enough starter flavors I am trying a few mixes. I wish I had a dedicated space for my flavors and such, then I'd try more mixes, more often. But to mix, I have to get the equipment out of the closet and that is such a hassle.

    Hiya Mixers! Just read this on another thread:
    Innokin posted (reddit sub) that pods have an avg life of 2-3 months. Yikes. I don't have near enough. Ugh.

    Is it true in your experience? If so, I need more Kroma-Z pods. *sigh*
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated. :wub:

    Wow... That actually sounds really good. You are on a roll... not just simple 3-4 flavor recipes (and having more doesn't mean it's better) I am super impressed (not kissing up... you know I don't do that)
    Good name too... Mangostar...

    Reminds me of this guy. :)
