Everything is progressing for the surgery Friday - I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen but just talked to the surgeon's asst and she said it's a go. I can't wait, my knee is killing me. Maybe I can stay awake and video the surgery for you guys. :shock:
My mother would love it. She enjoys watching orthopedic surgery videos for some reason.

The pics I've seen of the surgery are plenty bloody and gory - I haven't tried to watch a video but they're out there. Hey if I'm awake I could give the surgeon "pro tips" to make my knee high speed and low drag. LOL

And TY Bud!
I watched a video of the first artificial acl implant, or some knee ligament or tendon, on a retired NFL lineman. So not pretty to watch. But he was healed.

Mine talk back, but it's subtle, and I have to listen very closely to them, in the quiet moments of dawn, in the late evening hours, in between. House plants tell me "outside, plant me, and I'll grow!".

Outside plants have eaier requests of me. As far as talking back, they are all very pleasant in their requests. I find that the complaints are more likened to music. Delivered by wind, as a breeze or a gale, in rhythms so easily missed, the notes traditionally percieved so sharply on strings or brass, the understated flutters, whispers, and rattles, leaves and vines, singing that ancient song, as old as time itself, life goes on.

Mostly they ask for a little water, or some attention regarding bugs, or harvests, extra food, grass intruding, and what not. Plants are so much easier for me than animals, at least so far in my limited experience. Who knows, time may change that.

As far as healing powers, I'm also convinced they do have that in different ways.

Yes, yes, yes. How beautifully said. :wub:

If the smart TV let’s you access the apps you want without using the roku then you don’t need it. Not all tvs let you have access to all apps. We ran into that with my daughters tv.
Yup.... depends on whether you can access Google play.

    Nighty Night Mixers,

    Today is my kidney doc appt by video and the blood work for her came back so she'll have that and we'll see how bad they are. Meanwhile when I shower daily I have to wash with this stuff Hibiclens. Per the surgeon I use it everyday now and apply it from the waist down and leave it on for a minute before washing it off. One of these days have to pack everything for a 2 week stay. See you later today!

    The Inw wild strawberry was what I was tasting at first and the lime was amplifying what I’d call almost a bitter taste. It’s much better with lemon. I had never used that strawberry before so wasn’t sure what I was tasting it from at first. I don’t know if bitter is the right word or not but I get it mostly on the exhale.

    Sounds good, that's when I get the flavour the most...the snorting like a dragon exhale, thanks.

    The anticipation is the hardest part. Surgeries like this have come a long way.
    Stay strong and lean on your "support group".

    I hope to regain some renewed inspiration for mixing new recipes from y'all. I've been in a slump for the past several months in regards to diy eliquid experimentation. My time and energy has been ... diverted I suppose. Gardening has become very important to me this year.

    I see that you have been branching out into semi-sweet e-liquids, and new devices, @FranC . It looks like you are having fun with it, and I'm glad to see this. How are you liking the Dvarw so far? I have one (fasttech Dvarw DL), and I think it is a very nice tank. I haven't used it as much as I thought I would, because I squonk all of the time, but I hope to use it more in the future.

    No new vape orders in quite some time. I didn't even know we could still buy vape stuff legally. All of this crazy legislation threw me for a loop, so I haven't been keeping up with things.

    As much as I've distanced myself from the news lately, I imagine there's alot more I am missing on that front (hard to keep up with).

    @Territoo yep, Texas is a big state, that's for sure. It's funny how we measure travel in hours, where as most states measure it in miles.

    I've got a honeysuckle flavor, which I love, but what are y'alls favorite honeydew, and watermelon, flavors? TFA watermelon used to be my favorite, but nowadays it just doesn't taste like real watermelon to me anymore, it's lacking the juicyness. As far as honeydew goes I haven't even tried any vape flavors.

    Anyway, happy mixing folks. I hope to be joining y'all in this pastime once again, soon. Until then, persistence beats resistance, and I'll get there in time. Vape on.
    I think it's great that you turned to gardening and it worked for you:wub: Yes, I'm finding that I can vape a wee more sweetness and I think that's great. I do really like my dvarws. I could never get into dripping or sqounking. I just got TFA Watermelon in an order. I did a mix with Molinberry Big Watermelon but I haven't tried it yet.
