I do like the vandyvape coils but feel like I can’t get enough wick to block the holes with a 2.5. I’ll still use them in other stuff.
That's weird. I've never ran into that issue with the 2.5 coils. I always seem to have plenty of wick to stuff in front of the holes.

We were still in the 80s until two days ago, now it's been in the 60s and windy as all get out. The call Chicago the Windy City, but nothing beats the wind on the Texas plains. Amarillo was the windiest city I ever been in.

Will it now stay cold throughout the winter, or will you get back into the 80's? Here where we live there is a small window of pleasurable temps. It's hot and then the temps dip down into the mid 70's for about 2 weeks, then BAM (!!!) it's 48 degrees and just continues to fall. We were still in the 30's the last week of April this year.

It's windy here, but not like Amarillo I am sure. I don't know it it's true or not but someone once told me Amarillo is the windiest city in America.

I took Remeron/mirtazapine for many years to help with sleep. At small doses one of it's side effects is aiding with sleep, but there is one problem with it.... It makes you eat, and I mean eat A LOT.

I've been quietly following your recent journeys and my heart goes out to you. Sorry you have been having it rough.

it's been an uphill climb but I'm doing much better now than I have for a couple/few years now... finally! So noting to be sorry over..:) its just life..

I may skip asking for that med then, because uncontrollable eating isn't something my body can handle.. lol.. reminds me of amitriptyline though, with that sleep med it made me crave chocolate like I was pregnant with a massive craving.. I used to have to hide chocolate bars around the house (from the kids...lol) so if i had a craving late then i wouldn't have to run to the convenience store after dark.. lol After a couple years of taking it those cravings finally ended, but it was a ridiculous couple years... lol

I have been on death's door a couple of times, 2 battles with kaposi sarcoma. I am a six footer and 105 lbs was not a healthy look at all LOL.. I firmly believe, and if you disagree I totally welcome and respect it, but it's like you have to hold a certain mentality, an appreciation for the moment sort of speak.

That stuff changed my personality, and I think it may have been for the better. Others of course, probably disagree... sarcasm level 1000, and everything is rather humorous.

Hang in there Boots.

    She's just there helping out the concession stand. She plays soccer and plays in the marching band. She has a game tomorrow in the next town over and a game on Sunday in Oklahoma.
    Busy girl :)

    I was trying to relax and watch some tv but my wife started running the carpet cleaner upstairs right above my chair. I finally gave up.
    LOL
    Someone ( ;) ) wants help cleaning the carpets at 8:00 pm? Of course, when you're wiped out on a Friday!
    IDK your situation, but I'd play real nice today while "doing Fall stuff"...I mean, your wife cleans the carpets by herself! That's pretty cool. Get her some cider and a doughnut! :D
    You both sound very hard-working.


    Yeah, same here. I usually make it to 10.
    I wake up at 4:00 normally, unless it is a Friday, then 3:20.
    Oy.

    Mixing some more tobacco flavors today. I have to go get another 18650, or maybe just a wrap for the one that has the ring falling out. Maybe I'll do both.

    Both sounds good. You could use a new battery :)

    Hi all,

    I quit posting a while back because I felt so bad being in the that horrible old folks home. But I am home now and feeling much better! The knee is doing so well I can walk with no assistance - it's the rest of me that is still paying for being in the tiny room with a tiny bed for a month. I fell in the bathroom about 5 days ago (still in the Home) and that wound up tearing me up pretty good and I thought I was ok.

    I was by myself and getting up from the toilet when I lost my balance and fell backward. The toilet is in a corner so I couldn't fall far and I didn't - I thought I was alright until about 2 days later when everything went nuts.

    So while the knee is great everything else is hurting but being home it is all improving rapidly.
