The only problem I have had after the update is that I can not upload photos. I have my own server, so if there is a forum problem I can upload to it and add photo link to the forum. It's been years since I logged in there, finding the password can be a challenge, it's as messy in my paperwork as on the mixing desk hehe

I finally got the baseboard heater behind my bed closed. The rest of it is a tad open. In order to get that part closed I had to reach down in between my headboard and mattress but I got it.
This thread got a little crazy last night, but I enjoyed reading, because here in Satan-tonio it hardly ever gets cold enough to even turn on the heat, but after the February 2021 stormageddon, I never, ever again wanted to be in bed in my coat under a pile of quilts and blankets during a power outage for days. So when it was over and I had internet again, I bought an antique kerosene heater, had it restored, rust removed, repainted with high heat resistant paint (engine paint). The guy who restored it brought it back to me with a new metal quart can of kerosene. I could smell the kerosene without even opening the can, and that was when I knew I never, ever ever ever wanted to burn kerosene indoors. So I put flicker flame Christmas lights in the kerosene heater instead, and stored the font/burner separately. Then, on the only really cold night we had this fall, sometime in November, instead of turning on the heat, I took the xmas lights out of the kerosene heater and put three cans of 6 hour caterers chafing heat in the bottom. It kept my bedroom warm all night. It has a mild smell, but you get used to it, and nowhere near as choking as the smell of kerosene.

Just posting in case it helps anybody. You can find the old kerosene heaters everywhere, at garage sales, thrift shops, on Etsy and Ebay, everywhere. Millions of them were made. Then in the electric era they were collected by sportsmen for their deer blinds, ice fishing shacks and rustic cabins. Now preppers collect them, but they still are plentiful.

    I had a follow up for my VNS study appointment that took me all afternoon. It's an hour drive away just to answer a bunch of questions about how I'm doing. Same questions, over and over again. I'm supposed to be getting paid for these visits, but I haven't gotten any money in a while. The study coordinator is going to check into that for me, so I should be getting some extra money soon. Yay! I could buy vape gear with it, but there's nothing I really need ATM. I think I'll put it into savings for a vacation fund. My mom wants to buy an RV as soon as she sells the old house (not the one she's living in), then we're going to take a trip to the Grand Canyon.

    I posted a pic in snails yesterday morning....I did a copy/paste function, and it worked. For what it's worth.
    Of course, YMMV. This all seems to vary a bit per user/configuration.

    The link idea is a good one.
    For those having pic-posting problems, and don't know how to do links manually (Tor R obviously knows)...
    The format is to type the following:
    [IMG]https://thelinkURL[/IMG]
    Including the brackets. Replace "thelinkURL" with the full path name (URL) to the file.

    Just be wary of Carbon monoxied, don't want to wake up dead.

    There are so many wonderful places to visit on that trip, you could take a year and not see it all. But you do not want to go in June, July , or August ............it gets way past warm that time of year.

    Net Tobacco all the time with me.
    I have not been fond of synthetic tobacco flavor, maybe because I did not try many though.
    Vaped Hangsen tobaccos all the time when I started vaping.

    Good morning. Only plan today is to make it through the day. I wanted to get the new flavors mixed last night to steep for sft but ran out of time after messing around with the review samples.

    Review samples mess up mixing once again. LOL. Maybe you’ll have better luck tonight.
