We're iced in. Yesterday's rain and sleet left everything all slick. Temperatures never got above freezing. No more precipitation but it's going to be just as slick today as well. Currently it's 19 degrees with a high predicted of 33.

I hope you can at least make it to the mailbox.

@FranC , just came across sessiondrummer’s review on ELR… had you seen this?

“Raspberry, Blue Type (SSA) 1% (2-22-22) – Does anybody REALLY know exactly WHAT a Blue Raspberry is ?? Hehe, probably not, BUT, there’s QUITE a history around it, and it actually involves Red No. 2, and Blue No. 1 1. But, it gets deeper, and it’s allegedly based on the Rubus leucodermis 1. Yes, that’s the facts Jack. OK, with all of that “stuff” outta the way, I’ve never really had a Blue Raspberry, that’s actually tasted LIKE a Raspberry, but more often a berry medley, with an almost cotton candy finish. This one was no different. Now I’m no closer to fully identifying exactly WHICH berries were in the medley than before, but suffice it to say, this one was good. Somewhat sweet, and tart, and a tastful, dark(er) berry medley. It did indeed have that almost “kissed by cotton candy” note in there, and the finish really drove it home for me. It was actually quite good, full and present at 1%, and again that speaks to the stronger nature of most of these Sobucky flavors. Even if you TOO cannot fully define a Blue Raspberry, let’s just say this one HAS it, IS it, and you’ll ENJOY it. Nothing off-putting, and convincingly “blue” (but no, it’s not really blue, it’s clear). Come get your BLUE on, and let Sobucky take you there. Easily placed @ 9.1/10.”

    I mixed one of SMT’s recipes to try. I was trying to decide if I wanted to keep my other Dvarw going. I decided yes, so I need a mix for it. I took two out so I could put two in…LOL. I will need two more but the tanks are full right now. I will put the Boxx away when empty.

    In the 90's they showed reruns of Dallas at 10pm every night and I used to watch it before I went to bed. I had missed it when it first came out. Every commercial break was a long promotion of something called the Wonder Sponge. It was a dishwashing sponge, instead of being rectangular the long sides were concave. They were only available by calling this number right now. They had ordinary people gushing about how great it was, I would never have believed the different shape would make such a huge difference, it makes washing the dishes FUN.

    Then I read an article about commercials. They said advertisers studied the demographics of people who watched each show and tailored the ads to match the viewers. I didn't want to be the type of person who called the number and bought wonder sponges so I stopped watching Dallas.
    I can still hear their voices now..... especially Larry Hagman....

    PS. I haven't told my therapist :D

    I did see that. I do enjoy reading his reviews but I have to take them with a grain of salt because we don’t always have the same tastebuds,

    Also I did mix it with my creamy custard base. Will try it in a couple more days.

    Knots Landing and Dallas are two shows that changed the trajectory of my life. One week mom and I were watching Magnum P.I. and Simon & Simon together, discussing the upcoming release of G.I. Joe's new action playset. And then the next week, she's watching Dallas and Knots Landing alone, and I'm in my room rolling joints.

    I got one new machine in this morning and have finished it already. One of our salesmen is bringing in another one so I should at least be able to pretend that I'm busy.
    Better than nothing.

    I haven’t vaped any chocolate recently so I picked a very simple chocolate mix for my second Dvarw. Only three flavors, INW,yes we cheesecake,VT chocolate mousse and my rare use of marshmallow. I was afraid of it being too sweet but so far is ok.
