That sounds interesting!
HI TrollDragon, I haven't looked into this BUT you may be able to order now it reads like there is new legislation.

Thanks but it's still a grey area for end users, retailers and wholesalers play by different rules.

Spent all day Saturday in the ER with what appears to be a gall bladder flare up. Started Saturday morning around 3am and I finally went to the ER at 9am. Left at 4pm without any surgery, a little Nitro calmed everything down and an in depth Ultrasound of the gall bladder didn't reveal anything drastic. I am going to have to keep an eye on it.

Nursing student tried twice to install an IV port and get blood from my massive veins... Told him your done grinding away with that 16ga end and to find someone who can actually do it. :glare: Said he should probably do a shift or three with the phlebotomist crew who are absolutely amazing, but that is what they do day in / day out.

So I guess I'm going to need to watch what I eat... :( Sausage Gravy comes off the menu... :(
Please do take care of yourself. Wonder if you would have minded so much if the nurse was a pretty female?;)

Will Do!

The one that finally did the IV was a pretty nurse. :D Still wouldn't have mattered though , digging a 16ga catheter around in your arm is not pleasant.

Dude! Couldn't of found any 14's in the bin? Go big or go home they say. :w00t:

Nah. Those 14G are way bigger. Sized like wire. 18 or 20 would have felt way better.

Bacon vapes are like gravity.

That means they are also INEVITABLE.

I have not vaped the bacon, but ever since my first pregnancy, like, I couldn't even stomach the smell of it cooking anymore, it just seems to have turned on me. Not even bacon bits. LOL.

So I will not be vaping bacon, I have an impressive rate of not vomiting for an alcoholic while active and now in recovery.

I wouldn't mind a pair of anti grav boots, however.. LOL.

Feel better @TrollDragon ! Oh I hate when they're all digging at you. I also hate that the ONLY Urgent Care chain in Tucson has a habit of upbilling whenever they can. I go there (reluctantly) because they are COMPETENT. But one time the dude told me my chest X-ray would be covered, when I had my last pneumonia. I was like, "I don't think so, and I think we all know this is smoking related pneumonia." But I let them because I was like, "meh, my PCP can see if the small scar on my lung is growing." HOWEVER, ever since, like when I went in for my latest recluse bite, the chick was all like, "We need to put a heparin lock in you."

Granted, I have veins like ballerinas and gymnasts do due to the yoga, (I have been told by phlebotomists, "You are very vascular" in hushed tones like it's a skill, and I'm like "Yeah yeah, stop admiring them and stick me before I faint," LOL) I did not want a hep lock in my hand, a) it sucks and b) as I noted to the tech, "I drove here, if I need a steroid shot, that will not require an IV infusion of steroid, you can give me a SHOT," and she got all mad. So I knew it was "Up billing" and that is one thing Medicaid is NOT a fan of. It didn't stop the NP from coming in and going "Where is her hep lock, it's protocol" and it was the same guy so I answered, "Um, you owe me fifty dollars for my last X-ray actually, and I can guarantee that if you give me steroids, you can give me a shot."

They were not happy, but man, if it's grafty competence versus incompetent failure, I just go there and try to keep my wits about me, etc."

I would eat sausage gravy but that's a thing I'm not really aware of. Is it the white stuff that looks like hot lard?

Don’t know if anyone else posted, so forgive me if this is a repeat...
:shock::shock::shock: ANNOUNCING: How $16B in Tariffs Will Affect EightVape


Prices seem a little high already. Really curious about prices (online) on mods in the U.S.. Dealer in the Philippines (online) is selling Paranormal at about $115, Furyan $57.....

I noticed a seller on Ali Express has been lowering his price for the Paranormal to $103 for about 12 hours a day, then jacks them back up $149. Others on Ali keep lowering them to $113 (from $149) on during certain days or hours. The times seem to be day time hours in the U.S.. These include free shipping options.

I can't get certain things here, like a mod from JAC. An authentic KF would definitely get noticed by customs who would require an ICC which is about $40. If sent through FedEx you would end up paying anywhere from $30 to $100 more in additional charges on this side. You might be able to avoid this going through USPS first class registered, but even with additional tracking, the tracking don't work once out of the U.S.. You could get it in 30 days, you could get it in 5 months. Any type of express shipping through USPS (or any shipper) is definitely going to draw the attention of customs.

It"s southern thing like grits and sweet tea.in new york, i ask for sweet tea and they gave me packs of sugar.:eek:

Wait. How else do you sweeten tea? Yes, I'm from NY and puzzled how to otherwise sweeten it, well unless you mean Equal or Splenda.

Oh, you wanted iced tea. Not sweet tea. It's like ordering coffee. In NY regular means milk and sugar. You have to specify black if you don't that in it. And the bigger cup is a large regular.

And then there's Starbucks. I can never figure out what to order in there while my daughter is like "a grande soy latte with 4 shots".

Turns out it's shots of espresso after I asked her if 4 shots of whiskey was how she started every morning. That'll get you going

Pluid's tasty. It's a tank cracker so don't use it in your favorite Vivi Nova ;)
FW Bubba's Pig Sap is a decent maple bacon with no greasy mouthfeel but it's a super gunker on par with FW Yellow Cake & FW Banana Foster

Today is Ian Gillan from Deep Purple's 73rd birthday.
I feel old. I wore out multiple cassette copies of Made In Japan when I was a teen.

Same tariff will hit them with Blu, Vuse, and Mark 10. They may be in a position to eat the loss for some time to avoid price increases on the wholesale level. Juul maybe if they have the cash flow. The rest will be passed on through.
Honestly, I forgot about those.
