I gave my cat Gracie catnip flavored Bubbles for Christmas last year. She just sat there with a catitude look on her face. Not impressed. At all.

I know that look all too well. “This is not chicken wrapped in bacon!”. Catitude or not, Gracie is a beaut

My dicodes is making me happy, no buyers remorse and no pics (yet) because jeez I was at work until 8 last night. My observation is that a) if a doc says "Can you just help me for 10 minutes" at 5:05, well you still can't refuse because it is serious, but it really sucks. Ended up a crisis team moment which you never want as they are slow as snails. They wanted ME to do all the work, because I mentioned I was an LCSW. The lady was like, "Can't YOU do it?" I was like "Yes, I KNOW HOW to do it, but I am afraid I am in a primary care setting and if I did, well I am not credetialed for that. If I did,, a) I would have no time for my Actual work and b) like, I would be fired."

At about 5 to 8 I was wishing I HAD done it myself, they were slow as snails. The doc had a kiddo dance recital to go to, I would have felt really bad not staying, so I did. It sucked. Gotta get ready here shorlly. Etc. It is Thurstday, though.

Good morning shiny people!

Had a couple days to play with my new tanks. Something went awry with the Solomon 2 and it tastes terrible, chemical. I need to wash it and try again. The Intake is still giving me grief, so I put it aside. I’ll goof with it more after I’m done enjoying the other two.

Love love love the Horace. It’s just so easy to deal with. Easy to build ( even I nailed it first try!) easy to assemble and fill and not leaky at all, even when not upright, because in a pocket it does go sideways.

Love the Juggerknot clone too, although it’s a little weird to assemble and I’m on the fence about that side fill. It’ll either grow on me or become a real frustration. But I will say this, the flavor is enormous

I built all of these with 26 Gauge SS round at .5 ohms, so the Jug being a dual comes out to .26. It’s almost too intense and i can taste imbalance and other off-ness in the juice better in this tank than my rda.

The deck is fairly easy and it’s got air like the Lincoln Tunnel, although you can close it as tight as you like.
The OG is about $100 and this one I think was $25 from fasttech. If I’d splurged on the OG I would not have been disappointed, but I don’t find anything not to love about the knockoff.

It does look kind of huge on the minikin, but it needs a heavy enough mod to reduce the odds of falling over, and if it does fall, the tank only overhangs on the front.

On a more personal note, I need to brag. My furnace pilot went out this summer- always just left it on - when the plumber came to do my pool line. I forgot all about that at the time. So I tried to light it but it wouldn’t light. Last winter the motor went out and my BIL replaced it, but before he did, it was wobbling really hard. Shook a wire loose. I just happened to spot it, got it tightened and it fired right up.

Nobody was available to help so I’d have had to call a pro to do that. Saved myself a couple hundred dollars I bet. Probably not too impressive to some, but anything gas scares me to death lol.

Jai haze drone review is up. Watching to see if he says anything about the door




And I’m with you. In a post profile world I’m like why did I even need a dual battery dna250c squonker.


Well that was quite a rave review. There was only the mention of the door feeling flimsy but talk about a "you have to buy this" review. Not something I think I've ever seen from him. I guess I'll have to decide soon. I don't do pre-orders but this might be one if stocks are going to be very low.

Still doesn't sound perfect but it does sound like a very good product. Besides, the doors are interchangeable with the original if you can find any.

I bought some catnip treats recently, and I'm still to work out what the deal is with cats and catnip. Some go completely mental over it, some are confused, some just ignore it.

Pearl will do anything for it. Rico, on the other hand, goes crazy, bashing my hand with his head, purring, but can't seem to join the dots between the treats and the aroma. I've literally got to feed them to him - then he gets it. OTOH, he will eat ham, cheese, anything out the palm of my hand.

Weird.
I picked up a catnip plant once. It was in a fancy bag with just a small opening at the top. I left it on the bench on the deck and my cat managed to get his paw in the hole and pluck off most of the leaves. Then I put it up on a table. He got into it again and pulled the whole plant out by the roots and chewed it up. Figured if I got another one I would have had to build a cage over it.

I thought it was a bit biased and not his usual style of pointing out even the most minuscule of flaws. To which we know he does with EVERYTHING! Also feel his comment on “You need to buy this” is more based on the fact Lost Vape ran out of stock with the previous version apposed to promoting this is a great product. Not saying it is bad, just an observation. This vid just doesn’t feel like a typical Jai Haze review.

You need to get the good stuff but even then there is no guarantee your kitties will take to it. Given you’re just a skip and jump away from the Netherlands, perhaps go check out the kitty café’s in Amsterdam and pick up some Cat Crush catnip. And just an FYI – as cats mature they become lactose intolerant, so keep that cheese treat to a minimum or you may end up with a sick kitty.

Kittens could get in that in half a second. I'd have to hang it from the ceiling! The adults would just knock it over. Think I'll just stick with the grinch strategy. :lol:

Even hanging from the ceiling you are still not safe from curious kitties.

I know. I've never seen him ever do a review like that. I agree with the buy now before it sells out in his video, but he still gave it a high score for him. I don't always agree with him, but once you cut through the act, his reviews are usually helpful.

I know his prior review yesterday of the Monarch was also a little off for him. Not sure if it was because of how he received it, no matter how much he said it didn't, but giving a free ride to an RDA at that price point with a marked up barrel like that and the ease of a hard short with the screw positions was also out of character.

I'm definitely not a fan of his, but for him to give a $200-$400 rda a 5 is not giving it a free ride. He gave it points for the insulator and airflow design and said don't buy it to use if you can find one. I also think the fact that someone sent it as a bd gift played a part. When something is garbage, he has no problem saying it's garbage. For him to give the Drone an 8.5-8.8 says a lot. I don't like the guy, but he knows his stuff and has no problem calling companies out.

I actually like Jai’s videos simply because he does identify the smallest of flaws, which many reviewers neglect. He can be overdramatic about some of them, but I do not watch reviewers for their theatrical performance. Just felt this video was lacking his usual take on products. Even the cuts seemed out of line with his usual videos. And if in fact the Utlem version is made out of PC, you’d think he, being the ultimate Ultem fanboy, would be able to identify that. Not saying anything against the Drone, just feel this video was a bit biased. I take his and every reviewers ratings with a healthy grain of salt. In the end the product has to please me not the reviewer.

That cat is an Olympian! So my little tricksters figured out how to escape the living room and now have access to the entire house. Wasn't 10m before the first yowl for help. One was behind the bathroom door and thought itself trapped.

Vaping related news...the 21700s didn’t reach town until 8:25 this morning so may not make it to the house today.:(
