I needed this thread today, and all the laughs it gave me. My kitten Abby is at the vets with a head injury, We're not sure how it happened, but looks like she fell from a height and hit her head on the away down.

She's under vet care and treatment to reduce the brain swelling. Her prognosis completely depends on how bad an injury it was, and only time will tell if she makes it.

The latest update I got said that her temp is back to normal - was at 22c, but no other improvements.

Whatever the outcome - I've absolutely loved the past two months with her. I haven't laughed so many times in a day, as I have with her antics and character

Sorry to hear that. Well wishes from both myself and Zelda

Do you guy's have issue's with sourcemore then.
They've been real reliable in the UK.
Had a bit of a bump in the road with 3f last year when they ignored all the double barrel mods they sent out that wouldn't accept a battery but the power of the people overcame that.
Gearbest have generally been avoided for a while due to the poor choice of couriers they where using in the UK but sourcemore have been fairly reliable.

Find their forum here and on other sites. I looked into them when I started vaping a few years ago and the bad far outweighed the good. I look for consistent positive reviews.

Good morning Shiny's
@AngeNZ healing thoughts for sweet Abby and hugs for you both.

 

[DeloresRose]

Sorry to hear about Abby, @AngeNZ. So hard when our fur babies are injured.

Thanks for the kudos @NolaMel. Yes, it has been mine since July 2005 and is the newest Corvette that I have owned (the C1 Corvettes are my thing). It is a beautiful car and is a fun ride. But it draws far too much attention from classic/hot rod/muscle/'Italian Stallion' car aficionados and especially young groupies in this city. So it's kind of a PITA to drive in town, far more fun out on the open road. This 1973 'Elvis' Stingray Mako Shark started it's life in Vegas in late '72. I found it and had it shipped over 1000 miles back to Vegas. It got this custom bullet proof IMRON early 70's semi-psychedelic paint job when it was brand new (over 46 years ago). It's always been garaged and has been taken good care of all of it's life. So it's still near pristine, still roars like a tiger and by popular vote was selected worldwide to be Miss August in the 2006 International C3VR Corvette Calendar. These pictures do not do the 'ribbons' justice that have fine detail and many blended golds/reds/maroon/plum colors that stand out in the sun and draw your eyes to the cars body lines, high fenders, etc.

You’re making me drool!!! Yes, I would be one of those irritating people ogling it pitifully from the sidewalk as you passed. You need a mod custom painted to match her, or a red and burgundy stabwood!!! C1s should be everyone’s thing in my mind, such beauties .... but I do love the 67, 63’s split rear window is cool, but early 70’s is (to me) when the vette went from sports-car to supermodel. But, if you said I could pick any one from the museum in Bowling Green, I’d probably go for late 50’s, early 60’s. Sorry, drool session over, now y’all know my secret weak spot. Yes, definitely buy her a matching mod, with custom dt... she deserves it!

Praying for sweet Abby!!! Keep us updated please. I’ll worry enough for the both of us <hugs>

Double post. Grrrrr. ECF, get your IT people under control!!

 

[Skunk!]

Good morning all! So sorry to hear about Abby @AngeNZ Wishing her a speedy recovery.

 

[rosesense]

@AngeNZ I hope all goes well. Good thoughts heading your way.

I want my autocorrect under control. I'm so tired of having to proof and correct my posts after the fact it seems hardly worth the effort.


Did that come out ok?

 

[NolaMel]

Only shiny incoming this week is an Aegis Solo, the correct/missing tank from MFS...but, I see 4 packages on misinformed delivery, so who knows! Absolutely loving the asmodus oni, insane battery life compared to the aegis mini (same mAh). I vaped all day till bed with barely a dip on the battery meter. I can completely palm it, so nice stealth vape. Makes up for the missing Flint. I had it in Tennessee, but haven’t been able to locate it since. Hoping I left it at Mom’s when we stopped for the night on the way home. I know the Flint is tiny, but I’m not prone to lose things, and it’s driving me batty

Let me know how the that fire stick works, am considering one (good grief, yet another streaming device). I can cast a tab from chrome to the chromecast for prime viewing, but it's nowhere near the same as having the chromecast take over the stream (as it does for netflix, or youtube, or plex) -- at my place it stutters and freezes too often to be useful, but at a friends place it works pretty well from my chromebook (but not from her laptop).

The Fire Stick arrived and is working like a charm, watched 3 episode of the Grand Tour without any problem at all. I didn't try any other apps or adding any other services yet. My TV only has 3 HDMI ports so the seldom used Blu-Ray was disconnected, might need a HDMI hub down the road.

Installation was somewhat seamless. I had it powered from the USB port on the TV and got a warning about it not providing enough power, the Setup & Optimization bar was still moving so I left it to finish before using the included USB adapter. It kept repeating that procedure with each reboot, so after the second time through I plugged it into the power adapter. My Amazon/WiFi credentials were entered, it downloaded new firmware and went through the Setup & Optimization bit one more time before it was usable, took about half an hour in total.

Hit the button on the remote, told Alexa to resume the Gran Tour and it picked up where I left off with Clarkson in the Tesla Model X. The video was a bit grainy at the start but once everything got settled down it was crystal clear.

I never bothered with Amazon Music, we use the TV speakers (Apartment Dwellers) so sound isn't ideal, the wife might listen to it for background noise during the day though.


Now that I've purchased a Fire Stick, the Chromecast will get an update supporting Prime Video in the near future...

Probably more the Interwebz having issues than ECF.

Then the interwebz be picking on ECF, everywhere else seems fine . Or, there were more people trying to post at the same time than ECF’s servers little brain could handle.

That's a shame. Never let me down at all and fast delivery.

Thanks for the update. I've only two HDMI ports, so I'm ordering a hub with remote as well ... we shall see how well that all works together.

Glad that’s working ou for you! Personally, I’ve tries the other music apps and was constantly frustrated by them. Amazon music, when I type in who I want to hear, that’s what I get, not everything but. On the others I would ask for Tom Petty and they’d say, oh if you like Tom, I bet you’ll love Guns n Roses!

One of the cats just ate a ball of dryer lint.

That is all.

I've bought from Ecig-City more than a few times and never had a long wait at all, for shipment or delivery. If bad service was normal for them...I never would've posted about the Royal Hunter RDA's for $.55 and the Royal Hunter Mini RDA's for $.75 on the Random DIY thread yesterday. Wouldn't have linked to a company like that at all.

Well, I ordered my Royal Hunters from Ecig City on Sunday and I got the shipping email this afternoon. That's about as quick as it gets. Their site said the prep time for orders was 3 to 5 days and they did it in 2 days.
