    had the squonk version that went to @Letitia and i seem to remember she didn't get on with it. liked my paranormal but can't say that i miss it terribly after a month parted from it.
    Get along fine with the bf, just don't use it often. Did sell the para 250c within a month of getting it. Sadly I agree there is nothing LV or their satellite brands that I have any interest in.

    i probably use ni80 75 percent of the time. always in my mechs because of said quick ramp up. quite easy to wind with too. not overly springy.

    I use Ni80 on all my non round wire builds. Means you can use claptons etc on single cell mech squonkers with a nice fast ramp up.

    Thanks I have gotten better it doesn’t eat me up as much as it used to. But still the thing with the new car years ago led her to eventually go into my room while I was at work and take some of my medication then lay down on a farm next door waiting to die. Lucky it was only suboxone I was on at the time for my opioid addiction which is a little harder to OD on what with the ceiling effect it has on dosage.

    It just makes me nervous for what’s coming when this starts
    Ricky I could tell you many stories about someone who was once in a "situation" very similar to yours, me. I'll skip that…

    Nothing will ever change until you make a change. For You and only You.

    Sometimes that means walking away … which IS a form of Love. Truth and Fact.

    You are living your Life and are in no way responsible for your Mother. Or for her well being or contentment. She is. Quite frankly she is looking to you to be her knight in shiny armor as were your other family members. No one knew what to do with her or how to deal with her so they laid it all in your lap. Not at all cool to do to You.

    As long as you continue to be her knight in shiny armor NOTHING will ever change. Think long and hard about that Ricky.

    By continuing to be her provider you are enabling her to continue her ways. It's a nasty vicious circle and very toxic.

    I've been there and done that. After years, I walked away for my own sanity and well being. Was it hard to do? Yeah because it was my Mom and No because I knew in my gut this was the best for All.

    If/when you do that she will kick, scream and act out big time, so be it. Let it be. What she does is on her, not you. Don't fall for ridiculous guilt trips, they are not real, we create them.

    Dealing with a parent who is like that is very rough and it WILL take a toll on you, eventually.

    You Mom needs to learn how to live her Life and be responsible for herself, all by herself. Perhaps you should consider putting your Mom in a mental health facility. We did that with mine, more than once.

    I hope that helps buddy.

    I'm on Tamiflu. Got it the day I felt the flu coming on. Still feel like crap, but I should be better faster.



    And what did the guy win? Must've been for a mech mod.
    I may go pick some of that up.

    What a little cutie! I hope she’s alright. When we’re stressed, they’re stressed, hopefully her issues aren’t anything more than that.

    Thanks she has gone to a mental health facility a few times including when she was on her I want a new car trip.

    I don’t even have any where to live if I moved out from my mothers right now though. Even now that I’m stable and off drugs I could never get anyone to rent to me. I tried and had money for a place willing to pay 1000 bucks or more a month for a bachelor suite or anything in Victoria. But there is no housing around here anywhere so I ended up homeless.

    When I got clean and met My girlfriend she was able to find our apartment because she has owned a home before and had references. But I couldn’t stay there after she died it was too hard. So I moved back with mom.

    I used to take it really hard and even as a Kid would try so hard to get her happy. Eventually I seen if she was depressed and crying wanting to die usually an influx of money would cheer her right up. I feel bad the way my dad screwed her up and even what I’ve put her through what with the drugs and such. But I was always there for her helping her in some way.

    I do realize now I can’t make her happy. It’s hard to ignore though

    Looks like good news! Haley will be ok and mommy needs to stop giving her turkey which has too much fat in it even the white meat.

    So be careful if your dogs have sensitive stomachs this week!!!

    Bland diet is all she gets for several days.

    Sometimes I feel like such a rotten mom.

    D'oh, I just had one of those, "hey, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" moments. I received my Google Stadia code today, so I set up my account along with Bungie crossplay and was having a spin around Destiny 2 while happily dripping some The One Strawberry.

    I was bouncing around, checking input lag and whatnot and accidentally reached for the wrong bottle when it came time to re-drip. I immediately knew I'd made a mistake on the first vape. I was like hey, then heeey this is delicious! I'd mistakenly grabbed the Cookie King Choco Creme and dripped it on top if The One Strawberry. What I ended up with is a strawberry dipped in milk chocolate. A really good one, too. I'll make a note to myself for when I start DIYing...
