Uh if it helps at all the bank cancelled my card and I live away from home most of the time and I had to go in and get a darned temporary card Christmas Eve and it was just unfortunate. Because I hate entering the bank ever but I was like, "I don't think being without money would be good."

So, it was quite an aggravation if it helps at all. Like I said, prepaid card.... And also, you are going to want another. Maybe not the exact same one, but yes, you too will purchase another Dicodes. Someday. LOL.

I am also having A Time with mixing lost my syringes and was like, "How will I EVER find something accurate to measure 5 ml (my 10% of flavoring and I was cursing the lack of metric in this land then I checked out "how many mls in a teaspoon" and it was 4.92892159, and since I am fairly confident that is 10% of 50 ml because metrics are EASY darn it and I use wide mouth bottles (fine motor tremor) so take that, inches and teaspoons. LOL.
Nope. Just makes me feel bad for you.

I'm mostly at peace with the price, anyway. I used PayPal, and, having already subtracted the total from my balance, it's already almost gone from my head, too. Sure, I'll notice it when I balance my checkbook, but that won't be as much of a blow as an enormous credit card bill would've been.

The most annoying thing is that I remembered your having said that you'd bought from a Swiss retailer from my early days here and even thought to check the price when I was gearing up to buy the Mini. The price was slightly higher than CdV's, so, having forgotten about the discount I might get from Squape as a first-time customer, I went UK.

Oh well. Brits need my money more than the Swiss. Maybe I can deduct the extra fifty or so as a charitable contribution? (I jest--one of the advantages of being on disability is that I don't pay taxes. [And one of the advantages of leading a very quiet life because of said disability is that I spend so little money in general that I can afford to buy vape gear. :banana:])

That should be improved here. People on disability do pay taxes like everyone else. Thankfully, hubby has a lighter load.

They tax you on your RETIREMET too, and that money was ALL tax money that has been STOLEN.

it's not right. The only good thing about Social Security is it operates at 1% of it's overall budget, at least last I checked. It is LEAN.

Everything else good about it has been destroyed oh HOLY GOD especially the medical part. MOST OF ALL THAT. I really learned a whole ton about HOW they gouge you, I used to wonder why people never got part B but like, it may actually be cheaper to use the Walmart 4 dollar list and the dang.... "Send me free meds because I have no money" programs. I learned a lot about those during my brief ish stay. It was.... ugh.

Buses in Buenos Aires are really mean, and my father used to laugh at how I presented face with a Renault 4L that I drove in my twenties. It's not the size of the car, is the attitude! But, If I may, a big car is always better to have. Here, the bigger it is, the harder it is to park. So, smaller SUV are the norm. Plus, I don't have to battle to get out of the seat.
I love the Mustang. One of the first visits to Detroit, just before moving, was the Ford plant, and we visited the Mustang line. That's when I decided I would become an industrial engineer. I was 16 :p
I’m in farm country, so I have to share the roads with farm equipment, and everyone else driving trucks, plus semi trailers. Parking is not a big deal. Nobody dies parking. If I ding something it’s no tragedy. Since there are more big vehicles on the roads, our lots generally accommodate them.

I’ll say this though, if we had busses, I’d be on one. No way I’d drive if there were an alternative.

Ordered some juice today.. I vape plain vg/pg base so nothing fancy... Snagged a liter (1000 ml) of 70/30 3mg base for normal vaping, a 120ml bottle of 70/30 6mg base for my Orion Pod and a couple of empty 120ml bottles... Grand total was like $27.... Should last me about 4 months...

Still procrastinating on the Dicodes 21700 and the Taifun. Not sure I want to drop $500 for them both considering I just dropped over $400 on the Dani Mini Box and the Dvarw. Both are still in stock and my finger keeps hovering over the checkout buttons.....

Someone tell me why the double barrel is so expensive? Because I love efun.top and I have heard "awesome" and also "wretched" so I need to be told why I want/need to buy one. They look cool and indestructible is that it? Are they really?

Anna
10 orders from efun. not a problem with 1. have to check site for tracking number though as they don't send it automatically.
got the tac 21 (big brother of the DB) and i've dropped it 6ft onto concrete and into the bath (neither recommended). solid and functional. no fluff.

See above. Without it, I and a large number of other people would be in serious trouble.

Part B is major medical. Part D is drugs. I'm screwed for the rest of my life because I didn't get that right away, thinking that, if/when I need meds, I could get those cheap Walmart drugs. When I switched to an Advantage plan, which does include drug coverage, I got dinged hard and forever for the omission. I had no idea Part D was compulsory. My own fault--I didn't study the manual closely enough--but it honestly never occurred to me that I would need to pay for drug coverage when I use no prescriptions.
