OM gee what a coincidence. I got my water bill last Thursday and opened it Friday morning. It went from $50ish in April to 80ish in May. This month it was $241! OMG. I was a nervous wreck all day Friday. Had a neighbor come help me and called the the rental company I rent from. That was the only good part of the story because I got to call someone else and say "come fix this" rather then incur the expense myself. Of course the plumber could not get here until today and it was determined to be the pressure relief valve. I am a renter and this was out of my control. Who should pay for this?
The water company did tell me they would adjust a 30 day amount but that is all. The $30ish overage on the April bill, looks like it will be mine to just eat. Most concerning is the meter was read on June the 2nd and today is the 17th so we are talking about another 15 days of a huge bill. Does anyone know who is supposed to pay this? The water is in my name so I am responsible but shouldn't the owner or the rental office pay?
I agree with @ShowMeTwice Whoever the property owner is, they are respnsible for the repair and bill. I would re-read the lease agreement just to make sure.

Wow you did a great job of it. That looks fantastic. Yes exactly, and thank you, it did take me a bit to get used to the odd button position. My muscle memory kept getting it wrong with my Luna. Too funny but happy I am not the only one! ;)
Me too... I thought it was because I vape leftie. It’s an odd button position, which I forgive because it’s beautiful :wub:

But then the thing drives you so completely insane for hours on end that you want to pretend you've never bought it, or toss it in a drawer to be lost forever, or in moments of real anger throw it out of an open window?

Yes. With every new RTA I get. I usually get over it though. There is one... I forget the name.... I have not even TRIED to build it yet because it's so freaking complicated. I will save it for a day when I really NEED a good fit of "Why am I here? Why am I not dead?" Etc.

Sorry for your misfortune. LOL.

ALSO no bullet. I hate goats. I hate this guy. He's a ...... Also, my husband pointed out something in his smarmy little email that like, he acted like my "pay raise" was for my WORK HARRASSMENT and NOT my work location in a dangerous out of the way place, where it's hard to obtain stuff. We will be dealing with THAT at our mutual meeting. What a CENSORED. Such a guilt move.

I have decided (I am fairly sure my "lunch on Thursday" did not register with Evil Doc he was kind of a mess.... I'm not REMINDING him. I am not asking him to read the rest of my email. I will put it on MY schedule.

Then, I will email the team re our Monday conversation that a) Evil doc did not READ the email I specifically crafted for him and did not show up at our Thursday luncheon for which I waited a half hour. I will also CALL out Head Doc on his manipulative little crap things.

YOU DON"T DO ME LIKE THAT this guy is gonna be sorry. Both of them.

But I don't want a bullet I want to watch a GOAT eat this ..... for like, 3 days. Maybe video it.

Sorry, that was a bit harsh I think. STILL. I am not PAID MORE for work Harassment. I am paid more because if the wall ever happens it will be a MESS and I have to rely on Amazon for many of my actual NEEDS.

Grrr.

Good evening all..

I didn't buy anything but Fathers day gifts this last week or so, and none involved anything related to vaping. So no input for the thread.

Except, pineapple eliquid gives me heartburn - for real.. lol. I avoid it as a result.

@chanelvaps ---> I managed to find the "California Tentants and Landlords Rights and Responsibilities" PDF on the California gov't web site. I haven't looked at it all yet but it has tons of info. Might help.
I don't know if the PDF got uploaded (guess I'll see in a sec) here is the link just in case:

I am a southpaw too. At first it was awkward but I got used to it quickly. Tried with my right hand and that is just a total no go lol. I am now very used to it leftie. The Luna's are gorgeous. I do see a second Luna coming home to papa soon.

BTW the "Nectarcus" recipe is very good. Letting it steep for a few more days before trying a couple ideas. It's a nice smooth nectarine/peach custard with a little zing to it. The FA Custard Premium is nice in it (not at all eggy IMO). That is my new favorite custard. Also have FLV Cream + FLV Smooth Vanilla backing up the custard. Think I gave you my starting recipe, don't remember. I may have to break down and buy a bottle just to see, and know, what you are saying about it and to try and improve what I have from there.

Edit: I just ordered a bottle of Nectarcus from Coil Vapes

I should send you a bit of the original.... I *think* there’s a touch of strawberry in there. A more refined palate than mine ;) could probably nail it (hint hint)

I just ordered a bottle before you posted. That way I will know EXACTLY what you know.
Then I am on a mission big time! ;)
Really want to nail this one if you know what I mean. I can see where strawberry would help and I just added that to my notes. Don't know about the refined palate part, that had me laughing. :lol:

Dinner in 9 minutes! That is when I turn on "Grey's Anatomy." I have definitely gotten to the part I didn't get to at first. I am PROUD of me for halting watching that show after two seasons "in the day."

I am also glad I didn't because I SWEAR there are 15 seasons and it is one of the only things that like, is keeping me somewhat sane. Every time I turn it on, I immediately spot some medical malpractice. I'm always like "Well, I'm not a CHARACTER on that, so life could be worse."

ALSO, my husband doesn't stare at me like "Dr. McDreamy" stares at Meredith Grey. He must have extremely low self esteem.

She must too. Because she is ONLY having abandonment issues and banging him and then running off being like "We are not together."

If my husband looked at me that way even ONCE, I would like, mention that I would stab his eyeballs out with hot pokers if he did it again. I am a fair person who like, does not have abandonment issues, and if I am having sex with you on a routine, regular basis, I am happy to call you my bf/spouse whatever not be all like, "Oh, we didn't just DO that gotta run."

I also KNOW I don't have abandonment issues because like my pdoc was asking me about "how it was for me and the husband to be apart." (He always DOES it because he treats BOTH of us, and he wants my brutal (IDK if the husband's are brutal, I don't ask) assessment of what is happening. LOL.

I told him this long convoluted story about something terrible the husband did and how instead of fighting I just drove calmly back to my other home, and when I got home, I confronted him about it. Heh. Then I was like, "And I guess it was good because like, if he had lied, I was gonna divorce him." My doc was like. "Really?"

And I was like "Yes. I don't care about some evil done like 8 years ago but if I find out in the NOW and I have proof and you LIE, well you deserve to go be a liar on your own. It would have told me he did not change."

Bah. That sounds a bit too much like a Grey's Anatomy plot, but trust me it was entirely drama free. Etc.

Okay food! LOL

Pretty sure it’s based off his Dis Won (vanilla custard) that he’s made for about 10 years, so probably cap v1?

@chanelvaps ---> here is the link to the Georgia Landlord Tenant Handbook (PDF). Take a look at the pages I marked below all having to do with repairs and who is responsible by Georgia law. Also search for 'repair' and/or 'repairs' in the PDF. Georgia law supersedes any lease in place.

Georgia Landlord-Tenant Handbook | Georgia Department of Community Affairs

see pages 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 23, 24

Pg11 The Landlord must keep electric, heating and plumbing in working order.

Pg24 Failure to Repair: You feel that you are owed money for the landlord’s failure to repair, then you should assert a failure to repair counterclaim.

I interpret pg24 as your landlord being on the hook for "all" including the difference in the water bill. Not your fault and any charges taken on by you should be passed on to the landlord for reimbursement.

Well, my sight-unseen red Luna arrived today. I'm pretty pleased with the colors. Here are the various sides, out of the box:

View attachment 821963

It's pretty dry, and has a few rougher areas, so the sanding begins before working up through the micro mesh ...
Forgive me, I’m a little confused. It seems like people do an awful lot of finishing on these mods. Is that part of the allure? A mod that requires a final finishing by the end user?
ETA: BTW, it’s lovely

    I realized I'll need more sandpaper, and probably some pore-filler for a couple spots to do it right ... and I couldn't wait --- so I did some light sanding, some oil, some micro-mesh and a wax rub and it's plenty good enough for now (especially if you don't hold it at oblique angles to the light). I think I definitely lucked out with the colors/patterns for a blind "red" order.

    Not sure what RDA I'll use with it, I just threw on a Galaxies from another device and I'm getting acquainted with the "odd" button position:

    Weeee, I'm a lunatic now!

    You've always been a lunatic ;) but holy moly that Luna is stunning :hubba::hubba::hubba::wub: and it's probably me hallucinating but I can see a gray penguin on Antarctic ice shelf in it :lol:

    Got vapemail :D

    And yep @Vape Muppet plenty of VG is needed ;) I got the deck out finally but after it's bubble bath it's getting coated again in vg.

    This is the satin grey coppervape clone of the hussar project x RTA:

    I just changed my order to get Nectarcus and Dis Won (vanilla custard). I want to taste what he has going on with both. 10 years, CAP v1 probably ??? IDK. I can't wait to try them both.

    Have you had Dis Won???
