Does BB still go on about les bébés phoques? When I lived in Paris in 1976/77, she was always on television being sad about them.
Yes she's known for her work to stop animal cruelty...she's gone a bit reclusive and weird actually but she still comes out from time to time.....not that i'm particularly interested :)

Hey, one theory about my surname is that it derives from the word santonica, Latin for "wormwood." I've always felt I should to try absinthe sometime as a result.
Don't they actually banned the real original absinthe because it had something in it that would gradually poison you....not sure what but not good though :(

I haven't seen anything from Origin vape in a few years. Wasn't even sure they were still in business. Always carried a nice line of stuff especially stuff like dna mods.
I mainly bought Kayfun's and KF spare parts from Origin. Eric is excellent to deal with.

You always seemed to tolerate my incorrigible ways pretty well through the years.
I stand by my previous statement.:)
Skeebo I always thought you were a gem and I did not even know about the turtles all that time!

I bough all these drip tips and decided I like the ones that came with the atties more except I put them all in a bag so who knows what goes where. That should be fun lol!
I have a ziplock FULL of DTs. Funny how picky I can be when there’s choices :lol:.

I guess I’ll try to build a few atties with my bum thumb and possibly mix a few juices up if my hand isn’t hurting too much.

Other than that I have no plans. I hate holidays but hope everyone has a good and safe time.

Rah rah rah.
I do hope your hand gets to feeling better.
Red Sox and Blue Jays are on later... for you. Brewers and Reds here in a bit.
Perfect day for chillin' and dripping.
I agree with you on holidays. I'll match your "rah rah rah" and raise you three. :lol:

I'm thinking that you've just got to go and pick her up :(

But I do understand though....one of our cats when I was a child (we had three) was rescued from outside a chip shop...thin as a rake....she was eating a squashed chip off the floor and that was the last straw.....she was caught and back at the house that night :)
If she has not done better after the weekend I might just do that.

That's nice to hear and a beautiful place to be from also.

If you ever come over to see relatives here let me know and we could meet up for coffee :)

Thanks for the thought, in years past I would have loved to. But the word "travel" is no longer included in my vocabulary or dictionary (it's not my choice, issues run my so called life now days and distance traveling is not an option).

I’ve tried absinthe. It’s incredibly strong. And I don’t mean, like, tequila strong. It’s as strong as tequila although I can do shots of tequila. It’s so intense though. I can sip maybe 1/4 tsp. Not saying I don’t like it but WOW. There’s nothing like it.

The Parisien's can be holier than thou and are known to look down on the French from elsewhere but they're not all like that....you probably bumped into a few bad guys...

It's very important to at least make an effort to speak the lingo and even if it's terrible they still like you for trying....it's common manners when you think about it?

When I spoke French they were mostly quite friendly. They would take the time to help you get the pronunciation right. And I'm sure it's changed anyway, 1980 was a long time ago. There were a lot of german tourists around and to my surprise they were treated like royalty by the French. They must have been big tippers.

I remember reading once that the government made all the taxi drivers in Paris take a training course to teach them not to be rude to foreigners because they were worried it was hurting tourism. Some American cities might benefit from that.

No surprise, it’s quite popular here. A link detailing modern use...

I wanted to try it when I was in Paris. Several people at work said they would bring a bottle in and let me try it but it never happened. Supposedly you could still get the real thing on the black market.

Supposedly it's the thujone in the wormwood. But that may be a myth.

Holla shinies, I skimmed and looked at all the beautiful things, and I cannot catch up.

I bought batteries. I am happy with my choices, I now have enough brown LGs so I can have some rotating and resting through ALL my 2 battery mods and like I got 3 more 21700 mods. IMRbatteries.com my preferred seller were having a major sale. You can't beat their sales.

Will I ever live down the coil thing? Do I need to add it tom my sig? LOL.

First week of work was hard but just mainly all that change and whatnot. I got a written "performance improvement plan" and like, I DON'T GET EVIL DOC. MOST of it is AIMED at HIM like 90%.

We are supposed to do a morning "huddle."(I hate that phrase it always makes me think I am practicing football not medicine.) He said, "I don't even look at those charts because I'm too busy and some don't show up."

So I was all like, mouth agape, "Blink blink blink… um so would you like me to ask an MA then, as you hand off your patient?" Then I went to all the charts and travelled backward in time until I reached a doctor who like documented stuff,. so I would know something.

His MAs never had any info as he never tells them anything either.

I updated him after ever patient. This is in the plan.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND if I was on a performance improvement PLAN well,. I would follow it, at least SOME of it SOMETHING.

LOL I don't get this guy. Perhaps tomorrow I will do the same thing and get similar answers and that way I at least have it on tape. I mean, if at the meeting he is all "Anna did not huddle with me in the morning." I really need to get him to refuse again ON TAPE. Plus all the other madness. Sigh.

Then, I will email evil doc about our process and ask him for feedback if he has any.

This is pretty much all I can do to protect myself. If he says "IBH" is working fine, I am most happy to agree with him because I just want my life TO CHILL. JESUS an his holy ghost and oh hey, God too, please protect me from this person. LOL.

Otherwise, things are fine. Do keep in mind I'm on enough benzos to fell a horse. My doc is not gonna be happy but what can I do? As a rapid metabolizer, Klonopin is like Sweet Tarts to me. Not valium. However (and I don't know why either) I rapi metabolize stuff to sort of a particular half-life. Longer half life meds (like OMG Subxone that was the worst detox I ever had I had to take like 2 months off work and I was down to less than 1 mg) seem to hit me as if I were a baby kitten and well, someone's feeding me arsenic on crackers.

I plan to get a sense of where that half life IS, looking back. I am sick of it.

So I want to buy THIS: YAY OR NAY?

I think it is BEAUTIFUL:

Oh heck, I'm getting it, I deserve it. LOL

To my knowledge it was banned in some places, not everywhere, but unbanned again for the most part. But even so, being illegal never stopped people from making it.

And I'm glad you got that mod.

I should make some. I have almost all the ingredients already.
