Jealous about the dani mini, it’s on my must have list. What color did you get? Yay!!! for the artist being able to make one later. It’s a really cool looking comb!

I got PURPLE !!
It took me a loooong time to save up for it !

Well, it’s 85 here today, but still better than yesterday.

Yesterday, hottest day of the year, I went to my mom’s. She keeps it so hot in her apartment I was feeling ill. I brought her some bananas but they weren’t quite ripe and she gave me a hard time about that. It’s all the store had, and they’re ripe enough today, but anyway...

And I brought her some frozen cooked shrimp and cocktail sauce. She loves that and eats it whenever she gets a chance. So she asks me how am I going to cook it.

Mom. I brought this especially since it does not have to be cooked.

Well I don’t want to eat it like that! Can’t you grill it?

Yeah mom I’ll just drive it back home, go fill up my propane tanks, fire up the grill, and stand outside in 98 degrees and cook something that does not need to be cooked so I can have a heat stroke.

I don’t say any of that out loud.

I just said

Well then save it till you feel like it. It’s frozen, it’ll keep.

Then she says

If you make soup, you could bring some

I said

Yeah I do that when it’s cooler out.

Then she decided to eat cookies because well whatever, and offered me one. And as always, I declined.

I’m trying to watch what I eat.

Well why aren’t you losing any weight then? You’re dieting, you’re always so busy with the garden that you can’t come over, you should be skinny!

I’m gonna stop right there and say I did not kill her.

I know it’s the dementia- not that she wasn’t always passive aggressive - but dammit that hurt. I’m over there every other day for a couple hours. I cook, get her mail, take the trash out. I go to the store for her. I want to be kind because I don’t know how long we have. But it’s hard.

I totally get it and feel for you and your mom. My mom has alzheimer's but not advanced yet. It can be real hard at times having a mom (or anyone) with dementia or alzheimer's. But I, like you, keep plugging away and doing what I can. I feel for anyone who has dementia or alzheimer's. It's hard on them, and loved ones, losing memories.
Crappy, actually what I would like to say would be very . It just sucks.

You are a very good daughter, Delores. Your Mom is very lucky to have you.

8) Airport approach monitoring eh? I have too many radios here after a lifetime of radio hobbying, listen to a lot of marine VHF here being near the sea, a bit more laid back than the rapid comms of airband. Enjoy!

I've been licenced for 27 years ( I think... memory is failing) but transmit from UK rarely these days, we're at the bottom of a sunspot cycle at present and inter-continental propagation is poor on HF anyway. I enjoy operating from foreign parts and surprising friends ...

 

[stols001]

The expvape V4 can bite me. I keep wicking it less, it's still flooding. I have NO CLUE how to handle a top atomizer other than I READ to not over wick are we talking gossamer threads of spider web type of wicking?

Also, once it floods what do you do (besides taking it apart, washing everything rewicking etc.?) So far this thing is as annoying as a dang, Kayfun or something.

I don't understand I can wick bottom fill atomizers and totally have them not leak at all.

I filled it with the airflow off as much as I could. I have sat it upside down for now. You'd be shocked at how that fixes things sometimes. Although I must say I am NOT optimistic. Grr.

Any minute now, I am going to go grab a siren for for my Flower of Life. It needs to be vaped it's AWESOME.

Anna

 

[stols001]

Yeah I read that review. Shortened my wick. Now, I'm going to try totally overstuffing it, perhaps (based on my standards, anyway. Maybe it would like a different flavor juice,

Sheesh, its annoying.

Anna

 

[DeloresRose]

You're a good daughter.
Does she have any means of socializing or are you all she has ?

Fortunately my sister and brother live close, too, and they’re visiting as often as I do. Thank goodness! If it were only me I don’t know how I’d cope!

 

[Bigbob2322]

Just finished the Smoant Pasido RBA Coil and it was tough but not as bad as I thought it would be, very little . It's vaping great with flavor that's above average and plenty of clouds also. This was a contest win that I didn't think would amount to much but using the RBA coil it's a winner. In case anyone is curious about the RBA build I took some photos.

I will say this, we are fortunate to live now, when there are meds to offset the effects of the disease. I think it’s called Aricept. The difference is astounding. She was diagnosed almost a year ago, a couple months after she started saying bizarre things. If she takes her pill regularly, she’s almost as good as before it started. If she misses even one, I can tell. She’ll see people who aren’t there, forget what year or season it is. It’s the only reason she can still live by herself.

That's a cute little thing !
I think....if it were me....next coil I would put in legs down instead of legs on top

 

[Bigbob2322]

It was easier doing it legs up because of where they go on the post. It's vaping great.

 

[lupinehorror]

just went to check how my 2 FT packages that have been with royal fail for over a week are doing. they're not. bad enough that their website is broken but they also don't know what year it is

Just beautiful!!! Well worth the wait

 

[stols001]

I would just like to state, to anyone considering a one shot called "Raspberry Éclair," just.... don't.

I don't know exactly what it tastes like other than Not good and Not Raspberry Éclair." It's more like "mud and leftover slightly fermenting prune." That's about the closest I can get.

Chef's had it/has it. It's almost as bad as "Joy" and let me tell you that is saying a LOT.
