I wouldn't worry about becoming a Supporting Member right now Biz. You have a wife working, two children and your focused on your education.

All you would benefit from it is access to the Classifieds and Coop pages and a few other things maybe ... and I don't think that's a big thing for you right now.

Don't sweat it buddy. You're doing fine as you are.

TT

Supporting members don't get access to those areas, it is being verified for access to those areas and there is no cost for that :)

Moon, out of all the sports, I can handle MLB the easiest...I'm not a huge fan or follower of any type of sports tho.

Well I got a surprise this morning, MIL handed me her Discover card and told me to go get the tires and front end done on my car...I 'bout near fainted! Then I got another nice surprise at the tire store, they didn't try to rip me off with claims of parts needing to be replaced! My rear tires are not that bad, and the tire guy agreed that they didn't need to be replaced yet, so I got out of there for under $250 :) Half of which I've already repaid to my MIL.

Another letter from AH today. He's asking for $25 a week for commissary, which his mom has agreed to do for him. He also said that he's pretty sure he'll pull prison time, just not sure how much. I'm guessing his public defender has already told him that there is not much in the way of plea deals for him, and all 3 of his felonies carry mandatory minimums.

That was super cool of MIL, Bov! I am so glad that you two have each other.

I kicked the Splenda too the curb...Aspartame....

I use Stevia in the Raw for my coffee. Planning on a couple or three Stevia bushes for the summer. Then I'll make my own sweetner using alcohol extraction....

I tried Agave` as a sweetner....Yucko!!! Actually it's not bad but definitely an acquired taste...I'll stick with stevia....

Finally finished about fifty projects....Looks like funds will be tight into the summer months...Same old same old...My dang last shipment of Boges would give @ 5 days before gunking up...Funny you could hear them sizzling away...just zero vapor...I pulled out my last T3 and got about 2 weeks with the same juice that gunked the Boge..A known clean running juice also gunked my other Boge set up..2 juices set up the same day...4/5 days later both gunked at the same time...Priceless I tell Ya....Now that I've jinxed the T3.....Planning a run into SC here in a day or two...Gonna visit a vapor store that stocks Kanger Pros and Kanger Evods...Hoping the Pro uses T3 coils...I trolled RTS earlier...needing too fire off an order soon...

Hoping everyone is doing well...I'm finally well over that monstrous head cold...It's still below normal here but livable at least...I welcome the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lilac, I make similar preserves using Splenda. I use Jello, Splenda, water and mashed up real, fresh fruit. Yummy stuff!

Salem. is that the entire recipe?...Splenda, Jello, water and fruit? The recipe I found calls for lemon juice and pectin. I always have Splenda on hand.

LD, Splenda is NOT aspartame. I don't like Stevia at all.

Splenda /ˈsplɛndə/ is the commercial name and registered trade mark of a sucralose-based artificial sweetener derived from sugar,

Lilac, I think it is two cups water, 1 cup splenda and 1 pk sugar free jello. You boil the water, add fruit ( I like blackberry best) I use potato masher to mash the fruit up when it comes to a boil. Then add the Splenda (or whatever sweetner you choose) and jello. bring back to boil, remove from burner. Let cool just a little and then pour into jars to chill.

I will double check that recipe to be sure in the morning. Also, frozen fruit works just as well.

Protanks can use the Evod coils but not T3 coils.

LD: I read some papers on Stevia. I won't use it. I prefer Splenda. They have a new sweetener made from Monk fruit. I haven't tried it yet but it has 0 calories.

I cannot use Stevia because I am allergic to Ragweed. Oh, and I cannot afford my blood pressure to get any lower than what it is.

I plan on trying this soon since it is natural and made from fruit.

Bo, You, Fran and everyone having problems with Fusions need to let him know so he can fix it. I'd send them back if it was me. Another thing is the 510 fusion has an airyer draw so you could try them.
I have busier than heck now that the weathers been better. I have been building me a new ecig when I get time to work on it. Oh well things will slow down when I get caught up.

Here is the recipe. I was way off last night :D

2 cups berries (fresh or frozen/thawed)
1 cup cold water
1 pk 3oz Strawberry Jello Sugar Free/Unsweetened
Add sweetener of your choice if using unsweetened

Crush berries. Add water and gelatin. Mix well.
Bring to boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Reduce heat, simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool for about 10 minutes. Pour into jars and place in fridge until set.

Easy, peasy and very good stuff.

Yes, I have some Evods. The flavor is good with them and I have not tried but, they are supposed to be alot easier to rebuild than the T3s are because the coil is separate from the head.

There has been some bad info on Splenda out there but so far I find it the best for me. It is at least derived from real sugar.

My mom (diabetic) has gone back to using real sugar and is probably smarter than the rest of us. She feels like the real foods are better than any altered stuff. She is probably right.

Your husband SELLS you jelly?

LOL!!

How much does he charge you for the toast?

I wonder if this would work with my wife? Maybe I could finally end up with a little money in my pocket!!!

Don't get to excited TT! It was a late night spelling error. The darn computer spell check will replace with words similar if I miss something. :)
