Shari you have a ton of juice and some I'd even like to try. If stuff is still there tomorrow I'll see if I can find anything that you might like, I'm just far too tired to sort through everything tonight.

Good evening all. Hope everyone is doing well.

Whew, the pond filter is clean and I'm soaked. I figured today might be a good day to do this because I am still so sore I can barely move from scrubbing the shower yesterday, lol. Better than waiting for the pain to be gone before creating more.

I used to have a pond. With a 3 foot waterfall. I miss it so. That was the hardest part of selling my house was leaving the pond and fish. Would love to see a picture if possible.

Hey Lox, I had wanted to respond to your comment waayyyyy back about me getting ripped off on my $7 snus and that I should be able to get it for about 2-4 bucks....

Not in Oregon. Where I bought mine was at a chain convenience store (the only one who carries General) and I would assume they all have the same if not similar prices. The other "boutique" tobacco shops I would guess are probably more.

The reason for such a high price? Smokeless tobacco has a MINIMUM $2.15 tax for retail sales here.




Anyway, your mention about states seeeing smokeless tobacco as "less harmful" reminded me that here in a very ANTZy state, that's not the case.








I have one of those. I used it for TMJ treatment that I needed last year. Very convenient. Although I couldn't pay it all of the first year, I was able to pay 1/2 before the APR kicked in.

What did they do for your TMJ? Mouth guard?

I paid for a co-op day before yesterday and just received a call from Visa that my card has been hacked. I am so frickin' mad I could karate chop a 4x4 post in half with one swipe. It was paid through PayPal. This is the 4th time in about 6 months. Everyone PLEASE check your cards and bank accounts daily if you buy online and especially if you use PP as it is now apparent to me that PayPal is either in on the scam or somebody has easy access to their financials.

Must be something in the air. My son used my visa at the mall a few days ago and apparently the merchant got hacked. Someone in LA was withdrawing money from my account. Thank goodness for BOA fraud protection.

 

[FL Lori]

Fairly quiet in here. Got a chance to catch up. Hiya gang. Good to see you all.

Yes just the average stress a day brings. How about yourself?

The beginning of June fraud was massive. I think I finally saw on the news it was the cc card companies that were hacked.

Good to see you too Lori
Didn't know if you would make it this far
I know you both are sick but hope you are resting.

Not too bad.
Better than last night anyway

If it wasn't for the bank emailing me questioning the transactions I would not have noticed right away.

I can not taste anything. How does one get a cold in the summer?

Feel better dear.

I'm getting off for the night, have a good one ya'll

 

[ShariR]

Oh, oh. What is wrong with isopropyl alcohol? I read that it is supposed to be fine as long as it is 91% or more. Now what am I gonna do with two big bottles of it. Crap. What is nfs mean? What do you use?

Isopropyl alcohol??
I honestly would NOT clean my attys with anything NFS.
I remember long lengthy discussions on this stuff 3 years ago. Not recommended as far as I remember.

Good morning everyone

 

[ShariR]

Heh, I'm using eGo batteries Shari

And I am wrong again. I thought you needed more power for those. So vv/vw does not matter?

Hummm, I have COPD .... my chest x-rays are clear

That is good to know. I did not know that. So how do they know if you have it?

 

[GtrSoloist]

I was under the impression that 91% was a safer alternative as well. To be fair though, I mostly use it to clean threads on tanks that slighty leak *cough* Protank *cough* Evod *cough* and gunk up the threads.

 

[ShariR]

Lulu, its probably so that he can check off another cpt code and bill more to the insurance. My old dr charged $3 to look at my feet because I am diabetic. It's a mess.

Even though I don't exhibit any of the signs of COPD, this new doc I'm going to insisted on "assigning" me a COPD diagnosis and stage based on the number of years I smoked cigs. That will now go on my permanent medical record. Obamascare is going to have me dead and buried according to their rules, way before that happens!

I am wondering the same thing, sniffles cough, blah! I hope you feel better.
