Well, you can use the Stevia in a lot of things Mark, so, it isn't a total loss, I started using it in coffee because the other brands were getting expensive and a little Stevia goes a long way. Coffee, tea, that's about all I need to sweeten these days. If I ate cereal, I would try it there too.

I might even buy some in liquid form to add to juices that had potential but weren't sweet enough. it might help.

I love Halloween :thumb:
We have 1000 glow sticks, 12 pounds of chocolate (maybe 9 by Halloween :p ) and 2 boxes of angry birds fruit snacks. Bring on the kids :)


Oh and I have 12 boxes if condoms for the "older" kids. I figure if your 22 and still trick or treating its best you don't breed :rolleyes:
HEY! i resent the bolded part! I AM 22... and i already have a kid, so HA!
You truly are a horrible person!

The older kids want Budweiser!
Id preferr a mixed drink over beer, id rather not drink something that tastes like ear wax... but i wont turn down a bottle of Rock Hard Red (1% more alcohol than budwiser, and tastes better! lol)
Good morning all! Sleeping late is becoming a bad habit.

Off to inhale a couple mugs of coffee. Taking time now to say Happy Friday!! :banana:
sleeping in? im heading to bed. Hello, Goodbye. my odd sleeping hours. stupid 3rd shift factory schedules. go into work at 2:30pm, get off around midnight. nobody understands why i dont like appointments before noon and preferr after 3pm.. unless they worked the shift or graveyard hours.

edit: Happy friday! its a 3 day weekend for our house. girlfrind doesnt need to go to work today (vacation day.. would be an unpaid vacation if she didnt get the paperwork in yesterday.. plant cleaning day and her department isnt needed and her boss told her she cannot even volunteer to come in and help clean another section of the plant as thats not her job.)

So what's your costume going to be?
I am a Roman Goddess this year.

I know you can pick up liquid stevia in a health food store or someplace like GNC. A lot of people use it for dieting and low carb and diabetes to sweeten food. Read the labels, some have other additives that you won't want. Any place that sells vitamins will probably have it. Vitamin Shoppe has it in TN, probably has it online. They also had one that did not have a bunch of additives in it. Not cheap though.

I think I saw some in the supermarket a couple of weeks ago but did not read the label. It would be where the sugar and sugar substitutes are.
I use Stevia all the time! LOVE IT! I get it from the suppermarket and I use the pure stuff.

Good morning all! Sleeping late is becoming a bad habit.

Me too hunnie, I can't get my .... out of bed this week. Luckily my boss is awesome and just lets me make up the 30 mins I have come in late at the end of the day.

Good Morning All!! Off for more coffee!! I am keeping notes with all this diy info that keeps popping up, I am almost ready to start making some purchases for supplies......

Ok this rant is not directed at anyone in particular AND everyone in general :p

I don't quite get it sometimes :unsure: we all smoked (or smoke) cigarettes at $4-$5+ a pack that lasted a day (or less) yet don't want to spend $15 on 30mls of juice that lasts anywhere from 6-10 days. :confused: now I DO get trying to save money on DIY (yeah good luck with that I honestly have EVERY tfa flavor and a few dozen from fa and flavorwest along with roughly 1500 mls of nicotine) and with DIY you control flavors so can mix to your liking and KNOW what's in your juice. What I DON'T get is people skimping on DIY ingredients. There's a difference between usp and pharma grade pg and VG. I won't use anything less than pharma grade. I know vaping is relatively in its infancy and we don't know what the flavors are doing to our systems - read this study - Evaluation of the cytotoxic potential of e-cigarette vapor on cultured cardiac cells: a new study We do know pg and VG pose relatively no threat (asthma inhalers use pg). But IMO we should use some common sense and stick to the purest ingredients we can find, research what's in it, and avoid oils, capsaicin, cinnamon, alcohols, and other substances and additives that may have adverse reactions. Vaping for most of us is a reduced harm alternative to smoking so let's use common sense and do our best to reduce harm. Be careful, be wary, be safe as possible, and most importantly BE INFORMED what your inhaling. We are addicted to and need the nicotine (and for some WTA) we don't need to get our vitamins, caffiene, or dinner in our vapor. Why add something that's more effective and cost efficient AND can easily be gotten from an alternate and safer delivery method than vapor.

Rant over :)

Ok if your 22 and trick or treating with your kid (or sibling) you get candy.
If your 22, dressed up in your best Dora The Explorer underoos, fuzzy bunny slippers, and trick or treating because your mom took your Nintendo, hot pockets, and told you "get off the couch outta my basement and go do something" well then you get Trojans :pervy:

Well said!! Although I am not averse to a sale, I don't want to buy a gallon of shady nic for $20, if you know what I mean.

You also get some homemade salted (Peter) caramel candy ;)

Ok for those who asked here's MY understanding of usp.
A product can be marked just usp - meaning they claim to follow standards of the usp for food additives. These claims are not verified by usp.
A product marked usp-verified has actually been tested as a food additive and has been verified that it complies to usp standards for food additives and dietary supplements.
A product marked usp-nf has been tested and meets usp standards for prescription and over the counter medications.

This is my understanding based on what I've read on the usp site and others. If I'm understanding it wrong perhaps someone more knowledgable will please correct me.
