They have those too. But, the doctor told me it's ALL under the ADHD umbrella now. So, you DO have ADHD. The form of it though is ADD.
ADD, or attention deficit disorder, is a type of ADHD.

I fought my doctor tooth and nail over being labeled as having ADHD. There's not a hyperactive bone in my body, I just have problems concentrating. I'm not on medication though as mine is considered to be a mild form. If I want to get something done, I plug in my headphones, select some music and get busy. Without the headphones, I'm more like Look! A squirrel!! I wish they would invent something to slow metabolism down though. I've lost 12lbs since October due to work. 112lbs is way too skinny for my 5'5" frame.

I can't listen to music. I have it (ADHD) pretty bad. Only white noise. :( I'm really happy about the medicine working though. I'd wear those headphones for 8 hours a day and my ears would be killing me by the end of the week. And, the ringing in the ears from the white noise.
Drink some chocolate milkshakes. That's what I used to do when I'd get too skinny.

It was a couple hrs after I *first* wakened before I even REMEMBERED it was my birthday... instead of bounding out of bed like a fucking bunny at the crack of dawn! I finally got up sometime after 11... really didn't wanna, but my bladder INSISTED.

I'd gladly give you some of mine! I weigh a little more than twice what you do. I could afford it.

It does but I've been dealing with this since my late teens so nothing new. I've just started eating good for me smaller meals every 2 hours. Plus, I've slowed down at work as well. :)

Well, eating healthy is what counts. If you're a little thin, but still feel good, don't worry about it. :) I need to get back on my low-cholesterol diet. I'm scared of what the next blood test will show. :eek:

Anyone got any idea why I can pair my phone with my bluetooth speaker just fine, but when I try to pair the speaker to the PC, it says "driver error"... or the PC shows "connected" but the blue light on the speaker just keeps flashing and never says "device connected"?

Different versions of bluetooth and drivers?
Click to expand...

Guess it could be that, though my Windows is fairly to up to date, and all updates up to date. My suspicion is some sort of language barrier between Windows and Android, since I think the speaker is really intended to be used with phones. I've looked at various things in my PC's device mgr, and everything looks up to date, drivers up to date, etc... which really just leaves Windows and Android fighting it out.

I wonder if there is any sort of "Android emulator" I could run in Windows. I really am not interested in installing and learning a new OS right now.

We had to do health assessments at work. My BP was 120/75. My good cholesterol is too low, my bad cholesterol is low, my overall cholesterol was low. My blood glucose level was 120 but that's ok because it's a non fasting number. Overall, except for the weight loss, I'm in great shape. :) I'm happy! Oh and I tested positive for cotinine because my eliquids have nicotine in them. :rolleyes:

I have no idea I quit playing with new OS's and such several years ago.
I just use what it there now instead of rolling my own.

Ok, I think my shinyitis has gotten completely out of hand. I finally cleaned up my vape-counter, so I was able to take a pic of my whole family of box mods without a shitload of clutter in the way... and all I can say is :facepalm:

And that's not even counting the 2 Zmax's and 2 mechs. Or the 3 vv3's. :facepalm:

Same here. I quit messing with os's 13 years ago and repairing computers. Now I just mess with database stuff. Because I have to at work. And even though I love databases I'd still rather be a hippie on a beach somewhere selling artwork and cute painted shells.

Actually... not as much as I used to, since I've gotten spoiled by using odd wattage settings; the CF4s will only go in .5w increments, and I often want something like 9.4w, or 9.6-9.8... the minibooks are my current faves, though I still like the iPV Minis a great deal too. I don't dislike the SX Mini M, but that fucker is HEAVY, so it doesn't get used a lot. I'll probably pass that one to my son; he's got larger hands, and obviously is stronger, being both male and a piano player.

But the Coolfires are reliable and hard to destroy, so they'll be in the lineup for quite a while -- and even when the built-in batteries in the originals bite the bullet, I'll still have those 75w'ers that take 18650s. If my son doesn't take them over because they'll go to 75w. :giggle:

I'm probably going to wrap the red CF4 that has my name on it; that sparkly-clearcoat on it is starting to bubble up in spots, and rather than let that clearcoat get torn up, I'll wrap it; Jwraps has a red sparkle like that blue one, and that purple CF4, I'm probably going to replace the wrap on it with their purple sparkle wrap. That "purple heart" wrap didn't turn out too well; it was the first that my husband wrapped for me (he's a lot less fumble-thumbs than I am), and he didn't do a terrific job with it. And I may end up replacing the "blue ice" wrap on the blue iPV Mini, never been all that wild about that wrap either -- I really prefer Jwraps' newer metallic designs, like the sparkles.

Well yesterday I just had to do it. It been only 2 or 3 months but it was time to do the deed. Yes, I had to rewick one of my Merlins. :giggle:

<sarcasm intended as light humor>* gasps, just knows the End Times are now near *</sarcasm>

Dislike much do I, this having to rewick an rda when the pleasure of another flavor is wanted. Someone ought to come up with a flavor that has no taste and it doesn't matter if you put it in six different rda, it's all the same. "Oh, wait ..." ;) :)

:question: *sitting shaking my head & grinning, chuckling whilst enjoying ...* :cloud::cloud::cloud::coffee2: *... after having been running around mowing with the motor scythe for an hour or so this morning.*

Wait until they find the foot prints on the ceiling of the Oval Office, on the shore of a beach on Pluto, in the glop in the infinite marsh of glop in the Rigel galaxy ... when they do recall my words, "I did not do it." ;) :)

I know, right! :giggle:


I know some like to change their wicks almost daily, and others keep them on a schedule of when to be changes. Me, as long as it taste ok, why bother :teehee: My merlin was vaping just fine, flavor was good but it was giving me problems wicking. I would vape a little and then have to loosen the cap to get the wick going again, vape a little more and loosen the cap again. Didnt use to do that so it was time to bite the bullet :D

This is why if I were to look at going back to using a regulated mod, it would likely be a Coolfire. Not keen on an internal battery biting the dust and being out. Still Innokin has a very excellent product base in the Coolfires.

Been trying out a new Goon. It is the Max style of Goon, and oddly enough I did buy an authentic. Well, it is not doing as smart as I would have hoped for. If I squonk on it the next thing I know the air slots are juice fountains. I have tried a few different coil positions, wick methods. Seems in my humble view it was kind of thought out wrong for it to be doing that. Might find a better way to wick or set it up on Youtube later.

For now, I might look at a bit of tell lie vision, eat a little food. Figure Shrek, our little dog will have a a crusade against the sleepy monster in bed. :)

They sure do -- I don't think the originals are still available anywhere (though they might be, I didn't think I could find anymore minibooks either, but they keep turning up!), but those 75w models are very versatile -- they'll do all the diff kinds of TC, they take 18650s, they go to 75w, and they have the full-metal body as the originals do, none of that plastic crap -- my only complaint with 'em is that they don't have a microUSB for emergency charging, but I guess you can't have everything. They're only a tiny SMIDGE bigger than the originals, and just as comfy in the hand. And a lot less costly than when they first came out, which is the only reason I have 2 of 'em ;)
