How are you my dear piscis?
Doing well brother.
Ran into the one and only woman I've ever been in love with while I was uptown a bit ago.
I tried to be as nice as possible but she seems to like seeing me suffer. She said some things that stung a little. And of course because I'm the sensitive little Fishee that I am I got in my little feelers for a minute.
Then I thought about knocking someone's teeth down their throat, and turned up my feel good music and slipped and slided on the icy roads and now I'm here and feeling mucho contento.
Thanks for asking. And how are you my friend?:D

okay folks have an aspire nautilus coming vape mail with five extra heads looking forward to seeing what aspire is all about
Did you take advantage of Sun-Vapers sale------$15.99? Hope so, Nautilus is nice but I wish I didn't have to pay full price for it. As far as the minis go, I found the Silo mini (which is always $15) and uses the Aspire BVC coils just as good as the Nautilus mini. Actually better because the capacity is 3.5mls as opposed to 2mls.

I Love mine to,,,,,i bought mine used from a real close friend,so needless to say I got a very good deal on it,i put a new furnace and central air in when I bought it and paid more for that then I did for the trailer,,,oops I mean mobile home
I absolutely love mine. It sits on my family farm and it's bought and paid for and I'm proud to have it. Have a really nice wood stove that is a God send in the winter months. Chimney is ridiculously isolated to the point that I need not even concern myself with fear of it doin any harm. I love it.
I step out of MY door and look across MY farm and see MY happiness.
And hopefully by this time next year I'll have another one set up. And will rent either it or this one out.
Either way, I'm in the process of owning another one:)

Hi you guys! I made a serious resolution to get off of this and get to bed by 10pm. If any of you see me here after that will you please tell me to fuck off and go to bed? Thank you.

The only way I would tell you to fuck off and go to bed is if I was going to bed with you:)

Damnit, don't you know that giving someone permission to tell you to fuck off takes all the fun out of telling you to fuck off?

Why would you go and do a thing like that? I mean... I mean... well... um... fuck off!

It is so nice to be able to just kick back on my bed and chat for a change without dealing with an iPad.

Good eve'n folks, just popping in for a sec so not gonna try and catch up right now.

Slept in today (duh!), but made some noms and cleaned my desk. :)

Unfortunately, in that process, I managed to knock over my Buzz Pro with the Pulse-G on it. This time, it didn't survive. Nice big hole in the glass. :(

Oh well, it's not crucial, I already know where I can get two replacement tanks for $8. Luckily, it's the same Ebay seller that also has the Kayfun glass full tanks at 2/$10, so that'll be handy. Gonna see how the budget is though..bills first eh?

So, here is my noms...

Made Beef Rice-a-Roni, but as usual, messed with it considerably. ;)

I added a cup of extra Jasmine rice and used half beef stock instead of all water, also I added: chopped Asian veggies, garbanzo beans, tons of seasonings, some dry Marjoram, three chopped cloves of garlic, a whole chopped onion, a chopped Seranno pepper, dashes of fish sauce, Sambal Olek, black soy sauce and Sriracha. Also thinly sliced and browned up a Cajun sausage with the oil and rice/vermicelli before adding the veggies and liquid.




Topped with a bit of grated Cotija cheese just because I can. ;-)
Adds a nice sharp contrast to all of the richness going on too.



Yummy! :)

Think I hit a new 'personal best' with my MVPv2: 670 vapes thus far using my VapeOnly Aspire Vivi-Nova w/ the 1.8 ohm BVC heads. I'd also bored out the airholes just a smidgen too...much better.

And, the battery is still at 3.9v. :D

Bet I can hit 700 before I'd need to charge it...not bad. :cool:

THX!! =)

Yeppers, it's got nearly all of the food groups crammed in there.
And, about a 1/4tsp. of Bhut Jolokia powder for a wakie-wakie-upper.

Holy cow, just realized I vaped my recently filled Fogger v4 near dry on my new mod.

Never done that before on one battery...must be a decent vDrop with the brass tubes and copper contacts goin' on.
Granted, it's using a 1.1 ohm build and has a CGR18650CH battery in there, but still..kinda cool. :cool:

*edit*

Mispoke there; it was a CGR18650CH battery in there, which has since been replaced with a 25R.
(didn't have to adjust the tubes at all either...nice.)

The poor old Panny came off the mod at 3.54v Eeep!

This WAS 2nd level.. :rolleyes:
I hate first level support. Anytime I get on the phone with a support rep, I politely let them know that I worked technical support for database server systems for 20 years and that they need to jump directly to the technical stuff assuming that I know what they are saying, or they need to transfer me to 2nd level.

If they can't handle that I tell them to transfer me to a supervisor. Normally if I'm on the phone for more that 15-20 minutes with a support person it's because there is a significant problem or I'm waiting on call backs after they resolve things on their end.

One of the benefits of asking for a supervisor when it is clear they can't help me is that after they have my basic account info and description of my issue and I have their operator id, is that they have to transfer me or risk getting in trouble.

So I gotta ask... why do you buy the packaged product when you add so much else to it, including your own seasonings? Wouldn't it be far cheaper to just by the rice and/or noodles and use them as the starting point instead?

Well that's just downright sad. I'd REALLY hate to see what first level was like! Then again, I don't normally stay on the phone with them very long, and generally when I do, it's send a tech to replace my modem again. Seems like we run through the Comcast modems about every 6 months.

Sure wish Cisco made em...

Convenience and easy storage, I guess.

I do have dry noodles, rices, beans, lentils, and etc.
It's all the same ingredients either way. Rice-a-roni is rice and some little vermicelli pre-mixed in a box, is all.

A box of rice-a-roni or mac & cheese is like $1 or less and can sit in the cupboard for ages and be just fine. I don't have much room for containers for pasta/beans/rice/etc. so they tend to be used up fairly quick before the bugs get to 'em.

I keep a dry goods stock of things like that, usually bought on sale, so when I decide I want to use 'em, it's there. :)

I can understand that. My wallet has certainly fallen prey to the convenience factor myself...

Well.. All I was trying to get them to do was reset the DSLAM card.. First guy didnt have a clue. Now I have a tech I dont want or need showing up 'sometime' tomorrow on wifes chemo day :rolleyes:

I'm gonna let him waste the trip though and talk him into running down the line redoing every connection in a hope of 'fixing' my problem.. :cool:

Also, price out some rice and vermecelli...then figure I don't have a car to just go get things whenever I want.
For as much as I actually eat as one person, and shopping once a month, it's pretty cheap. :)

If ya lived in a 1BR Apt. and no grocery store within a couple of miles, , would you have a kitchen stocked with everything all of the time? I doubt it... ;)

Speaking of computer things....I need to order two 8gig memory modules from Crucial for this Macbook. The specs say it only has an 8gig max capacity....but many users including Microcenter and Crucial claim that it can handle 16g just fine. I just know that the 4gig that came with it, will not satisfy for long. A SSD is in it's future as well.

Bingo.

TBH, as long as you don't just make the box up and eat it as-is, I don't see the problem. It's just another ingredient for me to mess with.

One of my old sigs was: "I H@Ck Tha F00DZ" :D

I get some posh bits from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods on occasion to add to other things....or just to snack on as-is....but generally, I support the restaurant industry for all of my meals.

For a good, quick meal, I grab one of these:

And one of these:

Ready-Rice.aspx


And mix together with garlic butter or teriyaki. Makes a really good vegetable rice in 5 mins.. for $2-$2.50 and feeds 2 as a meal, or 4 as a side. Different flavors available.. :)

I've been getting those bagged meals like Bertoli or some such......very convenient one-pot affairs that make for two meals.
