Good morning! Our frigid temps are back... got down to 18° last night. Going down to 14° tomorrow night.

I've never heard of "OfferUp" there are sooooooo many of these sell it sites out there now, hard to keep up. I've been in my own little bubble with the Facebook Live sellers.

OfferUp is great. You can do local pick up only. Not the U.S.. There's some really good and odd things. Also there is a free local section. It's not like eBay. Cash only locally is how I like it. I just listed a used 30" stainless microwave and got rid of it for $40. We can't use it...too darn big. I also listed a bunch of shoes. Clothing will go up tonight.

I've been to a couple of live FB pages. Haven't purchased anything yet. Finding out the prices in women's tops is difficult unless I'm there when it starts.

Good Lord! Your temps are off the chart...for me! I could never endure that temp. I mean, 75 degrees in the house is actually quite chilly for me. But then I don't move around that much or go outside much. Yeah. I'm a woos.

Good morning! Yeah, no more Vaping Watch :( I'm on the lookout for a company that needs my services. But with all the laws in question right now, everyone's kinda at a stand still.

Goos Luck!!! If I had to look for a job after being a Realtor for 28 years it would be futile. They think that as soon as the market picks up I'll quit. I tried it when the market tanked 10yrs ago. Nobody would hire me. I didn't go as low as Taco Bell, though.

I couldn't sleep. Went to bed late (2:25am) Up at 3:50am) Having a cup of caffeinated which I rarely have, to see what happens. I still feel really tired. Bad dreams. Got up at 8:30 after I went back to bed at 4:15am. Plus, Chuck is sick! If I get any form of it or my temp goes to 99 degrees, I'm toast for 9 weeks. I hope he doesn't have that flu, Hong Kong flu or something like that. Nasty one. Very nasty. Many people have died from it. I still feel quite tired and see an early nap coming on. I had a lumbar Epidural shot and a S1-L5 EMG yesterday. I'm a bit sore, as she said I'd be. Tomorrow should be worse she said.

Here's my prep when he is sick. See thumbs below.

Good evening everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day! Seems like everyone is getting sick lately, hope you all get better soon!

Me and my little one are eating dinner, Salisbury steak! One of my favorites! It’s so good!

Have a great night everyone! :hug:<3

Howdy and good evening all! Hope you all are well. Have a couple of days off and trying to catch up on a couple of weeks of missed VU posts. Still a little sick. Lost my taste buds so vaping is interesting.

@Amber Petti I was thinking of you today when I saw a headline about NJ banning all ejuice. I hope I was reading it wrong.

Spent 4hrs at Walgreen's today getting him (us?) a boatload of medicine. Different forms of Mucinex, Asprin, lots of day and night NyQuil. More Clorox wipes, gloves, masks, and other stuff my brain won't spit out at the moment.

My food tastes off. Actually, I have no taste or it tastes like tin. First time experiencing that. I now have lots of water vs. the coffee I drank all morning at at Walgreen's. Slid in a few stealth toots. I did really great in the beauty section. I had online clipped coupons and $15 off in cash register receipts. I probably spent $150 off of the $336 I paid. Damn, medicine is expensive! I still need to look at the receipts. I had her split the checkout to maximize my coupon savings. They hate that but I got what I wanted. I am soooo tired right now. I'm falling asleep typing this! I need to get up and do something.

Hope you get to feeling better. I still have some congestion, but mostly over mine. I usually loose my taste buds towards the end of a cold. I can't wait to taste stuff again.

Thanks, Don. Hubby has a full blown case of some really bad, bad lungs right now. We're talking about taking him to the hospital for some oxygen. I should have checked on oxygen at Walgreen's when I was there. They just closed. Amazon will deliver oxygen in 24 hrs. I'm looking there. As for my taste buds. I'm not running a fever or have any other symptoms of anything. Maybe it's vaper's tongue. I've been vaping the same rotation for at least 2 months. I'm going to try Tmaxx's mint and vanilla (candy cane smell) and see if that helps kick start me. I also have a fresh, sour fruit.

I vape 3 juices almost exclusively, but do keep a few more around just to break it up and every few weeks, sick or not, it all looses flavor even with fresh cotton and clean or new coils.

What does this mean for you?
Well, I diy so it doesn’t phase me much. I can still order nic, pg/vg, flavors and have them sent to my house. The issue is, the shop I go to is where I buy my mods, tanks, etc. I can see them in person and ask questions if needed. So if they completely close down, I’ll be pretty upset. The manager of the shop told me in March it’s going to be reviewed again though and April will be the final decision. So there’s still some hope... just some.

I hope someone in your state and federally sees some reason.

Me too. It’s not looking good though. But my shop also sells tobacco pipes and whatnot so I’m hoping they’ll just stock up on those pieces to sell, keep their mods and tanks, maybe stock up on more options. Idk. I just don’t want them to close down. I live 5 minutes away from PA so if I need to, I’ll just find a new vape shop to go to.

Banning ejuice all together? I assume that's ejuice for 'sale'. You can still vape in public with 'ejuice', right? Or is NJ having to go stealth?

Good morning!

The NJ ban is on flavored eliquids. Only eliquid that can be manufactured or sold now is tobacco. Joe, Tyger, Smokie, and Scope are all in Jersey. And as far as I know only Scope DIY's. So they're gonna be affected by it as well.

Well you can’t get arrested for vaping if your of age... unless they change that too being as ridiculous as they are.

The only ejuice that will be available in shops are tobacco flavors and menthol flavors.

I forgot about the standard flavors. By the sounds of it, I thought it was all ejuice in NJ. Still, it will make vaping such a stigma more than it is now. Good Grief. What is this world coming to.

I officially have whatever is going around aside from the CoV, I hope. Upper, hard congestion, painful coughing up to my ears. No fever at the moment, thankfully. Achy and can't taste anything. I couldn't taste anything starting Tues. This finally hit yesterday morning.

Oh No! I know I'm not to blame as I don't believe colds can be transmitted by forum yet. I swear I didn't lick the keyboard.

Good morning! Y'all... I have been sick as a dog since Sunday morning. Woke up to dry heaves.. high fever... by noon coming out both ends. The stomach has settled, I was able to keep some food down last night. But I'm still running a fever. Not sure if it's a bug or food poisoning. I was so bad Monday the hubby called off work to be here in case I wanted to go to the ER.

Are you coughing?

If you are experiencing ANY upper respiratory issues with your fever , get to the hospital now!


The dry heaves would indicate food poisoning but not with the fever. Coming out both ends also indicates food poisoning as well as the flu. Food poisoning ironically does like food a day or so after the vomiting for hours stops. Even after the symptoms are all gone it will take you a week to get your strength back. The fever worries me though. You didn't mention coughing. Right now I think you have a bad flu. If so, it wouldn't be viral and antibiotics won't work; unless you get a Z-Pak from your Doc. That knocks out anything. (I'm so sick I can't talk and I'm so dizzy. And, I can't type without making a million mistakes.)

Drink the original NyQuil even during the day - not DayQuil. You need rest. It will help with sleep, aches and pains and coughing. I always take it all day when I'm trying to sweat it out. Let's see...Sunday, now Tuesday. I bet you can start sweating it out tomorrow. Make it a mission. Tons of hoodies, sweats and blankets. I sleep right through mine because I'm so weak. I'll wake and me and the pillows are soaked but I'll take one sip of OJ and I'm back to sleep again in my wet sweats.

Keep us updated if you can or have hubby do it. I can tell by your post that you are REALLY sick. You normally don't sound like that in your writing.

We Wuv You, Pami!!!

No, no cough at all. Just my normal allergy (and now dehydration) related tightness.
My dad ran a fever when he got Ecoli.
I'm familiar with Zpaks ;)
I'm a sweat it out kinda girl. Your body fevers for a reason, unless it goes over 103 I normally do not treat the fever systems.
I'm drained, but doing okay. The fever is hot flashing today, so it's about to break. Lunch stayed down... here's hoping dinner does to. I drank Ginger Ale all day sunday just to keep my sugar from crashing, and yesterday got some soup and a sandwich from Panera in me. Now I'll move on to the OJ :)

Love you too! :inlove:

Pami, In speaking with my sister last week and again last night, she has researched this flu bug to death. She told me to look up the RVB virus. Sounds just like what you have, too. Check it out. Very scary. There are so many strains of illnesses going around. My symptoms are completely different from yours. Definitely look it up.

Good Morning, by the way. :)

I was thinking about him too. Perhaps his mother did finally pass away. He may be in mourning? He's such a sweet man.

Hi Guys ! Yes I’m alive still lol. Don’t know if I mentioned it. Mom died a few weeks ago. I’m ok though it was kind of expected. Although she was thinking correctly and her heart was good they just couldn’t get her lungs better. Been busy with work and life stuff. On the bright side I’ve pretty much paid off all my cars and bills and am buying my son his first car which may be the biggest mistake of my life lmao. Getting him a 2018 Lincoln MKC so it’s all wheel drive and an SUV and it shouldn’t promote speeding rlmao. So all in all things are getting better. Now if I could only be happy I’d really be ok. Doing a vision zero 4 course in the Bronx today. I’ll check back in tonight. Have a good day !

Hi! Glad to know you're okay out there!! :)
Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. :hug:No, I knew she was ill but you never told us she had passed.
Getting the bills paid off, that's gotta be a huge relief!!
Wait... your buying a car for the son that just got out of the center?

Vision Zero is a course that commercial drivers have to take thanks to Mayor DeBlasio and his vision zero initiative. It’s supposed to help reach the goal of zero accidents and fatalities from motor vehicles. Yes it’s that son lol. He’s been doing good and I figured let me do something really nice. You never know when it’s to late. My mother did some good stuff for us kids but I wish she did it before she died so that she could see the results of her good deeds and efforts. Just got home from the Bronx and the course. Have a good night everyone !

Howdy. Not too bad of a day. Did a load in of a Broadway road show. Short 7 hour day. Came home to new monitor that was delivered. Spent an hour fighting with getting it working (needed new HDMI cable). Still trying to dial in settings. 4K is absolutely stunning. Spent another cleaning up cables. I hate messy cables.

Back to work at the Opera tomorrow. There for the next couple of weeks before we get rid of it and then it's Ballet again.
