You need a friendly: * HUG *. I am sorry to hear of your mom's troubles. Suffer some pain here too but for different reasons. It is rough to have to manage it instead of doing anything for the source of the pain. And no, I have no idea of what your mom is going through, could not fathom it. I do empathize though. People should not have to face terrible pain, even those caring for the suffering. Well, I'll step back over here to my hammock.
Hiya @pete67Good morning Tau and Andria
Mini-wheats, I think but never mind me, I'd eat either oatmeal or mini-wheats. * smirk * Besides it's no good if two nut-jobs take advice from one another, they say it leads to the world stopping or something.
Mattie and I love porridge....and Muesli from Ikea with vanilla soy yoghurt!

Yes, thank you!
Ugh, now I want a hardboiled egg. I just settled for a Cara Cara Orange this morning.

Yes, I was filled in on that. I am a survivor.
Porridge is always yummy for me. Not tried vanilla soy yogurt. * puts on list to try * I like eating bean burgers at times. If we could do it fairly well, I'd wind up vegan. What with homesteading for ourselves,hopeful I can do that.
Sure I'll raise livestock for market as well as just to have livestock. Doesn't mean I need to eats fellow critters. Yes, I realize my position may seem hypocritical. I cannot reconcile it for anyone else and will not attempt doing so. What suits me may not suit (generally) you.
Yup that is the tough part about RTAs, every different type has a certain methodology or you end up with floods or dry hits. I guess I was lucky on the Griffin in getting it just right, but it's similar to the TFV4 decks in it's wicking, or how I did it, just a hair inside the juice wells. My Diablo I haven't had any issues with, has the same method as the Goblin Mini. Then last night I got the Boreas going, and yeah... when I read it was the easiest wicking, I didn't really accept it as those two tanks came easy to me, but that thing (I guess same as aromamizer) you just lay the extra cotton into the deck and you're done, really silly how easy it was, massive tank though.Agreed! I have a crown and I love it. Even bought the deck for it but I can't get the fuckin thing apart!!! I've tried everything to get it apart and it won't budge. Finally said to hell with it and bought some coils for it. Building is the easy part, there's nothing to wrapping a decent coil, it's the friggin wicking that gives me fits. Hours upon hours of wicking videos and still can't do it right... And I'm supposed to be intelligent!!. But I do love the crown,, nice big tank and good flavor. Pretty hopeful about the serpent though. They're on a slow boat from China so it'll be a month before I see them. Hmmmmm, maybe I should try to get that deck apart this morning.....

Anyways, RTAs have lead to many messy hands/desks and potential holes in the wall.
Good morning Morely and Jerus
Mattie and my position is simple. We do not feel the need to kill in order to eat. What if cows had the same capacity for intelligence as humans...and spoke in the languages of humans. What if one walked up and said "Hey, I'm hungry...so you must die"? You would respond with "But, there are thousands of other things to eat!! Why me?". The cow would respond "Hush now, and let me electrocute you and cook your muscles."Porridge is always yummy for me. Not tried vanilla soy yogurt. * puts on list to try * I like eating bean burgers at times. If we could do it fairly well, I'd wind up vegan. What with homesteading for ourselves,hopeful I can do that.
Ah ha, one of the Goddesses here tells me hello. Wow! I better behave for sure. Howdy back Whiskey.

There aint none
Mattie joins you in your disdain for raisins!
Yeah, I understand that fully. Can even respect it. I had some issue working a live hang poultry processing factory. Kind of sad to see it. At the same time our world at large seems keen to value that oh mighty dollar thing. Seems we all need that to do as we desire, else we cannot follow our choices too easily. There's no magic wands to resolve all the problems, or even a single one. For me it is a matter of practicality more so than a desire to kill.
I genuinely do not desire killing, or violence of any sort. We all though need to do what we are needed to do to get through life. No, that is not justification or excuse. My hope is it at least offers common ground of understanding. I'm not one for hatred but I do loathe how our world seems continually fucked up. And yes, fucked up is about as best I can say it. We can all see it.
The meat eater is my wife. She loves beef. I don't care if she eats it. She laughs at me trying veganism. But she does understand my point of view too. At least I'm not telling her to fry up some grubs, grasshoppers.
I understand they're quite yummy and nutritious. And yep, I've had both. It was a have to situation. My uncle ensured I could get arrow of light in BSA, had me go a week alone in the woods. That's why I hold to doing what is needed, Humans are adaptable like that.Apologies, not meaning to debate here. If it seems this is, please simply ignore me. I'm over look-able even at six foot tall.
It's not the raisins, it's those cookies in particular. I like raisins, and I like oatmeal, I like raisins in my oatmeal, but as soon as you make it into a cookie it becomes this devious abomination. I get a cookie, take a bite, realize it's oatmeal and raisins, and then the head starts whirling. I can't get mad because they just gave me a cookie, that'd be rude and completely uncalled for. But, there are SO many better types of cookies out there, it's the Nickleback of cookies. So I have to quietly "enjoy" my cookie while my mind festers in a sea of disgust at this conundrum. Do I get mad? Should I be grateful? Why in the world have they made this? Is this Satan's cookie, meant to divide people so he can eventually conquer the earth? Why am I so obsessed with this situation?
Well, my wife upon leaving for a store visit told me, "behave."
"I always do," says I with a hint of sarcasm in my tone.
"Oh yes," says she "but it is in how you behave that lands you trouble huh?"
"Nah," says I "I married her so as to quit falling into her, didn't work out though."
I enjoyed reading that! I know some people that work for Cargill, processing turkeys. The only good thing about that industry is how they found a way to use ALL of the by-products for fertiliser and diesel fuel.Yeah, I understand that fully. Can even respect it.

Raisins belong in trail mix, Chunky candy bars and by themselves ONLY.
I agree in a cookie, cake or *shudder* stuffing they become abominations.
I feel that way with most nuts also. Except walnuts, those are god's way of saying fuck ya and have some bitter shit.
Ohh yes, the stuffing, it makes what would otherwise be great inedible. Your list is pretty much complete, though I don't mind them in breakfast breads, read bread, not cakes. Like an english muffin with raisins in it with some cinnamon sugar and butter on top is pretty good. That'd be the only addition I'd have to acceptable uses for raisins, well they're also good slingshot ammo but that's not food... or it could be with good enough aim.
Aye. Worked for Pilgrim's, and before it was them it was Wampler's and I worked for them, before that I believe it was "RockO" which was Rockingham Company/Corporate with the last bit affectionately dropped off, before that I think Holly Farms or Shady Farms. I did a little work when it was "RockO" but not full time and had to avoid the knives and blades due to being a minor. I was 15/16. I shoveled up what was dubbed "feathers" for the protein trucks. It was offal that got augured into the trucks, the by product went to all kinds of various things from feed stock to fertilizer, fuel. Real fun hoisting around 200lbs buckets of that toward shift end and feeling like a beat down pile of dung.

I've finally decided on mini-wheats... because I got side-tracked watching that "truth about cancer" thing... so I STILL haven't eaten. No biggie; this is pretty much my normal time for "breakfast," I just happened to get up a bit earlier than usual today.
Andria
Ha ha, you actually sleep.
Lucky at times if I can eek out four to six hours. There's times I take fits of only two hours. Of course, it seems lately I'm pulling the kindergärtner bit and having pass out time with our dog Shrek, the Mighty Dog that he is, incapable of fighting the sleepy monster in the bed covers. Speaking of which ... just might. Yes, mom, after I do at least one character synopsis. * wanders on to do that *

My way good sir?
I'm still trying to convince my boss siestas would be a good idea.Ha ha, you actually sleep.

TRUTH!! Dry or flood, no in between. Hank recommended the Boreas to me too... I'll see how the serpent does but I'll probably pick up a Boreas too.
I don't like raisins either. Or olibs. Olibs are gross, even in a martooni
Olives are good for 2 things, putting on your fingers and throwing at people. They are poisonous unless cured, why would people eat them!?TRUTH!! Dry or flood, no in between. Hank recommended the Boreas to me too... I'll see how the serpent does but I'll probably pick up a Boreas too.

Boreas is nice, but that 25mm tank, it's a beast. Glad I got it, I love it, but that's the one thing I'd stress on considering to people before purchase is understand the size of that bad boy, I could see that being a turnoff, other than that it's a beautiful design and tank.
Still having problems?Hello everyone, here for now, but could be gone at any time, internet is acting up!
