Good morning y'all. We drove up to take my wife's 96 year old mother out for dinner yesterday. She lives in an assisted care facility about 2 and a half hours from us. Drove home then went to my son-in-law's grandmother's house for more turkey. She makes a fantastic bird. Today is second Thanksgiving at my son-in-law's parent's house. Ham and turkey and all the fixin's. So I won't be on much again today. I hope everyone had a great day yesterday! :cheers:

Wow, someone hit the lottery on Thanksgiving weekend. Not only time with family but multiple feedings without having to clean up the mess from cooking it.... Just so you know I would be applauding you but I am too busy writing this wisdom down.... Lets see here, have my children get married... Make sure they marry those from big families. Make sure my children's spouses know how to cook. Chances are they were taught by their family. Ok I think I got this.... Thank you ole wise one.... lol

All kidding aside, I think it is awesome you got to spend time with your family. Even better that the family worked out a way so everyone got to spend time together, even if it means multiple dinners. That's just shows how much a family cares for one another. Cherish those moments because not many get the chance to do so. I hope today is filled with as much joy as yesterday. Make it a holiday weekend to remember. Enjoy and we shall see you when you get back.

Ok I'm back

Welcome back. Good to see you this afternoon. I am having such a wonderful day. Actually slept for 9 hours only waking once because of my hand and/or trips to the restroom. I think the carbs put me out like a light. I know eating before sleep is bad but I'll take a night's sleep once in a while over anything recently... Hope all is going well with you Jimi. Anything new or exciting going on?

True, my family is on both coasts now (and far away) so I haven’t been seeing them that much.
If my in laws asked me if I could cook before I got married, I’d have been in deep trouble!!

I’m glad that the daughter of Thanksgiving was tasty!
I haven’t done any buying yet really, except flavors at ECX. But that don’t mean I won’t! lol

Have you tried herbal tea before bed? When I can’t sleep, I make a tea from loose chamomile, red clover, skullcap and hops. Sometimes I add a pinch of European Mistletoe. I can knock my old man out with that tea!

I feel you on that one. Like I said, wonderful day... Darn blood pressure pill has be up and going to the restroom all hours of the night. Not sure how a diuretic helps with blood pressure but it was added to my prescription a few months back... Add that to pain management or lack thereof after the surgeries and I hardly sleep at all.

It sure is, I'd sleep for a week if I ate that much Turkey:giggle:

Hi Rhianne, Goin pretty good here, how you doin today my friend? Awe thank you:hug::hug:


I woke up feeling achy like I was coming down with something but I’m okay now. :wth: I thought I was okay!! I don’t want antibiotics which a doctor would want me to take. But I’ve been out of echinacea and garlic, so they might help. (Garlic is really a last resort. lol)

How’s the garden now that it’s colder? :hug: Nice hanging out with you and playing the MG.

Maybe it’s like on a submarine when they let water out or something. :giggle: The pressure goes down?

Maybe get some decent herbal sleep tea?

Yeah been using chamomile and I add a hopp once in a while, I usually use nutmeg, drops me like a rock;), but been outta it, have to use whole nut and grind it fresh for the sleeping effect;). My biggest problem is waking wet and having to get up and change clothes and bedding each time:eek:

I still remember my father jokingly saying he took mom from grandma far too soon. Grandma was such a great cook. My mother, not so much....Let's just say after dad passed on, I moved in with her for a spell and was the cook. lol It's all good, as long as there is someone that learned how to cook. Can't eat out all the time....

I use to have to take BP meds, gout meds and collesterol meds too but then I had to totally change my diet because of my disease and it straightened all that out now I don't take anything except Vicodine for my pain.

That is exactly why I fear taking sleep aids.... Seems that has been an issue throughout my family as well....

Hello in here! Just finished ordering more nicotine for the vaping apocalypse. I picked up more coils at eight vape. I wanted to buy more berserker 1.5 but they are hard to find. I have one and I do love it. @Rhianne What mod did you buy at central vapes that you said you didn't like? I hope its not the punk.
I made two orders for BF and I'm already exhausted. Hubs bought two outdoor grill covers at Ace Hardware. That is the extent of our BF sales so far. I would make a order at VapeNW but dam the shipping is 11.25.

I posted some articles for cold/flu prevention and help to get through if you do get it in my health articles, I like elderberry through the winter just in case but with being wet every night I guess it doesn't matter cause I am destine to have a cold all winter:gaah: It's so nice to have you hanging out here with us:hug::hug:.

Great to hear your diet fixed a lot of those things.... I really need to start taking better care of myself but right now just feel so low not working and dealing with pain management until the day I can go back to work....

That so sucks, I’m sorry. I’m angry that they told you to take that stuff! :hug:
I forgot about the nutmeg. I’ll have to look for it.

Jimi, where are you getting your Palm VG?

But eventually I did learn to cook, so it worked out! My mom was a horrible cook, though. I never knew how good steak was until my mil made it for me. My mom made everything well done. :blech:

No, it’s an Eleaf iPower. It’s really bad, even for a beater.

I love the two Teslas I got from Central!! The Punk is great, you’ll love it. On sale, it’s amazing. I had pics of mine in the Hand Check last week.

I bought Jean a Berserker, the rebuildable one, and liked it so well I had to have one, one of my favorites for a MTL

You’ve got to start slow with it. Just use a bit less sugar or ear a bit less sweet stuff. Eat a bit more veggies or fruit. If you try to change all at once, you’ll feel horrible imho. It takes a while to make changes like that. It took me about a year to get off sugar.

My mother was the same way. Finally not only got her to try Medium cooked steak, but now see her ordering it more than once on her own when we go out to catch up. She still thinks I am crazy to eat mid-rare to rare but I like it that way. To each their own I guess....

YES, you really should, I am really into improving health and diet is one of the most key things to better health. I've posted several articles on it in my health thread. It has kept topside for a while now

mine is from a cancer drug side effect that is gonna plague me all my life:eek:

So sorry to hear. I didn't know. My reasons for fearing sleep aids is my mother takes 2 different pills to go to sleep. Major narcotics. I see what she deals with and I just won't do it. I'll live within my means and work less hours rather than suffer to have everything and still be miserable.

I bought 1 punk a few months back. I do love it. Just checking to make sure it wasn't a punk. :) I plan on buying two as xmas gifts since I can't find the aspire melus anywhere in the states. If I do before xmas I will have 2 extras for me.
I bought Jean a Berserker, the rebuildable one, and liked it so well I had to have one, one of my favorites for a MTL
It's my only rebuildable besides the kanger subox rba I can use. I have a rba hastar mtl I haven't even opened from awhile ago. I figure it will be for the future.

I agree with you 100% on that. those sleepin pills cause heart problems too. I use to take them but have gone all natural and now I don't have to use anything most nights.

I can’t eat well done meat. Fooey. I love a good rare steak, but started eating it medium rare when they were warning about getting sick from meat here. If I can get good meat, I’ll broil it rare-ish. I can get some pretty good meat from farms round here, but it’s pricey.

I’ve had steak tartare, it was yummy.
