Dear family and friends, I know that you were eager to accept our family's invitation to Thanksgiving dinner when you found out that the famous Martha Stewart would be joining us. However, due to scheduling conflicts beyond her control, Ms. Stewart finds that she is unable to grace our table this year. With that in mind, there will be a few minor changes regarding the meal and decor, as outlined below. Please be aware of them, and adjust your appetite and dress appropriately. Thank you 1) Our driveway will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After several trial runs and two visits from the fire department, it was decided that, no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. 2) Once inside, please note that the entry space will not be decorated with swags of Indian corn and fall foliage. Instead, we included our dog in decorating by having him track in colorful autumn leaves from the back yard. The mud was his idea. 3) The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy china, or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this is Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the paper SpongeBob dinner plates, the leftover Halloween napkins, and our plastic cup collection. 4) Our centerpiece will not be a tower of fresh fruit and flowers. Instead we will be proudly displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper and pine cones. The artist assures me it is a turkey, albeit one without wings, legs, or a beak. 5) We will be dining somewhat later than planned. However, our daughter will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure she will be happy to share every choice comment her mother made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims, stuffing choices, the turkey hotline, and, especially, her husband. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 7:00AM upon discovering that said husband had only remembered to pull the turkey from the freezer at 6:00 AM, and that the thing was still hard enough to cut diamonds. 6) As an accompaniment to our daughter's recital of these events, I will play a recording of Native American tribal drumming. Curiously, the tribal drumming sounds a great deal like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, but that only enhances the holiday appropriateness. If our daughter should mention that we don't own a recording of Native American tribal drumming, ignore her. She's only nine; what does she know? 7) A dainty silver bell will not be rung to announce the start of our feast. We have chosen to keep our traditional method of assembling when the smoke alarm goes off. 8) There will be no formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask all the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door. And I would like to take this opportunity to remind our younger diners that "passing the rolls" is neither a football play nor an excuse to bean your cousin in the head with bread. 9) The turkey will not be carved at the table. I know you have seen the Norman Rockwell image of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. Such a scene may occur somewhere in America , but it won't be happening at our dinner table. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in the kitchen at a private ceremony. I stress "private", meaning Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children, or older, helpful grandparents into the kitchen to check on my progress. I have a very large, very sharp knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win the battle. When I do, we will eat. 10) For the duration of the meal, we will refer to the gravy by its lesser-known name: Kraft Cheese Sauce. If a young diner questions you regarding the origins or makeup of the Kraft Cheese Sauce, smile kindly and say that you know the answer, but it's a secret that can't be revealed to them until they are 18. 11) Instead of offering a choice among 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and dog tongue marks. You still have a choice: take it or leave it. That concludes our list of alterations. Again, I apologize that Martha will not be joining us this year. Come to think of it, she probably won't come next year, either. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

So sorry to hear you've been sick. I hope you're feeling better by now. I never did get to liking the cartos. They just don't quite cut it for me. Glad you're liking the eGo. Happy Vaping!!

Trying my licorice from Tasty Vapor again.

Too much vaping? I don't think there is such a thing. LOL Actually, I do vape a lot more than I smoked. But I would have smoked a lot more if not for the cost. I have noticed nothing negative about vaping too much other than when I was vaping high nic and vaping too much. I got lightheaded and a bit dizzy then. I fixed that by lowering my nic level. Now I don't have any problems at all. I do drink a lot of liquid while vaping and maybe that's why I'm doing okay with it. I don't know. I just know I enjoy vaping, I vape whenever I feel like it, and it works for me.

That's so sweet!!!

Great review!! You two should do a lot more.

Fantastic!! So glad it's working out for you. I remember how much fun it was counting down the hours, then the days, and then the months. And it's still fun. I love to look at my banner and just grin because the days keep adding up. Ask away!! We'll answer. Happy Vaping!!

Thanks for letting me know! I sure do like the looks and sounds of them. But every time I look, they are always unavailable. How did you manage to get one? Lucky you!

It will be a quiet day here. Just me, my husband, one daughter, our son, our daughter-in-law, and four of our grandchildren. I always do the cooking...turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, stuffing, cherry salad (a 5 generation family tradition recipe), homemade dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, peanut clusters (another generational recipe tradition), homemade cherry mash candy, chex mix, and snack crackers. Simple, but very good.

Um...Did I say I have to buy more flavorings, but I'm going to try these because they sound yummy? Okay, I did, but I'm saying it again.

Yep, that's how it works.

I have to buy a couple more flavorings, but I'm going to try these. Sounds yummy!! Thanks missty!

I've ordered from them Uma, but as with other pre-made juices, I can't taste them. There were a couple that I got a very slight taste from, but not enough to know if it was good or not. I still have a few of them and I just add my own flavorings to them. Couldn't stand to waste them. Sorry I can't help you with this one.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm

Nice review!

Yeah!! So glad it's there. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

I haven't been able to come up with a good coffee either, Brian. I'd vape mint chocolate chip if I could find a good chocolate. So, I guess you'll have to stick to drinking your coffee and eating your mint chocolate chip cookies while vaping your wonderful peanut butter tobacco mix, huh?

We feel your pain...we really do. So very sorry... Maybe tomorrow? If not, I'll be watching the news....

Yeah, that and mint chocolate chip cookie... Well? Brian?

They are a great place to order liquid from. They change their specials all the time, so that may have been a special you missed out on lightbringer. Back in December, they had a buy one get one free special on their nic liquid. I don't even want to admit how many bottles of Atomic Fireball (that's what they called it then) I ordered. Needless to say I had a wonderful backup supply of liquid for several months!! I've never seen that special again, but boy I'd jump all over it if they ever did it again, that's for sure.

Very funny. They did a good job on it, too.

You are mostly certainly remembered. So good to hear from you again. So sad to hear about this. I thought I'd never again be tempted, but maybe I shouldn't be so sure of myself. I hope you go back to vaping and once again forget all about those nasty analogs. But no matter what, you are always welcome here. And if you need some help...we're always here for you.

Congrats Kitsune!! Glad you're liking it.

Fantastic Kitsune!!! I only wish I had something worthwhile to add to this.
