The only thing I'm saying is that I have a few bottles (not all) that actually have an expiration date stamped on them.

Jup, me too. lol But just not ready to get them yet. They're a want, to make juice making easier, but not a need right now. I want the smaller ones to put my flavors into. I'm torn about bigger ones to transfer nic into that comes in plastic bottles. (Once I can afford to get the nic that is). May decide to pay the higher price for the nic and get it in glass to begin with. If I get it at MFS, I hear they add some sort of gas to "fill" the bottle and keep air out before sealing, and I like that. Don't want to unseal, put in glass bottle then freeze. Not super fond of the idea of getting it in plastic to put in the freezer for long term storage. Just not sure on that. Currently have a couple wide mouth glass jars that I mix about a 1/2 liter of nic base into. Have toyed with replacing these and using a funnel to put it into a boston round, but like the idea that I can stir it in the jars I currently use. So most likely won't get the bigger ones.
I get what you're saying and per later post, yeah they do put expiration dates on some of them. But it's like many things.....2 years is considered an absolute safe time for keeping store bought juice if not stored improperly, but it may in fact be perfectly fine for several years after that. Kinda like food, to protect themselves, they put an absolutely safe date, but it will likely be good a long time after that for many things.
That's fantastic, so just send me your vaping credit card, and I'll make sure you don't use it
Oh, I forgot about those magnets! Lol! [emoji38] I'd be keeping the DL far, far away from the mod, tho. [emoji15]

Darn, beat me to it!!
Of course, there's a big difference between need and want... Shinyitis is a pernicious affliction, and can strike without warning. All it takes is a brief glint of light, or someone here saying "have you seen the new..."
Jup. Got a sneakin feelin he aint gonna fall for it though.Darn, beat me to it!!

Scrap the Container and Packaging one. Minimum order for the bottles I wanted was 60.Jup, me too. lol But just not ready to get them yet.

I trust you guys with my life, but not with my credit card.
@disallowedword:
I finally checked my mail and the envelope you sent me was there.
Incredibly, there was a tiny hole in the plastic bag, a tiny hole in the envelope, and no tiny screw. Waahh!
I cannot even imagine how that could have happened.

USPS?
Should have put some paper and stuff in there with it to make them not send it thru the thin envelope sorting machine.
USPS?
Yes, a freak occurrence in my opinion. Then again, if you've seen the speed at which letters travel and the instant deceleration when they stop during automated processes, you wouldn't be totally shocked. I would have thought it much more likely for the screw to escape through an end of the envelope, though, rather than through the front.
Hole in envelope within the red outline, hole in plastic bag within the green outline.
Thanks all for the replies.
Although that might have helped, let me explain the process:
All letters are sent through the same machinery. Those that don't fit are kicked out by the machinery. It's all automated; no pre-separation is done by humans.
Ohh I know but if it did not fit it would not have gone thru the tight rollers which caused the screw to cut it's way out.
btw a good jeweler might have a correct sized screw for you?
A specialist in repairing old watches?
Or clocks actually. Watch screws are too tiny. I used to work on watches and clocks when I was LOTS younger. Was good at it.
Might be a screw that size in a pocket watch?
I'm not sure that any mail passes through rollers. It's whipped around at great speeds by belts, often traveling hundreds of feet, and stops instantly when it reaches its destination slot. I'm no expert on mail processing, though. In addition I have not kept up with changes since I retired over 4 years ago.
It has to be pinched to be able to stop that fast and start up and not just fly away. Belt on one side but rollers at the scanner station?
This video is 7 years old but has some good footage of mail traveling through various pieces of automation:
This is a good one too:
