Are you done stocking up?

[Uncle]

Which is why a vial of insulin can be $350 when it costs $30 in Canada. Just plain evil.

YEP - And Thankfully, I know I am extremely lucky, as someone who is disabled and is also a Senior now to have both - Medicare/Medicaid - that pays for the Insulin (just started a month ago) and the supplies, along with most of the others meds I NEED to survive too . . .

AND - Before anyone says anything - YES, I am one of those who gets and NEEDS Government Assistance - If didn't have it, I would probably be dead by now, since I would NEVER EVER be able to afford all the Meds & the equipment I NEED & have either . . . Like so many others I know and especially in the community where I live, "We" can't wait to see how much more is actually planned to be taken away now - from SS Benefits/Medicare/Medicaid/Food Stamps/Meals on Wheels/etc. . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Okay - Rant Over - "My" Bad, really should have posted this in the "Outside" or "Lounge" since this is Extremely "OFF TOPIC" . . . I know "We" should be continuing the actual "Subject/Topic" of this thread, however the change of the discussion has hit a button . . . "My" Apologizes . . .


Now - "We" really should go back to the - Original Topic of this Thread:

Nobody is taking anything away from anyone. Alot of us are in the same boat as you.

Actually washed all 24 of mine. The biggest problem was I didnt use dryer sheets and they created massive static.

Maybe the static will make them more "effective"?

My local grocery store was restocking toilet paper. They were restocking everything.

Unc, those 1.2 ohm coils are kanthal/3mm diameter. I have some tiny ones coming to try in some rba heads. No idea when they’ll catch the plane here. Apparently *I* thought more coils were needed

I thought that was the free gift!

I think using them on towels messes with how absorbent they are though.

Yes, that seems to be the consensus.

Yes, machine oil/harbor freight smell is free (although I suspect it's actually included in the price ).

Sadly, harbor freight has done away with the free item coupons, except for that blue, magnetic flashlight. These rags used to be one free coupon that I used to wait for. (actually they may have been smaller than the ones linked to, but they were still free).

I stopped using fabric softener in the wash a few years ago. Hate it because it definitely leaves an oil-like residue on the clothes. Still use dryer sheets, though. Never noticed that residue, but I'm sure it's there. It's ALWAYS THERE. MMMMWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Hey everybody just wanted to pop my head in and send hugs and cheer to all y’all here. Crazy times! But I need to thank all you again for being here ...looking at my “vape prepping” stuff and just so, so glad I have it. All the mods, bits and pieces, and thanks to so many of you, the knowledge that it exists! I wouldn’t have known about 85% of it if I hadn’t read it here.

I’m not here to offer any opinions about what’s going on...just hope everyone is doing what is best for them and their loved ones.

Also...just watching the calendar days flip closer and closer to the PMTA deadline...I feel awful that it is going to happen under the radar. The situation today is obviously sucking all of the air out of the room...but nobody ever cared about us smokers but us. I reckon I’ll be back around on the boards more regularly once it comes to pass...I just don’t have much left to contribute here at the moment. Hoping everyone feels confident with their choices & stockpile and I look forward to being here with y’all more frequently once the SHTF.

Hugs to you all...solidarity

My daughter and I went to sams club today. Not for TP because I knew there wouldn’t be any. Just for some vitamins and coffee. I thought that they might have paper towels and I’d grab some since we were getting low but nope. Evidently those must be the second choice behind Tp. Looks like the plumbers are going to be busy this year if people are flushing paper towels.

The last day I went shopping before I was asked to self quarantine I was going to pick up some coffee. It was 10am on a weekday and usually the store is empty. But, oh no, there was mass panic with carts full of paper towels and TP. I was like you gotta be kidding. I figured I better get some or I might be .... out of luck (pun intended) when I really needed it.

 

[markfm]

One advantage of being a home roaster, I always have lots of coffee on hand. There's a nice PNG bean coming in, should be here Tuesday: Dried Fig, Graham Cracker, Milk Chocolate, Vanilla

who is paying those amounts for tests??? Lol

The WHO donated 50,000 kits to the CDC but our government refused permission of use.

I work under the assumption that I & everyone has a positive test result... Dont see the reason to spend $1000-$3000 for a test to confirm it when there isn't much in the cure department. That $$ better spent later down the road.

Yes, but if I and others test negative we can return to work and resume normal activities. Right now I am searching for delivery services because I'm running out of food....for my pet as well. Luckily, my pharmacy delivers.

I use those for some things.

I like the bar towels because I can bleach them and wash/dry them at high temps.
