About toilet paper, the large industrial/institutional rolls can still be had. I stocked up with a case of this kind.
That's for sure, Don29. They always want to be around you.
One thing alot of people don't know is back in the day pitbulls were called Nanny dogs. People had pitbulls because of their extreme loyalty and protective nature. Especially the females. They would treat children as their puppies. In my opinion you can't ask for a better breed of dog. I've had a pitbull all of my adult life.
I always figured the nature of a pitbull depends on the nature of the owner. I've met quite a few and they were great dogs with a lot of character. But if someone wants their pit to be aggressive and hostile the dog will oblige. They don't come out of the box like that. It makes some folks feel good to have a scary dog.
That's true of any animal really. You can make any animal including humans mean. Another fun fact about dogs. The breed of dog that has the highest amount of bites in the US is chihuahuas. They obviously don't cause a large amount of damage because of their size. Unfortunately the way people treat small dogs can make them very insecure and prone to bite.
P.S. Fortunately most of those so called mean dogs if taken away from bad owners can be rehabilitated. There have been many dogs taken from fight circles and have been retrained and make good pets.

Theres a reason those dogs scare the beejeebees out of me.
We had a perfect example of that probably 15 years ago.We got a pit that had been a drug dealers dog,he would beat the crap out of her trying to make her aggressive,but she would not get mean,so he gave her to my brother,he couldn't keep her,so we took her in.Very loving dog,and hated not being around people.She was instantly attached to my wife and wouldn't leave her side,but my wife was scared to death of her haha.She had been bitten by a pit when she was a kid and has always been scared of them since,but still no matter where she went in the house the dog was right there with her.
Hi everyone. Been busy mask making 
I have also been reading up on Cytokine Storms (inflammatory response our bodies do to invaders like Covid 19, it causes the body to shut down). Research has shown certain things can dampen a Cytokine Storm so the person does not go into organ shut down like what happens with Covid. Stimulating the Vegas Nerve works ( washing face with cold water, humming OMmmmmm) and the surprise Nicotine. Now when lungs are compromised it would be wise to not inhale but just hold Vapor in your mouth or just use lozenges and gum etc. if you need nic in another form. I found the references in this scientific paper. You can read the summary at the end, it is a very technical paper.

Another possible way to keep from getting covid is taking Vit D and Vit C supplements. The Vit D seems to block the ability of Covid to attach to receptors. Worth a try! I upped my C and D just incase Just a suggestion

Seems there's many things that can create a tolerance for Covid-19. I take a multivitamin and an extra B complex. You want to watch your intake of fat soluble vitamins. They can build up in your system.
I take a multiple vitamin but added extra C and D. As we age we usually get low on both so Dr added D to my vitamins. I take extra B complex if I get a shingles attack as it supports nerve health. But there is some problem with too much B so I just use it as an extra boost when needed. I do eat right so that helps too. I prefer food and vitamins/minerals to stay healthy, there is always some pathogen trying to get us LOL
I would presume that if you are so ill that your body has entered a cytokine storm you would be in the ICU and would have no access to nicotine. I doubt the doc would have read this article or would care to listen to you recite nicotines benefits. In that case just ask for a nicotine patch for your "addiction" and save yourself the trouble.Hi everyone. Been busy mask making

I just decanted my first batch of nic ever.
All in all, I'm not complaining about anything.
But a word of caution about the HV phenolic caps. They can bust very easily if you tighten them down too hard. Don't use a rag or anything, just your bare hands. I used a wet rag to tighten one and it broke very easily. Luckily I bought more caps than I needed. Very brittle.
- HeartlandVapes House nic 100mg PG (bought and dated Jan 2020)
- Put in freezer immediately upon receipt.
- About 2x-3x yellower than Nov 2019 HV nic,
- Smell was weak to me. It was there, but no obnoxious at all.
- NicSelect nic 100mg PG (bought and dated Nov 2019)
- Kept in garage for a couple weeks in cool weather.
- About 2x as yellower than Jan 2019 HV nic.
- About 2x stronger smell as Jan 2019 HV nic.
- HeartlandVapes House nic 100mg PG (bought and dated Nov 2019)
- Kept in garage for a couple weeks in cool weather.
- Almost clear. Can't see in the pic, but it's slightly yellow.
- Smell was about the same as the HV Jan 2020.

The smell (on all the above) is the same thing I smell when I vape up a room with the windows open in cool, damp weather. I recognized it as too as I smelled it. Some say it's a wet dog smell. I guess that's about right.

If you are ordering glass bottles to decant nic and have a choice between colored and clear, go with the colored. I think amber is best at protecting against light, but blue or green is better than clear. If what you have on hand is clear, you can wrap them in tinfoil.
Fwiw.. Most vitamin C is fake.. Chemical industry got it approved because it looks the same under a microscope.. Real vitamin C won't contain ascorbic acid. Look for products made from plants..
Foods rich in vitamin C include broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, kale, kiwi, orange juice, papaya, red, green or yellow pepper, sweet potato, strawberries, and tomatoes.
I'll be storing everything in little boxes inside my freezer. They will get no light even when I open my freezer.
I'm only using brown bottles for my working bottle. Long-term stash gets clear because I can see at a glance how it's aging over the years. But if I feel it's necessary I can wrap in foil as you said.
Hey, long time no see. Yesterday I thought about how I haven't seen you post recently.
I thought you might have bugged-out to a mountain cabin or in an underground bunker. Not joking.
It may be man made, but it's still the real deal. I've been taking the ascorbic acid form of Vitamin C for some 15 years. It works.
