Buying a syringe - embarassing

[kathy9225]

LMAO.... I wasn't the least bit embarrased about buying a syringe.
They came with my bulk ink... one for each colour.

So, naturally... I broke the black one

I had been screwing around with the cart to start with... and had ink EVERYWHERE...

This was when there were paper taxes, and I had several sets DUE by the next day.

Off I dashed to the pharmacy... and found the owner... "BRIAN, I HAVE to have a SYRINGE."

Lord, did that man look at me FUNNY.

"What are you going to DO with it," he wanted to know.

"I'm going to fill my ink cart, so I can print these **#@# taxes, that are DUE tomorrow."

He looked over my ink covered self, and determined that maybe he should sell me a syringe... lmao

So... he asked what gague I wanted...

"H*** I dunno, you pick, whatever gauge is right for ink."

He handed me a couple... charged me a quarter, and wished me luck.

The next day (at work) I handed my little bro HIS set of taxes, and told him the story...

"OMG, Katt... you DIDN'T."

"Yeah, I did."

"Ok, everyone thinks you are kinda strange to start with, NEXT time, tell him it's for glue... I have some in my tool box for glue... or oil, you can use them for oil."

"What's weird about ink?"

"It's just WEIRD, now everyone is gonna think I don't pay you enough to afford to buy carts like everyone else."

So, next time... I told him (Brian) that I wanted to oil a door lock, it was sticking, and I couldn't find anything small enough to fit.
He was WAY kewl with THAT... handed me a couple, charged me a quarter, and wished me luck.

I have a couple kits on the way with 24-28 mg fluid that I know will be way too strong even for my sterk snusing self. Today I went to the farm supply store (CENEX) in my area and bought a gallon of 100% PG USP for $20 (horse diuretic, I guess) and then worked with a vet tech there to find a needle. I explained straight up that I needed it to fill up atomizers (didn't explain what that was and they didn't ask, though when the first gal I talked to tried to relate the information to the vet tech she called it an atomicizer which made me chuckle) and preferred a blunt tip 16 guage one. I ended up with a 3ml syringe ($.42) and a long and wickedly sharp 16 guage needle ($.27), went home, and with a dremel cut the end off the sucker with a cutting disk (I clipped the tip with a clothespin so it wouldn't fly into my eyeballs). Now it is blunt.

I guess I'm all set when my kit gets here.

Might as well throw in that I work at a drugstore, and we sell syringes out of the pharmacy no questions asked. I would rather sell an addict a fresh needle than have him borrow/share/reuse/dig one out of the trash. He's going to find a way to get his fix, and if he can't get clean needles, he's going to use scuzzy ones.

We just walk into our local feed store and ask for one in whatever size with or without a needle. No weird looks ever. They just hand it over and I pay. But they're used to everyone here medicating their own animals so its never a big deal.

Anyone tried computer shops for theirs? Ink cartridge refill systems use blunt-nosed needle syringes for topping up ink in the cartridges.

bingo!!!!!
