Probably a vintage Norlund you picked up for $5.00.

If not, that'll be next.

You have some damn good luck.

It comes and it goes,  but I do seem to be on a roll lately with axes.

[Lestat]

At least if you ever get a burglar or burglars, parts, they are going to be in for an almighty shock when they find out who's house they just broke into. An axe in the bonce  generally seems to be agreed to achieve that sort of result There seem to be less reports of people being found with about twenty of them there, but I should think that would be rather offputting to the burglar community, if word were to get around from a crippled and badly sliced up, beaten battered and bruised 'example' made of one you probably wouldn't get any more, given the sorts of things you seem to keep hanging about, parts.

Then again, I can hardly talk, given that I'd  most likely resort to chemical warfare of the most unpleasant sort in a similar predicament

I bought Tim Tams for the autism group I'm going to tomorrow. Mmmm, chocolate that I shouldn't be having.

[Lestat]

Why not? you could look at it from the point of view of cocoa containing caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, other methylxanthines etc. that act to open the airways. This applies to dark chocolate mind you, (which is generally also consumed in thin slices rather than bulky blocks), and also meant to be good for the heart. So why not switch, if you don't already, to dark chocolate? there are some excellent high cocoa dark chocolates available, with flavourings like orange, lime essential oils, chili pepper (lovely combination) and perhaps my favourite, salted. 95% cocoa with little chunks of salt in it...oh my..I'm normally not a chocolate hog, I'm not much for milk chocolate, although I'll certainly eat it if I'm offered some, but I won't buy it, at least not chocolate bars, I don't include things like mars/snickers bars in that, and other stuff coated in milk chocolate.

But otherwise, I find it too sweet really, I like the really high cocoa, bitter dark chocolate best, white 'chocolate' I find to be insipid crap fit for little more than decorating foodstuffs.

I did have a few times, yellow chocolate, with a banana flavour, that was good too.

Bought a Blu-ray.

[Lestat]

Not bought it yet, but I need to get some concentrated (I'll go for something like 85%, since its orthophosphoric I want, rather than the highly viscous and powerful dehydrating agent, polyphosphoric acid(-s, there are a group of them, all thick and glorpy with similar properties, a strong, nonoxidizing acid. I need something stronger than HCl, but my go-to acids otherwise are sulfuric acid and HNO3, diluted as needs be, from white fuming nitric acid. And when concentrated, sulfuric acid is oxidizing enough to give not just some HBr but also oxidize HBr to Br2, and of course nitric acid is a well known powerfully oxidizing acid; so phosphoric acid will be ideal, for making HBr from H3PO3 and an alkali metal bromide)

Also, just watched american dad, woke up too late, annoyingly, to catch family  guy on ITV2 +1, so caught american dad and then flicked it over to the horror channel.

I bought a big giant pack of toilet paper.

I bought a big giant pack of toilet paper. 

i did the same thing a couple of days ago. Can't have too much toilet paper.

[Lestat]

Yeah, well, but I doubt yours was used when you bought it Ren *points and laughs at the overgrown rat*

[mdagli1]

How long have you been doing that in the mirror?

[Queen Victoria]

A local chain drugstore is closing their store closest to me.  I picked up some good buys at 70% a few days ago.  I thought they might have the rest of the stuff marked down to 10% since they probably had to have the store clear by July 1.  Well, the store was closed this morning.  Better luck for me next time I hope.
