It synthetic strawberry I don't like and the strawberry milkshakes.


And fucking hell I must have spent nearly £300-400 out of nearly £700 today on tools and other such lab supplies. And, I haven't even gotten STARTED yet:P

That and stuff for my video masterpiece, the chemistry lesson I'm working on, been beavering away at it all day, bar the time I was out to go pick up supplies. And enjoying myself immensely doing it. Just stopping for a quick fag break then its acid at the ready and let 'er rip:)

I thought ammonia was poisonous.

Don't drink very much of it. You'll be fine.

Also rinse silver products in cold water after using ammonia. No harm.

Do not worry about the rinse water either. Ammonia is great for plants.

A few rolls of boxing tape for my wrists, case of Angus Bubba Burgers and (Parts might know about dealing with this problem) two new garage door springs.

Yep my wife was headed out to work yesterday and she came back in to announce that the garage door would not work. Worried that the motor had failed, hoping that it was only a breaker, I realized right away that it was trying to work, but one of the coil springs had broken. I had to just muscle it up to get her on her way.

All better now but those things are such a pain in the ass to deal with!

Twenty table knives.  Somehow we were down to 2.  They were 10 cents apiece at the thrift store.  I had to examine them carefully since they had to have minimal or no serations.  These don't have to be locked up.  Bought a pack of batteries for the independent (?) mouse which was powerless to run the computer.

Why minimal or no serrations? I find that kind of knife a pain in the arse to use since they need so much pressure behind them they are crap for cutting up food. 'Specially a nice juicy piece of dead farm animal.

Bought a metric arseton of gas mask canisters, designed for dealing with multiple threat types, as well as various greases, solvents, tubing, teflon tape, tanks of argon. Treated myself to some diamond tipped glass and carbide-tipped ceramic/glass drills and various other things. For various other parts. Lol one of the hardware/welding stores even gave me some free stuff. Got a free stiff bristled brush thats perfect as a sensory stim toy amongst other things, some spray lubricant for example, that is able to resist high temperatures. Whether or not it will stand up to some of the things I'd end up subjecting it to (no not that type of lube, this has to resist 200 'C

The PR was into cutting not too long ago.  Anything sharp (knives, can openers, ice picks, sewing needles, etc.) is kept under lock and key.  She only uses a knife to spread mayonnaise on her bread.  I have cut her food for her for years since she never mastered cutting with one hand, even with an adapted knife.

Nah, just a Logitech thingy. One of those ergonomic keyboards--the Logitech kind used to be called "Wave". I've been using them for years.

One of these. It looks small on there, but it's as big as a tote/large shoulder bag. I quite like it, it's quite lovely. :)
