Sars Cov 2 … the grinder continues to eat away at resources and humanity.

Nope, didn't get it. I don't think she'll mind. We're not the only smokers on the planet. Might help someone else, too. Thanks.

I sent it again, TB, so if CC doesn't mind I'm going to simply cut and paste it here.

I'm going to suggest you buy one pound of Ohm Red and one pound of Ohm Yellow and when they arrive take a tupperware type storage tub and mix 'em together gently.

If you want Marlboro in the red pack use a regular or what they call "full flavor" tube with the brown/tan filter. If you want a Marlboro light use the same tobacco mix and a "light" or white filteporn links.

If you buy two pounds of tobacco get yourself four boxes of tubes; it takes about half a pound of tobacco to make a carton (200 cigarettes). So two pounds is four cartons of smokes. Figure about $14 for each pound of tobacco and maybe $4 per box of 200 tubes and you'll have a final cost of about $1.10 per pack or $11 per carton of cigarettes. Or "what we paid in the olden days"...lol.

Even better, it's gonna be just tobacco and paper; none of the 400+ chemicals they use on the commercial stuff. I smoke a bit less since I started rolling my own and don't have any of the side effects; coughing, morning congestion, etc. I had when I used the commercial smokes.

You guys need to start watching the Gulf of Oman very closely right now...

I'm in a class so not much time to post details

I'm hoping I can find what I need....shoes, more winter clothes, clothes....I have been slacking in that dept trying to shore up my food and water and electricity/heat items for the winter

A seriously good one, too! If I had room for ice cream it would be Tofts, though. That's our local dairy.

Hopefully you can find what you need while people are still focused on summer. I knew our Navy Exchange wouldn't have jack, so I stocked up before we moved on clothes, shoes, etc.

It takes all my strength to stay out of the gelato!

Something I thought of earlier today.

Even if you don't sew, but together a little kit. Regular straight pins, safety pins-asst. sizes, needles-asst. sizes, white and black thread and a good pair of scissors or snips that STAY in the kit. Ours have grown legs and evolved over time! Lol A tape measure, seam ripper, small bottle of fray-check (a liquid type plastic that stopes fraying) and a pack of asst. buttons.

You can buy small kits if you don't want to go to a sewing/craft store. Put everything in a can or plastic container to keep it all together.

I was actually thinking of getting a sewing machine!

I can't sew but I'll learn. I have friends that sew all the time and I'm sure could give me some tips. I remember a few things from childhood like darning a sock with a lightbulb and sewing on buttons and basic hand stitches...

Riff, there was a short AC thread earlier today and I can't find it again to link it.

The OP said to watch Iran as Israel would be bombing them within 24 hours for retaliation over the tanker bombing the other day.

The "within 24 hours" is what caught my attention.

Great suggestion! I got one last year. We always have the little cheap ones for uniforms, but I wanted one that was an upgrade. I got mine from Amazon. I had to add a seam ripper. It's pretty basic, but I could take care of most small sewing jobs if necessary.

That's not the one I was looking for, but I've read that one too. You especially need to be careful. You know those dumb AFN commercials? They're irritating, but true.

Oh.

Another coronavirus variant has reached Florida. Here’s what you need to know.

Less than 50%

Carlos Migoya, CEO of Jackson Health System, told WPLG in Miami earlier this week that the B.1.621 variant has accounted for about 10 percent of coronavirus patients, trailing behind delta, the now-dominant variant in the United States that has been ravaging the nation’s unvaccinated, and the gamma variant. B.1.621 has yet to receive a Greek-letter designation as more prominent variants have.
