wasted a whole bottle of expensive loctite.
Like i grabbed my little thing of loctite. opened it. i felt the liquid plop down when I flipped it over to use some, but it wouldnt come out. and then the nozzle just exploded off and i got loctite everywhere.

Today is the 4th day in a row going to a funeral home. Visitation and service for an elderly aunt (RIP Molly Sue) and a cousin that was far too young (FU cancer!). While at one of the visitations I got a message that Mom's ex sister in law passed. (Loved her, mom kicked the 2nd husband to the curb but kept the in laws!).
Getting older sucks.
I think a few beers may die in their honor tonight...

Sorry for your losses... for something that is inevitable in our lives, you'd think it wouldn't hurt as much as it does. I'm sure they're smiling down on you right now and they're cracking a couple for you too. Enjoy your weekend and hopefully you can find some peace in the coming times, they all would've wanted you to.

*Me with shaky hands hunched over a bench like schmeegle*
Just one drop is all I need...
*Dumps half the bottle*

I've resorted to putting a little on a business card and dipping screws in it vs trying to regulate the amount screw by screw.

I use the stick mostly, on screws etc but I also keep liquid TL for easy application when its needed.

Threadlocker stick has been putting my Mid project together with not a single drop spilled!

I agree. Generally, for me, Threadlocker sticks are easier and less messy.

After all this time since covid came around, I think I may have gotten it for the first time. I don't go out, don't socialize, and rarely have anybody over except my son. My friend and his gf came by the other day for just a short visit, and sure as chit, I get sick. Now I've been laid up for five days, and I am hoping my son didn't get it. At least my chest feels a little better this morning. But today I'm aching all over, and I have yet another massive headache, and my sore throat is back

I use a wonderful tonic that helps with symptoms. 4 tbsp raw honey, 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar with mother and a couple of pinches of cinnamon in 16 ounces of filtered water. Life changing at this age

My wife wanted you married folks to have this....

idk wtf i did but the muscles in my back decided to cramp up like a mofo! hurts to breath right now.

Be careful, as long as your in California, cramping causes cancer!

I haven’t opened my transmitter yet, yet I’m paranoid about it. I gotta stop thinking about it.

Ironically, I use the same tonic mentioned above as it also works on these sometimes unbearable cramps. I feel your pain.

I know a solution
Don't get old

I am all out of apple cider vinegar, but will try the honey and cinnamon in some water and see how that helps. I have heard that remedy before.

Just got some mucinex in me a few hours ago and already feel a little better. But I will know after I get some sleep. If I can stay asleep more than a couple hours, I know I'm getting better.

It's fine
I crack like a rise Krispy when I get out of bed every morning

And I'm a bit loopy like a fruit loop!
