Aint it a bitch to deal with First World problems?
j/k been there…
Me IRL:
There are good things about getting old… Actually, there are many things good in my life as I age. Kids all grown and doing well, grandchildren, no more menses, no birth control worries, easier finances… But, there is just one really icky thing that bothers me on a daily basis; Pain . Not sleeping well, dealing with heartburn more often, wrinkles, and gaining weight, are all nuisances, but the new Pains… Yeah, PAIN is my Nemesis. Don’t care for it at all.
Yup. And the damn tests. Went in for a physical first of the week. Came home with a fist full of crap to read to prep for health care professionals to torture me. Don’t eat for a week. Drink this crap that will make you have diarrhea for three days. Come on over and we’ll shove a tube up your ass! Oh yea!!!
I hate when I THOUGHT it would be a good idea to break down a 500ml big NIC container into smaller 60ml amber glass bottles while asleep on my feet. What could go wrong, right ??
Ummmm …
I had just pulled the BIG shipping container out of the freezer, and broke out my trusty funnel and started filling smaller glass bottles. Apparently while sleep filling, I overfilled the bottles (not leaving enough of an air gap), and after capping them all tightly was greeted with a POP, … then another POP, and so on. WTF !!! ??? A few of the tops literally POPPED off. Crap, forgot to leave enough air gap. Start shuffling the bottles around to replace the popped tops, and chink chink, managed to crash one bottle WITHOUT a popped top into another bottle, and one shattered. Nothing like cleaning up some 100mg NIC with broken glass, while you’re asleep on your feet.
Good thing I had gloves on LOL. NEVER break down NIC tired.
I know this the hate page, but the Irish in me says I love that people even share their mistakes on here.
The nic salts I ordered are getting close, and I ordered glass bottles to break it down. Your sharing will prevent others from making the same mistake.
Sorry that you lost all that nic though, I do hate that.
PS I’m not really Irish.
I hope so @marsh8. Guess I was more tired than I realized. Broken down liters upon liters, always into glass, never had an issue. Best guess was that the bulk container was indeed freezer chilled and put it into all the smaller bottles chilled without letting it warm up, and capped tightly, no air gap, and they expanded JUST enough as they did warm, causing the issue.
