I live on my own so I get used to seeing and accepting thing in my home that others might think odd

Today is ‘medication day’ as I call it so have all my stuff ready

So I have an unexpected visitor.. invite them in.. they look at my coffee table and ask if I’m a junkie.. must have thought I had a good night last night


 
Yep, "Trainspotting."

I was caught out & tagged a junkie at college.

Like your coffee table, though.
 
@searley Forget the junkie stuff! Do you have a book about WD40?

It was my nickname at my senior school!
 
Used to use those syringes as water pistols.
WD40 the cure for everything. Almost as good as coconut oil.

Now i see the potential for rigging up some sort of mechanism to hide your gear on the next raid. (sorry "visitor.")
Just hit a switch & the top flips stowing your stuff discreetly out of sight?

A little like the prohibition "Speakeasy's" in 1920s US..
 

No that’s for the assault rifle!
 
Yep I was known as “ main liner “ when I was apprentice ,

My preference is Litium grease. Especially on older automotive doors? The check strap can seem to protest on movement.?

I am I fully qualified master locksmith if 23 years.. and I know what’s preferred in the trade
 
This bottle has about the same qualifications as WD40, and it's my go to for a more festive hypo. They should add this use to the list to sell more, I think .
Yes, I's alcohol, but a small sip is enough to treat a hypo so it works well

The label says:
"Stops squeaks
Drives out moisture
Removes and protects
Loosens what is stuck
Frees sticky brains
Loosens the tongue"

Wonder where they stole that!

I got the bottle gifted by a non-D friend, which puzzled me, as obviously it's not something I can drink, really.
Turned out I had vastly underestimated her. When I told her I liked the gesture, but well, diabetes, she answered: "Oh, you just wait for your next hypo and then you'll understand why this is a perfect present".

It's definitely one of the most thoughtful things someone did for me regarding my diabetes!

 
WD40 the ultimate lube .....oerrr missus
