No Buy July - Participant List, Rules and other stuff

.... how didn't they realize that? -.-

 

Went to a wilderness camp as a young man where one of the young ladies made that mistake. She. . . got to go home early.

 

Rubbing alcohol and a ball of cotton are your friends. It always worked for me until I finally became immune to poison oak. If rubbing alcohol is not available, hàrd liquor migbt work. Applied topically, of course.

 

Yeah, they were freaking me out too.

 

Be very careful buying from him. From what I've heard, though his site is still taking orders, no one has received product or any communication in ages. His Etsy store is gone. His Facebook page is full of posts from angry customers.

 

I believe the last I read was some post from June that he had been ill and bedridden for some time. After that little-to-no communication again and people are commenting about orders places a long time ago are still missing.
I hope he's doing well but taking that into consideration maybe reaching out to him first and see if he's back up running.

 

Calamine lotion and Benadryl cream have helped. No rubbing alcohol anywhere close to me. And I have resisted the will to scratch.

 

Thanks for the heads-up! Aw well, its no big deal. If an online vendor accepts an order and then does not ship, just cancel the credit card charges. Then it becomes no more than an annoyance.

It's too bad, really. The proprietor seemed to have all the pieces in place, and only had to execute. Customer service and integrity is what separates the men from the boys in retail.

 

This month has made me go through what I have, and what I know I'll never use. I've put some stuff up on ebay and set aside other stuff for PIFs and box tours. Not really sure how all this accumulates.

 

Maybe

 

5 days to go. How are we all doing?

I am finding that some of the perceived ADs are starting to retreat from the front edge of my consciousness obsessions. This retreat is helpful in not heading to ebuy or the various b/s/t threads. This may be the first month in 2014 that I have actually saved money shaving.

 

I am doing well. It really made me realize how much I have and I need to use it. However, August 1st I'm placing an order

 

I think Im gonna use up a soap completely before i buy a new soap

That means I have a long time before i make a new purchase

 

I have my eye on a particular razor.
It is on ebay.
It is one that I've been searching for for some time.
The price is currently quite low.

It closes next Friday…August 1.

 

Good for you good luck!

 

I listed my items yesterday, so they'd close on 8/2 in case someone from here saw them. lol

 

I'm good. No soaps on my radar. One razor, but that's not going to be available until September. Maybe..

 

Not a single thing purchased in Ottawa. Probably because most of the trip came out of my pocket due to the Army under-cutting my pay advance for this whole thing. SHENANIGANS! lol. Oh well hopefully I'll get reimbursed this week.

 

I'm good still here. I have some items on radar for Aug.
but they can wait
