how to make the contacts you have been wearing already way too long fresh like the first time

of course the author is not a certified doctor so this is not advice. entertainment purposes only. do it at your own risk. repeat that last sentence.

wash them with the soap --

a drop or too
(touch clean hands to the container since it isn't a dropper bottle -- the amount that will cover tip of your finger is good --no need to overdo --
rub them between your fingers. like you were doing dishes. -- .

⁃ rinse good

can use a jar

with eight oz filtered water and 1/8 tsp (recipe for saline)
shake it THREE TIMES.

or can use running water for a long ass time

keeping hold of them well -- do not lose down drain!!
if you do important to soak in saline at end
then a little tea tree
(same amount as soap )
this will get off deposits and gunk as well as disinfect)

then soap and then water or saline rinse AGAIN.

you may omit one go round and start with the tea tree soap

but only if it wasn't too bad in the first place.

then 'rinse' in the secret rinse that i am patenting.

hands very clean ?
nails scrubbed?
spray off with bottled saline.

if you can let them soak then for like 5 min in bottled saline.

is the container clean?
make sure its disinfected -- alcohol and then a long rinse is good

put them in

et voilá

How To Make Awesome Vacuum Pot Coffee Without A Vacuum Pot*

Boil water.
grind coffee -- two grinders full for three cups should do it.
when water boils take off of heat
pour a little water in 32oz mason jar and pour out (to warm jar)
put coffee in jar
put one tablespoon sugar (or one washed eggshell) in jar
pour water in jar to just over three-fourths full
stir to wet coffee and dissolve sugar
tighten lid with towel over jar and oven mitt on
gently shake
GENTLY AND QUICKLY OPEN JAR JUST A LITTLE -- HOT LIQUID WILL BE FORCIBLY EXPELLED which is why the towel and oven mitt
tighten lid
GENTLY AND QUICKLY OPEN JAR JUST A LITTLE -- HOT LIQUID WILL BE FORCIBLY EXPELLED
tighten lid
one more time GENTLY AND QUICKLY OPEN JAR JUST A LITTLE - no more should be expelled
tighten lid well
put jar in bowl of cold tap water (NO ICE) -- roll around for three minutes or until it begins to 'boil' in the jar, whichever is first
take jar out
open carefully -- may be difficult -- you may need a ri\ubber glove and strength. a thin knife up under lid carefully will break seal, as will hot water on lid, or, worst care, a pinhole in lid.
AWESOME COFFEE. strain and enjoy. may need to be heated slightly. excellent iced.

*and with a vacuum pot there's a trick -- this way is better than the conventional vacuum pot method

Be seeing you!

Esu's yes/no COIN ORACLE E-Z CHEAT SHEET

(dedicated to a good friend -

and to Eŝu, of course.)

make sure you are WRITING DOWN or recording ALL your questions and answers EXACTLY at first. WRITE THEM DOWN AS YOU DO THEM.

DO NOT CHEAT.

heads are mouths - in - beginnings - yes - eating - positive - cowrie shells shiny side up - picture of lincoln's head that was the brain of the man who freed the slaves finally

tails are asses - out - endings - no - shitting - negative - cowrie shells dull open side up - picture of the building that is the place where the men meet who keep us in chains.

YES! ABSOLUTELY!!!

GO AHEAD -- ask if you need more details -- but - use your judgement --

but don't split hairs and DONT QUESTION HIS JUDGEMENT.

WRITE

DOWN

ALL

QUESTIONS

AND

ANSWERS

!!!

NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT.

FURTHERMORE YOU NEED TO WASH THE COINS IN RUNNING WATER. spit will only do if you have nothing else.

you cannot get more info on the subject. really.

DO NOT ASK ANY MORE OF THE SAME QUESTION - use your judgement -- but don't split hairs to act sneaky and ask anyway.

or go right ahead and try.

he has a funny laugh... if you do hear it, well, you should laugh... at yourself.

Eŝu was sneaking before you were even squeaking.

half and half is two heads two tails -- most common -- is 'uh, sure' -- is NOT A YES -- means sure, that is one answer, one way to look at it, that could happen. this does NOT answer your question.

three of a kind is maybe. you MUST ASK AGAIN with a maybe -- ask the same question with a

different emphasis.

three heads and one tail -- is 'maybe its yes' -- is NOT A YES -- means sure, that is one answer, one way to look at it, that could happen. this does NOT answer your question AT ALL.

you must ASK THE SAME QUESTION AGAIN with a different focus or emphasizing a different word or concept.

three tails and one head -- is 'maybe its no' -- is NOT A NO -- means nah, probably not the way to look at it, that probably will not be exactly the thing. this does NOT answer your question AT ALL.

you must ASK THE SAME QUESTION AGAIN with a different focus or emphasizing a different word or concept.

two 'maybes' -- two three of a kind -- no matter heads or tails -- is always a 'nah.'

'nah' is NOT A 'NO' -- means nah, that is not the real answer, and the EXACT way it was phrased is LITERALLY certainly not the answer, will not be the answer. this does NOT answer your question usually.

to get a good answer you need to ask the question differently, FROM ALL SIDES.

ask differently.

be scientific.

ask the opposite of the original question exactly.

you can figure out from asking the opposite what is really going on.

half and half is two heads two tails -- most common -- is 'uh, sure, yeah,' -- is NOT A YES -- means sure, that is one answer, one way to look at it, that could happen. this does NOT answer your question usually, even though it seems to.

DID YOU HEAR ME?

DO NOT CHEAT.

you can send them to me afterwards for privacy if you think you need to.
