@randompersonrandom I just want you to know that I've been showing amazing restraint to ignore my inclination to make all the inappropriate jokes from your title. That's all, carry on smartly.
My mom is coming, behave yourselves.

Skip the middleman and buy direct from the manufacturer: https://bhmedicalsupplies.com/collections/insulin-syringes
You can buy one, two or three boxes of BHSupplies 31g 1ml/cc 5/16" (8mm) syringes directly from the manufacturer and they will ship for free. Even to Minnesota, where we can't buy more than 10 syringes without a prescription*. The two or three bundle is cheaper per box. Case of twenty even less.
*Humorous side note: if you order 1 box, or a case , the site asks for a valid prescription. If you order 3 boxes it does not ask.
I don't know how people can stand the BH syringes. They're like stabbing yourself with a rusty fork. 🍴
FWIW, one of our forum sponsors (Injection Shop) ships to all states without any issue. They have good reviews https://glp1forum.com/threads/injection-shop.10979/ and offer a discount to forum members: https://glp1forum.com/threads/updates-and-a-new-discount-code.7747/

What a bummer they only have 31g 1ml 1/4" in case pack.

I love this for her so much. I never even bothered with sema, I'd already seen my girlfriends be nauseated and have unpleasant digestion, so I went straight to tirz.
Y'all, my mom and I had a video chat today where she successfully reconned and filtered a vial of Amino Lair klow and a vial of another pep from GYC (both of which I've used, from the same kits). She's got a vial of KPV and a vial of Epi from a vendor/group buy who prefers not to be talked about, but who I trust and have used. She now understands the process of filtering, knows her dosage on the tirz and the GHK-cu part of the KLOW (which is all I ever bother to look at too) and has some understanding of mg/ml, but she knows her number of units for both and her dosing days and labelled them, which is fine by me for now.
She wanted to start at the normal concentration on the KLOW, so we'll see if she gets a bruise, but she pinned both with me still on the call and we talked for an hour after, so we'd know she didn't have an allergy or a reaction. She said the KLOW didn't hurt (lucky bitch) and neither did the other. She wants me to sit with her when she does the KPV and the Epitalon, but says she doesn't want to do either til after a 30 day KLOW cycle, because she isn't a fan of more than two pins a day. My own max is three, so I support this.
She is supremely uninterested in any peps beyond the four she's got, which is kind of a relief for me. I don't want my mom messing around with MOTS-C and PT-141 and other results-may-vary-greatly stuff. She also says she's uninterested in pens, but we'll see if she still feels that way when she uses up the 100 insulin syringes I sent her to start off with.

That's where I got the ones for her! A box of 100 insulin syringes, and a couple of bottles of bac water to get free shipping. I forgot about the discount, but we'll get em next time.
My mom is loving epitalon but she does it IN as she wasn't that interested in a daily pin (though the GHK-Cu/KPV is coming. Snoot bottles are pretty easy and if she is already ready with filtering, then no issues.

It's funny, I didn't even get a chance to explain why subq is the only thing I'll do. I said so there's four ways you can do particular peps; subq, which is all I'll do, intravenously ("oh fuck no, I'm not going intravenous with something I mixed at the kitchen table,"), intramuscular ("nope. I'm not stabbing a needle into my muscle, please and thank you,") and intranasally ("no thanks, too close to my brain for homebrew.") Those are my exact reasons why I won't do those, and we've never discussed it before.
I love your mom!
I can’t wait to meet her!
She’s on Telegram and you blocked her as a scammer… iconic. The generational gap really said “loud and clear” lol

I mean, for all I know, she might be catfishing lonely old men. She doesn't really need the money, but a lady can have hobbies.

Welcome to our kooky club, mom!!
Wow. I sooooo wish I was welcoming my own mom. She struggled with her weight for a long time. She sadly passed in 2016 but I still feel like her spirit is on this journey with me. She would love the peptide peeps, I already know!

Please tell her to contact me immediately if she comes across a lonely old millionaire heart on TG!

I'm so glad. I expect people to hit on my mom if I mention that I have a mom because I have been on the internet since there first WAS an internet, but I could never forgive a pun.

How sharp are they? My wife is fussy. I see what Zip wrote below, and that was a concern. I will poke around that site though. I ended up with BD .05 and 1ml 31G 8mm.
I've got stuff from them including BAC. I want to say they might had been out of the Easy Touch I wanted, and a few others were as well.
That was the guy in front of me below. I got 3ml 1.5" 25 or 27g.

No 1ml, I never spellcheck my spellcheck which loves to change everything. I use swipe keyboard so I get some crazy stuff sometimes 😂😂

I'm always on my laptop, hardly ever my phone. I get happy fingers and have done it before myself. If it's numbers, or mg vs ml, spellcheck doesn't pick it up. I also think faster than I type, and don't look at the keyboard mist of the time. Hence mistakes.

My mom reconned a new vial of klow today, and she's more comfortable doing it if I'm there on video. She can do a much stronger concentration with no problems than I can, which made me wonder if I really needed a whole gd 12ml on the klow I have from Amino Lair, which is closer to the 50-10-10-10 ratio than the GYC stuff I usually use (which is pretty ghk-cu heavy.)
Hence this conversation. (Spoiler: I DO need a higher concentration even on the better balanced stuff.)

update: My mom wanted to recon something else on Sunday, but we did the math and there's no way she needs to; she showed me the cartridge and she's got like ten weeks left on that one. She looked disappointed, and I realized she's at that stage in "all this" where it's fun and exciting for it to be time to recon something, which is how you end up making a hobby out of pinning Chinese mystery powder, and no thank you, my mom is not gonna do that on my watch. So I sent her some supplies to make a really nice oil-based cleanser, since she's used to learning how to formulate something on a video chat, and we'll do it next weekend.
Here's the recipe, in case you'd like to make it. I haven't used soap on my face in months; there's no need to.
80g some light non-comedogenic oil (I favor a mix of jojoba, rosehip, and kukui nut, though I've also used a mix of argan, moringa, and macadamia)
9g btms-25
10g emulsifying wax NF
1g jeequat ndcs (optional, ok to sub in another 1g of btms-25 if you don't have any and it's hard to get some. I get mine from a soap supplier in Canada.)
A few drops of frankincense, ho wood, lavender, or something else you like. If you're using essential oils, make sure you know their properties and don't just go with whatever smells best, you don't want to be putting lemon oil or cinnamon oil on your face. But those four are fine. So's patchouli, rose, geranium etc, just Google it first if you don't know what it does.
Put the emulsifiers into a 4 oz jelly jar. Add 80g of the oil. Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring, until it's all melted. Add a few drops of the fragrance or essential oil. Stir for one minute. Let sit until solid, ok to refrigerate to speed the solidiciation, but no need to keep it in the fridge; it's got no water in it so it won't go bad.
Before you get in the shower, massage a generous amount onto your face. Hop in the shower, and give your face a splash of water, then rub until it turns to a milky lotion. Rinse it off and wipe with a washcloth. You can use another cleanser to remove all traces if you want, but I don't. It rinses fairly clean, and I'm just going to put more lotion on my face anyway when I get out. It gets you clean because the oil in the cleanser dissolves the oils on your face, and the emulsifier lets it mix with water to rinse off. It's really gentle.

This thread is initially what made me finally create an account because it was the cutest thing ever and I wanted to tell you that 😭 and then I signed up, realized I needed to do the introduction post stuff, and forgot all about it.
SO. This is the cutest thing ever. I love that you're helping your mom with this. 💜
I miss my mom 😭

I'm glad you did! And yep, I'm so grateful to have her alive and mentally and emotionally healthy (physically too.) She lost my father two Augusts ago after having been married to him since she was sixteen, and I was terribly afraid she'd give up on life, or go find some cranky old man to labor for til she was used up, or fall apart in some other way. The fact that she took the hit, grieved, then got her shit together and said "Ok, he's dead and I didn't kill him; I will not spend the rest of my life refusing joy because everything I've ever known is now very different" and became this semi-feral, curious, engaged woman that I don't even recognize but absolutely love...man that's a relief and a joy.

This forum was not supposed to make me cry! Is there a peptide for this?!
I'm sorry you lost your dad, too. And to your mom if she ever pops in here. 💜 Mine died when I was a kid and my mom remarried the bestest guy I could have asked for as a stepdad. When he passed, she absolutely gave up just like you described. I think she probably would have when my dad passed if she hadn't stumbled on my stepdad (they had dated in high school and met again through a grief support group.) I watched her fall apart and not know how to do so many basic things because a man had always done it for her and promised myself that would neverrr be me.
Also, "Ok, he's dead and I didn't kill him; I will not spend the rest of my life refusing joy because everything I've ever known is now very different" is something I absolutely needed to hear regarding my own mom's death 😭 thank you.
I also love the relationship you have with your mom and that discussing all of this stuff is something y'all can even do. My mom would have listened to me and my drama about it but never would have reconned on her own🤣
