With the importance of cordage- dental floss
You are welcome to a case of sample floss - no trading needed. PM me when you want to meet in Marietta / Woodstock area and the case is yours. Nice giving brushes away, they have become expensive!! I send quite a bit to Dominican for a charity and also to our boys in Afg. -
With the importance of cordage- dental floss
The sample sizes I have are 3 or 5 yards and the cassette is 1" square - you know...the ones you get in the goodie bag after your cleaning. I give out brush, paste, and floss after each visit. They are the Glide kind - I like that teflon(not kevlar) type best... -

ok ,gold,silver or ammo you pick one
This is something to discuss, not gold/silver vs ammo - history has already answered that arguement repeatedly (and history always repeats itself). The EMP power-grid statement in #3 - I don't agree that it would be back up in 90 days. If most of the replacement parts are fried in the burst... -
ok ,gold,silver or ammo you pick one
