lol, i just understood your name. habenero's we would dare the "new" people who came tp ours group to eat a whole one, and we always recorded it. the looks after they chewed a few moments, like oh shhhhhh, i messed up now. too funny. actually the first time i ate a whole one, i called poision control, i thought i really screwed myself up, they just laughed at me, and actually said im in for it when i go potty. here is another quick one,at work we were bored and dared each other to eat some habs, i was up and couldnt take the fire. my friend who is now passed away gave me some milk of malasia? the stuff in the blue bottle, he said here this will help, the nerd diddnt tell me it was a laxitive. got me good.
thanks on the bday

ew! I love hot food. I always said it isn't hot enough if you aren't crying but that's one thing I would never do. Eat a whole habenero. You don't touch rub your eyes, ears, or nose after cutting them up. That should say it all...
Saw my brother once adjust himself after eating habeneros not knowing how hot they were. It was really funny watching him roll around on the ground...

I agree with the rest of the forum I think you should call your ocal health department or poison control center. They can ell you who to contact to at least remove the contents of the bottles. oh by the way I am wildfox,s girlriend and just happen to be here looking at what was posted.

 

[chong2]

wildfox,s girlfriend, thanks for the post, and all of the contents have been taken care of. maybe you should open up your own acount too? TN always needs new members

Chong,

I have followed this thread from the beginning and I must say you have handled the situation quite well.
And come out of this with an AWESOME collection of glass.
I was very worried about you for a while there.

Well done my friend.
another vote from me for the best of Treasure net.

If the bottles initials are M.G.W. They are from the Middletown glass company N.Y. ca. 1889. You'll have to check to make sure that the "C" is not a "G". If it's a "G" that's where it was made. Hope this helps.

Just saw this Chong. Nice haul buddy. I dug some of the brown acid bottles a couple of years ago but mine were empty. Fun journey and good post

[sunrunner]

some of that sh.. is to nasty to deal with ,maybe a few embossed jars are worth keeping but unembossed one you can ditch.I dug up a cem one time when I first started digging , open it up put my noise to it next thing I know I'm waking up ten mints later in the hole.
