Thanks to my santa, I have recived a bunch of valuable reagents.



Water is dangerous if you don't know how to handle it, elemental fluorine (F₂) on the other hand is pretty tame if you know what you are doing.

I was able to send out my Santee's gift on Tuesday last week, so it should have arrived by now. I just hadn't been able to post due to forum issues. Hopefully it shipped alright. Merry Christmas!

My package arrived last weekend! Thank you so much for the lovely Holmium sample.
I also shipped my package a few days ago, so it should reach my recipient by Christmas Eve at the latest.

@chempyre235 - Santa left a gift at the post office for me a few days ago. I was out of town until today. Opened it up when I got home. Y’all won’t believe this, but there was a WHOLE Cake in there, along with glassware, books, vials, test tubes, bottles, a heavy glass evaporation dish with a lid, a couple of glass funnels, a mortar and pestle, etc. Even a vintage Bunsen burner! A real haul! Thanks chempyre235! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!




You can’t claim you drank all day if you didn’t start early in the morning.

My gift came a few days ago, but I haven't posted until today because I have the flu.

Thanks, Santa! I got everything I wanted, plus some! Erlenmeyers, beakers, ampoules, samples of several metals, some books, and a bunch of powdered CaF2.Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas !


To all on the board and beyond ! Seems like Secret Santa has worked well this year !

chempyre235, like you I have the flu or something resembling it. Sucks to be sick on
Christmas but I got back from Maryland yesterday after almost a week and spent
most of that time in a no/low heat environment. Doesn't help matters. I'll try to see
the doctor tomorrow.

Merry Christmas! I haven’t received my gift but I’m still holding out hope.

Hope everyone’s reactions yield better than expected, extractions separate without emulations, and purities are surprisingly good!

That's too bad. I'm mostly over it now, but some symptoms linger. I hope you get better!

Happy New Year, everyone!


Here's some of my gifts: samples of bismuth, magnesium, antimony, and silver. I already had the tilt switches. I stored the magnesium under mineral oil to prevent further oxidation. It's amazing how light the stuff is. The bottles came from Dr.Bob. Thanks to both!
