Anyone ever get them?
No. I eat a balanced diet, and as such require no injections like you vegetarian freaks do! You freaks! Enjoy your injections!
Vegetarians like Berry need to be strapped to a chair, and force fed a big, juicy burger against their will!
That way no B12 injections would be required...
I understand why sort of krauts have the need to think they are perfect and in control, it's ok guy we all understand ... but food is a long way from the whole story
Many items including B12 are low or high "naturally" in people. Sodium, potassium, iron, glutens, and 100+ others are not absorbed from food for some .. . on the other hand some retain too much
Take sugar as a classic well known example ... many have serious problems without taking any from foods
Every system has its own natural levels without adding ... and each has its own absorption rates ranging from 0 to total

I just had a B1 injection.

For a specific example, Doc started me on a low dose statin because of being slightly high in bad fats.
I eat virtually zero fat nor any foods high in fat or any form of bad fats ... far less than the general population. Doc says many people's systems produce bad cholesterol on their own .. again demonstrating that there's a lot more to it than simply eating right ... says it's all about genetics
Exactly the same for B12 and 6 .... my body does not absorb it well so shots are helpful .... also one can overdo them - last readings said they were high so Doc suggested it had slowly become too high .. so cut back to every 2 months instead of every month
For all important items its about the right amount present within your body .. enough is best ... too little or too much is not good
Most blood results also indicate an acceptable range ... with between the high and low being correct .. Everyone's body varies over time .. is in a constant balancing act for all needed items
Any1 whos a drinker like myself, Mel and Herman, should get a Vitamin B injection from time to time..

B12 can be stored in the liver for a long time, so it may take a few years for a deficiency to develop.

I've never called CC a slur in my 15 years of posting. And she calls me a Kraut for no reason...
I've never called you a Kike, CC. I don't even like it when Scouse throws around that slur, but that's his business!

Same goes with vegemite. It can be used in stews or roasts or gravy. Eaten straight, on toast, in cheese sandwiches or with avocado. Sometimes people are none the wiser that they're eating it.

Considering Melskie is pissing himself when he is drunk, he needs that B12 vitamin injection.
Alcohol affects cerebellum and cerebellum controls motor function... Bladder control etc.
B12 fixes the problem.. A real concentrated dose of B12.
Funny how we die without Vitamin B12 and we can only get it from animal based food..
Might aswell accept it...
Humans are carnivores..

I'll tell you why I pissed the bed a couple of times... Occasionally in the past I would have Zopiclone on hand (prescription sleep aid, a hypnotic). I actually do not sleep well at all, so had it on hand for that, which is legit.
The problem happens when you knock back much more brew than the recommended daily limit, and then pop a Zop before bed! Two things happen... You forget/don't piss right before you get in bed, and you don't wake up when you do have to piss either! :laugh:
So yes, I have pissed the bed, but that was me combining two substances that I should not have combined.

The body can generally do quite well on its own, if you eat a balanced diet. Berry does not eat meat. That is the problem. You won't live for too long eating nothing but lettuce.

Not everyone's body can absorb b12 thru food consumption. Do some research.

Not sure how that would work with just anyone just wanting it. I've had some ongoing health issues for a while.
Someone like you could benefit from taking b12 vitamin pills. However, they could take 1-2 months before you feel a difference. Mine is immediate, hence the injection...I feel a difference within 2-3 days.
They must test B12 levels before prescribing a vial?

I might do the same. I drink regularly enough, and even moderate drinking can deplete vitamin B9 and B12, as well as other B vitamin families.
Will get a B Complex vitamin product, and see what happens!
Actually, will get a '100% Complete' composition, since it has all the B's like a B Complex would, and has some other shit in there too. Can't really cause any harm... The body should just piss out anything extra that it's not deficient in...
You do realize that not all bodies work the same...

I picked this shit up tonight! It's a well known Canadian brand (although the company was sold to US owners a few years back), so not sure if you'd see this in the US, but I'm sure you'd have an equivalent.
The B12 and B Complex composition in this one is generally at the same levels you'd get if you bought their B12 or B Complex only version, so the only difference here is they've thrown a bunch of other shit in, which isn't a bad thing.
The pills are even scored, so you can easily break them in half with your fingers, should you decide to make the bottle last longer that way.

"Vitamins for Energy: Does B-12 Work?
Definition
Amount
Deficiency
Older adults
Diagnosis
Overview
Some people claim that vitamin B-12 will boost your:
energy
concentration
memory
mood
However, when speaking before Congress in 2008, Susan B. Shurin, M.D., deputy director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, countered these claims. She testified that vitamin B-12 could do all of these things for people who are deficient in the vitamin. However, no clinical evidence suggests that it can boost energy in people who already have ample stores of it."
//https://www.healthline.com/health/b12-vitamins-for-energy
Con artists have been selling tonics, youth serums and health supplements for centuries. And they still do, only with greater sophistication.
Most supplements are useless. Most "herbal" medicines are ineffective, if not outright deceptive. The sellers of these modern snake oils should be held as accountable as pharmaceutical companies, where empirical and scientific analysis prove their efficacy.
At best they are placebos...but relying on this witchcraft to heal disease and sickness is dangerous.
I knew someone who once worked with an alternative therapy medicine importer before our Therapeutic Goods Administration started shutting down anyone not tied to big Pharma.
The company had a roaring trade with shark cartilage therapies, especially for terminal cancer patients meant to only have a short time to live. These people were getting years more life taking that supplement and when the TGA put a stop to it, they all quickly died within the year.

I knew someone who once worked with an alternative therapy medicine importer before our Therapeutic Goods Administration started shutting down anyone not tied to big Pharma.
The company had a roaring trade with shark cartilage therapies, especially for terminal cancer patients meant to only have a short time to live. These people were getting years more life taking that supplement and when the TGA put a stop to it, they all quickly died within the year.
Now there's a surprise.
More bullshit from Freud.

"Vitamins for Energy: Does B-12 Work?
Definition

Older adults
Diagnosis
Overview
Some people claim that vitamin B-12 will boost your:
energy
concentration
memory
mood
However, when speaking before Congress in 2008, Susan B. Shurin, M.D., deputy director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, countered these claims. She testified that vitamin B-12 could do all of these things for people who are deficient in the vitamin. However, no clinical evidence suggests that it can boost energy in people who already have ample stores of it."

Con artists have been selling tonics, youth serums and health supplements for centuries. And they still do, only with greater sophistication.
Most supplements are useless. Most "herbal" medicines are ineffective, if not outright deceptive. The sellers of these modern snake oils should be held as accountable as pharmaceutical companies, where empirical and scientific analysis prove their efficacy.
At best they are placebos...but relying on this witchcraft to heal disease and sickness is dangerous.
True, many are.

Barrel wash is cheaper and achieves the same result when consumed in large quantities.
Waddya talking about?
You look ten years older than ME!!!
Get some good Scottish hooch into you. All barrel wash does is make you THINK you look younger whenever a hot chick walks into a room. It may make her look hotter, too.

Hmmm...after I wrote that, I can see where I went wrong.
A couple of buckets of barrel wash...$5...and the world looks rosy.
You'd need to spend $100 on single malt for the same effect. The value just isn't there.

I normally cant drink dark liquor (IBS), March is the only month I drink whiskey.
Currently drinking El Jimador tequila, was suggested to try. I switched from Shine to tequila since Shine is so high proof. Been trying to lower my alcohol consumption lol. I've had an arm injury the past month, and alcohol is an enemy of the healing process. Im "trying" to only drink on Friday and Saturday.

Which alcoholic beverages are dark?
Whisky, brandy, rum.
All the good ones.

For me, I avoid whiskey (except in March), bourbon (use to be my favorite sadly), and some rum (some are clear though).
Not just alcohol, I have avoid cola, tea, and coffee. Though I can normally have one drink, with alcohol I can have more than one. Non alcohol dark will hit me almost instantly, while the alcohol ones hit me the next morning.

I've tried so many different liquors over the years but I still defer to sour mash whiskey over the rest. Neat or with ginger ale and ice if it's a scorcher. Have never been able to drink beer unless it's well into the 40's and it's super cold.
The only beer I can actually enjoy is Corona...but I need at least 1/2 a fresh lemon squeezed in it....I do agree when it's hot out a cold beer tastes so better!
I will be getting my b12 tomorrow....its been almost 2 weeks since my last one, I really need it! Esp with this heat and my tummy troubles...
Sitting here waiting for my docs apt...and getting my b12 today...theres this chick with pop bottle glasses just staring at me...very awkward...I hate it when people do that.

It's true. People will buy anything. None of it works.
The secret is exercise and heathly diet. But a lot of people want pizza and pills.
Pizza works.
Not with single malts, though.
Homemade or artisan pizzas can be really healthy. Not most of the stuff sold in pizza shops though.

I generally only take it on nights I have to be up early for work or something and really need the sleep. Hopefully one day I don't have to take them at all anymore. For now I need to make some serious changes in my life. #1 is moving and #2. Is court. Once all of this is established I will be so much better.

Mental stress can be a issue and disrupt a person's sleep quality, but there's still some ways that can help you get a better sleep or fall asleep easier, try keeping a consistent body clock, going to bed and waking up around the same time, and sleeping no more than 7 hours a night, or just getting 4-5 hours of sleep daily is even better if you dun mind, and avoid sleeping pass 9am on weekends or day offs. So far I've been trying it out for the past few years and it's been working very effectively, and if you're tired at work just brew some coffee, but try not to drink more than 3-4 mugs a day. Most folks might find this kind of boring, but IMO it's better than wasting over like 2 hours every night just trying to fall asleep. Hope this helps.

Nightshift work can sometimes be a problem, if that's the case I'd recommend sleeping 3-4 hours but twice a day. Usually a regular person's sleep cycle is close to 4 hours, not sure will it work for your husband but it's what my brother and my friends always do when they have night shifts or do OTs.

It's still ok to sleep for 8 hours after working for 12hrs, but just be careful not to sleep more than needed, else the next day it'll be hard to fall asleep again. Usually the best indicator to get the right amount of sleep is if woken up the first time and still feel tired, then go back to sleep, but 2nd time waking up is usually the time to get out of bed and make some morning coffee. ac_cool
I have worked shifts for years. You are always tired. Even when I became a toolpush and a wellsite consultant, I was routinely woken up in the middle of the frickin night.
That's one of the reasons I left the Police Force.
I hated shiftwork. It destroys families.

My brother doesn't like that part of his job either.
I have never worked shifts, but I don't doubt it is taxing on the body.

This couldn't be anymore true, though I dun believe it's only limited to night shift jobs, I mean as long as you're working full time, and requires at least a fair ammount of effort, most of the time you're guaranteed a good night of rest, unless the person suffers from mental disorders or some other issues. ac_unsure
Anybody who can't handle shifts need not apply for railway running trades.

Yeah. Not far from where I am. I want to stay in the same area for now. My kids school and friends, etc....plus my work and a few people near by I can car pool with. I just need a more convenient place to live.

I dunno. Gonna view it tomorrow. Right now I can only see from the outside. But it has everything I want. 2 entrances instead of one. A larger balcony. And its 3 floors instead of flat...I'm so sick n tired of flat, I want some levels for more privacy.
It also has it's own attached car port. So extra bonus!

Yes! I just finished looking at it not too long ago. It's super cool! The balcony is huge! And this one is covered! Its 3 floors. I accepted it and I'm moving in at the end of August. The kid is away at camp right now...I am able to send her emails (but I can't get a response from her) I told her what's going on....she's gonna be so excited when she gets home! She's been bugging me for a while now. I'm glad this is finally happening! But now I only have 30 days to get my shot together and sell some stuff I don't want.

Thats what I thought! But I toss a lot at night after 4 hours. Im going to the doc today to have some blood work and a urinalysis done. I have almost all of the symptoms of Chronic Dehydration, though my pee isnt dark.
It's good you get yourself checked out Blazor. Sometimes the smallest thing makes a big difference! Drink lots of water.
I have t been sleeping too well the last couple days but I got my B12 injection just an hour ago...we'll see what happens tonight. Although I think it's just excitement t to move! Just picked up the kid today from camp...she's super thrilled! Bought her home and she's already packing to move! Lol

I had similar issues for years.
Had everything checked. Nada.
Then another Doctor I see for completely unrelated issues suggested I had sleep apnea.
I did that test, and BINGO.
I sleep 8 hours solid every night.
What was the issue? What helps you sleep?
I just finished cleaning my storage area....it was just a mess, I had less stuff than I thought..which is a breather...I face some stuff away to neighbors and kids and purged everything else.
A little bit day by day....I'm so excited! I cant wait to move!!! Only 3-4 weeks!!!

Does she have to go to a new school now?
No. I stayed in the area. All her friends are here and its convenient for everything.

Crap, forgot to take my B12 this morning lol. I've been taking the 500mcg gummys for a few weeks now. It somewhat feels like it works.
Yeah I've been forgetful, lil dizzy/light headed, lil spacey, real weak, real tired, vision a lil blurry/hard time focusing. Some days I feel better, some days worse. It started as pain in my left arm, between my wrist and forearm, like the tendon. Also a lil where my arm meets my chest in the front. When I feel the worst, its almost as if I feel it in a lot of places, like legs too. It got real bad one day I took a caffeine pill, and thats when I applied at the free clinic. I dont normally do much caffeine unless its Saturday night. First guy thought it was Myofacial pain, and told me to walk more. But seems like being active makes it worse. So I went back to have blood work done. My blood pressure was oddly a lil high yesterday too. 158/80 I think it was. I've been eating lower sodium too, like fish, chicken and veggies for over a month now, and I havent even been putting hardly any sodium on them, this week was none.
I bet its from the excitement too lol, I would hardly be able to go to sleep either! Aww at her packing already lol. Shes had a good time then, camping then excited to move.
I hated moving as a kid. I moved nearly 20 times, always had to make new friends.

My current place has no w/d hook up. Instead I own a portable w/d that hooks up to the sink...it gets the job done. But I'm going to be selling the set cause I won't need it anymore.
My new suite has a w/d hookup and it's own laundry room...which is very exciting...so now I can take my full size w&d out of storage at my parents and hook it up! I've never rented a place that actually has a w/d...only a fridge and stove.

We know a young couple from our church who rent an apartment in Calgary..
She told me the laundry machines and especially dryers are difficult to get to because people will leave their clothes in them long after they have been washed or dried.

I've used them before but I stay in the room the entire time...people steal clothes if you leave.
But if I needed a washer or dryer and clooothes were just sitting in it...I'd dump them on the floor and use the machine.

A lot of places are like that with their laundry rooms. This is why I never leave my clothes.
A remember a couple years ago, there was a letter on the bulletin...someone where I live came back from holidays and put their suitcase (filled with clothes) in the laundry dry room....then quickly went home to get their soap...when they came back, someone had already stole their entire suitcase! The notice was asking for them to return the suitcase.

The washer and dryer belong to the landlord. You just can't take them!

Panzer? Oxygen?
Lol you try so hard!
My current place has no w/d hook up. Instead I own a portable w/d that hooks up to the sink...it gets the job done. But I'm going to be selling the set cause I won't need it anymore.
My new suite has a w/d hookup and it's own laundry room...which is very exciting...so now I can take my full size w&d out of storage at my parents and hook it up! I've never rented a place that actually has a w/d...only a fridge and stove.
My tank is I think a 50 gallon...it houses my bearded dragon. I need help moving that.
I'll post some pics after I move and get set up in the new place!!
Does your current building have a laundry room with a few machines and dryers Berry?
Yes it does. You have to pay. I prefer to have my own w/d. My new place has my own personal laundry dry room with the hook up...I miss using my regular washer dryer. Nothing but up from this point on! Moving on to bigger and better things!
I am very happy for you and your daughter. You have worked hard for it---enjoy. ac_drinks
Thx. We will! It's been hard the last couple of years but finally getting better!
The comforts of life always come to those who are patient and work towards a goal.

We know a young couple from our church who rent an apartment in Calgary..
She told me the laundry machines and especially dryers are difficult to get to because people will leave their clothes in them long after they have been washed or dried.
I've used them before but I stay in the room the entire time...people steal clothes if you leave.
But if I needed a washer or dryer and clooothes were just sitting in it...I'd dump them on the floor and use the machine.
I lived in Section 8 housing apartments with my mom. On the weekend, one of my chores was to do the laundry. Had to for a family of 5, and it would take me all day. I had to carry 9 loads to the communal laundromat, there was only 3 machines of each. I had to STAY there, or else people would steal your stuff, or dump it out in the floor. One time they did steal my moms new bathroom set when I came home to use the bathroom. So mom said I couldnt even come home to use the bathroom. So, I would pick the lock of the janitors bathroom lol. They got wise, and fixed it so I couldnt, so I said fuck it, and would shit in the trash can, and piss in the sink. I know, sounds nasty, but ya gotta do what you're forced to do lol.
What are section 8 housing apartments Blazor?
Quote from: "Fashionista"
What are section 8 housing apartments Blazor?
Apartments for low income folks. Usually has a lot of blacks. Government housing. Based on your income, if someone does not work, their rent is $0.
Why do they call it sections in the states? Reminds me of the hunger games.
Quote from: "Berry Sweet"

It refers to Section 8 of the Housing Act.

The housing in the states is horrible. Here in Canada it's pretty good. Their units are decent. There's a long wait list to get in. I'd say a min of a 5 year wait. So many people need it. The sad thing is, there are some people abuse it, they shouldnt be in it. But there's no reason not to apply and get the help. The better people work, save or go to school and eventually get out.
The rent here is ridiculous. Way over priced. There are programs for people who work (you have to make a certain amount like $32,000 / yr or less) to qualify and the government will help with a portion of the rent. It's for working people only and I think it may only be $200/ mo...not sure...but it does exist and it can help many families out.
We either have to accept that it is not the Government's job to provide housing, or it is.
If it is, it has to be paid for. That is, taxes increase, or spending elsewhere is cut.
There is no such thing as "free" housing, "free" health care, or "free" education.
If you're not paying for it, someone else is.
They need to help low income Canadians. Not everyone is so fortunate. But they need to stop shit like, using tax payers money to fund private schools. People want to complain about helping the less fortunate but then the rich want funds to help them out...how does that work?
Everyone starts somewhere.

But the truth is tax payer's money is pretty much the rich's money, there's nothing wrong for people being entitled to or using the money they've earned.

Because the "rich" pay tax as well...usually more tax than anyone else.
So, are you implying that ALL the money paid into tax revenue should go to the "poor"?

The truth is the only reason why these jobs exist is b/c there are still tons uneducated, unskilled and inexperienced people in this world that can only do these jobs at a not too overpaid wage, not b/c only people can do those jobs. Meanwhile the middle and upper class are constructing gas turbine engines, the infamous smartphones, computers in contact lenses, AI technology, automation and robotics, sending a few hundred astronauts to Mars pretty soon, nano and neurosurgeons working hard to decrypt the code so human might not have to die from old age one day...
And I agree that no-one has the right or reason to look down on others in their community.
One thing I find really great about Australia is our egalitarian society, where all are considered equal, and anyone who looks down on others feels the heat of public disapproval. It separates us from the UK, which is still a classed society, and America, where the rich treat service staff like cattle. Likewise in Asia.

Unless they have a very rational and morally correct reason behind it, then yea rich snobs acting like a spoiled 6 year old kid don't deserve respect from anyone, nor what they do ever makes any sense. ac_unsure
This world functions with everyone in it. Rich, poor, young and old. Medical professionals to waiters. Without it, it wouldn't function very well.
I would never look down at any working person, no matter what their job is, simply because I have been there. I have done that job. I have washed dishes for minimum wage.
The junky begging for 'food and rent' money or stealing for his next fix gets no respect from me, but anyone busting their balls in the service industry does, especially for the low wage they earn.
Even I'm not immune to bullshit from customers... I had one of the largest construction firms in this Province phone me up and chew me out, because their shitty fucking jobsite caused me to have a minor issue which needed fixing before I could continue the day.
You know what I did after that call? I drove home and parked the truck. Fuck them. You do NOT speak to me like that, ever.
Two days later they wanted me back! :laugh:

I hate to say this, especially to you Berry but it's just a matter of time before minimum wage slowly pushes unskilled labour out of the current job market.

You're right, some abuse it, and that aint right, but some do need help and then they have to wait. System is screwed up.

The thing is I can never understand why is so bad working at fast food chains or in some factories, as long as they're not giving any trouble to others or causing a burden to the society then they have my respect. At least I'd choose to associate with those folks over the rich a*sholes any day.

Sometimes I think labour jobs are overall better than working in the office all day, leading to a lot of chronic health issues. Not to mention this is why I like you Herman, you're not afraid to work hard, not entitled to the best and a source of proof that people working out in the fields are never to be underestimated.

I wouldn't be surprised, people from countries like the Japan, Germany, Korea, US & China are not one bit afraid to work extremelly hard, if there's any nation IMO that deserves to dictate the world's economy, then it's definately these 5 nations. ac_drinks
There is a stigma against physically demanding work in Asia.
The thing is I can never understand why is so bad working at fast food chains or in some factories, as long as they're not giving any trouble to others or causing a burden to the society then they have my respect. At least they I'd choose to associate with those folks over the rich a*sholes any day.
I have worked with my hands all my life. It provided a good living, travel and upward mobility.
Same with my husband Herman. He's a master electrician.

One of the most automated and advance assembly system in the world, just one of the BMW production lines located in Germany
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGqPjYALB50
And other than high end Rollers, Ferraris, Lambos etc they're all built the same way.
I don't get it.
If no-one is getting paid to build this stuff, who is going to pay for it at the other end?
But compared to the other auto plants the BMW uses the least labour and probably less than 1/3 of Ford's assembly line.

I agree.
But they don't want to work for it.
They would rather spend their day in a battery farm office block, pushing paper and achieving nothing of consequence whilst being paid far more than their value to society.

Lol there sure were some pretty dumb and ignorant af employees when I was still working at my dad's place, but it wasn't too bad for me since I was the chairman's son. From what I've witness I notice one of the autoCAD guy just can't keep his mouth closed and annoying all the office ladies, while our general manager takes forever to get things done, and this one guy doesn't do anything during the day and saves up all the work for OT, etc. Sometimes I duno is my mental disorder a good thing or not, b/c of this I don't have to work and put up with crap at the office anymore and get to do everything remotely from home instead.

There's no way I can compete with my father, he's is more of an investor, and just lends money to my brother and I to start things up.

Thanks Herman ac_cool , I'll definitely need it.
Despite how bad it looks from all the competition we see everyday, there are still some areas where you're in control, from trying to find and source from a supplier that gives you the edge in pricing compared to the competitors, marketing, connections, making your own brand, designing and manufacturing your own products.

Thank you Fash ac_blush , though it might look like a daring move but truth to be told running a business has always been involve in risks as you guys already know, sometimes we win some and lose some, but if you just stay stagnant and never risk any thing, then you'll only lose and never become successful, or just end up scraping the bottom of the barrel with hundreds of thousands of competitors out there.

Indeed, after you mentioned it now I don't think there's any excuse to not give it all it takes, while there are still many parents out there still won't hesitate to run a dedicated business. ac_drinks

Despite how bad it looks from all the competition we see everyday, there are still some areas where you're in control, from trying to find and source from a supplier that gives you the edge in pricing compared to the competitors, marketing, connections, making your own brand, designing and manufacturing your own products.
I was sitting in the walk-in clinic some time ago, and overheard two older gents as they had a chat in there (one was coming, and the other was going, but obviously they knew each other)...
It became clear to me that the one guy was quite well off in his retirement, and then I found out what he did... He was the importer of Iams pet food into Canada. Obviously this had treated him well...

I have to assume you have done lots of research and you already have a good grasp of clothing wholesaling. That gives you a lot better odds of succeeding.
Yea, it'll be kind of silly if we end up not selling any apparel and textiles related products, meanwhile my brother, dad and I are all arguing on what to sell and what not to sell, lol.
When will your new enterprise be up and running Zetsu?
Lol it's no where close to being an enterprise, It's really just me and my brother, and maybe a staff at the counter and a couple engineers and designers(if we can afford them, lol). But to answer the question we'll be starting to renovate and importing new stuff this coming October. ac_smile
Ah, so you are trying to solicit some sales here.
:laugh:
lol Only if advertising is allowed :001_tongue: We'll most likely try out some cheap stuff first, just see which one works out well, but somehow I just can't trust my brother's and dad's judgement, so far my brother imported 5 sets of different headphones, but no one seems interested in buying them, chances are we'll mostly likely be giving them away as Christmas presents. :laugh3:
Seriously though, I wouldn't mind seeing what you have to offer when it's fully operational..
I can't promise I'll order something, but you never know..
If you have good stuff and reasonable prices, I'll tell my friends too.
Our business tactics might be somewhat suspicious and unconventional, lol, but if my brother and I manage to source enough stuff, I'll be sure to let ya know. ac_smile
Tell everyone here...opportunities are everywhere if you know where to look.

Lol just hope it isn't from China, jk :001_tongue: One of the good thing about online wholesaling & retailing is ppl don't need to cover a wide area to be successful, thanks to the search engine as you guys know, everyone just needs to do there part and seek holes to fill out before others finds out their secret, lol. I remember 15 years ago there were this one man making $300,000 CAD a year just selling ice wine to China, though I'm sure today he'll struggle to just make just 5% of that initial profit. But yea, the whole thing to success is are people willing to do their market research and doing it non-stop since no niche lasts forever. ac_cool

Yep, it's just a matter if people are willing to source things out side the box. The last thing people should ever do is the same thing thousands of others are doing. :001_tongue:

Has the Niagara ice wine fad in Japan, China and Korea ended?

hmm I can't be too sure since I'm not too familiar with wine, but I have a feeling every distributer of alcohol today would not hesitate to sell ice wine to those 3 countries. :001_tongue:

So, Niagara ice wine may still be popular in Asia, but the competition among importers is greater today.

Yep, incoming competition is bound to happen, this is why it's important to keep the products we sell low profile as possible lol, like Mel for an example just gave me some critical tip about some retired man selling pet food, if I had some interests in selling pet food, that old man might be in for some change in his business portfolio.
I didn't get a chance to get my b12 this week :( it's been busy...I really do need it...I'm burnt from everything....argghh!!

How can you be successful and keep a low profile? I don't know your business, but I would think you need a high profile to generate sales.

Usually people that need the product will buy it for sure and will come to you for it instead of having to pay for advertisement, in the past BBQ grills were a niche that no one bothered or thought of selling but happen to be in demand every summer, ppl making as much as $90 USD selling just one unit. It's just a matter if ppl look and search hard enough for a niche product, ppl can make a living by just selling 2-3 types of items, though it's rare but not entirely impossible.

But, how do they know you sell bbq's if you have a low profile. That is what I am getting at. A low profile means people don't know you and the products you offer.

I mean low profile as in general trying not to tell anyone that the product is a niche or have a higher demand than it's supply. All you have to do is list the item on your website linked to any google or bing, amazon, taobao, ebay, aliexpress, tophatter, etc.

Few items seem niche anymore. I look for something on ebay or bonanza and there are fifty people selling the same product. Most are probably buying it from the same wholesaler.

It's definitely pretty competitive out there, tried online retailing 10 years ago and just couldn't manage to suceed, but that's mainly b/c of my mental disablity and ended up just working for my dad isntead, but somehow I'm iching to try this business again but this time dragging my brother with me, lol.

Competition is fierce everywhere, especially in business. Sometimes the 'average Joe' forgets that, and thinks that every small business owner has it easy. Problem is, these days profit margins are often razor thin, and you'll work long hours just to earn that little bit.
Some people get lucky, but most don't really. Wal Mart runs well on razor thin profit margins, but that's just because they can make up for that with volume...
VOLUME is the key these days.

What you said couldn't be anymore true, ppl like evs getting upset thinking my dad makes a living by just pushing a few buttons and barking orders at work, calling it a day is no doubt just dumb and ignorant of the problems he have to solve every day. Business is only for the determined, hardworking, ambitious etc, simply it's war. While I have a strong feeling evs would end up pulling out all her hair if she end up ever running one.
Evs couldn't run shit. She can't even hold down a job here in a unionized environment. She still has that Eastern Bloc 'socialism' running through her veins, and that will never change.

It really helps with anxiety. It keeps me calm. It's something I really need right now as I can freak out on people and really go to town. It also takes the sluggish feeling away. I need it cause it helps in a positive way...esp now that my kid is older....she's starting to be like mom sometimes...she's really standing up for herself, which is good...but like mom...can go over board...just some things I'm trying to change in life...

Consumer products, yes, I've noticed that.
