Good to know. I use them to pack the pipes on my bike every few years.
"Chore Boy Pads" get me the queer eye

Back in the day when I smoked a pipe 
everybody said not to smoke out of a copper bowl because it gave off harmful fumes when exposed to flame.
Seems like that would be a problem with using Chore Boy pads as a "screen" for smoking crack.
But then people who smoke crack probably aren't expecting to live long enough for it to matter.....

ROFL! Probably the last thing on a crack smoker's mind!!!Back in the day when I smoked a pipe

Hell with them.
Since when is it illegal to buy Chore Boy pads? Are they even being CONSIDERED for regulation? I got angry one time going in to a Walgreen's for some insulin needles and they said that they only sold needles to their insulin customers. I'm a grey headed old coot and it really got on me that theywouldn't sell me something legal, because of a policy that says anybody that buys insulin needles MIGHT be a drug abuser. Still makes me mad just thinking about it.

Yeah, probably - assuming they have enough mind lift to have anything on it.

I got the same thing from a Walgreens in FL buying Clariton-D. The system refused my sale because I had bought too much in the last 30 days. I knew it was wrong (I take one pill a day, and I don't use it to make meth), but the attitude of the clerk went from smiles to eying me like I was a piece of dung.
I mailed the state AG (Pam Bondi) to find out why the system prevented me from buying something that allows me to breath at night and was told they outsourced that function to a company in Texas, which never responded to my question. As with most things these days, there is no accountability if you are a corporation or rich, but if you are the little guy you have to account for your every action and woe be to you if the system says you did something wrong even if you didn't.

FWIW I found a new and very legal use foe the Chor boy a few years ago. I had a 35 + years old Lawn Boy 2 stroke 18'' lawn mower. It still ran good after all those years and no sense upgrading to one of the new machines with all the nanny devices on them.
I needed a air filter and no one had any in stock for that old timer, one shop said it could order me one and it would be about $30 and a couple weeks.--
I saw a few green Chor boys on the wifes sink and a idea hit me. I grabbed a new one cut it in 1/2 used both pieces and if filled the filter housing perfectly. Cost to me 0 and about 2 minuets of labor, cost to wife a few cents. Mower ran the best it ever did with that Mickey Mouse set up!Used that for the next 4 years or so and hit a big rock and totaled the motor by bending the shaft.
Are you sure you don't mean Scotch Brite instead of Chore Boy?
Your right, Mea Culpa! Thanks for your post.
When I posted that "air filter" fix I asked her the name of the product I used. After reading your above post I just asked her could that have been Scotch Bright and she said YES.
Kitchen is hers and I confess I stay out of trouble in there. We have a couple of good understandings, kitchen is hers and the garage is mine. She cooks and I eat!

It's a good idea. I'd think Scotch Brite would make a good air filter medium for small engines.

Copper Chore girl strands also work VERY well to solidify shaky trailer (and other electrical) connections-just wrap a few around the male end to ensure a snug fit into the female receptor. (The plastic ones don't work so well ). COpper ones are pretty high end for crack pipes-most of the junkies make do with regular steel ones.
Want to have some fun....go to a Walmart and ask how much sudafed you need to make some meth.

Federal law as I understand it. I have to buy allergy meds year round to get enough to take care of summer time pollens. What is recommended will keep me indoors with wet towels across my face. It really makes you hate tweekers.
Was checking out of walmart with about 20 cans of their $1/can paint, when young check out clerk got suspicious and started questioning me about "huffing" paint. Told him it was ageism not to allow seniors to huff paint to. While he was still looking at me funny, he rang them up. Then told him the paint was for maintain the steel targets at rifle/pistol range. He quit asking questions, and looked at me funnier yet. He almost looked at me as funny as another counter clerk when I bought bright yellow fingernail polish.
Sometimes it is fun being old redneck.

That explains why I have such a hard time finding them. Jeez. Guess I don't get out much.
Try asking a young male if he intends to get some Prince Albert tobacco to go along with those rolling papers he is buying.
I'm glad to hear....
...verification that some things are very messed up in this country. Trying to get controlled meds is so complicated and full of barriers that I've had to go without meds I'm supposed to take every day.
And I guess big corporations have plenty of places they can point fingers. This is also another consequence of 'outsourcing'.

Love those old Lawnboys, still have two of them, Too bad about the rock, when I was mech at the fire dept we had lots of bent shafts, seems every station had a pipe sticking up out of the grass somewhere
We would take the mowers back to the shop replace the magneto key and could usually straighten the shaft by removing the blade and putting a long pipe over the shaft and applying a judicious amount of force, by the time we got it repaired though there had been a shift change (24 on 48 off) and the next shift would have to finish the mowing,

At that point it was due for honorable retirement. The deck was in bad shape and I did replace it. Gone but not forgotten.
Moved up to one of those "new'' self propelled 21'' and the first thing I did was "adjust'' the nannies to function the way I wanted them to!
