I may chat about my books, what I'm writing or reading, or just general thoughts. You may read posts about my cats or just my crazy life in general. Comments are welcome, if anyone wants to interact with me. Maybe we can share war stories, whether it's writing related or just about life in general.

V is for Vulcanite



Here is an interesting one.  This mineral is also called ebonite.  It’s a hard, moldable polished dark color of brown or black.  This was early rubber.  Vulcanite was produced by adding Sulphur to vulcanized rubber.  It was used for combs, ornaments and buttons.

Hard rubber fountain pin bodies, hockey pucks, battery cases and mouthpieces for clarinet and saxophone are other uses for vulcanite.

  1. I got infected with genital herpes (HSV2) from group sex party 6 years ago
    I started taking lysine 3000 mg of lysine once a day and it worked well for me during outbreaks but it was not enough for me as it does not stop it from breaking out anytime without warning. I endured this for years.
    The fear of a future outbreak made me look for an alternative and I was directed to try Herbalist Ogbona Herbal Cure.
    Amazingly, it worked so well for me, I can't believe it
    Herbalist Ogbona Cure completely cured me hsv2 and I have stayed up to two years with no outbreaks and no side effects from even treatment. It's been life changing.
