| 462399 | 2006-06-14 07:13:00 | My grandmother made a potion called "Tincture of turpentine" for colds and wheezing . It tasted pretty good as I recall . We cannot get ANY paints with lead in them at all! Tots are said to chew the paint off whilst in their cribs and it sets them back many mental years in life . I guess that explains the social advancement in grade levels that the students receive nowadays . It's sad to see junior college sophomores who cannot write or recognize the letters in their own names . It would not be fair to the rest of the class to have a cadre of 20 year-olds in the same classrooms as they; makes the school sports coaches happy though! Some of the kids in the 6th grade have been shaving for a couple of years, and I heard of one graduating and going right on social security the next week . Gads! Look at the mental progression of this post; from blonde jokes to school/educational comments . We is a diversified lot! |

I don't think there are any lead paints on the market these days . However I do know of a family which was devastated by the effects of lead paint poisoning . The parents laboured industriously on an old villa, sanding down doors, skirting boards etc . Then they noticed after about 6 months that their 4 year old seemed unwell . Subsequent testing showed brain damage from lead paint dust and the whole family was affected but the child was the worst . So lead paint dust is one danger to take seriously . |

| 462401 | 2006-06-14 12:49:00 | Had a stain on my white nylon shirt and it dissoved that stain right away. Of course it dissolved the shirt too.......................... :o Twasn't nylon then Winston, nylon doesn't dissolve in turps, mineral or otherwise. I use old nylon (synthetic)shirts as painting rags because there is less chance of spontaneous combustion than with cotton, and they get soaked and rinsed in turps with no ill effect at all. They don't like hot irons though, you sure you were not trying to cook the stain out? :D Cheers Billy 8-{) :eek: |

| 462402 | 2006-06-15 09:10:00 | Check this out . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Irish Vasectomy After having their 11th child, an Irish couple decided that was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed . So the husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children . The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy that would fix the problem but it was expensive . A less costly alternative was to go home, get a firework, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10 . The husband said to the doctor, "B'Jayzus, I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I don't see how putting a firework in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me . " "Trust me, it will do the job", said the doctor . So the man went home, lit a banger and put it in a beer can . He held the can up to his ear and began to count: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5," at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs so he could continue counting on his other hand . This procedure also works in New Zealand . |

"I've got everything Organized already: the flowers, the church, the cars, the reception, the rings, the minister, even ma stag night... Archie nods approvingly. Havens, I've even bought a kilt to be married in!" continues Jock. A kilt?" exclaims Archie, "That's braw, you'll look pure smart in that! And what's the tartan?" Archie then enquires. Och," says Jock, "I'd imagine she'll be in white... |
