Phil, I was watchin some cop/mystery/finally solved show the other night. It was about a kid that ingested too much GHB and died. At the time of his death there was no law against it cause it was a new home brew drug. The narrator was describing how and what it was made with. One of the main ingredient was Drano. Now I bet that would clean out the old pipes.
Back in the day, ya were always takin a serious risk when doin basement produced drugs but Drano...really.
Scott, very cool and creative snowmen. The mouth of the one on the left reminds of what I saw just before the last of my Koi ingested a 22 cal lead pellet. That thing had ingested many Purina pellets prior to it's farewell.

When I was 2, I got into the Drano. My Dad rushed me to the hospital in his 63 Plymouth. Only thing I remember about that is puking all over him and the car pulling out of the driveway.

Then there was the time I got into a bottle of aspirin...

I do remember ALL of the cabinets in the house were locked after that!

Well, Dad soon realized he had to lock up his tools as well

Yer dad should have just locked up you.

I'm sure that was a thought at the time, but my uncle had a talk with me after the hammer and nail incident, but the big one was hanging out in the closet in my bedroom with my brother and burning up all of Dad's smokes. That hurt a bit on the backside!
I remember it was leather on a 5yo tush.

Now a days, you can just report to the freaks if you don't get the McDonald's Happy Meal when passing by the golden arches and toss your parents in jail.

Another great page of info about this substance:
the real science behind this compound!

Phil, I hear ya on the NO tolerance for any punishment. Seems like the lack of parental attention and punishment just sets the kids up for a harder fall later on.
Yrs back, I was takin a smart arse nephew to a hockey game. He did something I didn't like so I backhanded him. Not hard, just enough ta let him know that poor behavior would be rewarded with a negative situation for him. He sneered at me and said "I'm gonn sue ya". My first reaction was a hardy laugh. Then I told him ta check with his dad and he would find out that it's useless ta sue someone who has nothing. Dumb as he was, I think he got it.

10 years or so ago we were on vacation with several other families. In the group was a mother and son from Germany. Her son was bigger than the rest of the kids and proceeded to bully them by hitting or pushing them down. Every time, his mother would jump up and say "Accident, it's ok" and then buy the brat a new toy. I walked into a room one day just as the brat came up to my son and pushed him down. Without thinking the flat of my hand met that brat's backside. The mother jumped up and before she said a word I said, "No, it wasn't an accident! I saw the whole thing." The mother was outraged and you could have heard a pin drop in the room, then my SIL started clapping, then all the other parents joined in! The mother and son packed up and left the next morning. I was told later that it is against the law in Germany to spank a child. Lucky for me, we weren't in Germany!

Bet everyone wished that had happened the first day.

Well done Bill.

Well, my Dad was in a work camp in Germany after the mustache took their farm. Their take on spanking at the time was with copious amounts of lead while you are lined up on the edge of a trench.

I was never a brat like you speak of, but a very curious person that just had to get into stuff to see what's up.

Dad learned one day when I was about 9 or so that his Century battery charger burns 6013 rod just fine. OOPS

Never got hand spanked, but that leather belt around my Dad's waist wasn't there to hold his pant's up!

I turned out about as messed up as everyone else. Well, maybe better

Carry On...

I'll see yer "messed up" and raise ya a psychotic !!

I'll call

Dang. that was my best raise.

I will amaze my friends and kids with that statement, thank you.

haha, how many can relate to this one?

Imagine if a few of his buddies got together and one held him back while the others tipped over all the open boxes into one big pile ...

They make the best sandwiches!

Gotta love off season humor!

No, that is their soup of the day, every day!

Ever this far north, gotta get a sandwich...

Yesterday, I asked the gal when the fish house opens? She said this Saturday. They already had some smoke going, and today, it was really sweet.

Sure am glad there are a lot of problems to fix, otherwise I would be home by now.

Where can I get one of those Dihydrogen Monoxide signs?

Now that's my kinda soup!
