Have you ever thought about the first person to eat an egg?......... Takes a special person to see something fall out of the back end of a chicken and say "That looks good, I think I'll eat it".................


Just wondering..........

That person was almost as brave as the person who picked up some bait and decided to eat it. Now we have crawfish (bait) boils all over the place.

The 11-man boards aren't nearly as fun...but Geneva is 8-0 against a mix of varsity and JV teams. The Boy is getting some notice for his blocking at center and his defense. No pass plays to him this year...so we miss that. Oh well...life moves on.

Hope y'all are all well.

Get the windshield & check the tires while you're at it................

Random memory................. I know most of y'all are to young to have had this experience...............
School nurse would come to each classroom and "mop" throats with merthiolate..........

 

[Little Doc]

Was it methiolate or iodine?

 

[CowboyP]

That must have been before my time.

 

[CT6MFL]

Merthiolate = germicide containing mercury



You know, I have come to realize out of the many, many jacked up post that have come (with some still going).

This one makes the most sense

 

[CT6MFL]

I forgot to mention it was the antiseptic of choice in its day

 

[smokeyjoe53]

Was it methiolate or iodine?

Merthiolate........... I remember one kid who wore a white T-shirt to school cold weather or warm. He was always first in line......... Think he was hooked on the stuff

 

[oldfat&bald]

That must have been before my time.

Mine too. I'm almost afraid to ask, but what exactly was that supposed to treat?

 

[smokeyjoe53]

Sore throat I guess.

 

[Little Doc]

Good for those inflamed tonsils that they usually took out when you were in the first grade.

Have ya'll heard the term "mad as a hatter"? Seems around the early 1900's mercury was used help soften hats so that they could be shaped. Too much intake of mercury made them go insane.
