Really? And here I thought that I was the coolest thing since sliced
bread. But at least you inspired me to paint a bit this evening.
Thanx.
But the question remains: Would a swig or 2 at these levels kill a
kid? Yes? No? I don't know. Probably?

As to raising kids and safety . . . I found teaching stuff like "don't
pick up a bottle and chug unknown ****" was more effective than trying
to idiot-proof the environment, but I will concede that situations
differ. My kids were big time risk takers. Mountain climbing, back
country skiing, fire fighting, anything you can do in the water that
surrounds an island or goes down a river, lots of freight train
riding, bumming in Europe, slum living, etc.. So maybe I do tend to
discount the small ****.. But considering the stuff that's in most
garages, basements, medicine cabinets, etc.., I wouldn't be fretting
about some diluted bleach solution in an old Dr. Pepper spray bottle.
But hey, knock yourself out.
