Wonder why I'm crazy?

My first dentist paid for his house and car installing these in my head - every molar.  He was a con man - convinced my mom I had cavities in every one -- I remember him showing her cavities where she couldn't see anything on the x-rays.

Now the question is, why did we have to find it in a UK paper? hmm

Ah, yes . The mad hatter. The beaver pelts were cured/groomed with mercury.

Just how far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go?

Dang it.  I'm down to about 16 feet already.

OMG Glenn...the point of no return is 12 feet!! Hope you don't go postal.

All bs aside, I had a conversation with a pharmicist about this very subject nearly 40 years ago. His concensus was .... yeah, we'll see.

I remember playing with liquid mercury to turn pennies 'silver'. (going thru the 24 foot level....I like even numbers.)

edit-...I've started re-reading the works of Thomas Paine, Thoreau, and Emerson. Nuff said.

There is little hope.  I have already planned on digging deeper for the root cellar.

I really enjoyed Walden Pond.
