If you are older than 40 or so, you might remember this;

Magic Crystal Garden Recpe

I’m going to relive some childhood memories for Halloween with this.  (Oh, if only some cable channel would show reruns of “Dark Shadows”.)

I did something similar, with epsom salts, as a kid.. only to find out that the hard water of our town really interferes with crystal growth. raspberry

1: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it does what it says, you should have no problem with this.
2: What proof will you accept that you are wrong? You ask us to change our mind, but we cannot change yours?
3: It is not our responsability to disprove your claims, but rather your responsability to prove them.

What part of ‘meow’ don’t you understand?

I remember those.  We used to get them for presents every now and then.  I was much more interested in the Sea Monkeys because they were alive.  smile

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

When life hands you lemons make apple juice. Then laugh while life tries to figure out how you did it.

I did something like this long, long ago.  It worked out okay for a little while, then some salt-resistant bacteria got into it and turned the thing into a green mess of ick.
