Okay, okay, I’ve been accused of being a curmudgeon by my Mom, like Andy Rooney. Not once did I say… “did ya ever notice…?” Regardless of our respective ages, we must respect our parents. She says things will loosen up…   Read more»

I received my first chemistry set when I was eight (back in 1961). I still collect old chemistry sets, oldest one from the 1920’s. HAD TO EDIT WHAT WAS HERE ON MY FIRST POST DUE TO THE MORONIC, PARANOID MOOD…   Read more»
