The funny thing is that everyone is surprised i was right about something..... :confused: :D

I don't think it's personal, it just shakes the very core of our childhood teaching. If it's true, you have to start wondering what else we were taught that is fundamentally wrong - like maybe the the sun really revolves around the earth.
 
I really knew nothing about chiggers, until I Googled it today. I'm 50, and have been in the fields/meadows/woods most of my life, and this is the first I've had them.
 
Chlorine bleach degrades very rapidly upon exposure to oxygen. It's an unstable oxidizer. That's why even for industrial purposes, you likely won't see it in a solution stronger than 15%... it breaks down so fast that to mix it any stronger would just be a waste. (plus the fact that at higher concentrations it will burn your flesh just about as severely as battery acid... don't ask me how I know)

Knowing all of this is actually sort of helpful when your tapwater is so heavily-treated that you can smell the bleach in it :barf: ... whenever practical, I fill jugs/carboys with it and leave them open for a day to let the chlorine dissipate before putting it in/on my garden.

Also, if you want to age/pit/patina a carbon steel blade real quick, just let it soak in a jar of common household bleach for a couple hours. Some makers guard this technique as a super-duper top-secret kinda thing, and charge extra for it... :rolleyes:

Always impressed with the breadth of your knowledge - seriously.

Mile wide and an inch deep ;)

I'm no chemist, I only know about certain chemicals from handling them, back when I used to have a real job. I'm one of those annoying characters who actually reads MSDS sheets and whatnot.

And G money.... I taught James everything he knows :D

Good grief, if that were true it would put us all in a terrible state of affairs. :eek:
 
So I learned a lot about myself at boot camp. Some of it disqualifying.
There is far more to life. :thumbup:
Chiggers suck.
Whatever they do, bite, suck, chew, they itch like a word that rhymes.

Chiggers don't usually bother me, now ticks on the other hand......
I'm not especially fond of any bug, especially parasitical insects, bees are ok. Chiggers like to cause me to gnaw off my feet at the ankles.

I fully admit she ain't the greatest looking, but watch what she makes the van do. She takes a cargo van around the Nuremberg ring in 10 minutes. You could look like ark and it would turn me on to do that!
British chick?
German, born in Nuremberg Germany. First time around the ring was when she was 3 years old, has been around it an estimated 15,000 times and that was 10 years ago. Now she is probably closer to 25. She is the BMW test driver on the ring, she is also the track driver, and is on a German car show. In a role tantamount to the Sting.
Hossa knows what's up!
