What was the purpose of that?
At Ft. Polk I was told it was used in explosives manufacturing when I asked why they had collectors.
It works on stinging nettles and man of War stings.
Flower Drum Song novel. Amazing story of the book manuscript. Under the original title Grant Avenue, after several rejections his agent sent the manuscript to Farrar, Strauss and Cudahy. A first reader there was an elderly man who was then found dead in bed with “Read this” scrawled on the manuscript beside him. The publisher did so and accepted the novel which was a best seller in 1957.
Most amazing manuscript story since The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. He had given up on himself and the book at a low point of his self-esteem. He threw the finished manuscript into a waste basket. He made his wife promise not to remove it from the waste basket on her honor.
Mrs. Ruth Stafford Peale then secretly hand carried the waste basket to a publisher to submit it, thus not breaking her promise. The book was accepted and is one of the top 100 bestsellers of all time, with sales in 42 languages and still in print today.
Interesting. Thanks.
In India there were people who drink their own urine, Morarji Desai ,4th prime minister of India did , so... I was told that my ancestors about 150 years ago would put urine on bread and eat it to cure a cold (not verified, but I was told that)
. When the world is running down, you take the best of what’s going ‘round...I guess...
Urine, will stop the burn of jellyfish stings. It’s the acid in it that destroys the chemicals of the sting. Upper body stings require a good friend...
Would not be funny if they put it into your Coke.
