We used to play with it all the time. Fun stuff

“We used to play with it all the time. Fun stuff”

So did I. Broke a thermometer one time and caught the mercury on something to retain it. Thought it was so cool that I coated my class ring with it. Turned the yellow gold white for awhile. Forget how I got it off the ring.

As a senior citizen, I am still blessed with good health as were/are my children and theirs.

I’m beginning to doubt whether these fools know anything at all - despite or because of all their degrees.

Its not dangerous to play with every so often. Just need to be careful not to eat it or breath in the vapors. Its been a staple in every science class. They used to liters of the stuff in plastic bottles.

Your showing your age. If a thermometer broke accidentally, it was fun rolling all the small balls into a large enough ball to sweep up...Mercury was fun and I made it to over 70 playing with the stuff....Once you rolled it all into a ball, you could smash it again and go after all the little balls of mercury to make a large ball again....... Until mom caught you......

Thats because it wasn’t Mercury. It was quick silver.

Its all in the name...

just think of all the GE light bulbs now being forced on the citizenry...
