I remember breaking thermometers for the mercury and smearing it on coins and also have mercury ball races ... trying to see who could get their mercury balls to become one big ball first. And Pixie Stix remind me of the nuns .. I would always stop and buy an orange Pixie Stix on the way to catechism and trying to eat it during class :-( getting caught and surrendering my treat! but I would do it again and again and again!

How about breaking thermometers and putting mercury on dimes....or jusr breaking the mercury in little balls. Were we nuts?

speaking of candy, and pure sugar at that, do you remember pixie stix??

I have to wonder if all the penny candy had something to do with the fact that i ended up with bad teeth...duh ??? most likely but it was so much fun to fill up a bag for a few cents...and some were two for a penny even..

Dear Lisa, As thrilled as I am for the fantastic response to this group,my mailbox is overwhelmed .Can I filter out these memories ,since continuity of thought is not needed here. I leave you with love & skate keys.
