Anyone who has a deck about their home has it. Anyone who goes to fishing pier or nature walkway made of artificially long lasting wood is exposed to it. It is known literarily on stage and in novel with much worse effect than is seen in our everyday lives, however. Just imagine the newly re-opened Fairhope pier and all the tykes handling the protective fencing and the taller people lolling on the railing or resting on the benches. Ah, sickness and slow death are sure to follow, right?<BR/>According to media reports , our surroundings are full things that are harmful, like staff, ecoli, eboli, hepatitis, mosquitos, fleas, ticks, peanut butter, aids, TB, and on and on. Arsenic is deadly to some life, but I'd bet a goat could eat it and never know the difference. Our neighbor's goat ate a whole box of Miracle Gro, just before eating the wires off of their trailer. Feeding the BILLY goat arsenic would be a good test; a dose of medicine for him maybe.<BR/>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825814.post-1140161887153415412007-02-14T08:20:00.000-08:002007-02-14T08:20:00.000-08:00Hi, I'm doing a research project on blogs and blog...Hi, I'm doing a research project on blogs and bloggers in the Mobile/Pensacola vicinity.

They're probably selling rejected manuscripts by the metric tonne to recyclers and making more money that way than on actually publishing!

I say do what makes you most comfortable and will not keep you awake at night. : )<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the recycling of your manuscript...when you are a world famous author topping the best seller list you can send them a box of shredded something-or-other!<BR/><BR/>An old high school friend of mine just returned from a visit to Fairhope and attended the Mardi Gras parade there...She spoke of its beauty with many flowers blooming...she said:"It's very seductive but the real estate prices are a bit over the top (though nothing like Colorado and California)..." I think that she might even consider renting a place there at some time...she liked it that much. <BR/>Thought that I'd share that with you. <BR/>Have a nice day!L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03042991196923675751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825814.post-1171371896266192862007-02-13T05:04:00.000-08:002007-02-13T05:04:00.000-08:00Best to republish. Let it all hang out there. No...Best to republish. Let it all hang out there. Nothing like a little real controversy to keep the old blood flowing. Besides, I didn't get to read it. <BR/><BR/><I>Arsenic</I> huh? Maybe in Utopia the children should be given a tiny taste of poison every so often, just to build up an immunity to the hard world outside the school door. <BR/><BR/>I don't remember the name of the poem. I think it was by A. E. Housman, about an old Greek King name of Mithridates who knew he was the target of assassins whose favorite weapon was poison. He implemented the "cure" recommended above. The last line of the poem told the story: "Mithridates, he died old."Benedict S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18319073770437347659noreply@blogger.com
