PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this. 

Do not touch it

Do not touch it

Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.

Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.

Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.

These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.

I know most of you are super duper disappointed after the election. I know a lot of you are scared and angry. Those are valid feelings. However I don’t think all of the posts and video etc. expecting the absolute worst, expecting to be shot or beaten, or thinking that Trump is going to create consentration camps and become a new Hitler, is very productive, or even healthy. This seems to me as a very classic example of group polarisation. People make each other more and more frightened, probably to a degree that is not necessary, and cerainly not healty.

One of the specific examples of this is the “50% of Americans are racist, anti-LGBTQIA+, xenophobic, ableist and sexist.”. This can build up an unnecessary amount of fair. This sentence makes it seem like every second person you pass on the streets fall into these categories. No. first of all, 46% of Americans able to vote, didn’t vote (which btw is a big problem I’m no going to discuss). Only about 25% of Americans voted Trump. In other words about ¼, not ½. Second, (and I really really hope I have written this in an understandable way and that you dont misunderstand what I’m trying to say here) not all Trump voters necessarily fall into those categories in the way you think. It’s not like 25% of the population wishes harm onto every woman, Muslim, black person, LGBTQIA+ person, disabled person etc.

Do I personally think it’s important to discuss the discrimination and the fact that so many people voted for a person who has said so many problematic things? Yes! However, I don’t want people to be overly dramatic. Not because Trump voters or Trump deserves more, but because you do. Group polarisation like this, were people make each other more and more fearful is so far from healthy. I simply don’t want you to be more fearful and stressed out than you need to be. For your own sake, and  no one else’s.

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.   At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.  At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.  At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it. 

Never tell yourself you missed your chance. 

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
