Old beer advertising sign

Ok, last post for the evening folks as I need to get supper started.  We found this old tin advertising sign out in the shed yesterday.  Falls City Brewing Company used to be located in Louisville, KY.  Does anyone remember drinking this stuff?  If you're a collector, you might want to check it out at my auction - just point that lil mouse HERE.   Ya'll southern interior decorators NEED it !!   ::wink::

Trixie & Tammy

I listed the Trixie Belden books on Ebay yesterday along with Tammy's Hollywood Adventure.  Even as a child I was an avid reader.  Who knows?  Maybe someone out there collects these things.  There were a few others listed, so maybe I'll get a little something for them.  I especially love the Tammy book.  She's dressed in a blue majorette uniform holding her shiny baton.  How does she go from the football field to Hollywood?  Buy the book and find out!

Mercury alert for parents

Case report: Young girl inhales glass thermometer [Reuters Health eLine]

We rid our hospital of mercury-containing blood pressure cuffs and thermometers a few years ago.  I can remember when I was a little girl, playing with spilled mercury after a glass thermometer had broken in our home.  Of course, back then, my parents weren't aware of any danger, and it was kinda fun rolling those little silver balls around on the floor.  But if you've ever tried to clean up a mercury spill, you know how difficult it can be.  We have special clean-up kits on hand at work just for cleaning mercury, along with strict disposal procedures.  Let this recent tragedy be a warning to parents.  Spend the extra money and buy one of those new-fangled digital ones.  Keep your kids safe.
