Aye-yi-yi! Growing up in the Sonoran Desert; I've managed to pick up a few hints from other, wiser (usually older) folks. Most importantly: DON'T MAKE IT HARDER TO LOCATE, STEAL, OR MANUFACTURE YOURSELF THAT WHICH YOU CAN'T BUY (ANYMORE).
Moulds for making round balls, check. Lead, check (although the lead I have is not "pure"). Nearly lab grade sulfur, check. "Preservative" for bread and cakes, check! Still gotta get myself a cheap rock tumbler and a sorta-local place to get willow charcoal. But I'm durn near ready!
I already have to pee in a bottle at random periods; just one of the requirements for continued employment with my company. Consequently, I'm not much interested in following THAT trail.
Why does the rest of the topic of discussion here have to become so, so, convoluted?
To make matters more confusing, there's a member of this Forum (of the "lady persuasion") that has taken to using the term "Tulala"; which was a term heretofore unknown to me. Since I presumably still have distant relatives (my Maternal Grandmother's Little Sister's - is that distant enough? - offspring; I may hear from them one day, so I looked up this "Tulala".
Criminitly, Muttly! A quick search on Google has created even more confusion! According to the web page to which Google sent me
http://tagaloglang.com/Tagalog-English-Dictionary/English-Translation-of-Tagalog-Word/tulala.html) there are FOUR distinct possible short meanings for the word Tulala. As of right now, with this additional information, I'm more confused!
I do not know if I'm:
1.)star-struck
2.)dumbfounded
3.)astonished or amazed
-or just-
4.)staring into space (like a confused Irishman)
Aye-yi-yi.....
