Yeah, one or two.
I've got a ton of stories too, it's just that I personally prefer to keep them to myself, besides some of them are so strange, wacky or sit-com like I honestly don't even believe them myself and I sometimes ask myself if it truly happened or if I perhaps just dreamed it and confused it with reality.

Needless to say when both the story about fighting a tree after 5 days of no sleep which induced heavy hallucinations and the story of roaming the streets at night with a baseball bat hoping to commit acts of vigilantism (Fortunately it never happened) have been confirmed as true by other people I honestly don't know what to believe anymore, maybe you aren't even real and are just a product of my imagination!

I legitimately don't know, it could be true, I mean I certainly believed I was super scary and everyone in the street was afraid of me a few years ago, & now I have no idea how I could've ever thought that, certainly some of the horrible nightmares that I call my life must be some form of hallucination.

So I must ask you, figment of my imagination by the name of Houseman, what kind of horrible psychological damage I've suffered do you represent & why do you manifest in this manner?!

Edit: Tons of grammar mistakes, just give me a break I'm very tired right now.

I now want to get a gun and start shooting big bottles of sanitizer and aerosol cans in general.
LOL We did that on my parents land behind the pond but with paint cans.. That and threw them in trash can fires and ran for cover. Oh and the fireworks wars were pretty well total insanity when a bunch of people showed up... Giant box of fireworks on fire in the back of my brother's pick up truck and people trying and failing to get close to it trying to drag it out so it wouldn't catch his truck on fire with Saturn missile batteries shooting everywhere at them and cake and tube mortars going off all over the place. My best friend came out with a bald spot on top of her head from her hair catching fire from a roman candle and me and my little brother both wound up in the ER from my cousin throwing fireworks in my clothes and his shoe melted to his foot.. Oh the joys of summer. LOL

(Just picture 10 kids, mostly teenagers and they all invited dozens of people each, our 20 or so cousins and their friends.. and who bought beer, liquor..weed shrooms.. and who knows what else and tens of thousands of dollars in fireworks with no parents or supervising adults to be seen anywhere.. It is known to us forever as " The war of Snake Lake" because there were tons of snakes in the pond on my parents farm, which my cousin actually put explosives inside of the snakes and blew up as well. Yes, even exploding snakes in the air was not even the strangest thing that happened that night)

I once had a certifiable 3 pound shit.

I didn't share that story because I didn't think it was something people would want to know.

But if Houseman insists...

(I could also talk about the time I participated in a multimillion dollar NASA experiment; edit: after thinking about it, it would be more accurate to say I worked on and helped plan that NASA experiment)

I approve of this post. This is the exact content I came here for

Going back a bit from deciding lil devils X can't have done noteworthy things for some reason... in the first article, did she have a bottle of flammable liquid attached to her wrist when she was starting fires?

Yeah, it's not because you buy off-brand that something went wrong there.

Yea, this has been sort of a thing for a long time now. They have been making these for kids as well forever:


Most of the ones I saw people wearing looked like these:


When I was up at the elementary schools doing health checks, most of the teachers were wearing them and even some of the students and this was prior to the pandemic, so this is really common. You don't think about how unsafe something like that is until something crazy like this happens.

Doesn't really matter as most hand sanitizers are composed of alcohol and other flammable materials. If you get an open flame close to it it will catch fire and it will do so explosively. In Sweden everyone in public jobs is required to take a 4 hour fire safety and prevention courses every 3 years and the standard for us in healthcare is for the firefighter leading the course to pool up hand sanitizer and light it, just to show us how flammable it is. Being of high alcohol content and free of contaminants it burns fast and hot and it doesn't require much to set it on fire.

Though one would think that any sane adult would understand that it is a bad idea to mix an alcohol gel with an open flame.
Look at Bath and body works, you can buy hand sanitizers and candles in the same scents..

I bet they even offer gift packages that combine them! See they are just secretly trying to explode people.../s

Yea, at the clinic we stopped using the hand sanitizer many years ago and made everyone fully wash their hands in between patients anyhow. That was actually why I noticed everyone wearing them at the schools and thinking they were getting that stuff in their eyes, nose, mouth, and all over everything they touch. It wasn't just the teachers using it either, they actually had it on their wrists to use on the children's hands and they are even more likely to rub it all over the place. All it would take is one birthday candle and the same thing could have happened. They still use open flame candles in school for cakes here so yea, they are lucky this didn't happen as well.

I ship small commercial packages for customers in the US: most of the people trying to ship hand sanitizer through the mail don't even know it's flammable.

You do realize that international best practice is to wash your hands with soap between patients and to use hand sanitizer before and after every patient and after every physical contact with a specific patient, right? If your clinic stopped using hand sanitizer, you are putting your patients at serous risk and you're in violation of government guidelines.

I mean, CDC backs me up on this: https://www.cdc.gov/handhygiene/providers/index.html
We are no longer using leave on hand sanitizer, instead we are washing with hibiclens and not gel hand santizers and utilize gloves as well. Don't worry because our clinic exceeded recommendations and passed our inspections with flying colors. They wash their hands in between patients and while interacting with patients when necessary and every room is equipped with a proper sink. The problem with using gel leave on hand sanitizer when dealing with infants and children is, like I mentioned above, it can get in their eyes, nose and mouth during examination or when having to hold them for vaccinations. When we are having to put our fingers in newborns mouths and check inside children's eyelids, having a gel on our hands that spreads to everything we touch, including our gloves is not safe in that environment. Surgical scrub is a safer alternative and meets government requirements.

Any decent hand sanitizer has an alcohol content of 60-95%. I don't know how the likelihood of it igniting in a hot car is, but it seems prudent to keep it away from direct sunlight or other heat sources.
Yep. Alcoholic drinks with an ABV ~40% can be set on fire, but they don't burn well and are not much of an explosion risk.

Standard laboratory sterilising ethanol is 70% minimum. Isopropyl alcohol is slightly better at sterilising and might be a bit lower, down ~60% (~60% is better than ~90%, because technical reasons). That sort of alcohol content requires significantly more care. I'd be surprised if the bottles don't warn you to keep them away from direct sunlight.

Checked a few bottles around the house of varying alcohol contents, and yes, they do warn you. Marked as flammable, warning to keep away from heat sources, direct sunlight, no smoking, keep bottle sealed at all times, all that good stuff.

I'd actually be surprised if bottles in the US don't have a ton additional anti-stupid warnings on them aside from the fire hazard ones. Cuz you know, lawsuits.

Lil does always seem to have an amusing or extraordinary anecdote for nearly every situation, doesn't she? What an exciting life...
She should be a social media influencer. She could make millions out of her life and can actually make a difference in public opinion, instead of wasting time on here with 10 people.
