We prefer Mississippi mud here lol
well at least baking the dirt before its consumed "should" (if it was long enough) kill all the potential tape worms, round worms, etc....I would assume the school is responsible for monitoring all the kids health in case parasites suddenly happen.

I used to go to an antique mall in Sharon . Long time ago and not sure it’s still there but it was a big mall . I think it used to be a grocery store . But had good times . I thing I still have a few things that I bought . One was a five gallon aquarium , slate bottom , with top all brand new in box . I think it was from the 70’s .

I was , but my better half use to live in Youngstown . We would always go visit around Christmas time or somewhere around that time . My father-in-law would take us to Sharon as well as many places . I think there is a truckstop just inside of Sharon that had wedding soup and good hamburgers .
