poison ivy

[PeteLeathersac]

Nasty stuff....I used to get it almost every summer as a kid. . Is there any truth to the old meds being made from whale sperm....that was the old story I remember? .

Here's a good one....the very first time I got 'the ivy' was as a kid hiking into the Oshawa GM industrial dump. . It wasn't far from where I lived then and was a nice hike on a summer day. . There was tons of 'new' parts dumped there also lots of smelly industial chemical waste etc....a great place for us car-kooky kids to play??? . We used to roam around trying to identify parts and the place was usually unattended although we did get caught a few times....once driven home to our Dads by the dump guy! . It seemed to be mostly excess or damaged new 'line' parts....lots of stuff that was maybe 5 years old too, all dumped in piles then driven over by dozers etc. . We used to come home w/ radios, grilles, steering wheels, nameplates etc.....I think there's a '65 Pontiac tail-lamp lens still here somewhere from then? . I haven't thought about the place for a years....wow time sure does fly! . I think there's a subdivision there now....wonder what all's in the ground? .
