Must be their performance evaluations.
Since you don't care about us and are unwilling to control illegal immigration, lower our taxes and encourage people to work instead of giving them welfare, I don't care.
Guess, why it is a No Show on the FOXNews web page. Another MSM panic news play followed by a non-story.
Ain't that the truth. My husband uses it to make some bait cr*p for kokannee fishing. It's been banned to the garage, and I'm not KIDDING! GAG!!
At least you have a possible link to go by.
I think that only smells like garlic after the body has absorbed it and you breathe it back out.
You should hope nothing serious happens to these people. And if it does, then I hope you regret this classless statement.
Is that anything like a flank two?
The tiles were made of paper...
My uncle has lots right next to the post office, and reported is was acid which someone dropped on the floor.
Things like this remind me of when a local office was thrown into a full blown panic and evacuated because someone saw some white powder in the cabinet under the lunchroom sink.
Fire, Police, Hazmat teams, the whole 9 yards.
Uhhh, the cluephone is ringing, it was spilled sink cleanser.

THE MINERAL NATIVE ARSENIC
Chemistry: As, Elemental Arsenic
Class: Elements
Group: Arsenic
Uses: A very minor ore of arsenic and as mineral specimens.
Specimens
Arsenic is historically the poison of choice for many murders, in reality and in fiction. Here, arsenic is dealt with only as mineral specimens and is not to be ingested. Although it has been used as a poison, arsenic has many chemical uses and is quite an important element.
Arsenic does not often form in its elemental state and is far more common in sulfides and sulfosalts such as arsenopyrite, orpiment, realgar, lollingite and tennantite. Due to the abundance of these arsenic bearing ores and the rarity of native arsenic, it is not an important ore of itself. Native arsenic is found in silver ore veins and is processed along with the silver ore and is therefore is a minor source of arsenic.
Native arsenic is usually found to have a trigonal symmetry but a very rare orthorhombic arsenic is known from Saxony, Germany and is named arsenolamprite. The two minerals are called polymorphs (many shapes) because they have the same chemistry, As, but different structures.
An obscure variety name for the concentrically banded or "shelly" arsenic is "scherbencobalt". Some arsenic will have some antimony in its structure and native antimony is nearly indistinguishable from arsenic.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Color is tin-white which quickly tarnishes to dark gray or black.
Luster is metallic but the tarnish will often dull the luster dramatically.
Transparency: Crystals are opaque.
Crystal System is trigonal; bar 3 2/m
Crystal Habits include rare pseudocubic rhombohedral crystals and acicular radial aggregates. More commonly found in fine grained masses with concentric bands or botryoidal crusts.
Cleavage is perfect in one direction (basal), but rarely visible.
Fracture is uneven.
Hardness is 3 - 4
Specific Gravity is 5.4 - 5.9+ (somewhat heavy for a metallic mineral)
Streak is black.
Associated Minerals include silver, dyscrasite, barite, cinnabar and nickeline.
Other Characteristics: Will often have a garlic odor and is poisonous.
Notable Natural Occurrences include Vosges, France; Kongsberg, Norway; Saxony and Harz Mountains, Germany; Honshu, Japan; England; Italy and Santa Cruz Co., Arizona and New Jersey, USA.
Best Field Indicators are tarnish, density, softness, crystal habits, color, garlic smell and associations.
Yes. There is some truth to that...
Mustard gas has a garlic smell and is a blistering agent.
Just posing that as a theory. I pray it's an overreaction.
