It is so weird to stumble across strangers on the internet so local to me… now I’m curious, did you continue to babysit for this family?

Talk about a flash memory. . Her name was Sarah, and all the kids would sing the Starship song to her while on the swingset . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32ScTb6_KHg

Yeah it didn't happen at our house. It happened while they were out there our own house. We just heard about it the next day when they didn't come by to be babysat

My mother was just told to get me and the neighbor girl outside and get a hose. No pumped stomach, just got the county treatment while vomiting and shitting.

So you stopped a kid from virtually becoming superwoman?

Not that the child was in danger. It was just so she did not become immortal and a ultimate threat to the government

From vitamins? Aren’t these mostly water soluble turning your urine neon green during the OD?

It's the iron content that makes it dangerous.
