you made me think of quicksand....saw this definition and it makes my head swim: Quicksand is a shear thinning non-Newtonian fluid.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:35:00 AM
Ooooh let's talk about that
Dale Hazelton 7:38:30 AM
it is supposed to be a huge danger according to all tv westerns.
jrlp 7:47:28 AM
So, nightmare.

Emily Borowski 9:37:39 AM
I wash my lettuce to feed my pet rabbit! We use a salad spinner -- I wonder how effective it is
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:43:36 AM
Good morning Emily! I think that's a great idea and that salad spinners are great -- they get rid of any contaminated water still on the leaf
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:43:51 AM
Shout out to all the wild rabbits out there who can't wash their produce before they steal it from your garden
Emily Borowski 9:51:22 AM
so true <3
Emily Borowski 9:51:59 AM
