Back in my younger days, I scored a 2-year-old VW Rabbit with about 3,000 miles on the odometer from a neighbor for $500. He bought the car for his wife, who despised the thing and filed for divorce over it! The parking brakes were rusted stuck, but that was an easy fix.....

Reminds me of a guy I worked with in the early 80's. We would get paired up for field repair on heavy equipment. He was in his very late sixties, maybe 70. If you smashed a finger he would grab his drill and drill a hole in your fingernail. If he got a cut he would put some battery acid on it, wrap it with electrical tape and go back to work. I learned a lot of good field injury repair tips from him, but stopped short of the battery acid trick!

I worked through a lot of injuries. Sucked it up and kept working. Now days if an employee stubs their toe they go to a worker's comp doctor and need 3 days off to recover.

I realize that I'm young enough to be everyone's daughter on this Forum but I remember being covered head to toe with that pink stuff after I decided to poke
at a bee's nest. So I'll get off all of your lawns.

There you go..au naturel like the Duke would have done. What do "they" say? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? Then if that doesn't work you can smear the results with Ichthammol Ointment like my Mommie used to do.

Back then, we use a paste made Baking Soda and Water. Then return to the site with a cup of gasoline and a few matches...

Eh? Mercurochrome was painless wasn't it? You should try tincture of iodine.
