[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1891099, member: 68421"] I do mix everything on occasion for entirely different reasons. (A friend used to do that, and called it his "Monkey Powder." He actually shot the stuff.) I just leave it around until I need to do a demonstration of how powder burns ... Pour out a little trail of the stuff, stand back and toss a match at it. Kids are always fascinated ... mothers are always horrified ... Dads often go fascinated with the kids unless the mothers are around. As for dads who are horrified, show them the door. They are sorry, useless drones, "educated" to the point of pussification. Sometimes you can get them to examine their "feeeelings," both before the show and in retrospect after the show, and maybe very gently (poor fragile souls!) teach them [help them learn] "something," perhaps even of value. Like, distinguishing "Apparent hazard V.S. Real hazard," and "Who do you trust?" Neighborhood teaching opportunity. [/QUOTE]
