A VISCOUS GAME FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
The Rules Once you have your slime, have the participants sit in chairs arranged in a row just a few feet apart. Everyone should have something over their eyes (disposable masks work perfectly) and a wide bin in front of them. Make sure to have a lot of slime. It can be any color — but the more, the better.
Make memories and have fun passing the slime! What makes this game so great? You only need people, chairs, bins, and masks or eye coverings for an unforgettable experience. Slime is the latest and greatest fad among children, and it’s easy to see why: Its unique texture and bright colors keep kids engaged. How to Create Slime Before you can play, you have to make the slime. There are many approaches, but the simplest recipe requires only three ingredients. You can customize it with food coloring and scale up the ingredients for larger quantities.
The rules are simple, but they need some coordination.
1. The person in front starts things off with their bin filled with slime. 2. They pull their bin over their heads, attempting to spill its contents onto the bin in front of the person behind them (without looking to see where the bin actually is). 3. That person pulls their bin over their head similarly, and so on until the end of the line. Directing the slime is the messy part since participants are blindfolded. That’s how you play pass the slime! Hint: If it gets stuck in your hair, try coconut oil. While pass the slime is particularly unique and fun, it’s just one of many ways to play with slime. You can also make art, form bubbles, and more. Children are imaginative and constantly invent new and exhilarating slime activities. The family who slimes together stays together.
• •
8-ounce bottle of Elmer’s white school glue
Food coloring of choice
• 1 1/2–2 tablespoons of contact saline solution or lens cleaner (make sure it contains boric acid or sodium borate) • 1 tablespoon of baking soda To begin, mix the glue and food coloring into a bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of contact solution. If you want a thicker consistency, add another 1/2 tablespoon. Knead the slime. It will be liquid at first, but it’ll thicken as you work it. After a while, the concoction turns into slime.
INJURED ON THE JOB IN TEXAS? What You Need to Know About Nonsubscriber Companies
While you’re hard at work, you shouldn’t have to worry about what will happen next if you are injured on the job. In most states, legislation requires employers to provide benefits through workers’ compensation. However, Texas is unique; it is the only state where companies can opt out of the program. These companies are called nonsubscribers. When someone is harmed on the job, it is an incredibly vulnerable time, and understanding the nuances of workplace injuries can be overwhelming. However, you can seek compensation for your losses directly from these companies should you get hurt. Nonsubscribers In Texas, most nonsubscribers are big box companies like Amazon, Home Depot, Kroger, and Walmart. They don’t subscribe to workers’ compensation, and while some
nonsubscribers carry a different form of insurance, it does not provide the same benefits to injured employees. Typically, with personal injury claims, if a company is being sued because they caused an injury, the company is permitted to attempt to blame the injured person who filed the lawsuit. In nonsubscriber cases, however, the company is not allowed to blame the employee for their injuries or to terminate an employee who has sued them for damages. If a company is determined to be even 1% responsible for their employee’s harm, they are on the hook for 100% of the damages. Proving Negligence One of the main benefits of workers’ compensation is that it streamlines the process for individuals who are hurt at work. People injured at nonsubscriber companies
must do the legwork of filing a lawsuit against their company to seek payment for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages, but they are subject to personal injury laws, which require proving negligence of the employer. Some of the most common ways employers are found liable for their workers’ injuries are poor training, unsafe conditions, dangerous machinery, inadequate safety gear, or even the negligence of another co-worker. Many of the nonsubscribers in the state are large companies, but don’t be intimidated. Though your company may have led you to believe you don’t have any options, you can recoup your losses. Nonsubscriber claims have a success rate of less than half that of the state’s regular workers’ comp cases. So, it’s crucial to find a lawyer with expertise.
