Which Allied Country broke the stalemate during ww1?

You are right, NS, Canadian troops were on the line with the French and Algerians. The French and Canadian troops were the intended target, but the wind shifted slightly and it ended up in the French and Algerian section of the lines.

I once met an old vet (very old) who'd been at Ypres, who'd had his left hand shot off by machine gun fire.

Actually my Mom had an accident with toxic fumes.

I guess she had discoverd a spot of Dog Urine at the landing of the stairs, it was a huge spot (Rottweilers carry a **** Load of piss) anyways is was a pain trying to clean it with generic cleaner.

She decided to mix a small pale of Bleach and Amonia not knowing the what would happen, she managed to carry the pale to the the spot without disturbing the mixture, but when she started scrubbing the floor, she hollerd to me that her nose was bleeding, so I ran to grab some kleenex when I came back I saw my Mom pouring the pale into the sink,
she fell over gasping for air, I basically dragged her outside the house, Iwent back inside to get her inhaler and the cordless phone, I was only in the house like 30 seconds and my eyes were burning, my nose was running and felt like I was going to puke

Anyway, in the end we were both fine,

Though my Mother had lost her voice for few weeks,


Which was a blessing in disguise.

Well at least she was alright in the end. Thank god for that, eh?

Mixing those 2 together is a really deadly combo. Believe it or not, what happened to you guys is a best case scenario. Worst case is that you could cause an explosion! Household bleach is not really pure Chlorine, it is one part Chlorine, one part sodium and one part oxygen. What it looks like in your case is that the mixture created a compound that released the Chlorine molecules to roam freely. That is what caused the reactions you and your mother experienced.

My wife actually had Chemistry as her major course of study in the Germany Gymnasium (like a US highschool but equal to almost an Associates degree in the US and required to attend a German University) and one of her classes was about making chemicals including chemical gasses used for WMD's. The teacher thought it would be interesting to learn about them because it was during the whole thing about Al Quida getting WMD's and the build up for Iraq.
