I am just wondering if times have changed or does it seem like there is so much emphasis on hand washing, germs being everywhere?
I mean my brothers and I lived outside in dirt, creeks, woods, climbed trees and were never sick...
I have seen so many new stories on poop being on everything everywhere and bed bugs galore, roaches in hotel rooms..so what is going on?
Heard there is bacteria crawling on fruits and vegetables in stores and showed this lady crawling over potatoes...
Today there was a doctor show on worms..it was so gross.
I just dont remember all of this going on till now...I guess times were worse but this is nuts...
I have another question about how some patients or people whom get a major health problem to live with..some cave in and practically stop living and some overcome and carry on.
The illness is hard enough but the strength it takes to deal with is almost equal..
Do our parents genes kick in with staying power or is it just us?
Then I see those who eat massive amounts of junk, sugar, day and night m,assive size plates and all and it seems like it is nothing ...but if I eat several spoons of ice cream I almost fall over..
And another question is??? How can so many elderly people take 14 meds every day and those side effects dont knock them right out? How can they stand it? And what about the expense?
Then I have a question about TV and we turn it on briefl check the weather and there is a medicine being sold and a horrible illness being described...
heart attacks, poop issues, bowel problems and there is this one ad where a stretcher follows this man around town just waiting for him to collapse...
I just dont remember this when I was watching Howdy /doody or RinTinTin...ha...my round black and white TV..
Another question? How can people stay out late and party?
There wasan ad for the Super Bowl with so much snack food and screaming drinkers....it made me sleepy wanted to go to bed at 8...
I never could be in that environment ever...
Just a gross smell...
And how can somedrink every day from 3 on? With big guts?
I guess a lot of this does catch up....
I jus dont remember seeing so many crazy things going on....
BUT now that I think of it we did have a hot dog burger stand at our pool in our town with relish and mustard and the works..we never got sick
We had milkshakes as a treat at home...
Oh well just thinking of old times I guess
But we did have these signs on front doors: MUMPS, MEASLES, CHICKEN POX...
Any one remember that?
Funny because a girl from my brother's class is looking for him for their reunion from high school..I have 3 handsome brothers and the girls are still chasing them..funny it brought up these questions..
