JoeR,
I heard about that petting zoo in Florida with the E Coli thing. I think it's pretty sad when you can't visit a petting zoo. Why not throw the dogs and cats out too. Who knows what they've been walking in. Let's throw lyme disease and West Nile disease and UV rays in there too. I'll tell you you there's days you wonder if you should even go outside anymore.
The other day on the news a reporter was saying a new study was saying having a big butt is actually good for your health while having a big gut is bad. Well gee, I've spent the last two years dieting and I can fit into jeans I haven't for a long while, but I still have some gut left. Now I find this out that I am in worse shape now than if I had just kicked back and opened a six pack and sat on my big butt.
I am going to tear down an old farm house on my place. Well now you got to have asbestos testing before you do that. You know the people who really had a problem with asbestos were the guys who worked in factories or job where they came in daily contact with dust born versions of it, But this obseesion with minute quantities has created a whole little industry of fear.
I guess (me being raised on a farm) going out to the chicken coop to pick up eggs for breakfast would kill the average kid nowadays.
And when I thnk about it, I never got sick until I started going to school.
So to sum up I think I rather go to a petting Zoo than going back to school again.
Sorry for the rant. Try to have nice day anyway.
