My grandmother always said words to the same effect - only the way she put it was "you will eat a lot of dirt before you die, so no use worrying about it".

I've given up on listening to the panicky news alerts on food and health hazards. Heck, I've lived this long with whatever hazard they are spouting off about and I am not in bad shape for my age.

Yes, its true, and if you listen and worry about everything you hear, you wonder how you ever managed with kids without car seats and all these new fangled distraction devices when driving and a million other things they tell us we should do or not do. I'm glad they didn't have all these suggestions/ideas when I was younger. Some things are better today, some are worse. I don't believe everything I hear. I pick out what will help me and leave the rest ::) Mary -- ========== Please DELETE this text block when replying! ========== Contact the moderators at: asapm-board(a)stump.algebra.com The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm ========= This notice is added to each approved article ==========
