Awww...there's got to be some nurses around here for you to meet...
I hate hospitals and anyone associated with them.

Yeah. Been there, done that. Maybe you hit the nail on the head with that one at that particular moment??
That makes perfect sense.

WIWAK I stayed outside all day in the summer playing, then would have to go in before dark because of the DDT truck spraying. Summers in Texas were awesome then, laid back, fun. I miss those days. No worries, no cares... Because I was a kid.

OMG the DDT spray! We didn't have it in the neighborhood, but when I went to Boy Scout Camp they would come by every evenign and "fog" the tents to keep the mosquitoes at bay. I now know that this was DDT. At the time, we only knew that you could get one hell of a buzz if you could sneak in the tent while they were "fogging." This may explain a great deal of my bazaar behaviour as an adult...
You know, I used to think that too. Then I watched my kids grow up. The problems kids face seem so easy to us adults. But when you're a kid...it's a big problem. Honestly, looking back and remembering and going through it again with my kids...I could do without middle school, and much of High School.
Now college...I could do that again.

I posted about the DDT spray last week, because honestly, the mosquitoes have been absolutely vicious this summer. How ever did we all survive?!

When I was a kid, I learned how to collect medicinal plants, to recognize edible wild mushrooms, to cook outdoors, not to pollute the environment because it was precious and all that at school. I roamed hills and forest and drank from natural spring source found in my village. Oh and I used to play hide and seek in the abandoned Nazi bunkers in the forests nearby. I had an amazing childhood.

I hear ya...WIWAK, I was never allowed to have long hair because my mom couldn't stand listening to me scream when she tried to comb it out. I had a 'pixie' style haircut until I was a teenager.
She also used to make me get my hair thinned. Thinning shears were invented by satan. I'm pretty sure they are the reason I hate to get my hair cut.

When I was a kid I swore that when I was adult I would eat icing out of the can as much as I pleased and I would have bacon at every meal.
Now I rarely eat bacon, mostly because of the fat, but also I always want eating bacon to be something to look forward too.
I do admit that sometimes I eat icing out of the can....
