This is my first attempt to be a blogger. I hope to type a few items that you will enjoy. |

I do not know where to begin with this description. The time period is from 0 to now. Please don't ask how long that is. I am sure with certain clues, you will be able to figure that out. I am writing this on my favorite old computer at home. I have a computer room that doubles as a retreat for a few of my pets when they want to be alone. I will cover mostly current thoughts. I hope to add some pictures as I have seen in a blog. I think that to do this sharing will take a lot of work, but the pictures I have seen are well worth it. Occasionally, I might review a flashback in mylife. I have times when I just roll that special even around in my mind until it has every possible facet examined. Usually this time is to try to figure out a "what if" scenario. If some of my items have no zest to it feel free to say so. I think that after I have some a few trial runs, then the real me will be out for all of the world to see. Luck you! As the saying goes, "Come with me and the best is yet to be." |
 A Long Life Doesn't Matter That is indeed a question or prompt that one can look at from several different ways. Things, especially life is different in these days than before. None of my family worked in coal mines in which coal dust was not good for the respiratory system, coal mines could have a cave in, bad again, and carcinogens like diesel exhaust and heat stress. But a person who was a farmer risked cancer from herbicides or tractor accidents. My brother was in the military and did not become involved in combat but was exposed to Agent Orange. He has been fighting cancer for a few years. While a mechanic of the air planes for the military could have exposure to hazardous chemicals, that caused skin and/or respiratory issues. There could be noise induced hearing loss, physical injuries, or workload stress. Different eras present different difficulties. Each family has different environments. And no one is born perfect. My family on each parents' side had stumbling blocks or adversities to identify and overcome. Both sides were immigrants from Europe. They were mostly penniless and young. I'd like to suggest that for the person in question, here are factors such as household income, cultural background, place of residence, and genetics together. For a family of four children, who went to to live in the world on their own terms, the result could be that the siblings might die within 5, 6, 7 or 8 ears of each other. If they all went on a trip on the Titanic, then, guess what! All might die. If one child was a policeman, the next a doctor. the third a banker, and the fourth a school teacher in the wild west, it could be the same. (I think that I am getting into deep water with my line of reasoning.) Stop reading this if it is confusing or you'd rather not go farther. My husband and I are about our parent's ages. We are careful with travel and activities. We are eating as healthy as possible. And we exercise frequently. Who knows if someone will sneeze a flu or pneumonia germ in our face. Who knows when a drunken driver will run a red light. And who know when an airplane we are riding on will lose it's engine and crash. If we are going to go then, say , "Good-bye!", give us a hug and be at our funeral. Our next address might be on earth or elsewhere. I just hope I did not have much pain. Take care ya'll. And take care of our pets if we leave any behind. |
