I still have my lovely napkin ring from when I was a kid. Ever seen them? They were to keep the napkin in order from meal to meal. Kids were expected to get a few less meals out of them than adults. |

I can imagine. I don't want to blow snot into a hankie and then stuff it into my pocket. That ranks up there with blowing your nose into a tissue and then tucking it under the cuff of a sweater. yech While Chinese may recoil at the thought of stuffing a wad of snotty cloth into to their pockets they have a reputation for grossing out others by spitting everywhere. |

There's some people here that will do that. That's so inconsiderate. I shall check to see if these people look pake. If you ask me, people should only spit straight up into the air. |

That's so inconsiderate. I shall check to see if these people look pake. If you ask me, people should only spit straight up into the air. That's a pet peeve of mine. I've heard many men (those pigs) spit in a very loud ritual manner. 3 loud steps: 1) loudly suck in snot from your nose down into throat 2) very loud hoc sound to bring it up into your mouth 3) followed by an extremely loud spit This is one reason I don't carry a gun. ;) |

While those select-a-size paper towels are nice, you pay extra for that feature. I'll bet he doesn't realize that *ALL* paper towels of any brand are also 'select-a-size." All you have to do is tear them from one perforated side to the other perforated side and they all tear evenly. If you try to tear one from the 'end of roll' side, they will rip apart in a random manner and be a mess. |

My son got a few spankings when he was young. There were no props used, just quick smack of the hand. Beating a child will only make the kid blame and hate the one who beats them. To be effective, a spank has to be immediate so they associate their action with the discomfort that followed. |

I finally turned to her and said, "If you don't stop that, I'm going to spank you." To our surprise, she immediately turned and ran back into her bedroom and shut the door. About 5 minutes later she came back and looked at me defiantly and said, "Go ahead and spank me dad, see if I care!" So, jokingly, I turned her around and gave her a little swat on her butt. But it didn't feel right and she also starting giggling, so I said, "Wait a minute here." I lifted up her nightgown and saw that when she had run into the bedroom, she put on about 12 pairs of panties to pad her butt. LOL. Too funny! |

Same here with my children, Dave. Just a quick swat, not hard enough to inflict pain. It was just a gesture to show extreme disapproval. Very often, just a frown or even a raised eyebrow did the trick. Speaking of children, I need to call my daughter soon. Today is her birthday. And again...don't forget Sheldon here. His birthday today too. |

The old timers would tell me of getting popped with the flat palm of the hand on their ear. Evidently, this lead to broken eardrums. That was shocking to me. As disciplinary tactics goes, this seems more like a US Navy Seals hand to hand combat technique. |

This stuff is way too confusing for me. I just read that up to 50% of the people who have Covid19 have no symptoms and aren't even aware that they have it. Some studies showed that presymptomatic individuals passed the virus on to others. At any rate, I gather that the reason for testing so many people is to help track the sources. If they get people who are recently infected it is easier for them to trace their contacts and find the others who may have contracted it and get them into isolation before they pass it on. |

One of the problems with Covid19 is that they information we get keeps changing. I saw a video the other day where a woman talked about all the facts that he have been told about the virus. It is pretty funny the way she says one thing that we have all heard and then follows it immediately with something contradictory that we have been told. |

This virus is everywhere. No avoiding those little evil ones forever no matter what precautions are taken, imo. Sooner or later it will get you too. The healther people won't get too sick or even know they get it...minor symptoms. Others will get very sick like any virus can make you feel (I've had a few) and recover after a few very miserable days. And as always, any virus will kill off some weaker people with bad health issues to start with. Many of the risky people are the main ones to get flu shots each year. This virus has no vaccination yet so it's killing more weak people than usual. All of the stastics reported are not quite accurate either. The numbers used are correct but they don't report all the numbers that should be taken into consideration. The USA is in a major hypochondria meltdown, imo. |

Most people will suffer from asymptomatic pneumonia which leads to reduced oxygen levels in their blood for up to 10 days which sets the stage for permanent lung damage which also helps sets the stage for total organ and system collapse. By the time you feel sick, you're already knocking on Heaven's door. A lot of folks won't ever go to the hospital but they'll suffer respiratory problems long after this all blows over. My guess is that people should get something like this and monitor their O2 levels daily: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Finger-Pulse-Oximeter-Blood-Oxygen-SpO2-Monitor-PR-PI-Respiratory-Rate-FDA-CE/353076569203 |

Not all of the healthy people survive. I knew one who seemed to be in great shape and he died of it. It has become an issue in our town because he and another town council member were at a council meeting in person when they could have done it online. He came down with the virus and died. The other guy manages a grocery store and he ended up testing positive and had been going to work. People in town are furious with him and business in his store has dropped off to almost nothing. They are blaming him for the other guys death, assuming that he had passed it on at the meeting, and that he might have passed it on to his staff and customers. He eventually released a statement in which he claimed to have been contacted by public health and to tell him he had been in contact with someone who had it. He immediately self isolated and got tested and was told he had had it and was good to go back to work. > Many of the risky people are the main ones to get > flu shots each year.

I don't think it is hypochondria at all. If anything, the problem is the inconsistency of the information we we getting about symptoms and how to avoid it, whether to wear a mask or not. When there are so many unknowns and the consequences are so severe, you cannot be too careful. |

There's a coating soaked in oil or fat. The seasoning (and maybe the fat) was probably the issue. KFC is very strongly seasoned and back then it was cooked in lard (I'm pretty sure). The only food that will give me indigestion (several hours later) is eggs for some reason. Mild though and one swallow of baking soda mixed in water ends it immediately. |
