random facts the boring edition

Antibiotics are heavily over prescribed. Among other things, the people who are taking them, some of them may be inadvertant breeding grounds for super strains of antibiotic resistant viruses! scary

Im surprised there isnt a running photoshop meme of the beebs

 

I never realised how expensive train travel was!

 

I'd love to travel somewhere by train...

21f and lightly snowing here...

 

The only time I have been on a train was during a high school trip to Europe. We went from Italy to Switzerland by train.

When I was a little kid my Mom's aunt used to visit us by train. It was always exciting to go to the station to pick her up. Then again I was a kid. Lots of things were exciting.

 

thats so funny, this big country with trains everywhere...especially in NY. and you never took a train until you went to neighboring countries in Europe.

 

Snot SO strange,pen. I've flown all over the world-but I have never been in an aircraft with proper seats and windows. Usually exiting via the ramp at several thousand feet,admittedly-but still,I've never been in a comfy,warm,pressurised aircraft with hot-&-cold running stewardesses and a bar,etc.

 

I've never been on a airplane, but I had a helicopter ride when I was a teenager...

 

I have never lived with near access to passenger trains. Still don't.

 

Me neither. I think it would be pretty cool though.

 

And here i thought they were everywhere...they are in nj at least. Live near a station now but its cargo only.

 

Recently my son and some people he knew drove to Monck's Corner (near Charleston, SC) where there was a train that took them from there to Miami, FLA - to watch the Clemson Tigers WIN a bowl game! LOVE Clemson Tigers!

Anyway, I asked about the train since I've never been on one and was/am very curious. It seemed to almost cause him physical pain to answer my train questions.

The 1st question was alright, in that there was no grimace. As I asked more, and he got "worse" (hard to describe) I even found myself asking him if he thought I needed to take him to the hospital since he seemed freaking overwhelmed with pain. He said, "No, I'll be alright soon after you quit interrogating me about riding on a train." lol

 

What could you possibly not know about trains? Its not some new fangled tech. Just watch a movie with trains in it....they all look basicaly the same. Anything technical i bet google could help you with rather than giving your boy an anuerism

 

:rofl:

But I wanted real info...not movie info. Like: how big were the seats really, would a great big fat person fit in one, how many people did the individual cars sit, were there LOTS of cars or just 1 or 2 big ones, was each person assigned a seat or is it like THE MOVIES where people just seem to sit where they want, did you go over any gullies or high places, and those were just the 1st few questions.

 

Lol i can see why he would be exhausted with that....they are understandable questions so im not laughing at that. Some things you just have to find out on your own.

 

That bolded part is something he literally has said. lol

Even though he knows what I consider "lots of stuff", he almost adamantly wants me to "Figure it out, Mom", "work with it, you can find this out/do whatever without my help". gad

My son likes to talk about what HE wants to talk about, which is fine with me. I'm adaptable, but dang sometimes I just want answers to foolish things without feeling like I'm begging for an answer from the king as he at me, or seems to be enduring torture. :ack2:

grown man/boy...what can you do but post about it, laugh and love him. :sunny:

 

It's snowing hard here.

 

Just back from working a week in Flagstaff.

Snowed most of the week (flurries).

By the end of the week I'd bought a 100 bucks worth of cold weather clothes. Just in time because there was another 4 inches of snow friday morning. I even got my first ice scraper for my windshield, and it has a snow brush on it too.

Still need boots though..:freezing:

I'm getting used to working in the snow now. At least it's only inches of snow and not feet.

My truck looks like it was pulled out of a dirty river, lol.
