I love all these warnings for the drug companies. Makes me want to take 3 of each and 4 of the others!

Yes - humans are stupid! That is why the stupid warnings.

Not all of us are recycled from the hippie era - we didn't dope our brain cells away.

Common sense is gone these days! Why think? There is a computer or electronic device that can do it for you. Cripe - cruise control will watch your speed for you. That will give you more time to text while driving (LOL!)

Everything is going wireless - freedom - total freedom - for what though?

You don't need to add or subtract - calculators will do it for you.

You don't need to access an encyclopedia or a dictionary anymore - the search engine in your computer will do it for you.

You don't need to make friends anymore. You can be anything or anyone you want on line - boost your own ego type thing!

You don't need to cook - add water or plop in the microwave.

You can vacuum or cut your lawn with one of those new-fangled little flying saucer looking things - it bumps into something and goes the other way. Entertain yourself by watching it.

Electronics are taking over our lives. You don't need to learn anything.

Why put man in space? What the hell are we going to do with Mars? We already "conquered" the moon - and what did we get out of it? Use the money to build sidewalks like the Jetsons enjoy! You won't have to walk anymore. Oh but wait - that would break the oil typcoons! Bad thought Mama! Exxon needs to make more money.

The richest person in the world will be the one that invents the machine to automatically wash and dry your hair and body, shave your body parts, brush your teeth for you, clip your nails and tend to all your body functions without you lifting a finger.

Welcome to the world of human droids - brains no longer need to work - we use 10% now - why use any of it! Save the brain - keep it new - don't use it!

Mama you are so comical and there is just that right mix of truth to it all, my favorite part was where you said "we already conquered the moon, and what did we get out of that?" I love astronomy and all scientific study and all such, but you sure got a heck of a good point with that one Mama!

The first time I actually saw an electronic lawn mower in a yard I was driving down the road and saw the gadget, I hit my brakes so hard I burned rubber, did a quick "U-ie" and pulled up in the guys yard got out and asked him a zillion questions about it (turns out he was a salesman for the things) and found out the price (gagged a little) and thanked him and left. My girl-friend that was riding with me still laughs to this day over that whole incident, she said all our stuff in the pick-up bed flew forward when I hit the brakes so suddenly, she thought it would all fly through the window!!! But hey I have an inquisitive mind, just not inquisitive enough to buy the National Inquirer though! LOL

Yes, Brook- but the real question I have is (and one I asked at another thread a short time back- can't remember which one, now) when Gwynn recovers and is feeling better, will she able able to play the piano?

We laugh, but when I was a kid I once saw a PIG play the PIANO at Dogpatch!
