this is worth saying again

May 5, 2020

I’m not a doctor nor a scientist. I can read… and this pertains to everyone else that can also read. That, my friends, is a preface for my opinion that if you’re not a doctor or scientist you shouldn’t be encouraging others to do anything that might even REMOTELY have a negative effect on their health.

Social media is a great stage. Every single time I see someone tell others they should disregard COVID-19 warnings, my blood boils.

  • Would I let an auto mechanic tell me I didn’t need the insulin my doctor prescribed if I had diabetes? Ummm… no!
  • Would YOU listen to an accountant if they said you should run 5 miles every day if your cardiologist told you not to? Of course not!

Still, give people social media to read and they do listen if they like or respect the person sharing — and if the posts contain enough partial facts and distorted data that support what they want to believe already. ARG!

Dharma and Merida are of the opinion that most humans (not me, obviously) are gullible and dogs should rule the world. Some days, I almost agree with them.

Merida and Dharma think humans are stupid.

And because I’m talking about spreading poop…

TIL (today I learned): The CIA had an instructions manual for U2 spy plane pilots describing what they could eat so that didn’t had the urge to poop while on mission. (Missions often spanned about 9 hours.) The planes had no means of disposing the fecal matter. Read the article here…

Merida – 0. The girl didn’t destroy one thing today.

She zoomied around the house and ran into furniture and even knocked Dharma down once — but she hasn’t destroyed anything for approximately 24-hours now. Peep her below hiding while looking all innocent. 🙂
