This past weekend I had a deep fried pickle for the first time.
And wasn't it amazing? It certainly was!!!!!!!!  Great. Now I want one, and I have no way of getting it...  I gather you're not in the US then?  I am. I'm in the South, even. I might not be looking hard enough... |

As soon I heard that mobile phones cause cancer I started carrying my phone in my bag rather than in my pants pocket. And yet, although I've always known that smoking causes lung cancer, I still smoke and dont really have any plans to quit.
I guess I'm just much more concerned about my balls than my lungs.

I'm actually from Knoxville and am going back there tomorrow. And, incidentally, I know exactly where the Quaker Steak is! |

Holy derailment batman!
I guess to lean to the original topics direction a bit I'll just say...
I never used my cell phone much anyway.
Long conversations always give me a headache.

It seems like every couple years a new report comes out about this. They've flip-flopped back and forth several times on whether phones cause cancer or not. At this point, who knows?
...or cares? None of us will live forever (in this world), no matter what we do. Having been a heavy cigarette smoker for almost 30 years (I quit 7-1/2 years ago), I'm at greater risk for lung or throat cancer than whatever kind cell phones might cause. Or I might get run over tomorrow on my daily bicycle commute (it's already happened once, but I got lucky and survived). I'm not going to lose any sleep over any of it. When God wants me, He'll take me. Disclaimer: None of this is directed at Walty -- his post was just a convenient springboard for mine... |
