The fear of the day.
 
It seems that every day the media brings me something new to fear. For example, yesterdays fear was gas pipes in your home that can explode if your house is hit by lightning.

I thought it might help us all to talk about these fears so that we can deal with our emotions and comfort each other.

So with out further anxiety inducing delay I bring to you, the fear of the day:

Drug resistant staph might kill more people than aids.

Not surprised. With all the antibiotics and antibacterial stuff around these days the bugs and germs are constantly mutating and becoming stronger.

We're not helping ourselves by sanitizing our lives. What ever happened to the old adage "God made dirt, so dirt don't hurt"?

There has been a commercial I have been hearing for a comedy show that Bob Sagat will be a part of (BTW: don't judge Bob Sagat by America's Funniest Home Videos or Full House - he is actually a fairly funny, and raunchy, comedian).


The one teaser bit that they give of his is about a study that shows that people's number one fear is public speaking and the number two fear being death. Bob observes that at a funeral, people would rather be in the casket than the one giving the eulogy.

That's why I don't watch TV news anymore.
I also only check the online news twice. Once in the morning and once at night.

n recent years, the resistant germ has become more common in hospitals and it has been spreading through prisons, gyms and locker rooms, and in poor urban neighborhoods.
Note: stay away from above mentioned places.

Well, if you're not afraid you might not watch the news. The news will save us all.

Of course they give solutions to things that actually only affect about 6 households in the entire LA area but make everybody paranoid about them.

But.....it could happen to YOU!

alphabassettgrrl 10-16-2007 07:01 PM

You're right. It could.
