Re: Gypsum, Rattlesnakes & Dog Bites - Oh My!

[Guest guest]

Wasn't my intention to suggest that mold will eat fiberglass, or that it

actually eats gypsum. My only contention is that if you don't want mold growing

in your house, then don't keep building it right in and expecting bad things not

to happen. How many cliched old sayings can we throw at this one? (Just

clarifying. I wouldn't presume to argue the facts of the thing with you. I know

you know this subject far better than I do.)

It's amazing how easy to apply magical thinking to " invisible " substances and

grow a super-secret priesthood around it. Kind of ironic, really. Historically,

the priests and witchdoctors have tried to convince people of the existence of

invisible bad monster things and evil forces only they know the truth of things.

This time, they're trying to tell us the evil monster _doesn't_ exist, and

they're really the good guys in the white hats, and only they know the truth of

things. Same old story, but with a little twist. I give 'em a C for creativity,

anyway.

Bummer about the dog bite. I'd be willing to bet your adrenal glands didn't

draw the line at whether or not the skin was punctured! Nooo fun. No fun, atall.

Was the dog ashamed of its professional conduct when it was informed it had

failed to officially bite anyone? 8 P

Serena,

Great statement about the magical thinking - with a twist.

Sounds like a Bond drink. Is that shaken but not stirred?

I doubt the dog was ashamed but he should have been!

Yup. That's a bad dog. Where's the work ethic? Where's the pride in a job well

done?

I guess there's no official medical designation for " gnaw " .

I think we'd all be a lot happier with the High Priesthood if we'd just settle

down and act like the illiterate unwashed masses they apparently think we are.

They sure don't like it when you challenge their authority. (Next time you

encounter any of them, try picturing them with funny hats and animal skin

loincloths, doing their sacred factual sidestep dance and muttering chlorox

voodoo spells. Quite amusing. But don't laugh out loud. They're kind of

irritable.)
