Re: Bug Spray Truck

[Guest guest]

Elisa,

When we were kids in the early 70's we could not wait for the bug spray truck to

come down the road every year. We use to follow it on our bikes for blocks in

the cloud of smoke. Which I guess now was pestiside for Misquito's and Gypse

moths.

suppose), and Dad's hobby of fixing old AM tube radios meant that we had mercury

to play with. And we did. And who would have thought that hot wax would have

harmed you. You know, I have actually thought of candle-making as something to

do after my PF diagnosis. Doesn't sound like a good idea, from your experience.

Hope you don't give up painting.

When I think of all the possible causes for PF that I may have been exposed to, it would truly be amazing if I hadn't come down with PF. Yes dave and Elisa and , I was after that mosquito truck like a country dog after a loud car. Other than the snow cone truck, it was really something to look forward to.

As kids we wallowed in stuff nobody knew was bad for us, I used to play with fiberglass insulation for heavens sake. As a young adult I lived right next door to a cotton filed that was sprayed with defoliant (very agent orangeish stuff) every October. Many of you from the south I'm sure never even thought of it except it smelled. Hell cigarettes were probably GOOD for us considering LOLDyane,

54, Phoenix, IIP 02 now NSIP 09, Breast Cancer, Psoriasis,

Lipodermatosclerosis, Diabetes, and now a RA like autoimmune component,

yadda yadda yadda."Life is not a journey to the grave with

intentions of arriving is a pretty, well-preserved body, but rather to

skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, chocolate in

one hand, Margaritas in the other, loudly proclaiming "Holy **** What a

ride!"."> > > > I did the same thing Jerry.........DDT was fun to play in> > > > > > > > <FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#40007f size=3> Soulliere & nbsp; <IMG src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/50.gif"></FONT>> > > > > > From: Jerry Brown jerryb888@> > To: Breathe-Support > > Sent: Fri, December 11, 2009 6:40:33 PM> > Subject: Re: Re: Popcorn Lung> > > > > > If we could only live our lives with hindsight.
