I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Drank from the water hose, rode in cars without seat belts, all the adults smoked around me, only received 3 childhood vaccines. Ate junk food too. Attended high school keg parties. The list is long of the cancer causing heart attack inducing crap I did. It is a miracle that I lived this long. šŸ˜‰

And I would spray insecticide on my legs and arms to keep the biting flies off me in the summer! I’m still here at 62.

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ We kept 2 bottles of fly spray in the barn: one for the horses and one for us!

I was born right in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis, my anxious by nature mom awaiting the blinding flash of Armageddon right outside the hospital window.

As sure as I'm sitting here, she was chain-smoking Pall Malls all the way through. (Did they clean the ashtrays in the Delivery Rooms? Lol)

We made it, Mom. RIP

74 here. I still drink from the hose, as needed. Father smoked through every meal, and while shaving in a.m. ( so nicotine stains left on the porcelain sink).

And we rode in the back of a pick up truck with our dog.

Of course you’re ok. You resisted running with scissors.
