but, this is on my mind:
I have a lot of modern ailments.
I went to the eye doctor yesterday, and I have all of these little scratches on my left eye from contacts. lame lame lame.
I think I'm developing carpel tunnel again in my right wrist. I had it worse in high school when I typed so much on our old PCs.
allergies....
none of these things existed as much a few hundred years ago.
I read an..NYT (i think...?) article the other day about how filth is a GOOD thing...becuase if you're exposed to gross crap when you're young, your immune system gets built up and you can deal with those knids of things....in America, babies are kept so clean and safe from everything...which causes us to be sickly later in life.
boo.
