Oh no! I've spent too much time polishing the Airstream!

Airstreams are making us nuts!

Pass the mineral water, please, and make it quick! I can't stand any more losses!

The interior of modern Airstream are coated so we're not exposed to bare aluminum, which I assume is the culprit.

Is that why I drool when I see an Airstream? And it is going to get worse, you say? 35 years and counting. If my posts get bad, please delete. This might be the best one to start on.

I suppose it is even more of a risk when you smash your head against aluminum. I've done that so many times crawling out from under my trailer.

Those of us doing major renovations to aluminum trailers have dementia for sure!

The most important thing to remember is that... um. I'm sure I'll remember... Nevermind. Now where did I put that Nuvite?

I am just wondering....if I am living in my Airstream (I am) what the hell do I care about remembering anything....

Just kidding....(because some folks might take offense but then I would forget anyway...)

That explains a great deal about me.
What it explains, I can't remember...

Oooooohhhhh noooooo.....I've had black boogies when I blew my nose after polishing....I'm sure my brain is oxidized....Seriously, though, they've been saying that for years! My mother suffered from Alzheimer's..lived the cleanest, healthiest lifestyle of anyone I ever knew. She did have an aluminum pot roast pan, though......

At least I think they have disproven the idea that cooking in aluminum pots is a potential hazard.

Hope so anyway - I brew up my home-brewed beer in aluminum kettles.

I suppose if the aluminum doesn't do in the brain cells though, the booze might.

Hopefully it will leave me enough cells left to be going on with for the duration!

Just read a report that alcohol improves memory in older people.

J Morgan, sadly, no .................... it was not part of a joke. Someone got all crossed up about my attempted humor and got in my face big time. They took it very personal. Made me want to say "Forest, dying is just a part of living". No good, no bad, it is what it is.

Does anyone know how to get all that black ick of your hands? Ok folks. That was another attempt at levity. I meant no harm. Some may take it personal so I retract everything I have said. No chickens were harmed in the writing of this attempt at humor. No shiny things were made dull to placate the masses. Nothing about my post should be considered as an endorsement of the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. This is not an attempt to discredit any party or group. .........etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Too bad.

PC is a very bad thing,,,, but,,, seemingly,,, if the person who got in your face lives by the same rules he or she would see you abide by... Then really they need sensitivity training also right?

What is the word that describes a person who demands a person not do what they do?

Sorry Bob that we live in such a sensitive nation that even good natured humor is deemed offensive.

I used to do the hokey pokey, but I turned myself around.

No, no. You've got it all wrong. It's like Cliff's Buffalo Theory:

“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
