Agreed, but you can always sell them to pay for that gym……

I sat next to an old guy on the train once, it was a long journey and we got chatting. As we passed a work crew at the side of the line he went white and tensed up. He went on to tell me about his time as a train driver, the deaths, some from work crews, some suicides, and how much every death affected him until his nerves were shot to pieces and he had to give up the job he loved. It’s not just the person who gets hit, it’s the train driver, the witnesses, it ripples through so many lives…..

The sad fact is that when you do a job day in and day out you can get a bit blase, so films like this serve a purpose.

I know someone who is allergic to buttons and toothpaste. The buttons have to be loose, and lying about to cause her to have a reaction, they are ok if they are sewed on. The toothpaste, she gaggs while brushing her own teeth, and god help her if she has to watch someone else brushing their teeth.

I hate to be pedantic but those aren’t allergies, and I hate to see someone suffering with something unnecessarily. The button thing is an irrational fear or phobia and is not uncommon, and the toothbrushing thing is an overactive gag reflex, which people often exerience when they go to dentists. Both can be resolved with the help of a good hypnotherapist. I once worked with someone who had a more extreme version of the button thing, couldn’t bear to see buttons full stop. Her whole wardrobe was devoid of buttons, she couldn’t go on a date because the guy might weat a shirt with buttons on, and she was starting to skip work because people were wearing clothes with buttons. It was great to see her face when she came back to see me wearing a button-up skirt and a blouse with buttons, and to hear that she’s started dating and had a life back again.

Speaking of toothpaste, why is it that their is flouride in tap water and it’s “safe to drink” but for the amount of flouride in a glass of water that is in the amount you would use to brush your teeth…it says “do not swallow” on the toothpaste tube. Flouride is a by product of Phosphorus.

The fluoride is the least of your worries – what about the sodium laurel sulphate, also used in washing up liquids and cleaning products to remove grease, and a known carcinogenic?? Let alone all the other nasty chemicals…..

My allergies:

Sodium Laurel Sulphate! Used in a lot of shampoos and shower gels, it makes my skin go dry and flakey and red raw – not a pretty sight.

Bell peppers make my body go on a massive purge in any way it can for days and days – last time a friend “jazzed up” a meal with some peppers and I found out too late, I spent 5 days being ill, then got taken into hospital with dehydration cos my body wouldn’t even accept water… :evil:
