like me. I tell kids in their 20's to take care of themselves as they may live comfortably into their 120's the way medical science is progressing.

As a boomer I remember getting shots in elementary where everyone was given the shot with the same needle. One after another. When the syringe was empty they would refill it and continue.

I remember being taken around to faith healers and having exorcisms to cast out the demons I had. Now it is called HFA, Autism or Aspergers.

I remember for my asthma the doc giving me a shot of something new called Cortisone. I was made for horses. It knocked me to the floor and laid there for awhile. I was still in elementary.

Science is good.
