I'm always wanting to touch plants, but then I worry that I somehow might have a reaction. Then I think, What's the matter with you? What happened? When you were a kid, you wouldn't have hesitated. What's going to happen? So I started touching plants more. Now you post this.
Sorry, SeaOfGrass! I act as a warning, at least?
It really kinda hurts, too. I just wanted to fondle a plant! That's all! . I'm heading out into the beachy wilderness today. I'll let you know what else you should avoid. Hey, there's a shark. I'm going to pet it.
I drove all the way to work with my Connecticut Starbucks cup on my roof. Thankfully the Escape has a roof rack because I would have hated to lose another Starbucks mug! My New Jersey mug was broken in the earthquake and it was uninsured. Stupid earthquake.
I had breakfast in Dayton OH (right across the street from Ned Peppers where the mass shooting happened a few weeks ago but I digress), and then dinner in Tyler, TX. Air travel is amazing, especially considering that I've been reading a book about settling the west and OMG it took SO LONG to go anywhere! I mean, like you'd have to literally make a road - as in "cut down trees" in order to get anywhere. And here I was complaining about turbulence as I sat in a leather chair in relative comfort sipping on a glass of sparking water and trying to figure out what state we were flying over by looking at "landmarks." Not many of those visual clues between Ohio and Texas for the record.

Have you ever gone through your day, and think about each thing and what it would have been like 200-300 years ago?
I wouldn't have my temperpedic, I would have had to start a fire for my coffee, and used a pot instead of microwave for my oatmeal, heck, that oatmeal would have been in the fridge... 'cause no fridge! I would have no idea what was going on in the world 'cause no computers/internet. Etc.

YES, TOTALLY! I am sort of a history nerd so I am constantly thinking about this, along with "Would I shave under my arms? Not likely. Speaking of underarms...no deodorant. And if you want to take a bath, you have to haul the water in, heat it up and then fill up a bathtub...no wonder people didn't bathe that often. OH MY GOSH, WHAT ABOUT TEETH?"

I never would have survived.
There was a book I read.... what it was like in daily life during the Tudor era, OMG it was fascinating. She had some other similar books for different time frames.

I'm male, and don't have much body hair, so I don't think about shaving underarms. However, I do think a lot about the other things. The horse manure on the streets, the flies, the poor personal hygiene. Oh, the humanity!
As far as teeth, that's the only thing about the young that I envy. I still have all 32 teeth, but have several crowns, and enough fillings to make up a theater weight. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure my grandparents all had false teeth by the time they were my age (63).

To be honest, I looong for those old days. I mean waaay back... I'd love to live in a dirt/grass hut, bathe in a river, forage for food, tend to my chubby little baby, lol. Most of the stress and worries of this modern life are ridiculous! lol
I'd prefer physical stress over mental stress. 'Course, I might change my mind if I really had to go through it, right? lol

After 5 days of camping I tap out.
