Know what else will kill you? Anxiety.
Relax. Have a drink. It may kill you too.
We all have to die at some point. Life - Not one of us will get out of it alive. Cheers!

To steal someone elses wisdom, there is no way I am going to come out of this alive and when I'm on the slab, I want them to look at me and say, "Wow! He must have had a good time!" This reminds me of the saying "A good friend will bail you out of jail. A great friend will be sitting there next to you saying 'Man, that was fun!'" Yes! This too!

Oh, I don't know. In the shooting sports hobby, I've probably poured a couple tons of lead down the bores of the firearms over ... say 40+ years. Since I was a kid anyway. Breathed the airborne residue from the "gun smoke." Handled lead bullets, cast my own lead bullets, hand loaded lead bullets and shot while eating and drinking at the loading bench, cleaned bores of guns after shooting lead bullets getting lead-laced cleaning solvents all over my hands plus breathing the solvents' vapors. Once accidentally swallowed a lead .177 pellet when I was 12 years old.
It ain't hurt me yet. Of course there's this prehensile tail that has formed at the base of my spine over the past few years ...

::eye roll emo:: If CYM is really as portrayed...I'm sure he would not last 5 minutes around me because: 1) He'd die at the mere thought of the dogs/horses/cats/dust bunnies/furballs/etc around me, or 2) I'd run over him with my 4 wheeler to put him me out of his my misery. Fixed

By the way, one thing has become increasingly clear as we go on: Yes, everything wants us dead – even some health foods and sometimes the safer alternatives to known toxic substances. Yes, drinking water from one’s own hands would appear to be the only solution, and only from a clear stream and only upstream from all settlements…so that’s not much of an option. Yes, cooking food destroys many of its nutrients, but eating raw meat is a known deadly killer, so what can you do? Cow’s milk, another a deadly killer. It’s common replacement: soy milk, also a deadly killer. The world is full of things that want to destroy our bodies. But I don’t think that means that our only choice is to give up, decide to ignore it all, and leave it for future generations to clean up. Tiny steps are all I can do. For instance, I don’t buy gum anymore. I love gum. But I won’t chew it now that I know what it’s really made of. From my perspective, that doesn’t demonstrate paranoia, but rather, good common sense. Hopefully my decision will affect my kids’ decisions, and on down through the successive generations. In my case, I may be a little unique - I have maybe 100 decisions like the one I made about gum. And you're going to get the privilege of hearing about ALL OF THEM.

"only from a clear stream"
A clear stream (of water) usually means that there is to much pollution to support marine life.

^^ This is an easy one to avoid. Shouldn't spend 2 seconds contemplating it's ability to kill you...unless you're a compliance officer by day and SeaWorld trainer by night. True, and I usually wouldn't think about it much, but I went to one of these live shows recently. Have kids who want to go to things like this. Am conflicted about taking them to such things ever again, because I don't want them to think these places are okay ways to treat these animals.
