Yeah… it’s kind of like the self-defense advice they give. “Don’t walk alone. Avoid bad neighborhoods. Don’t walk after dark.” Without becoming a social recluse, it’s hard not to break those rules. So, instead, you do the best you can and then you learn to deal with the rest.

I find myself wary of those ‘precautions.’ Sure, keep clean, good advice.

‘Don’t get fatigued’ or ‘don’t get chilled?’ Are those really things you can control. The ‘avoid new group’ thing, while probably prudent, not exactly the best message to send to kids.

Now if we could just stop Jenny McCarthy, we might finally get rid of it.
