Anne! 22 newsgroups, with everything else you do, how can you
contribute to that lot!!!!!

I only read threads with intriguing titles! Honestly...if the title
doesn't inspire curiosity, I kill the thread... it's the only way to
cope, really! G

The group has been busy tonight, while I was busy with my family 'confab'?

Everything is set for next weekend... ;-) We'll be partying on Friday
Saturday and Sunday.... should be fun! G

Hence the saying "if you want something done, ask a busy person". ;-)

Sacha, I kid you not, I was applying ergonomics before I even knew
there was such a word, or what it meant... G

Errrrrrr.......you mean busy women? Juggling time, emotional output,
community involvement, patience? Somehow it all falls into place? Gottit.
I bet it was a man that gave it a name. ;-))

In what way does 'ergonomics' describe any of the above?

Time is something like a jigsaw puzzle, and everything slots in nicely, if
you get it right! The word was invented (I believe) in the 1950's, and as
you say, probably by a man...women were too busy getting everything done
to sit around inventing words to describe their endeavours! ;-)

It's a bit like those reports that say "studies have shown......." and then
go on to report as some scientific solemnity, a piece of knowledge the rest
of us have taken as common sense for years!

Like the recent re-discovery (again) that food additives are dangerous to
children's health (and probably to adults too).

I've also been saying to the Mrs for years that scientists will discover
that many of the chemicals we are exposed to are harmful and some cancer
causing - everything from cleaning products to air fresheners to
anti-deodorants to plastic food wrappings to washing powders/detergents etc.

I think the people of one hundred years hence will look back in horror at
some of the chemicals we deliberately expose ourselves to today. Back in the
Victorian era the original Radox bath salts contained radioactive salts -
which were thought to be good to bath in!

DDT

Creosote

Asbestos ...... When I was doing my Apprenticeship in Marine Electrical
Engineering, Asbestos was applied as a 'plaster' to the pipes etc in the
Boiler and Engine Rooms. We would have 'snowball fights' with handfuls of
the stuff!! I was recently contacted by an ex Apprentice of my era who now
lives in Australia and he has contracted Asbestosis :-(( 60 years later!

Like in the Woody Allen film set in the future (can't remember what it is
called) where they discovered that to be healthy you needed to smoke, drink
and eat lots of red meat and fatty foods :-) Not so sure about the
"orgasmatron" though :-)

Possibly not as far-fetched as the Scottish "survey" which claims that after
only 18 months of banning smoking in public places most of which it was
already banned in, the ill-health of the populace has decreased by 17% in
terms of chesty illnesses.

Anyone who actually believes that such a thing is even remotely possible
shouldn't really be allowed out, let alone to vote.
