Some Questions I've Pondered Lately".

Why is it that so many things that taste so good  are "bad" for us?

Who had the nerve to take the first "selfie"? And who thought it was a good idea?  What ever happened to folks taking pictures of each other - from a bit of a distance?  Nostrils and bags under the eyes really aren't my most attractive features.

Who was the first person to think an oyster was edible?  Those slimy globules are the least appetizing-looking things God ever made...and people eat them!

When did celebrities and the Hollywood-types become so darn important?  Many probably couldn't hold a job anywhere else.

Why do boys' bikes have that bar across 'em?  Shouldn't it be the girls' that have 'em?  Or why have 'em at all?  Unless it's just so you can tell the difference between a girl's bike and a boy's bike, but it seems unsafe either way.

Will we ever run out of websites, email addresses, passwords?  Think of all the passwords you have, or that you've changed...Now multiply that by how many people use computers.

Why is it oldsters drive too slow and youngsters drive too fast?  Wouldn't you think we old-timers, who have fewer years ahead of us, would speed up a bit to get it all in, and the kids, who have many years ahead, would slow down and enjoy the ride?

Has it hit anyone else that, after all the expense of buying big screen TVs,   more and more people are watching movies and shows on laptop computers and little phone screens?

Why am I still getting so many phone calls from businesses and organizations when I'm on the "Do Not Call" list?

Who ever decided Christmas should be celebrated in December?  Wouldn't be as nostalgic, I grant you, but summertime would be nice shopping weather.

Where did the "pioneers" get the courage and stamina to "Go West", encountering mountains, rivers and God knows what else?  I have to think twice about driving all the way to Fairfield, 5 miles away, so I would've been left behind for sure!

If anyone has the answer to these queries, I'd love to hear 'em!
