Sounds like an age mix-up at the doctors side....LOL TBC was rampant between the two world wars. After that we got an handle on it in the Western world. I don't think it ever totally disapeared though in the third world countries. Just like we see in Africa right now with AIDS, it is a lack of funds, most of the time in the poorer countries. Makes it hard to catch up with us health wise.

Els

You mean the one that "went out on a chilly night"? ....that is if you catch him first.....LOL

Els

Not everyone, and not on a regular basis. as far as I know. But I do think when you are in a situation where you may come in contact with TB, and maybe, I think AIDS Patiens, or when you come in to Canada from somewhere where there are know cases of TB you do get screened. Off and on there is talk about TBC on the news and in the news papers.

Els

Pouncing on you.....LOL we would not dare, right guys...LOL

Els

That must be the fox that went out on a chilly night......I do love that song, sorry Lee, I hope he is not getting anymore of your chickens. Are you sure that it is a fox, and not a racoon, rat or a ferret. My brother gave up on having chickens, he lost more than he got eggs.

Els

OK lets see what TTFN stands for Tanning Training For Nothing if I catch the fox......LOL

Els

Glad he is good with your son. But tell him to get some facts straight.

Katherine

Actually, Lee might catch him for me. I love that story/song.

Katherine

Sure, we wouldn't!

Katherine

It is Ta Ta For Now.

Katherine

Is that the song with a refrain like:

He didn't mind the "quack, quack, quack" And the legs all dangling down -o.

Now that would have been a scare. I really don't remember that I was scared at the time. I know that I felt awful. Hope your friend is completely healed. Carol in TN

Does Kandace have that book. I must hunt around and see if I can get it for her birthday...coming up in a couple of months right......

Els

OK I have to start an agcronim file.....(spelling please) my dizzy brain will not store these letters....Ah I hear from Jane and Jan....clear your cache and it will lodge on, like a charm.....LOL

Els

That is one version, Helen. Like most folk songs, there are several.

Katherine

You know, I don't think she does. BTW, we re-read Sophie's Masterpiece last night. Wonderful little book! She said that she was too tired for a chapter of her latest Lemony Snickett book, so I suggested Sophie. It went over well, as usual. Yes, her birthday is on July 29th.

Katherine

Acronym. That is an old one, which my mother used to use.

Katherine

Sophie's Materpiece is a great book, It is so nice, the kids want to have books read over and over. I just bought a book I used to read to all three kids. Bears on hemlock mountain....When I phoned Dennis today, he is now 46, he knew instandly what book I was talking about. Now we can we read it to Skye and Aysia.
