I think asthma is caused because the soccer moms are trying to raise their kids in environments as close as possible to complely sterile.

There's even a TV ad for some spray crap showing a mother sterilizing her sons bicycle handlebars!

What happened to the old saw about "eating a pound of dirt before you die"?

I'm on my second pound now. Drop food on the floor? Kiss it up to God and eat hearty.

complely = completely

FR should add an "edit" function.

No one wants dust mites and dust balls under beds. But there IS a reason these things are here. Preventing kids in the homes against "dust" is not doing them any favor when they go out into the real world which is FULL of air pollution!
