My TV isn't as loud as it used to be.....

I sure hope it's about to break. Otherwise, the only other possible reason for the volume to be so low is that my hearing isn't what it used to be. And I know that can't be right.
My hearing is as acute as it was twenty - no, thirty - years ago. Ok, I've said it. It must be so.
All kidding aside, my health is great and I find it hard to believe I am the actual age that I am. But part of that is because I take responsibility for my health. I read, I research, I question.
One thing I don't do is sue my neighbor.
Huh? What does suing have to do with my health?
Maybe nothing, it's just my circular way of finding a way to gripe about the people who have decided to sue the young man with TB who flew across the Atlantic on a commercial jet a few months ago. Today I read that several of his co-passengers have filed suit for damages. PULEESE! Can we not find better things to do? In fact, taking this idiocy further, the room-Mate of one of the passeengers is also suing. He wasn't even on the plane.
Mind you, none of these people have come down with TB yet. Even if they test positive now, who's to say that they contracted it on that plane from that person?
I grant you, that was not the best thing that man could have done. I would probably be pretty steamed at him, too, if I found out I had sat next to him for those many hours. But his disease is now treatable since they have decided he didn't have the really bad strain, after all. I worked on a TB floor as a nursing student. My TB test went from negative to positive while I was a student. I was treated as a precaution but never came down with TB and my test is in fact negative now.
Did I sue the hospital? No, and I worked on that floor for days on end, several weeks in a row. It was just part of my training. My risk was far higher than a casual seatmate.
You just have to shake your head.
