HAVE BEEN DOING OTHER THINGS



I just realized that it has been over a week since I turned on the computer.   I must have been doing other things, but I can't think of anything that I accomplished.  

 I have been wondering and meaning to ask the question:  Do you remember toothpaste tubes before plastic?   Were they lead?  

 I remember rolling those tubes up from the bottom - and they stayed rolled - perhaps lead ingesting is why I wonder about such things.

 I'm just saying

    Yeah, they were some kind of foil material -- I remember them too!

    I remember that and if it was lead it would sure explain a lot. I'll have to do some research.

    Lead, which was mixed with other metal, was no longer used after the outbreak of WWII. http://www.intelligentdental.com/2011/09/18/about-toothpaste-tubes-made-of-metal/

    I remember them but never gave any thought to what they were made of.

    Sometimes I think if we had our livers biopsied for heavy metals, we would die from the shock of what we have accumulated.
