How did we Survive?

IS the reality, we have become a society of people afraid someone, who in all respects is a complete idiot, will sue us because they do not wish to admit that they are TOTALLY responsible for their own journey.
Like it or not, the only person on this planet that is responsible for you is YOU.

It is reported that God gave us free will, therefore we have the opportunity to make all the decisions that affect our lives, like it or not.

What brings this on, a simple birthday party for a friend.

A usual birthday gesture the obligatory BC, cake, with candles.

Not the 75 needed for true recognition but a token amount of 12.

Once the blowing out, the fan fare over, the loving wife of the Birthday Boy decided to look at the large amount of writing on the back of the candle packet.

Wow we all did not realise what a potentially dangerous product we had carelessly lit for the pleasure of blowing out.

Nearly half of the back of the Candle packet was taken up by the warning:

Apparently you have to follow some important procedures in the name of safety.

Candles can no longer be deemed out by the mere act of blowing.

It seems they need to be put in water, hopefully while not on the cake, or maybe we can start handing the Birthday person a glass or bucket of water for real safety and that is thrown over the cake.

You need to make sure the candle is completely extinguished when not in use.

There goes the thought of keeping it lit until it is next needed, I am sure that thought has crossed all our minds.

Do not put away for several minutes just in case of spontaneous combustion occurring, after the water episode.

Keep out of reach of children, I think with obesity rampant maybe that would be better printed on the cake.

Never leave a burning candle unattended, I hear they get lonely, or maybe just do not like to burn alone.

Do not place near flammable material, apparently it can catch a lite also, who would have thought that, lucky it is written down.

Candles and their plastic holders are apparently 2 separate, underlined and bold, pieces. Be sure to remove both, underlined and bold, from cake before serving.

Adult supervision is required.

This company sells a lot of other fun dangerous and life threatening party objects. I wonder how big is the safety section for Sparklers, and those most deadly of all objects Bubbles.

How did we survive InMyDay?

We did not have these insane instructions on everything, apparently lately a jar of Peanut Butter may contain nuts, so I need to be careful.

Look around read these incredible list of ingredients & instructions on all of our food, health related products & even inanimate products who can only hurt us if we impact on them in some way.

Just keeping us safe from ourselves.

But what gets me is pick up any cleaning product designed to destroy the nastiest of problems, and try find out what is the ingredients within these products.

I bet you they are more toxic and dangerous than say Peanut Butter.

I think we can trace back the start of this stupidity and the litigation it can cause, to one woman & the famous Cup of Coffee she purchased from McDonald’s in America, now don’t be too surprised, because she was.

Her cup of coffee was HOT and while driving away spilling some on her and it hurt.

I remember reading she got a lot of money for this superb act of stupidity, because McDonald’s had not written on the cup that the contents maybe hot.

I am sure I will be bringing you other really stupid examples in the future, but in the mean time, feel sad for the generation of idiots we must be breeding today that need all these warnings to survive, because InMyDay we somehow got by with very minimal warnings and even instructions on our products outer packaging.

PS I have a beautiful 18mth old granddaughter, who has the extremely large collection of toys. It seems to be a competition between manufacturers and Government Departments to see who can put on a single toy the most and biggest labels on a single toy.

WARNING: do not buy your young child a small toy because the labels are nearly larger than the toy.

Has anyone thought that the labels can be a hazard; I have not seen one with its own label decreeing its safety to fire, or warning of the choking hazard of the label if it becomes detached.

Until next time I know I must be very smart to have survived the turbulent times of www.inmyday-inmyday.blogspot.com/
