https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nucSvl7VXVM Well, considering I'm now officially a "senior" (i.e. old fart), have a family history of dimentia, and may have mad cow disease, I thought 99% was pretty good. ~Sue~ |

Why do you think you have mad cow disease? |

Why do you think you have mad cow disease? The Red Cross won't let me donate blood because I was stationed in Europe (Germany) during a certain timeframe when mad cow was a threat. I thought it would be more fun to have mad cow disease than dementia, so I'm going with mad cow. And I said that I may have mad cow disease. I don't actually think I have it. Incidentally, people with some incurable STDs can donate blood, but not completely healthy people who may have been exposed to mad cows. ~Sue~ |

Why do you think you have mad cow disease? Can you post the link where it posted that? I have not seen anything about this on any German News link. Oh and where were you stationed? Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Why do you think you have mad cow disease? As I recall, it was in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The missile boat I rode from 1979-1982 operated out of Holy Loch, Scotland, but I was just outside the timeframe and didn't come in contact with livestock, so I can donate.

Thanks Donald. I went home during that time, but they never slapped me with that label, evenso we ran a farm. Well Dude Ranch/Ridding Club. Not sure if we had a pig at the time. Just Horses, Chickens, and maybe a duck or two. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Why do you think you have mad cow disease? I was stationed at Augsburg in late 1973, then up on the E/W German border (when there was one) from '73-'75, then In the Kaiserslautern area '76-'78, and again '81-'84, and finally in the Würzburg area from '89-'92. I think the last one is the only one that counts, iirc. I'll have to go look for a link. I suspect there should be something about it on the Red Cross site. ~Sue~ |

It's not about coming in contact with livestock. It's about eating meat. You can get "mad cow" from eating the beef of an infected cow. ~Sue~ |

Stay away from that half a roast beef sandwich! You don't want to get mad cow disease!!! |

I know that Suzie. but not the question they asked you in the Air. I have eaten plenty of raw meat in my youth. Now I want everything well done tho.

Only if these are European raccoons. Could be... I've read that raccoons were imported to Germany a few decades ago to be farmed for their pelts. Turned out not to be a lucrative endeavor and the raccoons were set free. Now they are an invasive exotic wreaking havoc in a country where they most certainly did not evolve. I have also read that Japan has a raccoon problem as well. Because raccoons look so darn cute, they were imported to Japan as potential pets. Raccoons make really lousy indoor pets. Enough failed pets were loosed into "the wild" that now there are breeding populations on several of the Japanese islands. The raccoons are destroying ancient Japanese wooden temples that are important historic and cultural icons. Much as I love my "little woodland friends", they can be terrible and destructive little pests and they really should not be imported out of North America. |
