My thoughts as well. There are so many wives tales about this in all parts of the globe. While its true freezing temperatures do harm and can kill- cold air should not make one sick, throw up, etc.

It is common in parts of Asia, that if you leave the window open the person can get ill. lol

You can get in trouble, if you leave the door open too long in the winter, and God help you if someone starts to sneeze because you will be blamed! ( I have before )

Why did the Creator make snow? And how would eskimoes survive? What about all the land which is constantly cold and full of people?

Great post! Thanks

I love my morning walks on the beach. It was 45 degrees this morning and i went for a nice walk on the beach, barefoot of course, in shorts.. The water was about 55-60 degrees but was fantastic to walk in and let it go up to my knees. My wife on the other hand is not so fond of the sand getting in the house!

Anyway,, blew my oj fast again last night,, seems i can never make it more than about 20 hours..

After an outdoor snow swim the other night, yes outdoor, 75 degree outdoor pool water, 10 degrees air temps and 3 foot snow drifts surrounding the pool. Fellow snow swimmer and I went to eat, (I wanted an avacado taco) at a local mexican joint.
Upon entering the eatery the waitress was spraying Windex on the windows above the food, Windex was dripping down into the chips and salsa on tables. then another waitress was spraying counter top cleaner in between the customer food plates ready to be delivered to tables, she was spraying THE FOOD with counter cleaner trying to clean the countertop in between the food, then she sprayed counter top cleaner on the chairs and onto a table of mexican men who were EATING,they got so annoyed by this they pushed thier plates away and left. I figured I would overlook the windex and counter top cleaner in food and went to bathroom. As I passed the kitchen I saw another waitress SHAKING OUT FLOOR RUG RUNNERS IN THE KITCHEN, shaking the floor runners out in the cooks kitchen above the open trays of chopped onions,chopped tomatoes, lettuce and vats of soup!!!! I passed by two mopbuckets of black water and saw a guy sloshing the black water all over the floors in the bathroom and hall, I skipped bathroom visit. When I went back to table,the waitress was shaking out 2 more floor rug runners INSIDE THE RESTAURANT all over the food station, plates waiting to go to tables, counter tops, grill area and customer tables, a few customers coughed and shielded thier faces and three more people left because a rug was being shaken out over thier table. All I could figure is it was cold out so the girls shook the floor mats out INSIDE of the restaurant and kitchen, because it would have been too cold to go outside and shake the floor mats out outside.
I lost my appetite for an avacado taco, and my friend had seen more windex spraying and rug shaking onto food while I was watching the rug cleaning over the food in the kitchen, so we left. I asked the girl waitress, "WHO, owns this place?" and she said, it was a chain of restaurants, she did not know the owners, and that they only paid her minimum wage. When I got home, I had oj and then made reishi mushroom tea. A better choice.
I am cured of my desire to eat restaurant food! Next time I will buy an avacado, a tomato, cilantro etc at Whole Foods and make it myself if I crave avacado.
Food makes people sick. Restaurant food can make you even sicker. I do not want to even think of what goes on in the food kitchens of larger food chain restaurants.
Caveat Emptor.

I think that is so funny. I 'm realizing more and more that cold weather is good for the body. I personally beleive that peaople "catch the flu" around this time of year is due to the cold BUT it is not a sickness.It seems this time every year our body says, "Its time to eliminate the residual crap you ate all year long". The could weather must jump start this cleaning process. Just my opinion.
