    I've been particularly careful to minimize my exposure. Gloves and P100 respirators every time I've used anything with chemicals in it. I can still smell a fresh open can of 3m filler from 20 feet away.

    I don't even have paint thinner in my stall like my coworkers. I wear 3m ear muffs when any loud noise in the shop is being made.

    At 45, I'm not sure how much I've been hurt by it. My memory not being what it used to be is probably a combination of both chemicals and age.

    Most of my co-workers over the years have been smokers for some godawful reason. One of them would smoke while he sanded filler. I said he was crazy and he said in his scratchy voice "ahhh, these cigs are filtered"

    C'mon man, that doesn't matter, you know that...who quoted who and when is irrelevant because after all, to use your blanket reasoning, "that's the way things work around here".

    Perhaps, I don't know...you're a very intelligent fellow, that much is clear. I just wish you could be a little less myopic sometimes.

    Holy cow, I wasn't going to say anything for two reasons:
    1. I figure he was just making a point and pretty much knew that China's population was just a bit more than India's 1.2 Billion;
    2. Rather than embarrass him I thought I'd just let it go.

    I think @TorturedBlazerFan replied tactfully.

    And I had a good laugh at the same time.

    I didn't have any problem with TBF's reply, mainly because well, he was right.

    I think we've all meant one thing but typed something different...as I've already pointed out, I knew full well what China's population is and I have no idea why I posted "3.5"...and I certainly did not think it was a big deal and neither did TBF...he simply pointed out my faux pas
    .
    And neither did I know that it would turn into a shit storm that resulted in 2 members being given "time outs"...If I had known beforehand how things would end up I would not have posted at all.

    Cup and bodyman are both solid posters...but unfortunately both are also "opposite sides of the same coin".

    This just in: The United States is officially a 3rd world shit hole country. How is that really expensive health care system you guys all said was the best in the world? But yeah, healthcare for all is bad.
