Why are boogers salty? My worst booger experience was having to scrape an ex's off the shower wall. Ugh. I've never told this story to anyone. Who would really want to hear this? I heard him blowing his nose while he was in the shower. I was trying to ignore it. Then one day I was looking in the shower stall, and I saw this reddish-grey thing on the wall. It was his dried up booger. I did my best to scrape it off. So with this past weekend and no time to think, I had no time to mourn, either. My mom called me Friday evening to tell me know that Great Uncle #5 passed away (in Hong Kong). *sigh* I have relatives that I don't know the name of because everyone is just called by their birth order in that family. Anyway Great Uncle #5 lived a long life. He died of lung cancer at 92. It wasn't looking promising that he'd live til the Chinese New year. I am glad I spoke with him on the phone a couple of weekends ago. He was still very mentally alert; I'm sure his body just shut down eventually. He was still smoking 'til the end, but since he was too weak to hold his own cigarettes, someone else had to do it for him. :lol: When I was a kid, and I was getting all that "Smoking is bad for you" stuff in school, I was so anti-smoking. I drew pictures of people dying from smoking, in hopes that Great Uncle #5 would quit. He used to give me watches. I thought he owned a watch factory. He's given me gold, too. He used run a club that catered to men. There were lots of hostesses around to keep them company. He always stressed good health. "Rosie, the most important thing in life is good health. Make sure to exercise and get fresh air." He said the clean air over here was so great that he didn't even need his cane to walk. My cousins and I loved being around him when we were kids. He had this really big flat mole by his right ear, and we'd always make fun of it and stare, but he didn't mind. :lol: I think he got it shrunken at some point. He loved the Chinese economy. He was always nicely dressed. *sigh* I am going to miss him. |
