Day 229 - Radiation #17: Cathodes

Not much to report today. Beth freaked me out today. She was setting me up on the machine and her hands were like ice cubes. She ran her hand down my arm sending shivers and squealing out loud laughing. At least I am having a good time with radiation.

Got home, took a nap, picked up the girls and took them for a walk in the woods with Emmy. It's a nice day outside. Now we are at home relaxing! :)

Fact #17 - Mom always said not to sit too close to the TV. There was a darn good reason... and it wasn't necessarily because it would ruin your eyes. In old TV sets there are cathode ray tubes, or CRTs. They emitted low doses of x-ray radiation. So prolonged sitting (and at a very close range) in front of the boob tube could be hazardous to your health. These TVs were the ones your parents and grandparents had. The LCD and plasma TVs are better.
