I had a set of these in my closet going up to my attic from my bedroom and I did fall down those stairs and barely missed hitting my head on a huge nail that was on the inside of the door that you could see when you were going down the stairs like I would have died if that happened.. it was bad enough that on my way down I broke an entire wood stair with my body in half. It hurt really bad. I fell down some carpeted stairs once too in my next house that were full size stairs but that's a day when I think I might have had a mini-stroke Kitty other medical event and it was really scary and had nothing to do with the stairs at all and everything to do with something going on in my body at that moment. I didn't just fall on the stairs I fell probably 40 times on and getting to the stairs from my room, and down them and to the front door; just getting to the front door where the mailman was was a nightmare. My landing spot was outside in the front yard after falling into bushes outside my front door and everything. I do have to say, that mailman was a piece of junk person, because he didn't even ask me if I was ok. And anyone with half a brain would have noticed that someone doing that Continental falling and being very upset and crying over it probably wasn't okay and probably needed medical attention. Or maybe I have MS or something like that as it's in some females in my family. But yeah those stairs sucked!!

I actually had one of those spinal abscesses they talk about around 15:00. Mine unfortunately did reach the spinal cord and caused paralysis, but fortunately did not kill me. Of course, I was fortunate to live in the age of modern medicine so they were able to remove the abscess in surgery and after a month of rehabilitation I was able to walk again with a walker. Within another month, a cane. Within a few more months with no support. I still don't have everything I used to and never will, but I am very thankful to God for what I have. Most who get what I had are not so fortunate, and I was told it has a 25% mortality rate.

3:30 - I heard of an old Chinese fairytale about this. In which a rich but cheap farmer requests wine for his birthday from his three sons. He has a big barrel in which each of his sons can pour their gift of wine. However, each of the sons thinks that it will be cheaper to pour water instead of wine, after all, one small jar of water will not matter much when added to the two jars of real wine, right? And when the farmer saw the barrel was not completely full, he filled it up with a bit of water. After all, what difference would that little bit of water do to the three jars of real wine? And when they raised their glass in celebration, all four of them tasted only water but dared not to say anything lest they have to reveal their deceit. Thus they praised the drink for being quite a good wine...
@MsWinterlife
@MsWinterlife Рік тому
The farmer would’ve asked for spirits, not wine. Wine was considered a cooking ingredient (as you can find on the shelves of any Asian grocery store even now), while hard liquor distilled from sourgum or other grains are highly priced celebratory drinks. People in some regions would seal a jug of spirit when a daughter is born, and keep that jug sealed and buried underground for safe keeping until her wedding day, and open it at the wedding banquet for the celebration. It is also much easier to adulterate spirits with water because both are colourless.

Yeah, because having your customers dying in droves is SO good for business! What an ignorant statement. Companies don't intentionally create bad publicity for themselves because in a free market economy the consumers will choose another brand. Regulations are barriers to entry into a given market. They reduce the number of players in the market thus leading to fewer choices for consumers and even to monopolies. When consumers have no choice - as with anything the government provides- then the providers are free to make inferior and dangerous products. Regulation does little to nothing to make products safer. It just makes them more expensive.

@@renegadetenor absurd comment. Google what happened in the days before vaccines. People would’ve given anything to stop common lethal diseases. Google what happened when the polio vaccine was released - people lined up IMMEDIATELY for it. Know why? Because they’d seen pain and disability and death by disease for generations without any chance of stemming the tide and increasing their chances of survival. Google what happened with small pox. In the 1700’s in America, they didn’t have vaccines. They had “inoculations”. Aka they cut your skin and infected you with small pox and then hoped you survived. If you did? You had just been vaccinated against the disease. Ben Franklin didn’t get his son inoculated and he ended up contracting the illness fully and died as a result. Even way back in the 1700’s, when THAT was your form of protection, Ben Franklin said he’d wished he had done it because his son would’ve had a chance to survive. We have a century of science showing how lucky we’ve been to eradicate disease via vaccines. Know who would’ve given anything for a vaccine during a pandemic? Literally every other generation that ever existed and was virtually wiped out by pandemics. Ask people who contracted the Spanish flu during the last major pandemic if they’d have preferred chancing it or taking the damn vaccine. I’d put money on them lining up for the damn shot, too, instead of being so obtuse they’d choose certain death over preventing their own demise and that of their loved ones. What a privileged and ignorant notion that vaccines aren’t a goddamn miracle.

Mesothelioma has taken many from my loved ones. I worked with a hairdresser when I was in my youth that lost her husband, then she passed, and all 4 children eventually died from this cancer. Recently I lost my spiritual dad from the same cancer. So sad that it is still impacting so many to the use of asbestos. Many of the older homes I'm sure had this, and I used to live with them a few years. The home is no longer there...part of the redevelopment of an older community of Nashville, West Nashville (the Nations) is slowly being destroyed and turned into the generic subdivisions common here. So sad really. I don't go there anymore...too heartbreaking for me. I don't do change well! Gentrification my arse. My Grannie was a hairdresser and I remember her electric permanent wave machine! By the time I was born in the early 1960's it was no longer used, but she did give me a personal demonstration without chemicals or electricity of course. It was horrible! And she still had the old curling irons too. I recall having a friend in Little Rock in the 1980's, that had her own black beauty shop and they still used the irons that were heated then used to straighten and curl their client's hair! I wonder if that is still a thing for the African American beauty shops?

I think her arm was almost broken, but not mangled. I also wanted to add that a black man named Lewis Howard Latimer discovered the filaments for electric light and Edison took from those discoveries and went on to light homes.

It has never stopped or changed. Just one example is children's playthings, play grounds and the things we did our parents wouldn't have thought twice about. Just in the 50 years I've been alive. I grew up in the middle of nowhere in Alaska, moved to a small city, then to Denver then to a small ranch town in Wyoming. City people don't let thier kids do things kids do here. It's to dangerous, but people here don't let thier kids run around the big city, to many crazy people. But we ride horses, drive 4 wheelers, side by sides, tractors, farm equipment, use tools, drive, change irrigation before 12yrs old. But still we don't let them do the things we did, our parents, our grandparents. We make the decisions to use products as adults and in America turn around and file lawsuit on anything we don't like. Even thou we made the decision. Life will always change, inventions, products, and in 100 years we will say the same thing. People who say why would they do that, why do u do what your doc tells u too. Why do u buy that make up, why do u take weight loss stuff that kills your heart, why do u trust a self driving car? Because u of vanity and WANT of the newest best. Nothing has changed. Just the Era. And communication. Just like crime and serial killers and school shootings. In America we've always had ALL of these, nothing has changed other than we have the ability to know everything about it within 10 seconds of it happening. Before u didn't know what happened outside your area and it took a month before u did. U didn't know what was bad for you. We had to learn as a species and humans always learn the hard way because we believe we are superior. My dog learns what hurts it faster than people will acknowledge what's bad for them. This will always be. It's no differant than tourists and travelers going to Yellowstone national park in Wyoming that never lived around the wild. And they ask when the animals are caged up so they can camp😂. Or each year several get impaled and stomped by a bison they try to take a picture or or pet or put thier young child on thier back😮. Rarely do you find a human that has the respect for the earth and all of its dangers, electricity, gas's, elements, natural chemicals, water, the power of mother nature is greater than any one of us, and we will never be able to harness it and not be in danger. So don't go thinking we are better or smarter than our ancestors. We are doing the same exact shit in a more advanced smug way! And yes I'm one of them, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting under my aluminum awning, on my wood and concrete porch, with my energy drink, on my mobile phone commenting to people all over the world getting ready to drive to the fuel station in my car then go pick up the meds my doctor told me to take at the pharmacy!!!! We will never change! I'd rather be a dog lol😂

And only just recently as of December of last year were we contacted by a lawyer about payment.

This was to burn’ polyps out of the sinus cavities and prevent allergy symptoms. I had 6 of these painful treatments as a child and developed ovarian cancer in the 1980’s, probably due to the radioactivity received. The word ‘iatrogenic’ loosely means ‘doctor induced’ illness.

At about 23 minutes, they talk about staircases....I can attest to the danger. Two years ago, I was helping my elderly father in law with his laundry. Up and down the stairs I went....all day long (the heat element in his drier was burnt out, so drying took many resets). By 9 pm, I was tired (a bit cranky), and I was fairly loose-limbed as I raced down the stairs. Next thing I knew, I was lying on my butt with my foot at a right angle to my leg. Astonished, I searched for something to wrap it so that I could finish the laundry. When I raised my leg to tie a dishcloth around it, I realized that, aside from skin, my foot no longer seemed to be attached to my leg; flopping around in every direction. Yup: dislocated. When I looked at the stairs (weeks later, after the cast was removed), I saw that the floor was uneven, so much so that one side of the last stair only had a rise of about 3 inches.

You have to remember that this was simply how things were for them. They were probably not any happier or sadder than we are today.

Chances are, in the future some great method of instantly cleaning our clothes will be invented and our future generations will look upon us and think the same about us as we do about the Victorian era.

In the 50s and 60s, every cut and scrape I had was treated with mercurichom. I was sick rather alot as a child, and therefore forced to invest castor oil regularly. At age 69, I have mant "conditions", and attribute the cause of several to the "cures" throughout the years.

Sorry, this may be off topic, but Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb is an extraordinarily beautiful woman. Great documentary by the way. The Tudor Home part of this documentary was my personal favorite.

Imagine all of those battered wives and children that got revenge on their husband/father from poisoning then without consequence.

I've would poison my dad...he was violent and drunk. I always knew where he had his whisky. I also knew if he drank or not because I checked the bottles....I would put arsenic on those. My mom, my brother and me, we all have a type of trauma with this. In my case anxiety since child and a bit of depression.

I did hair for years... certain people preferred the old school Marcel curling irons that you have to heat in a stove... we had to learn how to use them - they did work wonders BUT mannequins and people coming into the hair school did have locks burnt off and students got blistering burns WAAAAAAYYYYYYY more often than with the modern electric and especially ceramic ones.

It's no longer common practice to wear gloves when handling most historical books and documents. I worked on a library exhibit for 17th and 18th century cookbooks and we were told we didn't need to wear gloves by the collection manager

although the dangers of asbestos became very well known and documented, it was still widely used in construction materials up until the 1980s because of its fire retarding properties, and because they struggled to find adequate alternatives. It was also commonly used in brake pads for cars and trucks. Whole new materials had to be invented to replace asbestos. It is however still used in some firefighting gear as heat protection
@theresehopkins1581

The important thing I took from this is.... if it isn't broke, don't try to fix it. Asbestos is so widely spread it's literally impossible to eliminate it without making it a deadly problem. Leave it alone, unless there's no other choice!! Better to seal it in where it is. It would be great to go back in time and never invent this stuff... but that would be true of a lot of things!! 🙄

Susannah Lipscomb is an absolute gem. Effortlessly & naturally beautiful, intelligent, well educated, well rounded, and well spoken. I could listen to her for hours! Such a pleasant voice. It would be great if she would do book narrations, especially on some of the most beloved classics. Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, Little Women... She *absolutely* would do them justice. ***Edit: Just found out that she does narration on a book she authored, "A Visitor's Companion to Tudor, England" and partial narration on a book she co-authored with Helen Carr, " What is History, Now?" both historical non-fiction and just from the preview I know we need to hear some fiction narrations from her! Someone try to make it happen, PLEASE!!! 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻
