JohnRok1 I had a ganglion on my left wrist in my late twenties, which they got rid of with a cortisol injection, though often a sharp whack with the edge of a ruler can disperse it.

do you use candles when there is power outage?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9551) • Philippines 8 Dec 12

A lot of fires had been started by candles which had been unattended. That is why some people do not use candles, especially when they have children at home. However, when there are many days of power interruptions, candles are...

JohnRok1 I remember numbers of Philippinos on myLot, at least one of them from Cebu City. I hope we hear from them again, but I suppose some of them must have been victims. Some might even be helping victims - it wouldn't surprise me. One new Philippino friend (through...

JohnRok1 Kid's jokes are the best. One I like: - Do you remember my name? - Yes. - Will you remember my name in a week's time? - Yes. - Will you remember my name in a year's time? - Yes. - Knock knock. - Who's there? - Oh no! After all you said!

JohnRok1 My response of 2009 or 2010 seems to have been wiped out during the revamping of MyLot. I pointed out that because the word for "this" in the original Hebrew is feminine, whereas that for "skin" is masculine, the rendering in the Authorized ("King James")...

JohnRok1 John MacKay and his Australian creationist colleagues have done some good work on this. One point made is that when people lived to near 1000, reptiles also lived to much higher ages. As reptile bones, unlike those of mammals, do not fuse, that means they also...

JohnRok1 Morally it could depend on whether the company actually makes a loss on what staff buy when they use the staff discount. If your firm still make a slight profit, why not? Your family might otherwise have taken their business elsewhere. On the other hand, if it...

JohnRok1 From Wikipedia: "Recent scientific experimentation has duplicated several doppelgänger effects when electrical stimulation was applied to the left temporoparietal junction of the brain of a patient". There may be a natural explanation.

I went to Save a Lot the other day to save a few bucks on my shopping bill. I bought 8 large tomatoes and I was awfully disappointed. You get what you pay for, that is for sure. I usually pay about 2.39 a pound for really nice...

JohnRok1 In fact, to get the most lycopene into your system from tomatoes you need to cook them, so it isn't the end of the world if you have to cook a batch of tomatoes you bought. When I was growing up we used to eat tomatoes as fruit and I loved them. I was quite...

JohnRok1 They didn't have to fail the test. But they chose to. It is a function of God's nature that He can be shocked without being surprised. So Christ in Gethsemane, sore amazed. Yet He had known it would happen.

JohnRok1 It's a feature of Alzheimer's that people get upset if their environment changes from what they are used to. Steve, in spite of his culture, education and intelligence, may be in the early stages.
