I was in the Philippines recently, with my wife, to visit her old Papa. We took the extended family, 12 people, to what was supposed to be a high end restaurant, costing nearly 1200 pesos (around $30 Australian)...

emptychair @Shiva49 If that Komodo dragon eats plastic though, even its acidic stomach could not cope with the plastic either, and the plastic would go into its body parts, and brain too, causing inflammation, and health problems, even for it too. And with all that acid...

emptychair @Shiva49 l remember that guy too. His stomach must have been made of cast iron after that, and probably before that too.

emptychair @Shiva49 Some seem to have super genes, and can live to 100, despite these handicaps that cut most of us down in our 70's, and 80's. A lot of times, we get caught out, and do not realise our mistake until hindsight arises, kicks in, later. Even the vitamin...

It seems like I was watching a movie reel turn around today. I remembered all the surprise birthdays I threw my mom when she was 65, 70, and 75. She loved having all our Latvian neighbors coming up to the apartment and popping...

emptychair @Shiva49 I also have some mercury fillings. I cannot really afford to have them replaced now though, and will let the, hopefully, sleeping dogs lie for now. Asbestos sheets used to be used everywhere, our old garden shed was once made of that in my old...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, I might not have changed my ways, and found out about the dangers of plastic, without this trip. I have been going through my wardrobe, to get rid of some old plastic clothes too, made of acrylic, and polyester. My wife used to sell tupperware...

Firefighters in Arcanum Ohio answered an emergency call on Friday when a house caught fire with a dog inside while the owners of the house were away. Before the Arcanum Fire Department arrived to put out the fire, neighbors...

emptychair @Shiva49 These things can happen, and gas is often the culprit; gas heaters here have killed people through giving off carbon monoxide, through some fault, or leak.

emptychair @Shiva49 I notice that AI seems to be a "yes" machine. It usually agrees with what I say, but when I add something that shows that what it said was rubbish, then it corrects itself, and tells me that I was right. It is good to get quick info on topics,...

emptychair @Shiva49 I notice that some Indian religions, like the Sikh religion, use stainless steel plates, cups, and cutlery, as they think they are purer, for their religious reasons. I went to an Indian shop here, just the other day, and bought a food grade Indian...

emptychair @Shiva49 I look for cotton, or wool. You usually pay more for them, though. Plastic and cotton blends are often worse that just plastic alone, as shredding takes place where the cotton blends with the plastic. There are so many types of plastic, acrylic,...

I used to stay awake until 1 or 2 AM, grading papers, and still be ready for my 8 AM class. I am not so sure I could do that now. Am I "old and full of sleep," to quote my late father? It is only 8:30 PM, but I look forward...

emptychair @Shiva49 I use my old desktop computer at home as I prefer a real keyboard, and my mobile while out and about, but I do not like to do complex tasks on my mobile. Yes, life is a trade-off, but we are getting less and less chance to change things that affect...

emptychair @Shiva49 Hard to use internet on my phone over there to write a post. I like a bigger screen, as the small one is fiddly for me. We do need help at times, as, as they say, no man is an island, and yet the idea of oneness contradicts this saying, we are all...

To Kaiser's credit, I already got the results back from my tests yesterday morning . It appears that my kidneys are not going to fall out, and that I am not a drug addict. I could have told them the latter without having to pee...
