stink

This is about how NOT to stink. PREAMBLE Some of you don't sweat, and you never smell bad. Go away. The rest of us emit body odor to a lesser or greater degree. Actually, most of what we emit through our pores is odorless. Even the sweat in our armpits is odorless when ...

Carbon Tax?

Ok, how about a carbon DIOXIDE tax? Well, I can support it if it taxes not just the carbon-dioxide-producing aspects of a product or service, but also the production of other pollution. If we must tax at all, then tax goods by how far they have come, and by how polluting and ...

Pollution, carbon offsets and all that

A few centuries ago, western European, especially British, inventors and entrepreneurs began employing what became "industrial" methods of producing goods. Before then, everything as made by hand. Artisans made only a few, high-quality items because it was so time-consuming to practice their craft (even with lots of indentured apprentices to ...

Be green - hang your laundry in the fresh breeze

Recent letters and lifestyle articles in the local rag have extolled the practical and karmic virtues of using a clothesline to dry laundry, rather than an electric- or gas-heated automatic clothes-dryer.

I have met many people who don't eat chocolate. Some of them are dieting, so they are depriving themselves.  Tsk!  So sad. Some of them say that they simply don't like chocolate. I believe that they mean what they say... I just don't believe that they're actually from this planet.  Never mind ...

Don’t park your butt

Ok, sorry-in-advance, but we're going to get down to some basic poop, here. Literally. We're going to discuss intestinal function, plumbing (yours), diseases (like diverticulitis, crohn's, irritable bowel, appendicitis, and even hemorrhoids, also constipation), and I have to mention all this in the first couple of sentences, or the search-engine bots don't ...

Prostate

There. I said it. Werty derd. I'll be talking to the guys, here, about something that'll affect most, eventually. Actually, I already talked about it in my other post on sleep and natural-source calming drugs. So, no need for more than a quick summary here, and then get to my observation/recommendation. If you are ...

Sleep easy with this one

I said I'd mention another herbal product I'd actually found useful - as opposed to the vast majority (that I've tried - still a tiny minority of all the concoctions you can find out there, but... where was I? oh yeah...). It was called Hi Qi Restful Sleep. You're sleepin' OK?   ...
