People that add a Jacuzzi or those walk in tubs with jets to massage you.... You'll never hear this in the sales pitch but once you have one installed, they have a warning sticker on the new units to only be removed by the customers. They warn you that if you use chlorinated city water, don't stay in the tubs for more than a few minutes. Those jets aerate the water and release all the chlorine and you're relaxing there and breathing in a high concentration of chlorine gas. Not good for you. |

Not good > for you. "They"? Millions of hot tubs are meant to be kept filled at all times. These use chlorine or bromine to keep the water from turning green and slimy. It's entirely up to the owner to regulate the amount of disinfectant in the tub. If it were a health hazard, people would be suing hot tub manufacturers right, left, and center. The industry would dry up and blow away. Cindy Hamilton |

Birth control is cheap. Perhaps those uneducated people should pay for education rather than childcare. And I don't mean a four-year bachelor's degree. Cindy Hamilton |

The Brits abolished slavery about 30 years before the Yanks did. The difference, of course, is that they didn't have a civil war over the matter, Again, the US Civil War wasn't about slavery. The North was treating the South unfairly with economics. They chose to leave the union. That's what the civil war was all about. I suspect Lincoln abolished slavery later just as pay backs to the South for trying to divide us into two countries. |

In the 20's nobody is really interested in what the boomers are having for breakfast because it's the millennials that have taken over the crown. Having a black mammy on a box is viral dynamite that's going to go off sooner or later. It's not personal, it's just business. In the old slave days, the slaves grew crops and animals. The owners got all the good meat and veggies. The slaves were given the scrap leftovers to eat. Well, over the years, the slaves learned how to cook very good food from all those scraps. Used to be known as soul food but decendents of slaves kept going and definitely know how to cook excellent home cooked food. Having a pic of a black person on a box of food was to indicate it was a very good product. |

In other words... G Washington might have talked about freeing the slaves but he never did until he was on his death bed. Kind of a "do as I say, not what I do" thing. |

Mine is delivered to a box at the side of the road, right in front of my house. A very common situation for rural (or semi-rural) residents. I provide the box, which must adhere to some fairly minimal standards set out by the U.S. Post Office. Cindy Hamilton |

If they can change colors that's good enough for us. OTOH, we've also had Jackson chameleons. That used to be the craze on this rock. People would catch them and keep them while they withered away and then fall off their branch dead because not many people knew how to take care of them. My young daughter raised anoles once in an aquarium with a screen lid. She fed them crickets and also had a water bowl. They lived a long time. Then she caught a praying mantis once outside. It lived for years on top of her bedroom curtain. She also fed it crickets. No water...I guess the crickets had enough moisture in their bodies. And no...she didn't go out hunting for crickets. The pet store sold them cheap...about 100 small crickets for a dollar. |

Trying a bit different sauce this time. |

When I add fresh tomatoes to a pizza, I like to semi-dehydrate them first in the oven. Fresh sliced can make your pizza a bit watery. The meatier roma tomatoes are better. |
