    Obesogens

    At least Australia is making it a bit easier to eat healthier for those who want to. Here in America, it takes a good deal of effort to eat healthy. I think more people would choose healthier options, if they were more readily available. Our political system is no longer working effectively...

    Obesogens

    Has anyone viewed pictures from decades ago? Or even view family photos from years ago? Such as from the 40's or 50's and maybe even more recently from the 80's or 90's. Very few people are overweight. But today, being overweight or obese has been normalized. As someone who is lean, I feel...

    Valentine Day plans?

    I spent some time with a friend I hadn't seen in awhile earlier in the day and then meeting up with another friend tonight. I have never been in a relationship so I don't really think about Valentine's Day very much. I used to think about it more, but that just caused emotional pain. However...

    What do you do for a living?

    I am a CPA/accountant and do tax and accounting work. Analytical skills, attention to detail, and being a perfectionist have generally served me well in this career. There are some accounting jobs that require significant interaction with other people. I like to work with others to a limit -...

    What Good/Bad habits Will You Start/End for NewYears?

    This is a good one. I don't do a lot of social media, but I do find myself mindless looking at my phone and scrolling through news feed. Just as a distraction or break from what I am doing. Or when I am bored. I think the best change I could make is reducing stress. Managing stress has been...

    Is writing or speaking easier for you?

    Writing for sure because I have to think through my thoughts and I can read what I write and make edits as necessary. It does take a lot of focus and energy though. Meanwhile, my speaking ability can vary depending on how tired or stressed I am along with my mood. I tend to lose the ability...

    Why do military members move so often?

    My brother is in the military and does move every 3 years or so do another base. I'm not sure what all the reasons are for this approach. Definitely makes it difficult if you have a family and kids. It really is a lifestyle that needs to be embraced by the whole family to be successful.

    Asbestos Concern

    I guess no one truly knows how much is too much and it may be different amounts for different people. It is clear that in can cause chronic conditions and deadly diseases in some instances. I believe firefighters have an increase risk in developing cancers including mesothelioma, although they...

    Asbestos Concern

    I've attached some photos of the remaining suspected asbestos insulation boards that are still attached to the outside of the still standing shed. Also a few photos of the burn pile.

    Asbestos Concern

    I hope you are right. I definitely agree that those at highest risk are for individuals who have worked or lived with it over a long period such as several years or even decades. However, based on what I have read I do believe that breathing in asbestos fibers is more hazardous than smoke from...

    Tips for Possible Autistic Burnout?

    Autistic burnout is quite common. I think the length of time to recover can increase if the burnout has gone on for a longer period. It does sound like you have been through a lot recently so it is understandable for you to feel the way you are feeling. I have found it difficult to balance...

    Asbestos Concern

    As I have researched more about asbestos, I've learned that farmers can be an at risk occupation for asbestos exposure. Many farm buildings have building materials that contained asbestos along with farming supplies and soil conditioners. Additionally, it may be found in machinery. Growing up...

    Asbestos Concern

    I have a question on this. The ash/debris pile is outside and as a result it has been rained on a few times. Once it dries out, wouldn't the asbestos dust remain and easily kicked up into the air? I ask because my dad has already began piling up wood and other items on the ash pile to prepare...
