[b]No one bathes without a soap...!! I came across many families who use a common soap for their bathing purposes. How about you - do you have an individual soap or us the soap as a common one to all in the...

arkaf61 I think we are all- as people - going overboard over small things. Sharing soap is fine and as hygienic as anything else. There is no proof in contrary and no need to worry about it. Actually other than for special reasons, there is no specific proof that soap...

I can say that I am friendly and I keep my friends just like treasure. Sad to say, only a few manage to give back the friendship I show. Most of my childhood friends who happen to be successful now, have already forgotten me. I...

arkaf61 Well, some friendships stay... some go. In my experience good friendships stay, weak ones don't and when I think about it, it's not a bad deal :) I still have two very strong friends from childhood even though I have moved so far it is very rare that we see...

Did you know that any food with red food coloring is almost guaranteed to have been made with bugs? The insect cochineal produces a substance called carminic acid, which is used by food manufacturing companies to produce 'carmine...

arkaf61 Why stop? Richer drink with extra protein :) Actually I prefer bugs to all the chemicals they put in everything to give it colour, taste, texture etc. etc. etc. I know, it sounds gross, but it's way less "unhealthy" than some of the stuff that is added to our...

For a long time the U.S. recited the mantra that 'growth is good', and the country, and indeed the world, grew and grew. Now we are closing in on 7 billion people on this planet, but a majority of that growth is seen in developing...

arkaf61 There's always a good point and a bad point to everything. Our planet is not growing, just us LOL That makes it somewhat limited for uncontrolled growth. Yet, an aging population has it's low points too. AS people age and retire, well... who's gonna take over...

I don't have problem if the lights are on or not, I can sleep either way. Of course most of us prefer turning off the lights to sleep more comfortably. I can't sleep only if I'm thinking something deeply.

arkaf61 I can sleep either way, it doesn't really make a difference to me. However I tend to prefer having at least a small light on. Nothing too bright, but some light. In my other room I used to have the street lights by my window, so I didn't need anything else as...

Most of us have a general idea that to take vitamin is good for health. But the researchers found a reverse fact. They claim if aged women take more vitamins their risk of death increases. Vitamin may be useful for those who are...

arkaf61 Everything with balance and common sense always, is better than any research and counter-research. Commons sense will tell us that too much of anything - even a good thing - is not necessarily healthy. Trying to achieve a balance between what we eat to...

arkaf61 I also agree it is nice to take vitamins from natural food. Just wondering where can we find the food that can get us those vitamins and is not tainted with fertilizers, "modifiers", "prettyfiers" "huge-ifiers" and such. ALso for a true deficiency sometimes...

arkaf61 billant8 I really agree with you and I was reading hoping to find someone saying that. Every few years or so there will be research giving results that conflict with previous - and future - researches. Not sure how "trust-able" that makes any research made...

arkaf61 I don't think it has anything to do with OCD :) People - as a rule - like to look tidy and neat. That's a good thing ( is it a good thing still? LOL ). Like you I don't iron all of our clothes. Many things nowadays don't really wrinkle and if we take them from...
