gambama I sometimes think "global warming" is a misnomer. I think a better name is "global extremes". On the other hand, the polar ice caps are melting and shrinking, and here we have had an extremely warm winter.

gambama If you are healthy, nothing will happen. I know from religious fasts (Yom Kipper) which forbid food and drink for 26 hours.

gambama We are definitely not starting with indifference. We do accept the REALITY of a situation. We are not accepting the situation as good. Understanding as in knowing why someone probably acted as sh/e did, definitely. Understanding as in saying that every...

gambama I'm glad I could give you a constructive idea. Since your husband is home and a good cook, there are many ways to save. *Do you remember the story "Stone Soup"? See what scraps you have at home, including bones. A good hearty soup can be cheap and filling...

I just read that if you add vinegar as part of a salad dressing, you will burn your tummy fat quicker. Needless to say, I will try it. I´ll make a salad dressing to keep in my fridge with vinegar, some olive oil, salt and oregano....

gambama i know that salad is good for keeping to a diet. I also know vinegar is a useful product. The only thing i know that will burn fat is exercise. The only way it can be targeted to the tummy is if the exercise strengthens the tummy muscles. There is no...

Mylotters- My question is posed to both the able bodied and the less able among us. How do you know what your limits are? How do you know how to stop before you get sick? I suffer from a chronic lung disease that always has...

gambama I find your response interesting. The artificial hip seems not to actually be very important. Do you allow for it in any way? I find that line "eventually it will all become easy because I am always looking for ways to increase my strength" inspiring. I...

gambama How about heating your water? Here in Israel, solar water heaters are fairly standard. The technology has been around for years. It is a lot less complicated than generating electricity. It makes a real dent in our electric bills.

gambama For me what makes good poetry is strong images. That is what is missing. You are telling instead of feeling. i'll give you an example; "When dreams die Life is a broken winged bird That cannot fly" --- Dreams by Langston Hughes. Do you see what I mean?

gambama I actually think it's an excellent idea.A checkup can catch problems -like diabetes- before they become serious. I suspect that many of the people who did not have checkups did so because of the cost. As for doctors trying to find disease or health- I...
