Comments (11)New evidence is coming out that sunscreens are not actually protective. They screen the rays UVB that cause sunburn but allow the rays that cause cancers, UVA, to penetrate. I personally don't wear any sunscreen at all and am out for hours every day. What I do is stay out of the sun during the high radiation time, say noon to 4 pm. I arrange my day to work earlier and then as much time as possible between 4 pm and dark, 9:30 pm at present. Dr. Mercola has a lot of info on his site. Sunscreens also block Vitamin D formation in the skin, which is very important as Vit. D is protective against skin cancer, and an article I read recently said may be protective against childhood autism, which may be fostered by lack of sunshine/Vit. D formation, as parents think they have to protect their kids from the sun and slather them with sunscreens or stay indoors. They also should be out without ss in the low radiation parts of the day....See MoreANY bass fishermen (or women) in here?
Comments (36)I haven't been fishing musky for long, but know plenty of people that get them to bite on the second or third follow, sometimes with the same bait, sometimes with a different throwback bait. I wouldn't wait all day after a follow, but a couple extra casts will sometimes induce them to strike. If not, depending on the aggression shown during the follow, you leave, then come back to the spot later with a different presentation. I'm leaving tomorrow midday for a fall trophy hunt near the WI/UP border. Freezing temps means lots of warm clothes, slower moving baits, and a couple big fat suckers on quick strike rigs hanging over the side. I can't wait. By the way, a few musky guys I know from OH, KY, MO, etc. inform me that gar are in fact a blast to catch. Hard to get the iron into their bony mouths from what I'm told. Somebody also mentioned they can be caught with a frayed piece of nylon rope? Kevin I like muskies....See MoreCan men and women be 'just friends'?
Comments (63)I think it's all depending on whether that male friend found the woman to be attractive or not. Also, it's depending on the level of their closeness & mental intimacy. If a man found a woman who's his soul mate on email exchange, and irl she's physical/sexually attractive, it's probably difficult for him to not falling for her (whether he wants it or not). I have a lot of male friends, but they aren't my soul mates and I'm not attracted to them. I'm there to help then anytime they need me, we are very good friends since we were 18 (met in college) but because we don't have physical attraction for each other, nothing ever happened. They are all married w/ kids. However, I'm very cautious a/b entering a level where a male friend became my soul mate . If I found a man who is my soul mate (understand me, sharing my common passions, etc.) and we are both physically attracted to each other, then it would be tough to keep my marriage intact. I do not want to be tempted, you know, so I don't even go there. Yes, I can be friends, but I don't let any man enter the inner sanctum of my heart :-). Once (before DH) I knew this man from the internet who was my soulmate in every way. We often compared ourselves to Sabine & Griffith who live on parallel universe. Well, we met irl & while he was very physical attracted to me, I am not attracted to him. He ended up being hurt by my refusal & that broke our friendship. If I was remotely attracted to him, we are probably married now. :-) A lot of marital affairs started out as friendship, you know. :-)...See MoreBlaming U.S. states for women's 'dismal' health
Comments (25)It's pretty complicated. I realize I have a unique viewpoint that few people share, but I feel pretty strongly about it. I apologize if I offend any of you and it's not meant personally and I'm not intending to start a debate. I don't believe in eating meat. That's an ethical choice for me, but it's also a health choice, especially in recent years. I believe it harms the body. Hundreds of years ago, people hunted for their food. It was active, the animals were wild and eating their own intended food. And meat wasn't the main portion of the meal. I honestly don't really have as much of an ethical problem with that. Today, we waddle down to the local supermarket to pick up the $2.99 pound of hamburger that is loaded with antibiotics, pesticides, hormones, fecal matter, adrenalin, preservatives and who knows what. These animals are kept in awful conditions, fed unnatural food and experience fear, which you end up ingesting. As Patser mentioned, it leads to antibiotic resistance, little girls are developing faster than ever from the hormones and the role of meat has changed. In the land of Atkins and super value meals, the meat has become the meal, usually with some sort of starch and maybe a side of vegetables. Maybe. I feel the same way about dairy. We're the only species who drinks milk past infancy. We're the only species who drinks other species milk. I don't believe it's healthy for you. Many people get upset stomachs and they're "lactose intolerant" and need to take medications in order to keep consuming the dairy. Doesn't that mean something? When we ingest something we aren't supposed to, the body vomits it as a preservation measure. However, we're taught from childhood that milk is essential to thrive. So this is where my issue with the government "education" lies. I've seen countless ads showing "scientific" studies on the benefits of of consuming this and that. There's one saying you will lose weight if you add 24 oz of milk a day to your diet. However, these ads are usually sponsored by some sort of large interest group. There's rampant corruption among special interest groups and the national nutritional standards. Have you seen those recent commercials about high fructose corn syrup, saying it's natural? They want to call it corn sugar and they claim it's the same as regular sugar. It's pretty much one of the worst things that you can put in your body and my issue is that the average public BELIEVES what they're saying. So while I do believe in personal responsibility, I also think that many, many people are mislead by special interest groups who support these "studies" that they present to the public to make them feel better and healthier for consuming their products. I think there should be stricter standards for advertising such claims because profiting from encouraging poor nutrition choices is just wrong....See Moreblfenton
