Do you eat foods past their expiration date?
Comments (29)We may be way over cautious but I'd rather err on the side of caution especially with children. Your local County Extension Service can give you FDA guidelines for food safety. Travel became an issue for me. Years ago while in Madrid I was violently sick to my stomach the first few nights after dinner. Our host practiced, as many Europeans, not refrigerating items which are commonly refrigerated here in the U.S. For the remainder of the trip I ate only saltine crackers and gingerale, I was already drinking bottled water only as was DD. My dear friend made a lovely fritata (eggs, potatoes, onions, etc.) which she served hot upon our arrival. It then sat on the counter unrefrigerated for the next few days while they snacked on it. When we returned home I visited my MD. He told me that I became ill due to bacteria introduced that my body was not equipped to handle. I am not at all immune compromised Our hosts have always lived this way so their bodies treat that bacteria differently. I found the refrigeration issue to be the same in France, Germany, Norway, Sweeden, Iceland. They just don't refrigerate commonly refrigerated food items as we do here in the States. Have been to many underdeveloped countries and DH has never had a problem? He is of the "when in Rome" mindset. I've seen him drink from the tap in places that just scream "you're gonna have an issue". He must have some superhuman immune system. Me, I drink only bottled water/drinks and always travel with a stash of pre-packaged foods items, as I want to be able to enjoy the entire trip wherever the destination. Over the years, I've discovered that four star doesn't mean the same thing once you leave the States. In fact, four star in some odd out of the way places means 1/2 a star by U.S. standards. As for meds, I was under the impression (with the exception of vitamins) that at most they can lose their effectiveness, not make you sick.

Comments (25)valtog, Sorry if I left the impression that, if one isn't overweight, one needn't worry about replacements for hips, knees, etc. Just meant that the possibilities of needing some of that are much smaller if one has successfully avoided being overweight. I think that playing quite a lot of hockey increases one's chances of needing such a service. As does jogging. I think that walking (or, even better, swimming, to let the water take the load off one's hips and legs) is preferable to jogging. But that takes longer ... and you know how modern man (well, women, too) hate that! Also, with regard to the jogging ... I suspect that I harbour a streak of laziness somewhere in my makeup. I've found that I'm too lazy to hold back when running downhill. Life do have its problems! I hope that you're having a memorable day. o j...See Moreexpired drinks--how many to buy?
Comments (17)I've heard the artificial sweetener they use in diet drinks dies. There was a piece on the History channel that showed how they made those aluminum cans and they spray a coating on the inside of the cans to keep the contents from being contaminated by the can. I'm pretty sure that the liquid eventually eats this coating off. DH had a boss once that wouldn't drink anything out of a can. He said they find aluminum residue in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. And plastic must deteriorate with time, also. Otherwise why would we be told not to re-use plastic water bottles (although I wonder if that's not just a marketing scare to keep people from refilling and make them buy more)....See MoreOpinions about this Will Package
Comments (22)I've been offered AHD every time I've gone into the hospital and there's no charge for it. A Will is completely different. Joan, you're looking for problems writing on the Will and initialing it. It needs to be witnessed in MN. The proper procedure would be to simply do a codicil to your Will for simple changes. Have it properly witnessed and notarized. Not difficult. We ran into this exact issue with my Aunt's estate since she wrote modifications on her WIll and put a note with it. Yes, holographic Wills are recognized but there's laws that apply there too. They're not automatically valid. If you have simple needs for disposal of your estate you can probably DIY it. If you have substantial assets, don't be cheap. That is if you truly care how it's divided. If you look at Wills (prepared by attorneys), many of them are extremely simple. The complexity depends on the individual's needs. As for Prince? He doesn't give a rat's gaspipe about it now. Didn't care about it when he was alive either or he would have drawn up a Will. Maybe he didn't want to spend a few hundred dollars? If you're going to spend money buying a kit, then I think you're better off putting that toward a lawyer....See MoreElmer J Fudd
