Well if your in Texas, get ready summer is already here.....just to give ya a taste....today's weather is 98F with a dew point of 75.....that mean heat index is 109. For Memorial weekend base temps will be 100s for the first time this season, and with that dew point, it will feel 115F or higher.

So my advice, is to get your things done in the morning like groceries and running around, then when you get home, baton down the hatches and stay inside, if you need to go outside for any reason make sure you bring water and a hat, you could also make a cool rag put it around your neck. Then about dusk pop your head out see how it feels, once the sun sets, you can water your gardens and such. Also watch your animals if you have any, bring them in if you can, or at least make sure they are covered and away from the sunlight if you can't. My suggestion is to bring them in....

It's gonna be a long summer down here, just please be prepared......

I use waxed paper to wrap my sandwiches like my mom used to wrap ours for thousands of lunches over the years. Keeps them fresh as ziplocks for a couple days, longer if refrigerated. Do my best to buy products like jams, peanut butter etc in glass jars and have sent emails to many companies that make products I like but put them in plastic. I'm sorry to inform you that due to recent revelations about the dangers of plastics food containers I will be buying X product instead of yours which I like better other than the plastic containers. Vote with your wallet.

I do not click on .amp links either for much the same reason. Hazardous to your internet security.

We use the reusable bags. I wash them when I wash the dishes. You are talking less than a minute per bag. We've had them a couple three years now and they are still going strong.

I will still use a single use bag once in a while, but not very often. This brand is easy to find and pretty good. Some of the cheaper ones the zipper grooves will get crossed up.

I get between six and ten uses out of a “disposable” zip bag. Dish soap is cheaper than a new bag.

I've seen those too but ALL plastics release microparticles that can enter into our bloodstreams and lodge in our organs including the brain. Science is only beginning to research the long term consequences of this but I have a feeling that what they find is not going to be good news.

NO plastics are microwave safe regardless of what it says on the packaging. I haven't used a microwave to heat food in at least 30 years. I can wait 20 min while the toaster oven warms something I want to eat or I toss it in a pan and heat it on the stove.

I remember at least a couple decades ago they came out with glass containers for various foods, condiments etc that had a thin plastic coating so if it were dropped and the glass broke it was contained by the plastic skin and didn't scatter glass shards all over the place.

Another way to reduce plastic and other waste is to increase the deposit paid when you buy them. Here in Alberta aluminum beer, pop cans etc up to 1L are only 5¢ each. Every spring after the snow melts I pick up at least a couple dozen, mostly beer cans of the crappier brands as low class people tend to toss junk out their windows or into the back of their pickups knowing full well that it will disappear by the time they get to their destinations. If they put a 25¢ deposit on them so a dozen empty beer, pop cans etc were worth $3 instead of only 60¢ I bet I'd see a lot less in the ditch along the 200 yards or so in front of my place. Same with paper coffee cups that have plastic lids. Plenty of those end up in ditches along the thousands of miles of highways just here in Alberta.

The seven last plagues in Revelation are:

First plague: The contents of the first bowl will cause painful sores upon those “who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image” (Revelation 16:2). It appears these painful, open sores will be caused by some sort of skin disease or infection.


Second plague: When this bowl is poured out, the sea will become blood and cause all life in it to die (verse 3). The death of saltwater marine life will destroy a major food source for millions of people.


Third plague: After the third angel pours out its bowl, the rivers and springs of water will become blood (verse 4). This plague will destroy freshwater fish—even further impacting the food supply for millions of people.



Fourth plague: The fourth bowl will cause the sun to become so hot as “to scorch men with fire” (verse 8).


Fifth plague: This punishment will bring darkness, pains and sores (verses 10-11).


Sixth plague: The bowl containing this plague will be poured out on the Euphrates River, causing it to dry up and make land travel easier for the armies of “the kings of the earth and of the whole world” to assemble at Armageddon (the area of Megiddo, which is approximately 18 miles or 30 kilometers southeast of the modern city of Haifa). From this location, the assembled armies will then advance toward Jerusalem for a final battle against Jesus Christ (verses 12-16).


Seventh plague: This final plague will consist of “noises and thunderings and lightnings” and “such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth” (verse 18). Babylon, a powerful false religion, will fall (verse 19, compare Revelation 18:2) and there will be devastating hail, with hailstones weighing up to a “talent”—approximately 100 pounds (verse 21).

Let’s please not be giving that misguided bit of scripture any oxygen in a forum used by intelligent people. Anyone seeking evidence that the entire thing was written by just plain people will strike gold in that turgid favorite of doom preachers and merchants of genderhate.
