LONG-term mobile phone users could face a higher risk of developing cancer in later life, according to a decade-long study.
My cell phone is old, so I’m guessing it doesn’t do so well from a radiation perspective….

- -I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
- -More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.

Solar Panels Kept Efficient by Sheep! : CleanTechnica
Makes me wonder if people who live in rural areas should sometimes consider livestock in lieu of lawnmowers. I kind of like the idea.
Um….ok, well first off, I’d be worried the car would smell. Should I not worry about that? Second, would an oven work? I mean you can heat ovens to 100-150 degrees. It’s not environmentally friendly which perhaps defeats the purpose, but I’ve never tried to dry fruit in the first place, so perhaps this article will prompt me to try….

Diva Cup
Another product I didn’t know existed … and was liked….
Apparently tampons dont do the trick quite as well when you’re bending and stretching in ways that your body is not meant to move.
Random plug: I don’t rave about things, but other people say that the Diva Cup has changed their lives. I wouldn’t say that but I do say that it works quite well for me, and getting my period (if I have enough ibuprofen and coffee around) has become a non-thought. And I haven’t bought pads or tampons for over a year now. Fewer trips to the store! Also you can leave it in safely for longer than a tampon, and also safely when you’re not having your period (like if you’re gonna spend the whole day out and about, and *think* it’ll start that day you can put it in).
Other common claims from actual friends of mine and not people on message boards so I feel they’re more true even though they’re not true for me:
- cramps are not as bad (tampons often have synthetic stuff that your body ends up absorbing, making cramps worse)
- period is shorter (?)
If I weren’t the kind of exact opposite of a neat freak that I am though, I can imagine maybe some people having trouble with the thought of a menstrual cup. You’re gonna have to factor in a learning curve.But yeah. Um. I’ll stop selling this now. E-mail if you want more info. :-)
