“The best solution is to change the way people eat, the way they live, the lifestyle, and diet,” Mackey says. “There’s no reason why people shouldn’t be healthy and have a longer health span. A bunch of drugs is not going to solve the problem.” Americans are not taking as good care of their own […]
The Digital Devil told me I had dipped below 173 and I’m resisting the urge to overthink this. I can’t explain this bizarre behavior. It’s just part of my makeup, a tiny piece of me that tends to repeat over and over and over again. If the number goes up I’ll try to figure out […]

Very interesting. I keep saying high schools should be teaching basic life skills, not just English, history, science, and math. Bring back shop and home ec. Include banking investing,insurance, credit, things like that. Also some basic life skills such as how to change a flat tire, how to hang a ceiling fan, how to sew on a button, how to cook some basic meals, how to take care of a house and yard etc.
I actually took shop and home economics in HS and similar courses in college. Try to find a young person today who has taken similar courses. At least with the sheltering in place people are cooking more!
I can so relate. So many young people have absolutely no survival skills. They live their lives on their phones.
And are unable to function without a phone.
