Isn’t it worse when a disease could have been prevented?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

One of the problems with technological disease creations like Mesothelioma is that it just wasn’t appreciated at the time that working with things like asbestosis would subsequently cause all kinds of incurable diseases.

Although it sounds obvious to us that having loads of asbestosis fibres knocking around your workplace and home isn’t a good idea, that was the best solution available at the time. Even now, there are many people who have ironing boards with those little asbestosis panels for the iron. Have you even thought about that? I know that we didn’t until we tried to get rid of ours and it ain’t so easy to do.

Similarly, it seems laughable that various extremely harmful products were openly advertised as not only being something that you should buy, but as things that you should buy because they were good for your health. It might sound crazy but not so long ago that was the case with cigarettes. Look at a film from the 1950s and it’s quite staggering how many of the characters were smoking.

One wonders what “safe” product we all use will have major league health problems in the years to come. My bet is that mobile phones will be figuring in the legal claims in a few decades time but I’m sure there’ll be other equally dangerous products around at the moment.

Getting rid of those pesky wrinkles

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

One of the hassles of getting older is that you start having to look for the best wrinkle serum to try and get rid of those pesky wrinkles.

Sadly, it’s not, yet, possible to actually remove the wrinkles but that will come in due course as there’s a growing tide of money looking into this issue as one would expect given the changing global demographics.

In the meantime though, it’s the most unintrusive cover that you need to look for.

Is working from home really viable these days?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

With the economy being in the doldrums there’s an awful lot of people out there basically twiddling their thumbs whilst waiting for the next job opening to appear.

It doesn’t have to be like that though as the number of ways to earn extra income from home has exploded in recent years. The mix of opportunities has changed quite dramatically too. No longer is the “pin money” something just for the bored housewife but rather it’s for everyone.

Startup costs are minimal to non-existent too which is handy in this cash-strapped economy. That in turn means that there’s little or no downside in trying out a number of potential opportunities as most of the time your initial commitment will be extremely low.

So, what’s stopping you?
