Oh yeah, it's time. If you plan on gardening this year, better get your seeds early. I ordered my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds last night. Find out why this isn't your average seed catalog.
What you give is what you get.
In this post I share about my experience on how I'm trying to help others and how it has actually turned to help me in return as well.
Why don't you share a similar experience you've had?
It was announced this week that the Royal College of Physicians in Britain is urging lawmakers to pass a ban on smoking in cars, citing the dangers of second hand smoke to passengers. And they're not just talking about the risk of developing cancer, but the effects of smoke that lead to respiratory infections, ear infections, asthma attacks and even SIDS in babies. All of these preventable effects put more financial strain on an already taxed health care system.
A short musing on why I think the We Buy Any Car advert is fantastic and there marketing director can happily ignore anyone who doesn't think it's up to much
In stunning large-format photographs, Edward Burtynsky follows the path of oil through modern society, from wellhead to pipeline to car engine — and then beyond to the projected peak-oil endgame.
The 40th Anniversary of the very first Earth Day is approaching... the world is in greater peril than ever. Earth Day 2010 is being touted as a pivotal opportunity for individuals, corporations and governments to join together and create a global green economy.

If you don't trust someone else changing your oil in your car, then read this article so you can get a picture of how to do it yourself. This article can be used for many other cars too, but it is mainly written for a Subaru Forester 2003. It explains how to change oil in this car and an oil filter. After you are done it will make you feel better about yourself too :)
The smell of petrol likes to lots of people, there is something that gives its distinctive odour that some of us love. However, don’t spend too much time sniffing petrol since it is highly toxic. It is composed of benzene, ethylbenzene, xylene, toluene and other hydrocarbons. All those chemicals are hazardous for your health. Intoxicating yourself through the inhalation of petrol can cause severe physical, cognitive, and psychological impairment, particularly due to the role it plays in the selective degeneration of deep white matter and cerebellar structures.
www.petrolsmell.com wants to be a technical but at the same time interesting automotive blog. We will not be covering the news in the automotive world, there are plenty of other bloggers who do that. Our challenge is to learn, yes LEARN.
I recently wrote an article entitled: "Fair Trade vs. Sweatshops" which got such a response from the average person, I felt it worth posting here. A lot of people have heard about Fair Trade and may even know a little about it, but not many know that it is active in the fight against sweatshops and the exploitation of workers, mostly women and children.
Why Rear-Face Longer? As you might have noticed, Facebook has been a bit bombarded by crazy people talking about how babies should stay rear-facing until at least age 2 (gasp! the nerve! the horror! how dare they!).
Why are the crazy people doing this? Why am I crazy? Why is my nearly 14-month old still backwards in her carseat? Won't she break her legs?
My husband and I are starting to think our vacations are cursed. And so does our insurance carrier. In fact, they've even written a special coverage exclusion clause ... just for us and our cursed cars.
In my latest humor column, I relate some of our vacation adventures ... and misadventures. Not to mention, the craziness of my life with my hubby Mark.
