Today we’re just doing little things and facts that range from interesting to helpful and all points in between.

 

 

1.  DAMPNESS:      Use an exhaust fan to vent your laundry room.        Keep your kitchen window open and use   an exhaust fan when cooking or boiling water.                                                                                      Hang a dessicant (moisture-absorbent chemical) near damp areas in small spaces like closets .  (usually sold in area with pain and hardware)                                                                                                                                               Install a dehumidifier                                                                                                        If part of the exterior wall is damp get rid of nearby branches and shrubs to increase airflow and increase exposure to sunshine.

2.  SISSORS:  It is most likely that scissors were invented around 1500 BC in ancient Egypt.^[1] The earliest known scissors appeared in Mesopotamia 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. These were of the ‘spring scissor’ type comprising two bronze blades connected at the handles by a thin, flexible strip of curved bronze which served to hold the blades in alignment, to allow them to be squeezed together, and to pull them apart when released…. pivoted scissors of bronze or iron, in which the blades were pivoted at a point between the tips and the handles, the direct ancestor of modern scissors, were invented by the Romans around AD100.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scissors

 

 

 

 

3.   Outdoor Safety:                                                                                                           If you are caught outdoors in a thunderstorm, follow these tips to stay safe until the storm passes:

• If you are in an open area, find a low place
• If you are in a forested area, find shelter in a low area under a thick growth of small trees, if possible.
• If you are on open water, get to land immediately and seek shelter.
• If you are in a car, keep the windows closed.
• If you are outdoors and feel your hair stand on end (an indication that lightning is about to strike),… squat low to the ground and place your hands over your ears and your head between your knees. … the smallest target possible and minimize contact with the ground.
• Stay away from anything made of metal ”“ bicycles, golf clubs, golf carts, motorcycles, tractors and farm equipment.
• Stay away from natural lightning rods, such as a tall tree in an open field, and avoid hilltops, the beach or boats on open water.
