Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Tips To Prevent Electrical Injuries From Home

By Christine C. Brooks


We all want to keep our family safe especially when they are inside our home. Our kids stay at home while we go to work and leave them there with all the electrical appliances that might cause accidents like shock and fire. Leaving them inside is a huge risk which is why you should know how to prevent accidents with electricity from happening to your home.

Keep your appliances in a dry place where they are out of reach from your children. Store them away from the children and away from rats that might chew on the cords and create accidents when they are plugged.

Always do a regular checkup on all of your appliances to see which ones are functioning properly and which ones are in need of repair. If you do find items that need repairs, have them over at the shop before anything happens to it.

Gather your children and tell them that when they want to use the appliance, they must ask for permission from you or your partner or someone older. And if they must touch the appliance, they need to do so with dry hands to avoid problems.

Use extension cords wisely. Extension cords can greatly help you when there aren't enough sources to come by but they are also a great threat to your safety when they are overused. Have them checked out.

Install electric outlet covers. Children will tend to explore things around the house and touch things that might be potentially dangerous. Outlets are one of them and by installing covers, you protect your children from harm.

Accidents happen and if your appliance is underneath water, never ever take it out from the water especially if it is still on. You will get shocked and might cost you your life. It is much better that you unplug the appliance first before you take it out.

Put down all the means possible to prevent electrical accidents on a piece of paper and explain it to everyone inside the house even the children. Make sure that they get a copy each or you can put the list on the refrigerator.
