E-mails sent out about posts

Apparently the post was sent out without my knowledge...sorry I forgot there was an option for that! For those who do not wish to be disturbed, I investigated and removed the setting. If you do want to be diverted however, just visit the blog or I can add your email and be your newsletter! I am newsworthy clearly since I think I am important enough to have blog in the first place! Yeesh, are people narcissitc or what?!

Where Do All Roads Lead To?

I chose to start this blog, to keep in touch with family and friends. It's hard to keep in touch when no one is in your line of sight. I hope you will enjoy reading my thoughts, grumpiness, adventures, random ideas and contemplations and jolly jives!   This month, I am applying for jobs in the environmental field while taking classes, working two jobs (that don’t pay mucho) and figuring out my life. IT SUCKS MONKEY A$$! Why have I not been hired yet? Maybe I am not applying to the right places, maybe I don’t know what I really want, or maybe I am not ready yet.

They are running away from life, escaping it. They must have been leading miserable, awful lives back home, or experienced a traumatic event that made them want to never look back. People assume that people who travel long term are running away from problems, from the inevitability of life. My own family and friends have asked me "Are you su

Water Bodies

This entry is a continuation of my October 12th entry “Water Bottles Are No Good”. The information below can be found in full in: Bottled Water: How drinking tap water can help save you and the planet by Lucie Wanctin for Sustain: The Alliance for Better Food and Farming .  How much water should we drink? The advice given is to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the drinking quantity needed depends on your age, physical activity, your diet, health, and gender. The recommended volume of water (which can also be absorbed though foods and other beverages) required for hydration, based on the WHO is: Female Adult: 2.2 litres/day Male Adult: 2.9 litres/day Children: 1.0 litre/day Manual labour in high temperature: Female Adult: 4.5 litres/day  Male Adult: 4.5 litres/day Children: 4.5 litres/day Pregnancies/Lactation: 4.8 litres/day; 3.3 litres/day respectively Where is water from and what is in it?
