To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

Growing concern over the world's disappearing natural habitats isn't a distant problem, and there are easy ways consumers can take a stand. A new video released by environmental activists explores the issue of palm oil, which is found in half of all the products we buy -- from cookies to shampoos -- and is linked to the destruction of one of the world's most important tropical rainforests.
The pet insurer Pet Plan detailed on its blog how to read the nutrition label on pet food. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a cat person to my core. (I definitely like cats more than I like people.) Thus, I believe that cats -- that pets generally -- deserve care on par with that of other family members. This includes quality of food.

I'm guessing my fear of heights would really kick in up there.

Found a couple of things that may be worthwhile on The Huffington Post. One is a solution of rubbing alcohol to melt windshield ice quickly and the other is an ice preventative for roof gutters. There are two videos that I'm unable to link. FYI. 13 January 2016
