Resolved Question: Is the glovebox of my car too hot to store my medications?

For convenience, I recently started putting some of my medications in my cars glovebox and kept most of the same medications inside also, as many of the them require two to three times a day administration and application. None of these over the counter and prescription medications impair my ability to drive, so please don't tamper off the question itself at all. The creams seem indicate that they'd like to stay stored below 25 c (77 f), and the tablets seem to indicate that they wouldn't mind a bit of extra heat and to keep stored at below 30 c (86 f). As I don't have a thermometer, I'm wondering if this is suitable, or if it would affect my topical and systemic medications negatively in some way? I also have a tube of sunscreen among them, not sure what it says, but it should take some heat as it is made for sun exposure, correct? The car is a large silver sedan, I virtually always have it parked outdoors in a car park or outside my house, usually in the sun, as it is summer where I live now. When I get in the car during the day, it is usually heated pretty darn bad, requiring the windows to be opened promptly but I'm not sure if the glovebox is less heated, or if the whole heat thing at this intensity is really all it is cracked up to be. If it turns out that I should not store them in my glovebox, would storing them in the boot of my car (or in between the seats) and zip them up inside one of those insulated lunch boxes be sufficient? Thank you for any help :)  more

Resolved Question: Peanut dispute at childs daycare?

I'm having a dispute with my child's daycare director and I am really frustrated. First off know I am a person of principle.....here's the story. We have our child at a YMCA daycare full time. The school does not provide meals, a fridge or a microwave. Parents are expected to pack lunches which by the way I have no problem with b/c we have been goint there for 21/2 years and there have never been any stioulations on what we can and can not bring. We use insulated lunches and ice packs if necessary but I always send peanut butter and jelly b/c it's one of the few things my DD will eat that doesn't require cooking or refridgeration. Occassionally I will send soup in a thermos or pasta but honestly pb&j is fast, easy and affordabe. Parents were told last week that they were not allowed to send ANY food containing peanuts as a new child was coming in w/a nut allergy. No granola, no PB&J, no nut butters of any sort. I confronted the director about it and she said they have to change for this family b/c of the ADA(Ameican w/Disabilities Act). So I asked the director to come up w/alternatives. Microwave, refridgerator or hot lunch options. Hot lunches are out b/c the facility can't meet the requirements the stat requires for food strorage. Kitchen etc. Going back to the comment about being a person of principle....why should almost 100 families have to change their ways b/c one child w/an allergy comes in to the school? Why should the YMCA be able to dictate what we send in our lunch boxes when they don't provide a meal and charge just as much as other schools that actually do provide meals! As a parent wouldn't you choose a daycare that was alreay a nutfree envrionment if this was your child?! I'm so irked righ now, can I hear some feedback from other mommies? In the meatime any lunch ideas that are fast and easy? My DD doesn't eat lunchmeat by the way or creamcheese so no pinwheels or anything like that! Thanks!  more

Resolved Question: any ideas with putting more veggies in the kids lunches?

My son just started kindergarten and he packs his lunch and I have been putting lettuce on the ham sandwiches (when he has them) and cutting up cucumbers and carrots sometimes. He wont eat celery even if it has cheese or peanut butter on it. (that's about the only veggie he wont eat) Any other ideas on putting veggies in the lunches? He does like salads but I'm not sure it would still be good after 4 1/2 hrs in the lunch box (its insulated) he doesn't like broccoli or cauliflower raw. I wish I had thought of getting him used to it before now. Peppers and tomatoes are a good idea. Those dehydrated veggies are pretty cool but pretty expensive. I may try them on occasion. Thanks everyone.  more

Resolved Question: How do you pack both cold and hot food in a lunchbox?

I've got an insulated lunchbox with a cold/hot pack... but I want to pack cold veggies along with a hot entree. The lunch bag has an expandable front pocket... if I just stick the veggies in there should they stay frozen or would the heat go through? If I use a cold pack in the front and a hot pack in the bottom, will it make my hot food not as warm? Keep in mind it's got to sit in the lunch box from 6:45 am to 12:15 pm. You people are suggesting I get a thermos... but I don't think you read the question. I want to keep food hot and cold, not liquids. example- hot spaghetti, cold salad.  more

Resolved Question: Please Help Me: I need some idea's on how to organize in Power Point With some nice Pictures?

I need help on finding gooe pictures for each of my ideas posted here; perhaps i can help you with something? i am in South Korea; just ask. I am doing a Power Point Presentation on Protect the Enviroment; and i have the following ideas; however i could use great help on pictures for each idea. Please help me? To Stop Global Warming (Protect our Environment) 1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl) CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. 2. Install a programmable thermostat Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you $100 a year on your energy bill. 3. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has more tips for saving energy on heating and cooling. 4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. 5. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most efficient models available. 6. Do not leave appliances on standby Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode. 7. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket You'll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. You can save another 550 pounds per year by setting the thermostat no higher than 50°C. 8. Move your fridge and freezer Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on their own. For example, if you put them in a hot cellar room where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is almost double and causes an extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges per year and 320kg for freezers. 9. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their predecessors. 10. Don't let heat escape from your house over a long period When airing your house, open the windows for only a few minutes. If you leave a small opening all day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during six cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in almost 1 ton of CO2 emissions. 11. Replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazing This requires a bit of upfront investment, but will halve the energy lost through windows and pay off in the long term. If you go for the best the market has to offer (wooden-framed double-glazed units with low-emission glass and filled with argon gas), you can even save more than 70% of the energy lost. 12. Get a home energy audit Many utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly insulated or energy inefficient. You can save up to 30% off your energy bill and 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy specialist. 13. Cover your pots while cooking Doing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%! 14. Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are full If you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting. There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures. 15. Take a shower instead of a bath A shower takes up to four times less energy than a bath. To maximise the energy saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and provide the same comfort. 16. Use less hot water It takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year) instead of hot. 17. Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible You can save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6 months out of the year. 18. Insulate and weatherize your home Properly insulating your walls and ceilings can save 25% of your home heating bill and 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Caulking and weather-stripping can save another 1,700 pounds per year. Energy Efficient has more information on how to better insulate your home. 19. Be sure you're recycling at home You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates. Earth 911 can help you find recycling resources in your area. 20. Recycle your organic waste Around 3% of the greenhouse gas emissions through the methane is released by decomposing bio-degradable waste. By recycling organic waste or composting it if you have a garden, you can help eliminate this problem! Just make sure that you compost it properly, so it decomposes with sufficient oxygen, otherwise your compost will cause methane emissions and smell foul. 21. Buy intelligently One bottle of 1.5l requires less energy and produces less waste than three bottles of 0.5l. As well, buy recycled paper products: it takes less 70 to 90% less energy to make recycled paper and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide. 22. Choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills when you can You will also cut down on waste production and energy use! 23. Reuse your shopping bag When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil. 24. Reduce waste Most products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g. during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch boxes. 25. Plant a tree A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%. The Arbor Day Foundation has information on planting and provides trees you can plant with membership. 26. Switch to green power In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar. The Green Power Network is a good place to start to figure out what's available in your area. 27. Buy locally grown and produced foods The average meal in the United States travels 1,200 miles from the farm to your plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community. 28. Buy fresh foods instead of frozen Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce. 29. Seek out and support local farmers markets They reduce the amount of energy required to grow and transport the food to you by one fifth. You can find a farmer's market in your area at the USDA website. 30. Buy organic foods as much as possible Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we'd remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere! 31. Eat less meat Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to produce methane, which they exhale with every breath. 32. Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possible Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year! Look for transit options in your area. 33. Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. eRideShare.com runs a free national service connecting commuters and travelers. 34. Don't leave an empty roof rack on your car This can increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10% due to wind resistance and the extra weight - removing it is a better idea. 35. Keep your car tuned up Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. When just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere. 36. Drive carefully and do not waste fuel You can reduce CO2 emissions by readjusting your driving style. Choose proper gears, do not abuse the gas pedal, use the engine brake instead of the pedal brake when possible and turn off your engine when your vehicle is motionless for more than one minute. By readjusting your driving style you can save money on both fuel and car mantainance. 37. Check your tires weekly to make sure they're properly inflated Proper inflation can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Since every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, every increase in fuel efficiency makes a difference! 38. When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle You can save 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year if your new car gets only 3 miles per gallon more than your current one. You can get up to 60 miles per gallon with a hybrid! You can find information on fuel efficiency on FuelEconomy and on GreenCars websites. 39. Try car sharing Need a car but don't want to buy one? Community car sharing organizations provide access to a car and your membership fee covers gas, maintenance and insurance. Many companies - such as Flexcar - offer low emission or hybrid cars too! Also, see ZipCar. 40. Try telecommuting from home Telecommuting can help you drastically reduce the number of miles you drive every week. For more information, check out the Telework Coalition. 41. Fly less Air travel produces large amounts of emissions so reducing how much you fly by even one or two trips a year can reduce your emissions significantly. You can also offset your air travel by investing in renewable energy projects. 42. Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home by actively encouraging other to take action. 43. Join the virtual march The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a non-political effort to bring people concerned about global warming together in one place. Add your voice to the hundreds of thousands of other people urging action on this issue. 44. Encourage the switch to renewable energy Successfully combating global warming requires a national transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. These technologies are ready to be deployed more widely but there are regulatory barriers impeding them. Take action to break down those barriers with Vote Solar. 45. Protect and conserve forest worldwide Forests play a critial role in global warming: they store carbon. When forests are burned or cut down, their stored carbon is release into the atmosphere - deforestation now accounts for about 20% of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Conservation International has more information on forests and global warming. 46. Consider the impact of your investments If you invest your money, you should consider the impact that your investments and savings will have on global warming. Check out SocialInvest and Ceres to can learn more about how to ensure your money is being invested in companies, products and projects that address issues related to climate change. 47. Make your city cool Cities and states around the country have taken action to stop global warming by passing innovative transportation and energy saving legislation. 194 cities nationwide representing over 40 million people have made this pledge as part of the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Find out how to make your city a cool city. 48. Tell Congress to act The McCain Lieberman Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act would set a firm limit on carbon dioxide emissions and then use free market incentives to lower costs, promote efficiency and spur innovation. Tell your representative to support it. 49. Make sure your voice is heard! Americans must have a stronger commitment from their government in order to stop global warming and implement solutions and such a commitment won't come without a dramatic increase in citizen lobbying for new laws with teeth. Get the facts about U.S. politicians and candidates at Project Vote Smart and The League of Conservation Voters. Make sure your voice is heard by voting!  more

What, no laptop too? $125 Canadian! Mommy of Marc, I truly respect the teachers and all that they do, I volunteer in the school and are aware of the issues that the teachers have with a school board's budget. However, how many tools are needed to colour? Neon crayons??? While I can afford these items, I wonder how the families with limited income feel when faced with all this excess! It's setting some kids up to be without, while others scrounge the stores measuring tubs with a tape measure! *Smooch to Vegas!*  more

Resolved Question: Help with lunchbox foods in the heat?

Hi all. This is my husbands first summer driving a delivery truck. I pack his lunch for him everyday, but we've run into some problems. The food is going bad before he can eat it! Not a good thing. The fact that his truck has no A/C doesn't help (it's over 100 most days here in Vegas). I pack his lunch in a 16-can sized insulated soft cooler. Lunch usually consists of assorted plastic containers filled with cut up fruit, a salad with no dressing, trail mix (to snack on), and an entree or two (baked potatoe, pasta, grain pilaff, etc). He eats no dairy, so I don't include it in anything in the box. We are having the most difficulty with the fruits and salads. In the luchbox there is also 3-4 .5L bottles filled with fresh juices and/or chilled water. I also put in 4 or more frozen .5L bottles of water to keep things cool (as space allows). Any suggestions on what to do? Would a hard-sided cooler make a difference? Anyone out there been in a similar situation?  more
