This article is more about how to prevent passing out, and how to recognize when you should stop exercising. With this title, I thought it would be more focused on the symptoms and signs of chronic fatigue, muscle strains, stress fractures, and and/or joint problems - common injuries to people who exercise regularly.

On #7, literary references may play a part, but reading hugely expands your vocabulary. Typically, we adapt to our social environment and pick up the language of those we spend time with, and it is the same for books.

Honestly, as silly as you look, you can often turn your head to the side (ear toward the ground), and hop to get water out. You can also buy alcohol-based "swimmer's ear" products that find the water and then dry it up. I've done both and been without swimmer's ear for years.

Ask anyone who suffers the summer heat and the winter cold each year and you'll learn that while you do adapt, it's temporary. The first spring day that it's 55 degrees F for the first time in 6-8 weeks or longer, everyone starts to put on shorts and skirts again. But after a hot, humid summer with temperatures…

Similarly, I took a smooth river rock to do this, and then wrapped it in a cotton shirt (won't melt), and cuddled it like a teddy all night. Another alternative is to heat up water and throw it in a nalgene bottle to cuddle with. The water loses heat a little quicker, but both help get that initial chill off when…

....unless you're backpacking. Then find the lightest darn boots you can find for the performance you need.

Just be sure to change your clothes. As was cited in the article, dressing warmly often leads to some sweat when you are active. If you have damp-ish underlayers, the moisture can make you feel cooler. I usually take 2 sets of base layers with me, and wear one at night (and that's it), and the other during the day.…

This happens with my husband. I just want to vent about something stupid and frustrating at work, and he comes up with a list of solutions that are helpful, but not really what I was looking for.

I read/heard somewhere that you have to set your own goals or you'll be working toward someone else's. Having that mindset has completely changed things for me. I've started perceiving people with their agendas, and I work to see how people can help advance my own agenda as well. Then, together we can work on…

I started asking for what I wanted. It's hard to say that people are denying you of something you want if you've asked them, but often times we expect to get things without being explicit. Tell your spouse how you want to be loved, ask for a chance to do certain tasks at work, tell that friend that you need some…

From many of the arguments, it seems that most would argue that the school should throw their dress code away or they should have air conditioning. So if the school did have air conditioning, would that make mid-drifts and tiny shorts suddenly inappropriate attire? But having mid-drifts and tiny shorts when it is…

Any time you paint, having a damp white lint-free cloth (like t-shirts are made of) is key for those 'oh crap' moments when you get paint somewhere you shouldn't. I have bumped the ceiling with the roller, dripped on trim, and all kinds of things, and a clean damp cloth will wipe it right up.

My husband never cares where we eat... Except he doesn't eat a lot of carbs, wants some lean options, and nutrition facts. He is such a bad liar.

I am curious if you read the info graphic.. It is about making the most of being an introvert, not about changing your personality. Specifically, it gives an explanation that social activities give people bumps in happiness, and then gives substitutes, in the event you don't actually want to have frequent social…

I'm not sure what your patio is like, but you may want to consider a potted vine of some kind, and then train it to a trellis, that will ultimately provide more shade.

So, in plant and gardening terms, you need plants that require low light or 8+ hours of direct sunlight. This may be difficult in LA, but the best plants for full sun will be plants native to the area, that would get full sun in the wild. I'm in Missouri, so they definitely won't be similar!

On #3, I'd add that adding an inch of small-ish rock at the bottom of any pot is a great way to prevent the "swamp" from drowning your plant's roots. If you don't have rocks around, another good solution is the green scouring pads. They take up some room and allow the plant to store water below the root-filled soil.…

A lot of these plants may do well without a lot of water, but some are in dire need of sunlight! Lucky Bamboo, for example, can grow in the darkest bathroom, as long as it is watered, but Jade will die quickly without lots of sunlight. I had a nice Christmas Cactus (also not a true cactus) on my bookshelf in my…

Well, be careful where you drop paperclips! Really though, I think you are correct that electrical codes are instituted on location only. It's weird to have a preference for something as mundane as an outlet, but I actually like them "right side up", so they look like a face. =o

Newer buildings place outlets with the ground at the top, as general code, so this may not work in the future. The reason being is pretty simple: If a plug is not pushed in all of the way, and the 2 parallel pieces are on top, it is very simple to drop something conductive, like a paperclip, across them, and short…
