What can't a red solo cup do?

I really struggle with this. People have to be responsible for their own safety and behave appropriately for the situation. They have to own the consequences of their actions and realize that they DO affect other people. When other people are endangered, they get a say in what is and is not permitted.

I agree mostly with chiwaw agreeing mostly with John Crane. It is fun to talk about what you would do with all the money and how to keep from being on "How The Lottery Ruined My Life." It gives you insight to what matters most to people (family, charity, hobbies/passions) if they had the resources. It is fun to spend…

So sorry about your house fire, absurdist81.

Good point, calrostmpl.

Spot on, Boter!

Another good reason to thoroughly review all your bills (especially credit cards) is that thieves will put a small charge on your account to see if it is disputed (usually $20ish dollars). If you do not catch it, call the credit card company, and dispute it, then the thieves will start racking up more charges. The…

Mr Safety and I do this! I thought we were OCD (not that there's anything wrong with it). This also catches any mending that is needed so we can either do it then or change what we are going to wear. It so nice to have this drama out of the way. Mornings are so much nicer for Mr Safety without me freaking out and…

I've always done this but now I use ColorNotes, a free app on my DroidX, instead of yet another piece of paper in my purse. It allows me to add, delete, rearrange items (in the same order as the aisle layouts at the store), and it is handy when I use the last of something to just open the app and "uncross" it from the…

This.

I'd like people to just pay attention while they cook (and keep kids and pets at least three feet from stoves, grills, fryers, etc.). Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home fire injuries. (sorry if this shows up as a duplicate post - internet is wonky today)

I like that but I'd be afraid I'd snag my clothes or scratch myself and fall off. I'm a bit clumsy. Ironic for someone in a safety career.

yaylo - not sure where you get your facts. The New York Times reported in July 1914, that, "[n]otwithstanding all the talk of a probable exodus of manufacturing interests, the commission has not found a single case of a manufacturer intending to leave the State because of the enforcement of the factory laws." New…

Eat. Less. Move. More.

John - You made me LOL. Back in the day, I had a car that only had an AM radio and I remember a cheesey PSA (like there are any others): It's "Smokey Bear" not "Smokey the Bear." You don't say "Easter the Bunny" do you?

Losing a wallet or having a purse stolen is horrible. I've had it happen, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (well, maybe the worst). I've been the victim of a stalker so I would immediately change the locks on the house, and my uber paranoia would be off the charts (much to the chagrin of MrSafety).

I wouldn't leave eggs out 7-9 hours before using them. From [eggsafety.org] "Maintaining a consistent, cool temperature is critical to safety. After eggs are refrigerated, it is important that they stay that way. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs…

Yes, this is a great tool! Depending on your local Lowes, they can help you dispose of all the leftover paint cans, arosols, etc. My local one works with the state environmental agency and helps collect hazardous waste from households.

You design it, I'll buy it! All I have to do is show the spray bottles to my cats and they back off (until I leave the room and then they are right back to doing whatever it is they know they are not supposed to do).

Yeah except you shouldn't do anything but DRIVE while you drive. If you drive properly (say via the SMITH system), you won't have time to do anything else except check all your mirrors every three seconds, leave at least three seconds between you and the car in front of you, leave yourself an "out" in all directions,…
