    The dangers of fragrance

    Since it is so long, found a little blurb about it at IMDB: "Stink!" opens with a foul smell and a pair of kids pajamas. And a single father trying to find out what that smell could possibly be. But instead of getting a straight answer, director Jon Whelan stumbles on an even bigger issue in...

    The Microplastic Invasion: microplastics can cross placental and brain barriers.

    Probably. There are probably 100 more things we can do. Plain wood floors or tile would be better.

    The Microplastic Invasion: microplastics can cross placental and brain barriers.

    I use one too, but I'm not about to boil it before I put it in the pitcher. I just checked on line and found that Brita has a Elite filter that is supposed to take out microplastics. I have only been buying the standard filters at Walmart. But Walmart also has the Elite filters. They cost a lot...

    The Microplastic Invasion: microplastics can cross placental and brain barriers.

    It doesn't magically reduce them. Basically minerals in some tap water can capture tiny plastic particles when the water is boiled, making them easier to filter away, according to a new study. So, the plastic and other junk is still there. You have to filter it out. Boiling it causes the...

    Antenna TV ... Tablo to be exact

    I think you are asking how to get the stuff on your small tablet to show up on your large flat screen TV. If your tablet is fairly new, it should have the ability to send everything out as a WiFi signal. My phone (android) has a setting called "cast." This allows me to cast what is on the phone...

    Antenna TV ... Tablo to be exact

    I live about 35 miles (straight line) from one large city and the same distance from another large city and went out and bought a $100 antenna on a pole on the roof. Even bought a antenna rotator so could turn it towards each city. Didn't really work that good. Have a lot of trees that block...

    Microsoft word 2021. Use it?

    I bought refurbished Windows 98 laptop years ago and it came with a Word 2000 on it. I have since installed it on a Windows XP and it works. What I like is it doesn't have to be online. I stupidly gave the cd away when I gave the computer to somebody else, otherwise I would try installing it on...
