Hair Dryer, Survival Kit and Keep Warm!

Here are some inexpensive ways for you to add insulation to you existing windows that will save you money on your next heating or air conditioning bill. You can add a layer of clear plastic to the inside of the window. This seals off any air leaks and traps a layer of insulating air at the window. Being clear it still lets in light and lets you see out. The first step of the job is to put the special two-sided sticky tape all around the window frame. What is special is that it sticks good, but you can peel it off easily too. If you put it on crooked, like I do, you can fix it without throwing it away and starting over. Next, hang an over sized sheet of the clear plastic on the sticky tape. Then the fun part, use a hair dryer to shrink it so it is tight and wrinkle free. Last step is to cut away the excess plastic film around the window frame to make a neat looking job. Do not use heat shrink film outdoors; it is made for indoor use only.

As the colder weather rolls in for many of us, deadly winter hazards are also on the rise. Protect yourself and your loved ones if you ever get stranded in your car in the cold by packing and carrying a winter survival kit in your backseat or trunk at all times. If you ever find yourself stranded in the middle of winter and your car won't start for whatever reason, having a winter survival kit could save your life. It is important to remember that you can get hypothermia even when it is not below freezing. In this electronic age most people think that getting stranded just can't happen to them. If your counting on a cell phone or other electronic gadget to save you in this situation, please remember that electronics fail, batteries die, and in some remote locations these gadgets just don't work.

Bright blue skies, blankets of snow, crisp days and cozy nights by a crackling fire. For many people, winter is a welcome time of year. But for people with certain diseases like arthritis, it can be a pain—literally. While cold weather doesn’t cause arthritis or most other conditions that get worse when temperatures drop, it can cause problems for people who have them. Weather affects different people differently. Some people actually prefer cold weather, but many people with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus will be stiffer in the morning. It can take them longer to get up and loosen their joints and get going. As the weather changes, so can the pressure in your joints. People can actually feel changes in air pressure in their joints, which is why some people say they can predict the weather by the pain in their joints. Do what you can to keep warm!
