    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday I could tell I've mostly kicked whatever this is because the cold wind chilled me slightly on the outside but didn't leave me feeling chilled to the bone. I still have stuffy sinuses but it's moved past the phase of being sick with it and into the phase of being sick of it. At this...

    Best Humidifier?

    Technically I suppose it's just adding sodium to the mixture. If you have calcium carbonate in your water and treat it with sodium chloride you'd end up with sodium carbonate and calcium chloride, which are both soluble in water. When a softener cycles it dumps a load of stuff out of its drain...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I think I've come down with much the same thing. I thought it was just a bit of sinus trouble but wasn't feeling great yesterday and still not feeling great. Yesterday I bundled up and dragged myself around enough of my walk to get 10,000 steps - I cut it short because I didn't need the full...

    Best Humidifier?

    These are good points. You could look to get a water softener to remove the hardness, or use bottled water so you don't get all the gunk. For what it's worth the air washer I described earlier is an evaporative device. It blows air over water in the fins which naturally washes dust out of the...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday I did a walk because we had a friend over and ended up having a late lunch, and I didn't have time to let lunch digest before running because we also had a dinner invitation. Today and tomorrow will probably also be walks because we're expecting gale force winds, and I really don't...

    Best Humidifier?

    Many years ago I had an air washer that worked very well. It was essentially a big stack of plastic circles with fins on them that rotated through a bath of water, and had a fan blowing air down over the whole mechanism. The idea was that it washed dust, pollen etc out of the air and naturally...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I did another slow run today. I'm getting better at running slowly although it still feels like a constant battle against the urge to increase the pace. One newly acquired issue is that I've developed a desire to run hard at the hills to get them over with, but that's not a good way to keep my...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Curious, I've never seen one of those before (the image came through fine, thanks!) I'm not sure how many hooks I'd need to put into ceiling joists to be able to support the weight of the radiator without them ripping out of the joists and I'd need a pretty heavy duty rope to take the weight of...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    When you refer to a come along, what does that look like? I'm wondering if it's a contraption I haven't come across or if I'd call it something else. The gist of the problem is a radiator, maybe 18 inches square and nearly six feet wide, standing on six legs that rest on small wooden plinths...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    The last few days have been too cold or windy to run so I walked my regular loop. Today my suggested workout was VO2 max intervals but I didn't feel like doing that (truth be told I didn't feel like running at all today) so I made an effort to keep my speed down. I've been struggling with that...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I considered laying it down but that requires a lot of control. Wheel width isn't something I can change because I'm using pre-made wheeled platforms. I tried making my own but the wheels I can get are either so big I can't hoist the radiator high enough to get them into place, or too weak to...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I managed to get the radiator onto wheeled platforms, kinda sorta. It's not very stable and given it weighs more than I do by quite a margin I'd rather it was more stable before I try and wheel it. I set some pieces of old ceiling tile underneath it, in the hope that the middle of it would...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I managed to undo the pipes from the radiator, and moved all the wood from the top of it so that's now stacked elsewhere. Now I just need to figure out how to move the radiator... Bible study group tonight, so it's not happening just yet.

    Good foods and bad foods that change to good?

    If something is natural it's probably better than something artificial. Eat things in moderation. I sometimes wonder how we survived as a species for so long without the experts offering their endless blatherings about how we should eat this much of this and so much of that and not have...

    Your reaction when friend changes denomination/religion?

    I've never really identified with a particular denomination so that wouldn't worry me, although I'd be interested to know what prompted the change. I suppose it would also depend on whether the person had specifically changed denomination or simply started attending a church that was associated...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    So far the work I did sealing some gaps in my latest work space seems to be helping a lot. There are a couple more gaps I found but it's hard to figure out how to physically get at them. I don't think many of them will make a huge difference but there is one I can mostly get at that will make a...

    If you have a lot of pregnant friends that's possible. I don't think we have any friends who have any expectations of pregnancy.

    Should you convince a friend to seek therapy?

    I don't know it's about "strong of mind", I think anyone can see it's like a pendulum swinging. The bit I find most remarkable is that politics has become so tribal people truly believe their party will make anything better. As it stands it seems a two-party system just takes money from the...

    What are you eating? - Part 2

    No need to save them. My wife and I had a friend over for coffee this morning and she made some muffins for the three of us. If you can get a tin of pumpkin you can make them. They've become a go-to for my wife to make so we can have them with afternoon coffee.

    There is that. I'm not aware of any of our more regular guests being particularly heavy on the paper, but always best to have some in reserve just in case.
