Home Safety for Seniors

admin — Fri, 04 May 2012 17:31:29 +0000

I believe that there are a few things that must be looked at when we learn about senior home safety. I believe that the most important thing to have is a working phone. If a senior is not easily mobile, or has a condition that prevents them from yelling loudly, a phone might be the one thing that can save their life. Another item I believe every senior should have is a panic button. Many companies manufacture these devices in the form of wristbands, and with the push of a button help will be en route. These are just a couple of the many ways that you can make a seniors home safer for them.

Fire Protection for Kids

Parents should be taking on the responsibility of obtaining fire protection for kids. Mainly in the home, I think it is important that parents protect their children from the dangers that a fire can bring by laying down ground rules about how to evacuate in the case of a fire and also how to operate a fire extinguisher if the fire is small enough and they are in their early teens. In addition to placing fire extinguishers around the home, another solid investment to make would be fire blankets that can be easily accessed in case of a fire emergency.

Fire Escape Alternatives

The term “fire escape” often evokes the metal structures found on the sides of apartment buildings in major cities. While these metalworks may provide a romantic setting for declarations of love in movies like “West Side Story,” they are not typically considered aesthetic architectural enhancements. Codes in many cities and neighborhood prohibit them. They’re not pretty, but they’re durable, reliable, and fire-resistant. In the event of a fire in a building with two or more stories, residents must have a means of exiting safely. Elevators will often stop working once an alarm sounds. Exit stairs in public buildings are required to be enclosed by fire-resistant material, but this may not be the case in private homes. A good alternative is the rope fire escape ladder. It stores easily, hooks onto a window sill, and provides sturdy, safe descent when stairs are blocked. Two- and three-story models are available from $75.00 to $150 at your hardware or home-improvement store.

Sports store

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 03:13:54 +0000

I would love to have giant sports store at my disposal. So I can both run it and make money and do whatever sport I feel like doing whenever I want. I love sports and like to do as many as possible. So with a store full of equipment I will never ever get bored. Of course this store should be the biggest store ever seen with every piece of equipment available for any existing sport. The funny thing is that this dream might be realized or at least a part of it. I might start working in a normal sports store and work my way up. And who knows, maybe in a few year my dream becomes reality.

Marilyne

No not the singer that passed away some time ago already. Marilyne is the name of my girl. We are together for quite some time now and she is very dear to me. After a series of bad relationships I finally feel like I found the woman I can share a happy future with. She often tells me she feels the same way and that makes our bond even stronger. Many people come to us to complement us on our relationship. They say we are an example for the world. I hope this relationship lasts. Because it really changed me as a person.

Scouting

Scouting must be one of my best and best remembered childhood memories. Every Sunday I hang out with my friends and we did all kinds of crazy stuff. The meetings where always awesome. Playing games out in the woods or being creative with materials indoors when it rained. Also the holidays and weekends when we packed our bags and made big trips far away from where we usually came. Friends from back then are still close friends today even though I haven’t been to anything related to scouting in the past five years. Those are real good memories I’ll never forget.

Baseball

I am a huge baseball fan and play it myself too. I don’t play it that long, only from my 15 years old. Most people start at six or even earlier. But I am really in love with this game. I like to both watch and play it. I usually play second base and pitcher. But I like to play the outfield too. Our team is currently leading in the standings! I don’t really root for a big league team. I used to be a big Red Sox fan, but I kind of lost interested in them. Without baseball I would be a different person.

Mash and Meatballs

admin — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:10:53 +0000

Last night I ate mashed potatoes and meatballs. The potatoes where flavoured with a little parsley to give it a lighter, fresher taste. The meatballs where prepared following an old ‘granny recipe’ but why change something that works perfectly and tastes very good. As starter there was a light soup from vegetables and a little chicken. After dinner I had a real Italian tiramisu and a piece of fruit. I like my dinner healthy and simple. No fancy things and no unhealthy fast food. A healthy and happy life starts with a healthy, balanced meal. Tonight it’s pasta with tomato sauce.

How a small group of people causes a big amount of problems

admin — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:10:33 +0000

It was inevitable, a small group of people in charge of more then they, apparently, can handle. It had to go wrong. Selfishness and egocentrism got to their heads and the only thing they could think about was how to make themselves even richer then they already are. Now the working class has to pay for their mistakes. The working class has to fear for their jobs and income. While the people who caused these problems live on like they lived before. In my opinion this is a big shame. But an unimportant individual like me couldn’t change anything.

Your Safety Plan

admin — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 06:27:23 +0000

In an organization of any size, understanding safety procedures is of utmost importance. Before operations begin, management should have a plan in place that communicates steps to be taken to prevent, control and react to emergencies of all types. Fire safety is one of the most basic areas where such planning should be the focus. A safety plan will allow all personnel to be familiar with the layout of the building, how to exit from it in an orderly manner, and how best to be protected from such events as fires, chemical spills and accidents. Functions in an emergency should be determined and analyzed, and the names of individuals present should be assigned to these various functions. For example, the operations manager may be assigned to perform head counts if an evacuation is called for. The shop supervisor may be the person who coordinates fire drills or summons emergency personnel. Whatever the plan, it should be in writing. The safety coordinator or fire warden signs off on the plan, which is communicated effectively to employees at regularly scheduled safety training meetings.
