		<description><![CDATA[Like many folks, I took health and well-being for granted in my younger years, and being raised in the middle-class American Midwest, I took many &#8220;modern necessities&#8221; for granted, as well; frozen dinners, soda pop, all manner of automated gadgetry to make life ostensibly either easier or more convenient. As it turns out, a lot [...]]]></description>

If you have additional questions you&#8217;d like me to ask him, I bet he&#8217;d be happy to expand on the information here. He relays many personal experiences here, and and gives good advice.

		<description><![CDATA[Good morning, everyone. It seems many of my readers (and many of the bloggers I follow) are increasingly concerned with reducing the amount of chemicals in their lives. This gave me the idea of interviewing my friend, Peter Haynes, who has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS,) a severe reaction to chemicals in his environment that may [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s gorgeous and sunny out, completely, spectacularly beautiful at a balmy 18 degrees F. Fortunately, Mike&#8217;s mom got me some CuddleDuds for Christmas, and wowsers &#8211; these things are warm. I could probably turn the heat in the house [...]]]></description>

At noon, we&#8217;ll see how the stench level is. I used a base of rock salt crystal, then put on the deod, finally applying a light layer of cornstarch.
