You know you have a lot of free time when you find yourself researching the relative safety of cosmetic ingredients before buying a product:

http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient/706089/SODIUM_LAURETH_SULFATE/
And the conclusion is - if you want a safe hygiene product you've got to do it yourself.
Yeah, yeah, I know, everybody hates health nuts!
But I'm not one! I just try to minimize the harm where I can do it without giving up any pleasures so that I have more health to waste with harmful stuff that I really enjoy
For example, I won't use trans fats when baking (or ever), but while in a restaurant I might have a piece of cake knowing it most likely contains those fats.
Not that I want to live long, just that I don't want to be less healthy already. Having poor health sucks. And costs a lot. So if you are ruining your health, do it for something that's worth it.

My relative tells me I'll be the healthiest guy in the cemetery, which is true I guess, haha. But like you said, its about minimizing pain in the present, something many people fail to recognize. Good post.

Hahahaha! Never heard this expression! I'm only minimizing the pain where there's relatively no gain. |

What do you think about smoking and tobacco use?

I smoked a delicious water-pipe yesterday night. I've payed for it with some bit of my health but it was worth it. Cigarettes though... I've quit them. Again)))) They aren't really worth the price, they're just addictive shit. Although I've tried Marlboro Lights brought from the States once - they were good. All the rest is basically rubbish, even the priciest brands in Ukraine taste like crap. Of course, they're also pretty cheap, like 2 dollars a pack for 'Parliament' and such. Last time I've been smoking I've only used apple or strawberry-flavoured cigarettes. They somewhat resemble water-pipe and smell nice but they're also made of some cheap tobacco. I thought I'd quit wasting my health on that. Water-pipe once in a few weeks is fine though. P.S. Still can't send emails to you, you know? Gotta contact my inet provider and ask them to open some ports for my own SMTP servers instead of theirs. |
