17. Staying cool and avoiding heat illness. A huge issue in recent years (just in general). Travel at night, not during the day. Stay in the shade. Drink often, know when you are hydrated/dehydrated. 11/x #disasters #DisasterPreparedness #heatwaves #HeatIllness #dehydration

There was a visible relief when I said I was going down the way they wanted to come up. ‘The short way’.

The dad was getting cramps in his thighs & knees. I fed him electrolytes, gave him 1 walking stick for his one hand.

We double checked where they had parked & set off. Slowly downwards.

No rush, plenty of rest & water stops, we got them down safely. While at the car a paraglider flew over. 🧵3

Be careful with your water consumption. Don’t overdo it! https://goodmorningamerica.com/amp/wellness/story/family-speaks-after-35-year-woman-dies-water-102016903 #waterintoxication #dehydration #drinkingwater

Here we go again!

#PSA / #PHA re. #Heat:

If you see people, espechally seniors, that seem fainting, disoriented, dizzy or frightened:

They may suffer a [light] #heatstroke, #hyperthermia or suffer from #dehydration.

If concious offer them a comfy seat in the shade and some cool [not ice-cold, but tap-cold] non-sparkling water.

A lot of seniors drink way too much and such simple remediations can help avoid the need to call an ambulance!

Thanks for sharing!

Honey bees are well known to drink water, but yesterday in Tucson our @USDA_NIFA funded team studying #climate sensitivity of #urban bees observed a furrow #bee drinking from moist soil. #Dehydration may be an under-recognized danger for wild urban bees.

Had a very strange and scary physical episode today. Weak hands and arms, confused thinking, headache, unsteady on my feet. Thought I was having a stroke. Turned out to be dehydration. Be careful out there folks, summer is here in some parts of the country. #dehydration #weak #ER

@ptec3d That's quite the mission statement, but one I believe is shared by many (myself included). Further: it's a mission statement that we'll all have to adopt if we want a liveable planet.

Not sure what I have to offer at this moment, except words of support...

I despise the throwaway culture which has been imposed upon us by Big Business/Big Packaging/Big Oil, and I firmly believe wasting food is a crime against humanity. As such, I've taught myself a bit about preserving food - specifically #lactofermentation and #dehydration - in a small effort to keep my fruits/vegies from just feeding the lorikeets, or simply rotting where they fall. It is a practice that only benefits me and a few friends & family members, but sharing my limited knowledge and experience with others *might* be useful in the bigger picture? It's all stuff you can find on the internet anyway, so the offer is possibly redundant.

Anyway, those are my thoughts for now. Stay tuned: I might have more.

Cheers!

Advice: Two More Thoughts

I do not just give perspectives on money. There are some valuable life lessons to be learned as well, with some helpful commentary

Over the past few days I went 26 hours without a meal, at which point ex-boyf stepped in, came over and cooked some pasta. Then another 49 hours without a meal. In the past 13 weeks I have averaged exactly one day/week with no food. I ate 1 meal per day on average. #SocialCareCrisis #pwME #bedridden #SevereME #Malnutrition #BloodSugar #Dehydration

HERE ON THE COAST…
We have a serious zuchini glut in our garden. Just two plants are producing up to four zicchinis a day.

The question is what do we do with so many zucchinis? Our neighbour grows them so we cannot simply give them away. My partner is experimenting with zucchini recipes. What we are also doing is shredding the zucchinis and drying them in our electric dehydrator. That way, we van use them over the coming winter.

Ideas?

Worst part about attending any event away from home....

I don't drink enough during the day. I'm short 3 22 oz. glasses of water for the day, which means that it's highly likely I'll get an early morning rise-and-shine call from muscle cramps. Yuck.

It's hard to believe when I THINK about it, but I normally consume 6 of these glasses of water every day...before 11 pm. No way can I drink 3 in the next hour before my witching hour arrives!
