Useful Stuff About Traveling

Here is an interesting book showing how you can spend hours playing ancient games.

This book contains descriptions of sixty board games, drawn from an immense range of history – from 3000 BC through to the turn of the nineteenth century. Accounts of these games have been gleaned from archaeological reports, traveler’s tales, anthropological studies and foreign-language accounts of games, translated into English for the first time.

Using the detailed text and fifty-nine diagrams it is possible for the reader to construct their own boards and pieces and enjoy hours of play.

Perfect for toy and game collectors, this book can also bring something different to family occasions – instead of the usual board games, why not play a number game that was once popular among the intelligentsia of the middle ages?

I never ride a roller coaster, not due fear but due to sickness and heart problems. But I must confess, I would love to ride one. Now, would I take my kids with me? Not at all. Look as this five years old.

I think this shows the extreme force people face when they go in the roller coaster. On my case, I would need to make a term life insurance before riding it just in case my heart stopped during the ride.

Heat waves make me lose my appetite. The heat just dries my mouth and I’m invited to drink water but not always. Most of the time I “forget” to drink water and only when I reach the end of the day, I realize that I didn’t drink one glass of water.

I’m a natural skinner so order Phentermine is not on my shopping list. I lose weight naturally because I don’t feel the need to eat. How strange is that?

From today on I will have a big bottle of water near my laptop (where I spend most of the day) and I’m going to schedule a hourly reminder on my desktop to “not forget” to drink weather.

We are having 110 Fahrenheit today, it’s insane. I have all shutters closed and I’m in the kitchen, the coolest place on the first floor. The pool is outside calling me but the sun is too strong and sunburns and eczema due to sun exposure must be avoided.

In about two hours I expect to be able to go to the pool with the kids. The sun won’t be so strong, we will have some shadow spots near the pool and fortunately a fresh breeze.

I was surfing youtube when I came across this video that was quite impressive to me.

I was always underweight but I wasn’t having any eating disorder. Genes say so. I got tired of people telling me I was so skinny, that I should eat more. I did acupuncture, I did vitamins treatments, appetite increasing pills my food was controlled for quite some time without any weight increase. Genes spoke louder.

I know many people were envious of my body because they were fat an although they used apidexin and other pills, they weren’t able to lose weight. Now, in six months, I gained 6 kilos (+/- 12 pounds). My secret? No secret at all. I was working on an abusive environment, with daily verbal abuses and I quit the job. I had been there for 15,5 years and the stress wouldn’t let me increase weight.

I don’t have any miracle solution for those with extra weight but, healthy eating, exercise and a lot of water can help you out.

Those with eating disorders, please sick help, talk with your parents and friends about it, don’t be afraid to let people know you have a problem. They can help you get over it.
