More thoughts on Hazardous chemicals

I realize that I neglected to make known the simple, inexpensive alternative to fabric softeners. Plain distilled white vinegar! Just add a cup into the wash cycle and voila! Just think all the money you will save and how much healthier you and everyone around you will be. Talk about giving gifts. . . that is a priceless one.
How about air fresheners? By now you might not be surprised to learn that they do not freshen the air at all. They are harmful chemicals that simply desensitize our olfactory cells. Another words, they deaden your sense of smell. You could just as easily spray a mixture of vinegar and water into the room and it will clear the air and not harm your senses. I always say, what is wrong with just simply cleaning the room instead of trying to cover up the obvious with smell. I mean, come on! When you walk into a room and smell the air freshener don't you immediately know that it is just a cover up? it is like a huge neon sign pointing and saying "dirty house, lazy homeowner".
Maybe perfume does much the same. The people who walk into a room with perfume so strong it would scare even our worst enemies into hiding, maybe we should use this technique instead of conventional warfare, anyway, they use this much perfume because their senses have been deadened from the chemicals so they can't smell it and therefore keep adding more and more so they can. It is a never ending circle. . . spray perfume, deaden your smell, add more so you can smell it then lose that sense and again need to apply more and so on.
How about the perfumed pages in magazines? We left one opened outside to hopefully air out enough that we could look at it. When we came back to it, we found many dead bugs all around and on it. Apparently, the perfume was enough to kill them. Just imagine what it does to us.

My thoughts for the day.Have a good one, hopefully perfume free.
