EverCalm Deer Scent Makes You Smell Like a Deer?s Bed

I happened upon an interesting booth on the way to an appointment at the 2018 SHOT Show, and circled back to check it out. The company is ConQuest Scents and what got my attention was the “first-ever deer calming scent” banner for a scent called EverCalm. I’m clearly late to the EverCalm party (it’s been[.....]

God and death...

Afternoons when I'm done with work I'm a volunteer worker at a home as an activities coordinator. It's a combination hospital recovery, convalescent nursing care, and hospice facility of about 120 patients, half of them being long term residents. My mom is 96 and has dementia and is there, so I see her almost every day.

I also see death... lots of death, up close and personal, and it has been an amazing real world personal experience, so these are some of my observations of the last two years I've been there.

The place is like a train station where travelers pass the time waiting for their train to take them home.

Death is merciful. I get to personally interact with people right up to the time they die and everyone who I've seen die is better off now than they were when they were alive.

The long term residents will live the rest of their lives and never leave the facility, but they dont feel confined as their life shrinks to the available size of their world. We laugh and joke around and have fun just like everyone else does, and maybe even more so than others.

One of the running jokes is "drop offs". When we see a full gurney arrive, we call it a drop off because the hospital is dropping someone off...

...and when we see a full gurney leave we also call it a drop off because someone just dropped off.

Good friendships form easily with the silent realization that we are all at the same train station waiting for the same train.

This place is overflowing with kindness goodness and love.

And this was a real stunner... are no evil people here. I see what people are at the end of their life, and they are all good people.

There is no squabbling over religious doctrines here. Nobody is damning anyone else, because there is simply no time for that childish nonsense.

The closest thing to dotrinal differences is when the Seventh Adventists come for service, and the Jews roll their eyes as they roll their wheel chairs out of the room. But even that's good natured and done as a joke.

Everyone I've interacted with here so far believes in God and that's it. This isn't fake faith or religious posing. It's the real stuff folks have when they are jammed right up close to the end of their life.

So these are just a few of my own personal experiences and observations of death. My take away from all of this is that God is MORE merciful than anyone could EVER possibly imagine.

Would any of you like to offer your own observations and experiences of God and death?

Risk assesment

Hey guys, this is my first post here.

So I decided to build some sort of emergency bag (I wouldn’t call it a BOB or a INCHB. Maybe just a GHB).

Along with this bag I want to plan a sequence of actions based on a risk assessment I’ve made.

The situations I might find myself in are (from most likely to the most unlikely):

1. Car malfunction.
2. Some kind of a terror attack (sad reality of life).
3. fire.
4. Earthquake.

Do to the fact that I work about 6 mi from my home, I want this bag to be light enough to walk home, but still to be able to cover this four situations I might find myself in.

Will be happy to hear your input on creating this kind of a bag and forming an action plan for each of this situations.
