Life is really boring if there is no struggle - its in the struggles where you find the most growth …

wow, didnt realize I had some many bad items in my house :(
Thank you :)
thanks
A lot of 'ready meals' come packaged in plastic and specify microwave instructions on them. Are they not safe either ? A lot of my clients use them when they are unable to cook for themselves. Interesting about art materials. I cringe to think of some of the toxic chemicals and materials I used years ago and some of the 'experimental' things I made. I am so careful now that I have 'grown up.' I dread to think of the damage that may have yet to come
Thanks
