Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s Words To Live By

By

Is anyone happier because you passed their way?

Does anyone remember that you spoke to them today?

The day is almost over and its toiling time is through;

Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?

Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that’s slipping fast,

That you helped a single child of the many that you passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?

Is the child whose hopes were fading, now with courage to look ahead?

Did you waste the day or lose it? Was it well or sorely spent?

Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scare of discontent?

As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that you have the right to say, “You earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?”

At the day’s end Y3K Tutor In Your Home can answer with a resounding, “YES”.

We hope you can too more or less.

Solution to the Antifreeze Death Problem

By

One solution to the antifreeze death problem is to require all antifreeze manufacturers to add in a non-toxic bittering agent that makes it taste awful. This will save countless lives of children and pets. Many states, and even some cities, are considering legislation requiring the addition of the bitterent denatonium benzoate to antifreeze. This would make the antifreeze virtually impossible for a child or animal to be poisoned by the usually sweet-tasting liquid. Find out if this is required where you live.

Jul 31 2012 Antifreeze Can Kill Your Child or Pet

By

Antifreeze is the bright green or orange liquid in your car’s radiator to keep the automobile from freezing or overheating. Most brands of antifreeze contain ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is a sweet tasting liquid and it is deadly to both children and pets. Just two tablespoons of antifreeze is enough to kill a child. As little as two ounces can kill a dog and one teaspoon will kill a cat. In fact if a cat walks through a puddle of antifreeze and then licks its paws, it can ingest enough antifreeze to cause death.

This liquid has such a sweet smell and taste that it is irresistible to both children and animals who come in contact with it. Every year hundreds of children are poisoned by antifreeze while tens of thousands of dogs and cats die. Kids and pets find antifreeze:

• in the garage, when they come across an unmarked bottle of old antifreeze or a pan of antifreeze left on the floor.

• in a puddle of it left in a parking space or on the driveway.

One of the organs most affected by ethylene glycol is the kidneys and even a small amount of antifreeze can cause kidney damage. Once ethylene glycol is inside the body, it is changed into a crystalline acid which attacks the kidneys. If your child or pet act like they are drunk (lack of coordination), it is a symptom that they ingested antifreeze.

Over the next few posts we will discuss some solutions to this problem. Feel free to share your comments.

Playground Injuries: Trampolines

By

Problem: Kids can be injured using trampolines. Injuries usually occur when two or more kids jump on the trampoline at the same time. 60-70% of trampoline injuries happen when more than one child is on the trampoline. One study found that the younger and smaller of the two kids was 14 times more likely than the bigger kid to be injured. This is due to the greater force from the heavier kid, which tends to bounce the lighter child up and off the trampoline.

Solution: Due to thousands of head injuries and fractures caused by trampolines every year, the best solution is to not use them. However if a trampoline is to be used, only one person at a time should be on it. Also an adult should supervise anytime a child uses a trampoline.
