How do people fall down stairs?

It is very easy to fall/trip down stairs. The most common ways would be clumsiness, tripping, slipping, missing hand rails, or there might be an interference on the stairs like a cat or dog getting in the way. People carrying things in front of them so they can not see obstacles are more prone to trips and falls. Oftentimes, alcohol or drugs/medications are a factor; and many people who are frail, elderly, or disabled in some way are especially challenged when faced with stairways. They are more likely to lose their balance, and be unable to right themselves if they do. They can also fall with no physical ability to "break" their own fall, or steady themselves to prevent more serious injury.

How do you remove broken glass from my pool?

Very carefully?

A half of a potato makes a pretty good glass-grabbing tool. Push the potato onto the glass shards. The shards will be stuck in the potato, and you can then throw the potato away, glass and all. And potatoes are inexpensive enough that you can afford to waste three or four of them to get ALL of the glass shards.

They work well for extracting broken light bulbs, as well; turn off the light, push the potato onto the broken bulb, and you should be able to unscrew it.

Is rhododendron a good wood to burn in a fireplace?

ANSWER:Live rhodendron contains gryanotoxin, which is poisonous if ingested. When burned the gryanotoxin is destroyed at temperatures of 300 degres and above, and no evidence of toxicity has been found in the smoke or coals of the rhododendron plant. It is a hard long-burning wood and can be used safely.

Is a tungsten ring dangerous?

Tungsten carbide rings are completely safe to wear. When manufactured well the metal is cobalt free and hypoallergenic. Tungsten is an extremely hard metal, one step below a diamond on the Moh's Hardness Scale. This makes the metal very unique. Many people worry about tungsten rings in the case of an emergency. One major concern they have is their finger swelling around the ring in the case of injury. Some are even deterred from purchasing tungsten rings due to this one major factor. Tungsten rings are actually safer to wear due to the hardness. The Hard metal ring will protect your finger rather than bend into it in the case of force. A true tungsten carbide ring can also be easily cracked off by any medical professional. A standard vice grip locked to the ring and cracked several times around the circumference will cause the ring to break into pieces. This is why most tungsten ring companies offer a lifetime warranty - these rings will easily be replaced for minimal to no fee.
