It seems to be a boomer-generation problem, perhaps this problem will dwindle as they all drop off the perch....<br />One thing that really annoys me is the fax, I dont have one, I use my computer, as purchasing one seems like an invitation to waste paper. Clients are encouraged to scan and email any documents they wish to send to me. <br />There is nothing I hate more than getting useless bits of paper in the mail. It does seem to be a generational thing, again, anyone above the age of Gen x seems to love wasting time and paper with things that can be done electronically.Adrienne Patrickhttp://www.momodigital.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159274.post-28597048613084995122009-07-23T05:17:03.405+10:002009-07-23T05:17:03.405+10:00i miss you!i miss you!The Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802511382961371245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159274.post-43102703761845707872009-06-10T00:50:04.578+10:002009-06-10T00:50:04.578+10:00Plants are good but won't get rid of all the p...Plants are good but won't get rid of all the pollutants.<br /><br />Just found a couple of contacts in HK from the Blue Air site.

We used to have a Philips air purifier, but it produced ozone and that hurt our lungs. We then hunted for a non-ozone producer and bought a Sharp machine. The 3M filters though seem to work okay, but Siyuan gets allergies - ie coughs - all the time becos of the air in HK. The problem with HK is that at least half of the pollution is local, and it's irritating that the bastards that run HK don't do anything about it.

I do have a few but figured Mama Nature could do with a bit of help given the level of crap in the air over here (I used plants at home in Oz but, of course, Oz air is a completely different ball-game).<br /><br />Will Google the list to get images of the plants and keep an eye out for them next time I visit the plant market. I'll probably add a couple more here and there in the apt.<br /><br />But will also keep the air purifiers 8) (noticeable difference in quality of sleep I get with/without the air purifiers - scary Larry!)<br /><br />Ta!scootergrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944492111951488841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159274.post-63097908939551189802009-05-13T17:32:00.000+10:002009-05-13T17:32:00.000+10:00Scootergirl,

Mother-in-law's Tongue - sansevieria trifasciata - excellent nocturnal converter of CO2 to O2. Use in bedroom.<br /><br />2. Areca Palm - chrysalidocarpus lutescens - CO2 scrubber...remember to wipe leaves daily for max. effect.<br /><br />3. Money Plant - epipremnum aureum - great at removing volatile chemicals, heavy metals. <br /><br />You should buy several per person...sounds like a lot...but a better and healthier investment than aircon gadgets.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />RichardCathay Specifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758521116342426246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159274.post-74083545831396835742008-12-17T14:17:00.000+11:002008-12-17T14:17:00.000+11:00FYI, I just checked their website www.rationalist....FYI, I just checked their website www.rationalist.com.au, and the membership form now includes a bank account number to make transfers to.

Her TEDTalk video (ted.com) has been seen as many times as The Last Lecture I think, and Oprah did 4 shows on her book, so there are a lot of similarities. In My Stroke of Insight, there's a happy ending though. It's an incredible story!
