Guard Your Family from Electric Shock

"Do you get a tingling sensation when you touch a lamp or other piece of electrical equipment?"

Today's Almanac post is about being aware of electrical hazards and removing defective equipment.

We should also be aware of where outlets are and covering ones that are not in use.

Doing this will protect small children in your home.

Take care of your cords that plug into an outlet.

Make sure they are out of the way and protected from getting damaged.

You should always be aware of how you are using your outlets.

I still remember that scene in "A Christmas Story" when the dad was plugging in the leg lamp into the outlet with like twenty other things plugged in.

Or even the scene from "Christmas Vacation" where the electrical outlet is a jigsaw puzzle.

It's funny right?!

Because it is so dangerous.

We have space heaters and one of the most important all caps phrases in the instructions state:

PLUG DIRECTLY INTO AN OUTLET. DO NOT PLUG INTO ANY EXTENSION CORDS.

Seriously. It is because this could happen

So please be aware even in 2018 that electricity and any electrical devices can still pose some dangerous hazards.

Teach your kids to be careful around them. They are not toys.

Because what will happen to you or anyone won't be as funny as what happens in humorous fictional Christmas movies.

Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
