Growth From Within: Learning A New Skill

With much of the state in lockdown during April and May, it was a time for self-discovery.  There was some of that but much of that time was squandered.  Well, not really.  Some of the time.  So I wanted to make sure that does not happen going forward.

Here will be a series of posts about what we are doing here at Poopy Pond to begin anew topics that help ourselves, and hoping you as well, that will move us forward.  Some of the articles are about sustainable living.  Others are about looking inward and growing from within - knowledge and physical and metal health.

We recently started working on learning coding.  That is a segment of our future.  Since we are beginners here, you are welcome to join us if you want to use this opportunity to also learn this new and much needed skill.  Did i also mention that being able to program is a highly valued skill in the market, whether it is for a future side-gig or to find a new job?

Okay, so here we go.  The title of each blog will be easy to search so that you can track our progress and I hope that you'll be willing to share yours as well.

Amazon Boxes To Transform Into More Useful Forms - Condos and Starships

Image
Source:   CNET . Nearly every household in America has one of those brown boxes with an Amazon smiley logo.  And they come in different sizes.  Some are useful. Some are not.  Amazon will not do something about that with their "less packaging, more smiles" program to turn these boxes into more interesting and fun uses. Some of these boxes are reused.  Repackaging, returning items, or just storing items for moving.  Now, Amazon wants to turn these boxes into housing for cats or help spur a child's imagination by turning into a space ship. Amazon's website for  has a variety of ideas.  Spaceships, robots, housing for pets, or even one's own fortress of solitude assuming there are enough boxes. What other builds can the wall of boxes in every household's living room be turned into?  Tables?  Definitely.  Amazon should start a new contest or Instagram feed on how people use their packaging materials creatively.

Toilet seat covers

  Toilet seat covers.     There are many wonders in this little beautiful blue planet of our that hold little secrets. Are you, like me curious, about what secrets everyday products will reveal? For the longest time I have wondered about that little pocket sewn into my pair of jeans. I have seriously pondered it’s secrets. I would ask questions like,  “Why is it there?”, and “What is it used for?”.  Right now there are more pressing issues than little pockets. There are websites that will reveal the “why’s” in products we use everyday or use sometimes.    What I want to talk about is toilet seat covers. I do not mean seat covers that you wrap your toilet seats to keep your tushy nice and warm. I am talking about the paper toilet seat covers at work or any public places. The questions I have are not about whether you should use them, or does it really protect your bottom from little tiny critters from other people’s nether regions and unspeakable.     My questions are, how do you place

Why We Should Clean Our Own Home - It Will Improve Your Health and Save Plenty of MOney

Image
I recently started reading a book about how we should maximize our limited time on earth and do what we are meant to do and outsource certain tasks to others who are more suited to do them - let coders who are better at it than we are, let someone else walk our dogs, or clean our homes.  While I believe the idea certainly has merits, it is not for everyone. Not in the beginning anyway.  Plus, there are things that we should do ourselves like walking my own dog (I don't own one).  And as for cleaning one's home, I do believe that unless you live in a mansion, you should take time to at least tidy up your place on a regular basis even if you are a high power attorney, doctor, or, you know, me.   Let's start at the beginning.  I'm not good at cleaning my own house.  I do it from time to time when inspired but for years I did not do it on a regular basis.  Fast forward to years later and what happened?  I now clean my house on a regular basis.  Every two weeks or so.  What
