I make sure I turn the stove/oven off when I'm done using it. I look both ways before I cross a street. I bathe on a regular basis. I live in a safe and gated neighborhood. I surround myself with good people/friends. I use common sense.

I have a conceal and carry license. I always carry everywhere I go with the exceptions of places it isn’t allowed. I’m aware of my surroundings. I pay attention to the behaviors of others around me.
I practise awareness of surroundings and behaviors of others too, since about 18 when I first learned how to live in a city. Wouldn't know how to use a gun, but fortunately never needed one.
It’s not that simple. Comparing the USA to other countries is comparing apples to oranges. We could ban and confiscate every gun but there’s too many guns which can be illegally smuggled across our southern border. We also have cultural differences. The reality is we have such a high number of guns it would be impossible to remove them.
Here’s some facts that gun grabbers in America don’t know or ignore. Cities and states that become more second amendment friendly and adopted conceal and carry have seen a significant drop in violent crimes. The statistics are out there. Who’d think that taking away the advantage of criminals would do this? They’re less likely to attempt a violent crime when there’s always potential armed citizens.
Cities in our country which have the strictest gun control laws are the most violent cities with gun violence a huge issue. If gun control works why do these cities have so much crime? Places which are conceal and carry friendly have seen drops in violent crimes. It’s not a coincidence and quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of people from other countries acting holier than thou because we are constitutionally guaranteed the right to bear arms.
Guns are a tool used. If people want to kill or harm othersk they will find a way.

I'm pretty careful. Don't go out nights unless I am with my husband or somebody else. Driving and walking as well - I notice many people don't seem to watch what is going on around them but I always do. Don't heat or cook with gas. Make well-balanced meals of natural and if possible organic food with emphasis on whole grains. No junk food. Don't challenge people or get in their way. Live in a very safe country suburb. Stay low-key and don't advertise myself.
Don't swim in public pools or contaminated beach areas. Change my pillow cases every few days. Don't eat raw fish. Keep my doors locked. Check everything before i leave the house to make sure everything is turned off. Have yearly checkups. Drive safely. Don't smoke or drink.
It strips the color out of my hair, which I paid a lot for and ruins my bathing suit. Among adults, exposure to chlorine in pools has been linked to bladder and rectal cancer and increased risk for coronary heart disease.
Wow! Thanks for that. I don't dye my hair, but I do use a rubber cap to stop the natural brown turning olive green. I wear an old T-shirt and shorts rather than a bathing suit. In summer, when the ocean gets warm enough, I prefer the surf - more buoyant and more fun.
I'll check out those cancer links. I suspect you're right because chlorine's a pretty nasty poison on all levels. I still don't get why public pools still use chlorine when magnesium-salt works just as well and is so much safer.
