Really Stupid Instructions for Singapore
Just bought a tube of glue for a repair project. The instructions on the glue say to keep the remainder in a "cool, dry place".
I am having a hard time envisioning such a place in Singapore. Perhaps there is part of the island that I don't know about?

I'd love to have your electric bills. We try to go without the a/c, but I am literally soaked with perspiration. I also have difficulty with my asthma without the a/c on. I also have learned to purchase small tubes or containers of glue, liquid nails, etc. In the temperatures here, it just won't last!

Years ago, when I took my then 2 year old daughter to the Doctor for a rash that just wouldn't clear up, he looked at me with a straight face and told me to:
keep her cool
keep her off the floor
avoid chlorine
avoid air conditioning
bathe her as little as possible
Looking back I think that's when my love-hate relationship with Singapore was born.

What kind of doctor was that? Did he think you were Steven Spielberg and your daughter was E.T. or what?beenhere10years wrote:Years ago, when I took my then 2 year old daughter to the Doctor for a rash that just wouldn't clear up, he looked at me with a straight face and told me to:
