Does Your Home Have Lead Pipes · 9:51am Dec 30th, 2022

Is lead harmful?

In the past, lead was widely used for everything from plumbing to electronics.

It is now known that over time, exposure to lead can affect health, with the greatest risk being to children under six and to pregnant women.

As a result, the Government has banned the use of lead in many products and it has not been used for water pipes since 1970. The Government also advises that we should minimize our exposure to lead from all sources, including drinking water.

High On Inspiration · 5:26pm Mar 15th, 2017

Inspiration is great. It drives my stories to no end, and in truth, is the reason why it may take some of my stories so long to complete or update. My greatest inspiration comes from music. Instrumental or non-lyrical music is such a complex story-teller, because what you think about while it plays differs from time-to-time.
