Ex-Cowboy Ron Springs has ‘no hope’ of surviving

Sad story.  Several thoughts go through my head.

His former teammate Everson Walls gave him a kidney.  I’m sure Everson would have done it again even if he knew what would have happened, but that’s just real unfortunate to donate a kidney and know that person won’t even last a year. 

The Cowboys honored these two earlier this year to help promote organ donation, he seemed to be doing well at the time.

Flushable Diapers

gDiapers consist of a washable, cotton outer pant and a plastic free flushable refill.  They are made of breathable material just like sports clothing.  So, babies stay dry and happy and are far less likely to get diaper rash.

Can’t flush?  It’s ok to toss flushable refills because they’re plastic-free.  Or garden compost the wet ones.  They’ll break down in 50-150 days.
