  Hubby can't take the cold. He has problems with "thermoregulation" due to his amputation and the resulting loss of skin surface, which helps to regulate temperature. . .therefore, no lower than 69 degrees in my house.

  I know that babies and the elderly have problems with thermoregulation too (as well as people with certain health conditions). . .some people just can't take the cold. . . for instance a burn patient couldn't take the cold due to loss of skin surface area.. . Oh well! IDK???

  Thanks for the info. I just made a donation to: Thank you for your gift of $25.00 to the International Response Fund. It's the American Red Cross.

  MsDucky, I apologize if the tone of my posts sound a little gruff. It's just me from time to time.

  There's nothing wrong with discussing things. We're just talking. I'm not hating on you or nothing like that, yet!

  It's okay to disagree. Right?

  Villabolo, you're diverting or changing the subject again. What to do? Gawd!

  Introduction to the Scientific Method

  The scientific method is the process by which scientists, collectively and over time, endeavor to construct an accurate (that is, reliable, consistent and non-arbitrary) representation of the world.

  Recognizing that personal and cultural beliefs influence both our perceptions and our interpretations of natural phenomena, we aim through the use of standard procedures and criteria to minimize those influences when developing a theory. As a famous scientist once said, "Smart people (like smart lawyers) can come up with very good explanations for mistaken points of view." In summary, the scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of bias or prejudice in the experimenter when testing an hypothesis or a theory

  I. The scientific method has four steps

  1. Observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena.

  2. Formulation of an hypothesis to explain the phenomena. In physics, the hypothesis often takes the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical relation.

  3. Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena, or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations.

  4. Performance of experimental tests of the predictions by several independent experimenters and properly performed experiments.

  If the experiments bear out the hypothesis it may come to be regarded as a theory or law of nature (more on the concepts of hypothesis, model, theory and law below). If the experiments do not bear out the hypothesis, it must be rejected or modified. What is key in the description of the scientific method just given is the predictive power (the ability to get more out of the theory than you put in; see Barrow, 1991) of the hypothesis or theory, as tested by experiment. It is often said in science that theories can never be proved, only disproved. There is always the possibility that a new observation or a new experiment will conflict with a long-standing theory.

  Point taken, Villabolo. So, to you scientific experts, I guess I should say that global warming is not a fact.

  Villabolo, you're not the only person with survival "instinct". My husband still has MRE's (and other stuff) from when he was in 'Nam. . .how'd this change from the Ice Age?. . .
