For me, when I get to that state, I go back to cloth diapers and plastic pants - as they seem to be the only diapers that handle lying down, but the diapers go halfway up my back and belly. I have yet to find a disposable that can handle liquid mess. Even babies on a liquid diet, their diapers leak. P&G refer to it as a Poonami, and are flogging diapers that are supposed to catch what comes out of the back. With disposable diapers they leak from every point. From personal experience of diapering babies, when it happens, it happens and one almost needs a swimming pool to dunk the baby in to deal with the mess. Forget about trying to clean the baby clothes - it is stained forever and will end up in the bin... and you can't get annoyed, otherwise you have a cranky and scared baby also to deal with.

'you'll sleep like a baby' is one of the most misused and ludricous phrases ever created. It is supposed to mean that one had a worry free sleep as a reference to a baby does not have any worries of life. However, for those who have actual babies / children - the true meaning of the phrase come to light. A young baby sleeps at max, four hour intervals before waking crying looking for attention and/or food and/or a change - that is if they haven't woke up earlier with poo covering their back and the rest of their clothes. Even after you change and feed and clean your child, trying to get them back to sleep so you can put them down in their cot / crib is a long ordeal - and usually ends up costing you the rest of your nights sleep. What I have encountered many a night, is getting up at 10pm, 12 midnight, 2am, 4am to change and feed my little darling, walking the floor with the little one half awake and half asleep in my arms with some irritating nursery ryhme playing on the mobile in constant repeat while I am fully awake..... and then closer to 7am, the little tike decides to fall asleep... when I have to go in and face a 8am meeting half awake. I come back to the house and both my partner and I are shattered where my little darling is now happily and quietly playing with some toy fully awake.... until he farts and explodes into his diaper and the tears and tantrums start again. Another change, and my little darling falls asleep on the toy, and stays alseep until 3-4pm where he now screams for food while ignoring the mess he is covered in. This repeats all day and into the wee hours of the morning until he eventually falls asleep at 5-6am... another day dealt with where the parents / adults are now more sleep deprived all due to the simple concept of........ their little darling baby sleeps like a baby I suspect that the phrase was created by a person who never had and/or dealt with actual children - and I don't like his/her sarcasm. That is a jail from circa 100 years ago.

At 12.40, 30th May 2018, there was no published medical cure in the western world for diabetes. The source of my information was incorrect, and there is a cure, but it contradicts a lot of food saftey thinking. As a result, medical science has still to accept it. The cure involves reducing/removing the fat within the kidneys, one of the primary reason for the bodies mistake in recognising its own sugar balance. Chinese medicine has been handling this for centuries while western medicine have been dealing with symptoms. The core reason for the delay in change in western world medicine is the almost guarenteed loss of profit to be indured by large pharma. The solution recognised by Chinese medicine is the introduction of White Mulberry Leaf to the diet in small quantites. i.e. 1-2 cups per week/month. This has been dismissed by western medicine by publication of a single incident in where a person overdosed on White Mulberry Leaf Tea. Considering the percentage of people worldwide that overdose on medication, it seems strange that the one W.M.L.T. overdose should get such media traction. In my humble opinion, it is more likely that western world large pharmacutical companies are trying to discourage the use of W.M.L.T. due to their projected loss on diabetical treatment medication. Where it concerns the food industry is that the food industry is responsible for the continued dosing of food with artifical sugars and sweetners - both are severely damaging to the kidneys - and denying that this food is harmful. After all, if they admit it, most fast food chains and food processing plants would need to close.

The actual numbers are slightly hidden due to human behaviour to hide what they percieve as a difference to societal norms. To figure out the numbers, one has to look at the adult diaper market, its now acceptance on mainstream media advertisements and reverse calculate what the market is targeting. This is due to simple economics - a company will not produce or sell a product without at least, ensuring that there is a market to buy said product. This gets very specific when one looks at the capital investment into this market - and the realization that money is not invested into a product / market without some reasonal expectation of a return on investment. For one version of source figures, see https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/adult-diapers-market This states that the disposable adult diaper market is due to be $38.2b by 2032, with a growth of 8% per annum. Assuming 1 diaper per night is 365 per year at an average cost of $1 per diaper equates $365 per person per year. $38.2b / $365 = 104.6m people. World population is roughly 8b people. That works out as 1 person in every 80 bed wet. There is other variances that are needed to be added which are:- the preference of the older generation to use cloth instead of disposables a proportion of people don't use any protection other than a plastic undersheet some people stuff a baby diaper in underwear some people use a sanitary pad I would suspect that the numbers are more likely 1 in 40 people or greater considering the availability of waterproof undersheets (sold as hypoalergenic and/or dust and bed bug protection fitted sheets) for adult sized beds. Add this to the increasing delay in children being toilet trained - and attending school later and later still wearing diapers, I would suspect that the number to get to 1 in 20, then to 1 in 10, and then to 1 in 5 or more.

@rubbersheetmike That question is discriminatory and totally disrespectful to all people in the human race. To me, it is similar to the lies of history that stated that people of coloured skin were less intelligent that their fair coloured skin brethren. This site / forum is fully acceptable of all versions of adult baby play. It also accepts and welcomes people of all race, creed, culture, and belief - as long as they are over 18 years of age. This site/forum does not discriminate - and in my humble opinion, should not allow others to do same. I am aware that this is off topic, but this topic should not exist anywhere in the world as the answer to the question is a resounding NO. I am also shocked that you listened to a lying bigot who told you that there was a link. I am more astonished that you would consider that it has any truth in it and then ask about it on this site.

I can't say conrgatulations via the reaction, so I say thank you so you can recieve a winners cup.

I find it hard to trust an industry that is focused on profit rather than cure. I said that I wasn't going to debate vax vs ant-vax, but the lie of a magic pill that will cure from an industry that is not trustworthy - to me is too good to be true. Giving science all the respect, lets consider the household pests that have existed for centuries - i.e. the domestic/sewer/house rat. It is a biological item, and poisons have been made to kill this - yet today, the species is still thriving and immune to the poison. This is the species that was responsible (in a way) for the black death and thousands of other diseases that effected humans - yet today, they still exist and are still a pest. Common sense and Darwin theory tells science the reason that the rat still exists - it is that the species mutates and gains resistance to the poisons. Our change of living to brick houses create a solid object to restrict their entry. As a result, their food source is limited. Therefore, it is easy to surmise that the quantity of rats today is only 1-5% of what existed during the 16th centry and earlier - and it was human behaviour, not scientific implementation that caused the change. Yes, science identified the value of change - after the fact. In relation to a virus, it mutates exactly the same as a rat does. Poison / vaccine is a little more than useless as it forces the virus to mutate faster - similar to that of a rat becomming imune to poisons. What reduces a virus is a change in human behaviour - hand washing, mask wearing, social distancing. These key items reduce the transmission rate, the R number. With less being transmitted, less people get it, and slowly, the number of infected drops. The number of people getting vaccinated is usually not related to the death of a disease, but medical science loves to belive it is. Polio was identified as being mostly irradicated due to vaccines. Polio vaccine introduced in 1960s, where in 1984 people were still getting it. That is 20 odd years later. Also, a number of vaccinated people got polio from the vaccine due to it containing a live polio virus. Simple fact is that science is not as advanced as it likes to pretend that it is - and lies to the world when queried. Medical science, being a division of science ran for profit is just as arrogant. I pity those who blindly believe in a magic cure. It is more profitable to treat symptoms than fix the problem. Magic is an illusion. Medicine is a combination of illusions plus taking credit for trial and error and what is refered to as Chineese Medicine and herbology etc.

Thank you for the agreement. I am not going to argue re: vaccine vs anti-vaccine as I have my reasons not to vaccinate while you have yours to vaccinate which seem to contradict, so lets simply state that in that topic, I disagree, but fully respect your opinions.

What you have to ensure, when working from home, is that the meetings don't get intrupted similar to Robert E Kelly and/or as @rusty pins suggests ... or better still, don't stand up. Also ensure that the background does not incude your plushies etc.

@LilRugrat, @FretaBWet, It wouldn't be a hemoglobin issue that could effect you. Fluid balance in the body is based on fluid level in the cells being the same as fluid level in the bloodstream. It moves via osmosis from a more fluids to a less fluids area. Sweating causes less fluids within the cells as evaporation of same on skin reduces temp. to normal levels. This reduces fluids in the bloodstream which makes it thicker. As it is thicker, it is easy to get false positives triggered by what is normally in the bloodstream - a few antibody cells. The IBTS tests for the presence of a selection of virus' and can give false positives if the antibodies are found in high enough volumn. In good blood centers, they are smart enough not to make that mistake, and I am glad that the one you two went to has good people there. In relation to staying off the roof after the blood draw, that is a certainty. Your blood volumn is lower and will take 48-96 hours plus to recover. In the meantime, your blood pressure would be slightly lower and heart needs to work a little harder. As a result, placing oneself in a place where one needs sharp reactions is not a good idea. You might find that until you fully recover, you might get slight dizziness etc if you get up a little quickly from rest. That is normal due to reduced blood volumn. In relation to body weight (fat), that is usually not a huge problem if it is within normal ranges - i.e. if you can still see your toes, that is Ok, but is you need a mirror to see your toes that is bad. It is worse if your belly is so big that other people can't see your toes. Do you wear tops / shirts over your trousers to hide your belly - that is a warning sign. If it is a Homer Muu-Muu... do I need to say it? Weight is all about the relevant energy levels - and more correctly, the fat in the liver. That is critical to body health. There is a White Mulberry Leaf Tea that some people drink to reduce that, but that can be dangerous as overindulgence of same is worse. As a result, if you wish to try it, it is 1 - 2 cups a week maximum. Activity and excercise (not the hours in a gym etc) but normal walking and physical labour is better for health than splurging at a gym. Just be careful with what you eat re processed junk. As with everything in life, it is good for us in moderation. It is the excess that can harm us. The 2004, 30 day indulgence by Morgan Spurlock has permanently dammaged his health. He wanted to do it again in 2017 (12 years later) but was warned by his doctors that it would kill him. Instead, he changed the plot slightly. In relation to diabetes, and this may be hard to learn, but diabetes is fully controllable by diet alone - my 94 year old father has been doing it since he was 45, as have many many people across the world without the insulin injections, the sugar boosts etc. His weekly food intake is 6 apples, 6 bananas, 6 pears, 21 cups tea (no sugar), 1/4 pk digestive biscuites, tin of salmon, 3-4 slices of wholemeal bread a day, plus potatoes, vegtables & either chicken / fish as a main course, jelly (or the US term jello) plus 1/8 tin of fruit cocktail in water (not syrup) for afters. Added to this is prob. per week, 1-2 slices of fruit cake or other forms of candy. Portion size is critical. With a standard size plate, the food should not touch the sholder of the plate. If your dinner can't fit on a standard side plate, the portion is too large. He is fit and healty, went through a tripple bypass plus stents at age 40 odd, and had the stents replaced at 85 (cause the doctors didn't realise that they'd have to last that long). Last month, he went to a uncles 80th birthday party, and both were up dancing on the floor long after us kids had faded! He, and the other *'twirlies' have a lot to teach us, and we have a lot to learn from them. In relation to the song, since you said it, it has been going around my head for the past few days like a pest... so I am happy that you like my version. Twirlies, a term given to OAPs by bus drivers during the time the OAP Bus Passes were time limited. The bus drivers kept hearing from OAP customers 'Am I too early'.

@FretaBWet, thank you. My father, and all our elders deserve our respect, love and admiration. They have forgotten more than we could ever know about the trials of life, and are only here for a short time. We are only in our infancy, and these people have a lot to teach us still if we only give them the time... because if we don't, they will be gone and a whole era and skill set will go with them forever. So everyone, it really doesn't matter why you are not talking to your elders, it takes seconds to appologise - or the rest of your life to live in regret. Age is just a number, or you are as young as you feel. The human body is designed to be active. If you become dormant because you feel old, your journey to your destination is accelerated. There are group of people aged 90+ living happy fulfilling independent lives across the world where many scientific studies have been made. The conclusions found are that long life is all about drive, attitude and activity.

@FretaBWet About two months age, my father (age 94) and I (age 55) with my partner (age 48) were on his flat garage roof resealing it inbetween rain showers. I tried to keep him down, but as usually, I lost that argument and he was up and down faster that I or my partner could. So, please everybody, don't let age stop you - after all, we are babies and babies get into everything.

I addressed what you are referring to - stress - and that is always dealt with first. Again, even if the child regresses as a way to handle the stress, it is NEVER a good idea to indulge the childs regression. From a pscycological perspective, when a paitent has an issue that causes them fear, the best way for the paitent to handle the fear is to face the problem. i.e. a person with a fear of water can either face the fear and conquer it in a calm controlled environment, or hide from it until it becomes an adult problem that they are too embarrased to deal with it. The child that regresses due to parental breakup is reverting to an earlier time in its life where there was no conflict with its parents - it is more correctly to say that the child didn't understand the conflict when it was that young. Supporting a child to regress is always wrong - as it is even harder for the child to grow up again unless the impossible occurs, the parents resolve their differences - which is rare. Even if they do, the child has seen that the regression age is a solution and then refuses to grow up due to fear. Placing an absorbant pad under the child, and treating it as a child instead of a baby by lifting it before it wets enforces to the child that the regression behaviour is not working. Remember, the child doesn't realize that it is regressing. Similar occured with numerous 3-7/8 year olds during covid - these children regressed to align with what they percieved as the time their parents were at home and where they were not going to school / creche etc. Some parents indulged these children and began to rediaper them (due to bedwetting and then full diaper usage). Other parents did not indulge these children, and the regression was only temporary. The real issue occured when the children went back to school the following year, some diaper dependant but gained full control within a few days / weeks, others that weren't diapered / indulged in regression, when in school were at a much more advanced level than their regressed & diapered class mates. Allowing a child to wear diapers, and supporting the regression is abuse. The regression also regresses the mind almost back to the same level as an infant. We in the AB world chose to 'play' as a baby, and go into little space. This is done since as an adult, we can compartmentalize the mind. A child has not learnt that, and usually doesn't learn that skill until school and learning multiple subjects from different teachers. The bedwetting child is in turmoil. Your example, the turmoil was caused by parents. The child regressed to protect itself from the turmoil. It is similar to a problem one encounters, go back in ones mind to find a solution. The child is unaware that it has regressed. To it, everything should be solved. Supporting the regression by adding diapers is convicing the child that it has found a solution. It hasn't, and won't. It is not the child's problem. Since the problem has not been solved by the child, it goes back further, and further until the problem is not there. An infant may sence disagreement, but has roughly a 2-5 second memory. Therefore, the only way this child will end up is fully regressed as an infant - or as in your example, several months to a year in diapers almost constantly. He now has to regrow up with the disadvantage of blaiming himself for his parents breakup. I doubt if that was ever resolved. In relation to the years regression, I would suspect that he will be held back a number of years for the rest of his life. Mentally he is scarred. He will need years of psychotheraphy before this is addressed fully. As I said, placing a post trained child back in diapers is abuse. The diaper is a key infant/baby object that is recognised by all as such. A parent or career doing that to a child is telling the child that s/he expects the child to use it as the child did as a baby - which is telling the child that s/he IS a still a baby. There is a common trick in hypnosis to get the subject to touch, feel, image as deep as possible that they have a lemon in their hands. When the subject has done this enough, one gets the subject to bite the imaginary lemon. This tricks the mind to believe one has a lemon, and after biting same, the same reaction of bitter taste in facial expressions and tounge reactions occur. WHY? ... cause the mind creates what it percieves to be reality. A child being placed in a diaper post training by a parent convinces the childs mind that the parent want the child to use it... and the mind creates the rest of the situation to comply with the instructions ..... which it gets from prior actions, which are as a baby / toddler, without fine muscle control, wetting and messing by reflex... sucking on thumbs etc.... all to suit the parents wishes. So, NO, there is no reason* other than personal and/or selfish reasons to place a diaper on a post trained child. It is ABUSE. *I will correct that - after an accident that damages bladder/bowel control, and that is done first in a medical setting

@LilRugrat, Little Bunny Rugrat, hopping of the roofing, scooping up the fluffyness, and hiding it from her gramps... and where is the Good Fairy🤪

Hello twirly... or that is what your age group is referred to here. It comes from the time the OAP Bus Passes were time limited - i.e. not valid until 09.30hrs in the morning and the OAP would get on the bus and ask the conductor / one person bus driver 'Am I too early?' refering to is the bus pass valid? 🤪

The shots do not replace common sence. One still needs a mask plus handwashing etc.. The virus is still here, so either you avoid it, or deal with it. One may be able to hold their breath for 3+ minutes and swim - still one would be insane to get into a pool with alligators. I think that you made the presumption that the covid shot made you 100% safe - which is simply not true. Consider yourself lucky that you survived it that time. There are many who got the shots, got covid and died. I don't think that you want to end up as a statistic on a KPI report from a hospital.

There is two contradicting theories to this - one scientific field proves it's toxic while the other proves it is not. I'd still not like to add it to my / my childs or any animals diet - yet stray dogs and cats tear bins and eat some of it. I'd hate to see what it does inside the body considering that it expands 300-500 times its original size and absorbs 500+ times in original weight of liquid. In the stomach, it would absorb the pure acid and burn its way down until excreted.

@Little Sherri, I'm only teasing you. A dog in a diaper is usually not a good idea in most cases. In one view, it is a little rough and yoou won't fit also. In the other view, the dog doesn't like it. I know that there are dog diapers, and my younger brother diapered his old dog due to continence issues. However, due to the ability of a dog to get to its own butt with its teeth, a full diaper didn't last long on the dog and the cleanup was usually worse than any leakage would be as the dog would throw the diaper away where it hit a wall or something. I've been in the same situations both while out and being showered with SAP and fluff down my legs AND while at home, the back of my diaper split while bending down to pick up something resulting in snow and SAP all over the place. I tend to use a vacuum cleaner to get it up as this type of stuff on a bathroom floor tends to stick and hide until a little water finds it and turns the bathroom tiles into an ice rink. Not good stepping out of a shower - worse stepping in with a full and messy diaper - the crash results in force being placed on the full diaper causing same to explode and a whole different story. 🤔

How did this occur... or was it woof on you 😋

My father, as well as all my uncles have diabetes. My father aged 94 now, is dealing with it since he was 45 with diet alone. My other uncles (younger and older than him) all got it at around 45-50. Out of the six of them in the family, only one is still alive apart from my father. They all let it progress to the stage that they were taking insulin etc. My father is the second oldest in his family. Since my mother never had diabetes, I have a 33% risk of getting it. If my mother had it, I would have a 66% chance of getting it. In relation to you, I would suspect that you might have a greater than 50% chance of getting diabetes via inheritance, and is something that if it were me, I personally, would want to find out. You have seen your own mothers sugar and electrolyte levels drop, as well as your own electrolytes drop. That, to me, would be warning signs. Althouth you may not value your own life, you do have freinds here that do value you and your contributions. Surgery is usually the last ditch attempt to cut out what is causing problems. Diabetes in some start with watching diet, then to blood issues and the removal of limbs (toes, feet, lower legs etc), and the loss of sight due to tunnel vision progressing to total blindness. Other issues include internal problems such as OAB, overflow and then bowel leakage to total incontinence plus intestinal issues. By the time death occurs, most of the person is already burried / cut off courtesy of the surgeon. All this can be avoided by changing ones diet to control ones sugar intake. The body is a master at adapting. Unfortunately, stubborness is part of the human brain. B.T.W. Diabetes is caused by an issue in the liver where fatty deposits block certain receptors that are responsible for controlling sugar balance. This goes wild since the body craves sugars and the food industry lace foods with artifical and real sugars.

I didn't think that you work for Gastorade etc. It is that your response to someone overworking and sweating is like 'increase electrolytes'. That is true if one is training for an endurance sport, but there, it is a lot more clinically controlled. Standard excercise / work that casues one to sweat usually does not need a boost of chemicals to recover, and most chemical cocktails for those people are more damaging than helpful. Your own mother seems to have an associated liver issue that prevents her from processing and recovering from excercise that causes her electrolytes etc to drop. I would also presume that your mother has a form of diabetes which restricts her ability to process sugars. Following those presumptions, it would be understandable that Gastorade and/or other OTC 'boost' drinks have been prescribed for her by a medical team who are fully aware of her needs. In relation to your levels dropping, I suggest that you get that addressed by a medical team. You may have something similar to your mother - as there is a possibility that you inherited the same issue. In relation to flavour, and humans demand for it - the flavour we crave is sugar. Everything else is just window dressing. Unfortunately, advertisers & food producers know this, and increase the sugar/artifical sugar content of an item to entice us to crave it. The problem is that the item that is high in sugar usually has little to no 'substance' or value to it... and that saps our energy and causes us to crave more of the product with the sugar. Unless one is smart, it is very easy to get into that death spiral. There was an experiment partially shown in a 2004 film 'Super Size Me' where Morgan Spurlock spent 30 days eating only meals from McDonalds. During that time, his health deteroriated to almost critical levels. It took 14 months under nutritianal expert care to bring him back to normality. Yes, McD and all fast food meals are nice to eat, but one can't live on them as it will kill you.

You might be refused depending on how long this task to taking (days - weeks rather than hours). It is OK to loose weight in moderation as our normal diet includes to much fat and artifical sugars (including the low sugar/ aspertme (artifical sweeteners) food). It is almost impossible, unless one choses to eat only grass, to avoid processed junk in the diet, but I respect you for trying- after all, God loves a trier. In relation to the weight loss, it is not the fat around ones belly etc that is the issue usually, it is the fat in ones organs especially the liver, as that blocks the processing of sugars and can lead to complications including diabetes. So, the work that is causing you to sweat is actually good for you - in moderation, as long as you are taking the relevant breaks from sun exposure, which you said you are. It allows the body to recover to an extent, however, full recovery normally takes a few weeks, something that might be detected within the blood. The normal IBTS tests for active virus' and hyperactivity in the immune system. These really should be an issue with you considering that you may be overtired, but can give some a false positive.

@anned, I know physics... and that a tree is heavier than me... and a stationary tree has potential energy that is released when cut. As a result - I will not fell a tree. I value my life - and although I wear diapers 24/7... diapers won't protect my hands / head if it was hit by a falling tree. So no... I will not cut a tree down. There are pleanty of so called experts that want to take that risk. I know my own limits. Also, I stated that someone must have roughly known what they were doing in cutting that tree down - otherwise, as you elude to, there would be blood and prob. a dead body at that site. The width of the cut (being the width of the tree) suggests to me a long chainsaw - which is not a cheap piece of equiptment. That item is either owned, or borrowed by someone who is used to the throw of a chainsaw. Yes, I have used a chainsaw to cut up a fallen tree before, and those are not easy to control, and the one I was using was a cheap short blade electric one. It is the torque of the motor compared to the speed of the blade that throws the blade left or right depending on the centrifugal force. Same occurs with an angle grinder. All this leads me to deduce that this tree was felled by someone with experience of a chainsaw - to get that cut straight - but might not be a trained woodsman as you have eludded to. I couldn't get a cut that straight and level even in the stump alone that I was trying to get rid off. What I eventually did was build a frame around the stump I had and used a hand held circular saw to get the line level, and then used a hand operated bushmans saw to cut out the middle. This, I planed and sanded to get flat and level, and turned the stump into a garden table. So, next time I need a tree cut down, now I know who to ask. @ValentinesStuff, I think that you might have tempted faith!

Winter comes, and the advertisers scam us all with changing terms of heating products. In simple terms, electric heating is 100% efficent in that all the electricity used is converted to heat. Therefore, a 1kw heater (doesn't mattter the medium) using 1000 watts of electricity creates 1000w of heat. A 2kw heater using 2000 watts of electricity creates 2000 watts of heat. Now we come to the lies that we are sold -- heater X is better than heater Y since it heats up faster or some other lie. It doesn't matter how fast a heater heats up since the process is to transfer heat to air / room. Now, the higher temprature difference, the faster the heat will move since heat is the actual difference and the movement of heat is called convection. If we look at the ice cube in the glass, the water surrounding the ice cube gets to roughly the same temp as the ice cube so the ice cube won't melt. There simply is not enough of a heat difference between the water and the ice cube. The same exists with a heater and the surrounding air - so to increase the heat output of a heater, one needs to cool the air around it, or move it so the heater can heat the colder air. In realtion to heat output, a 2kw or 2000 watt load draws 16 amps in the USA or 13 amps in 220v countries. That is the maximum load that can be pulled in every domestic socket. Yes, you can play around to double it in certain wirings, but you may easily overload the wiring. As a result, buying a heater that is greater than 2000 watt load is almost insane as all it will heat up to is the 2000 watt. To enforce this, many countries don't retail heaters greater than 2kw load - but advertisers will lie stating that heater X is better than Y due to thermal output and other lies like same. Simply, all electric heaters are 100% efficient - all electricity is changed to heat. Therefore no 2kw load heater has a higher thermal output than another 2kw heater. Even an advertised 3kw heater can't pull more than 16.7/13a from a circuit.. therefore even the 3kw advertised heater will only give 2kw of heat. If we look at the 'smart' / 'digital' etc heaters, they are using part of the 2kw load to power the green led or digital circuit. It is still pulling 2kw, but a fraction of that electricity is being used to give you the green led. This means, this $200+ unit is more expensive to heat a room than the $20 cheap unit. Now we get to the concept of moving the heat to the room - one has to heat the air for the air to heat the room. The greater the thermal difference between the heat source and the air, the faster the temprature will get into the air. However, this only lasts for a few seconds until the air around the heater reaches the same temp as the heat source. This air now heats the air beside it, but that process is very very inefficient - the transfer of thermal energy via air molocules since air has spaces between it, and heat transfer needs a medium. The way this is improved is using fans, to blow already heated air away from the heat source and alow the colder air to touch the heat source and thus get heated. Since hot air is lighter than cold air, it raises up. This pushes the cold air out of it's way and one has an air flow. As a result, to get more heat from a heater, it has to be as low as possible. Otherwise, one is heating the ceiling of a room and using the weak thermal transfer of air to heat lower in the room. Conclusion As a result, the best electric heater to heat a room is one that has a fan and a stat in it. It moves the air across the heat source, and when the room reaches a set temp., it switches off. Depending on the heat loss of the room controls how long the heater is adding heat to the room. These heaters are normally floor models at about $20, a lot better than the fancy Dyson or similar expensive junk. As with all heaters, do not use to dry clothes. All that does is turn the wetness in the clothes into steam to condense on your windows, increase the heat loss at the window (due to water touching the glass and providing a medium for heat transfer) and increase your heating costs... so a $5 worth of insulation or 1c of common sense is much better than $50 energy to heat.

I still would suggest water to drink rather than some manmade concoction. You are correct in that @FretaBWet is not only loosing water in the sweat, but there is more added junk that she doesn't need in the manmade supplements. She is partially urinating out her skin. That is why the diapers are dry and padding breaking up. A better product to drink would be salt water to replace the salt levels in her body, but that is also as insane as drinking gatorade or a manmade supplement. If she continues to drink water, she will replace the fluids. In a medical environment, NaCl 0.9% (salt water) is given via I.V. to replace lost fluids as it has been found the fastest way to 'perk up a paitent'. If her fluid level drops too much, she can take salt tablets - but with the midday break, I doubt if that is needed. The loss of other chemicals will be replaced within 8-12 hours (or more depending on ones metabolic rate) as the system rebalances. All she has to watch is that she does not stay out in the sun too long. She already explained that - early morning working in shade until shade is gone, break during full sun exposure and back to work in the evenings until sunset where the sun is less intense. That mid work break is critical for bodily health, and I'd presume that she is smart enough to rehydrate during those hours, and prob. nap for a while. It is almost as if you work in the marketing department of Gatorade! I would expect similar from europe in relation to Lucozade - another high energy high artificial sugar, high calorie drink that adds calories and is worse for the body in rebalancing its water levels than water alone. I recall the Carlsbeg commercial of a man in a desert with the quotes 'I'd fry an egg if I had an egg... I'd drink a Carlsberg if I had one" where most of us know that alcohol is a duretic = means will remove water etc. from the body. In life, there is a rule of 3... 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food = death.
