By the way, it is also undesirable to keep fighting fish in such conditions.
2. To save a life during a heart attack it is possible with the help of a tablet of aspirin, which must be thoroughly chewed.

6. If everyone who visits the toilet closes the toilet lid, the unpleasant odor will be blown out of the vent pipe.
