I have a number of outstanding blog questions. The first is- what is a lumper. According to the free dictionary, a lumper is: “a laborer who loads and unloads vessels in a port dock worker, dock-walloper, docker, dockhand, loader, longshoreman, stevedorelaborer, labourer, manual laborer, jack - someone who works with their hands; someone engaged in manual labor”.
The next question is: Is vaseline hazardous to your health? After doing some research on the internet there are conflicting results. Which is to be expected, since it is the internet. The claim against vaseline seems to involve problems with impurities that are carcinogens, not that the vaseline is itself a carcinogen. The European Union banned its usage in cosmetics, unless specially refined, in 2004, according to this and a number of other websites.
Lastly- where are persimmons from? The answer? Persimmons
originated in the mountains of central china.
