    Gas or Electric

    Looks like gas is the clear winner here. I have only ever used electric stoves, and where I currently live (in a condo) electric is the only option as there is no gas service at all. I rarely have any problems with things cooking at too high of a temperature. Through experience, I've...

    Bumper Sticker Quotes

    Keep your butt in your car... The world is not your ashtray! On a side note: I always thought people in the Pacific Northwest were supposed to be environmentally conscious, but when I moved from Southern California to Washington, I was appalled by the amount of litter along the highways...

    Canker sores...

    I used to get canker sores fairly often, but haven't had any in several years now. I used to use a product called Orabase B which was a white paste in a small tube that would form a sort of "skin" over the canker sore while numbing the area (and also the side of your tongue or anything else...

    odd cat behavior

    I would say that it's very likely that your cat is upset about the new kitten. We had the same problem. We originally had one cat and she's fairly old (in her teens). We got a new cat a couple of years ago, and our original cat would hiss constantly. She was mostly upset when the other cat...

    OUCH! TMJ!?!

    You don't happen to chew gum, do you? My mom had some severe jaw pain when she used to chew gum constantly through the day, but it went away when she stopped her gum-chewing habit. You may find some helpful info at The TMJ Association website: http://www.tmj.org/ Check out "self help" under...

    Beer

    Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter and Oatmeal Stout are really good too. Also Old Peculier, Burt Grant's Imperial Stout, and Belgian beers such as Orval, Duvel, and Corsendonk. Those are very flavorful. As far as I'm concerned, if beer doesn't have a good flavor, why drink it? I also believe...

    Butter vs. Margarine

    loribee, I've seen those butter keepers before, and I believe my parents just got one recently. I'll have to ask them how it works. When you get yours, let us know how it works out. I might have to try that out. Are you going to be putting your stick butter in there, or the whipped? I...

    Genesis 18: 20-33

    As I see it, these verses show Abraham asking or pleading with the Lord to spare the city of Sodom if ten righteous people can be found within it. The Lord says that he will not destroy it if ten can be found. I assume that this can be extended to mean that even if a single righteous person is...

    I tend to go for their mellower tracks, like Fake Plastic Trees from The Bends and Sail to the Moon from Hail to the Thief.

    Radiohead fans unite!!!

    Personally, I think Radiohead is awesome. I also like Yes, and they're considered "progressive rock" which a lot of people can't get into. If someone doesn't like or understand Radiohead, let 'em. That's their preference. I can't stand a lot of metal bands. Someone else would tell me that...

    Bible question

    I would say that you should read your Bible once or twice a day, and try reading through the Bible once per year, possibly reading the New Testament twice. There are a lot of Bible reading schedules available at various web sites. But personally, I think what is most important is to read...

    Alcohol & the Body

    Could it also be that the first few times one drinks, the sensations are new and unusual. Then as we get used to how it feels, we desire more sensation, requiring a little more alcohol? I've found that my reaction to alcohol is pretty much the same as it has always been. Though I drink more...

    Butter vs. Margarine

    Is Canola oil actually bad? I was looking for info on canola oil, and the one of the first things I saw was Snopes.com talking about an urban legend about canola oil. The only other information I could find was from a couple of herbal remedy sites and the site listed above that have the same...

    Butter vs. Margarine

    Butter I used to always use margarine because I thought it was better for you. Then a neighbor of mine who does a lot of research on health told me that the things they do to the oils to make margarine solid make it much worse for you than butter. The only thing I hate about butter is...
