Open Question: What is causing us to be this color?

This is very interesting to me and I want to figure it out but I don't know how. You see, my mother makes a lot of spicy traditional food and average all american food. For some reason I have observed my siblings and mothers skin color. We all have started to become this green undertone unhealthy like color. My mother used to be light skinned before but over the years with being pregnant and sun damage, she has darkened. I used to have you know normal skin color but now for some reason just like my mother, I've become this yellowish darkish green. My siblings also have it. We were never like this before at all. My aunts are not like this, and my father isn't. Is it environment that is causing us to be like this or is it the Food? It isn't lights because i'm this sick green like color everywhere I go. What might should I have to change to be a normal face tone. Could it be stress? Food, environment? Is this permanent?! more

Open Question: Should certain drugs be legal?

I think drugs like pot, x, shrooms, and acid should be legal especially in the privacy of your own home. Pot: Pot is a harmless drug and I consider it a fun drug, meaning that its all fun and games and nothing can go wrong. You can't ever OD on it and that's a proven fact, not one person has died from pot. On the other hand Liquor and cigarettes have killed millions of people. It's also a proven fact that pot parties are much calmer then the traditional parties where people drink access amounts of liquor. When people drink at parties, it can get out of control and lead to screaming and pissing of neighbors or getting into fights. The biggest think you have to worry about when you have a pot party is having enough food for everyone. Shrooms: You usually do by yourself and watch some trippy videos on youtube or play video games, I don't see how watching trippy video for a few hours is hurting anyone. Acid: Its a proven fact that is less toxic then over the counter medications and prescription medication. Acid is also another drug you cannot OD on. Once again you are not hurting anyone by tripping out in the privacy of your own home. Extacy: As long as you are careful you can avoid dying from this drug. For those of you who bring up the LEAH BETTS story and say she died from taking X, that is completely false. She died from drinking to much water while rolling on E. X also doesn't make you violent, just the complete opposite. Certain drugs in moderation is not bad. I'm not saying do them every day or every month for that matter, but once in a while is not going to hurt you. more

Open Question: What is the average yearly cost of a vegan diet compared to a traditional meat-eating North American diet?

I realize this question leaves a lot of room for error but I am just wondering if anyone has a link or stats that would show the financial costs (only for food, not medical costs etc.) of these two diets for a year. I read that a vegan diet was much cheaper in John Robbin's book 'Diet for a New America', but he had no actual studies or facts. Anyhow, just curious, and many thanks for any and all help! Cheers.

Open Question: Gift for a Chinese teacher?

I've done a little googling and yahoo answer searching, but have found nothing specific to my question. I am a first year Chinese language student in an American college and I'd like to give my teacher a thank you gift before this semester is over. What is a traditional gift in China for a teacher? I know it's should be something useful, fruits are popular, and don't give anything in a set of four. Would something like a basketful of clementines be nice, with a pretty red bow on it? Maybe some Korean pears? My teacher often speaks of her hometown. She is from Tai'an in the Shandong province. I've read that the flower of the crepe myrtle tree is the city flower. Is there any taboo for giving young trees in China? I am also thinking of some sort of dish from Shandong cuisine. Is there anything I might be able to cook up, or would I be better off finding an authentic restaurant and ordering something from there? Is it weird to give food in China? Am I better off getting a gift card? Any other ideas? Any help is appreciated!@ frenchie waffles: i think you are right. a tree might be expensive. i dont want to give anything too expensive and have her feel like she has to reciprocate. @virgil: i appreciate your input, but i dont think any romantic confusion would happen in this case, lol! some more things: 1. i would LOVE it if input came from people who actually know a bit about Chinese culture. no offense but if you don't then it wouldn't be anymore helpful than anything i could think up myself. 2. i know asians seem to be all over herbs and supplements. is there any that is common as a gift, like ginseng? more

Open Question: Why do people go to the wedding reception?

Im getting married here soon and I have been trying to figure out food ideas for the wedding reception. Its not going to be a big wedding prob only about 125 guests and im on a budget with money. I have had a few ideas but im still not sure. I know most of the people that come to the wedding prob wont stay for the reception (we are not having alcoholic drinks) so i was thinking: 1. Pizza from a really great pizza place for everyone and also the traditional veggie and fruit plates 2. Finger foods, little sandwiches, chips and dip....stuff like that 3. Meat balls, little sausages, cheese crackers, fruit, veggie plates, punch....stuff like that but then another idea was to not have a reception for everyone and just have the wedding party go out for a nice dinner after the wedding ceremony and after a few weeks of getting settled into my new home and with my new family we would have a cook out at a local park thats really nice and have hamburgers and hot dogs....just like a regular cook out.....we live in Georgia by the way!!! 2 kids from previouse relationshiops mine is 14 months old and his is 9 years old!!! Another reason why money is tight!!!! IDEAS PLEASEall of the 125 guests are strickly family! I have a very big family of 5 brothers and sisters plus 5 additional step sisters and brother! We are having it in our church and the reception would take place in our fellowship hall at the church. So that part is not going to be very expensive. I already have my dress and bridesmaid dress. Cake is taken care of by family memeber, flowers are done by a co-worker, decoration is being done by womens church group! I just dont want to pay 5 or 6 hundred dollars for food. more

Resolved Question: Can I include certain things in the paperwork for a guardianship agreement?

In April, I am going to college, and my daughter will be living with either my sister or my mother. In the very beginning, my mother asked me if she could care for my daughter while I'm away, and I agreed, but then she sort of "fell of the face of Mom planet" (slept all day, yelled constantly for no reason, let her health deteriorate, let the house get *messy*, and kept about 20 animals. So then, my sister offered to care for my daughter, and I agreed because I saw it as a better option than my mom's house. Well, my sister already has the temporary legal guardianship, and WAS all set to get permanent guardianship at the end of April, but on Friday, I found out that her boyfriend has a violent temper (didn't think twice about hitting her while she was holding their daughter) and she's still going to allow him back into the home. So... I'm honestly considering my Mom again, because she HAS gotten a lot better. Granted, she didn't raise ME to be the most socially adept, healthy, or stable person there is, but that was a long time ago. She does still belittle me often, but I'll get to that in a minute. She's cleaned up the house 98% (even HER room), is going to the doctor's appointments to get her health back in order, doesn't sleep in the day anymore, and now only has about 10 animals (I know it's still a lot, but it's not 20). So, the thing is... two main reasons I was thinking my sister's house would be a lot better, were because she believes the same as I do on a lot of parenting issues, and my mother (really) doesn't. The main main ones are 1. Homeschooling, 2. Vegetarianism, and 3. Natural medicine. My mom, if left to her own devices, would feed my daughter junk food (and meat), send her to public school, and spoon feed her any medicine a traditional doctor recommends. BUT...even so, I can NOT have my daughter in a violent house-hold. I can't tell my sister to make her boyfriend move out, but if she's going to allow him to stay there, I can't have my daughter there either. So, my question is, IF I choose my mother to be guardian of my daughter... (especially considering she's now the "well you were chosen over her, so it better be good here" option) ...can I include in the paperwork for the guardianship agreement, that my mother is to homeschool my daughter, never feed her meat, use natural medicines when sick to their full possible extent, and receive ongoing counselling to un-learn this belittling and re-learn how to raise a child to be healthy and happy?And *don't* just tell me, "if you want her raised right, do it yourself." This is a highly selective school (read: won't get another shot), and requires freshmen to live on campus. Likewise, no comments on "shouldn't have opened your legs". She was conceived through rape, so I didn't really have that option. more

Resolved Question: fix this essay for grammar and common sense ?

A Saturday afternoon, I was laying on the couch looking for something to watch on the television. One channel was showing a documentary and catches my attention. The life of Elvis Presley was the documentary title. While looking to it I thought how it would be like having all his benefits in my life. Being famous is one advantage that public figures have on their lives. If I am well known in society, I will be able to influence people more easily. Instead of having a rebel spirit, I will keep a more traditional style when singing or dancing. That way I won’t be only admired by young people but also by adults who make an important part of society. I will live my life with more moral than he did making many people feel proud to be my admirer. Also I will pave a more positive path in history for others singers to follow. Not only fame, but also money, is a big benefit that public figures have. With all that wealth, I will be able to invest and gain money in the future. For example, I will open many restaurants named after me which serve Cuban food. Another investment will be hotels near the beach so the rooms will have beautiful views of the ocean. Inside the hotels will be many attractions like malls, pools and parks for the children. With the money that is left over, I will donate it to campaigns that provide food for those who need it. In addition to the money I will make from the investments, I will carefully take care of my health. I will try not to take many drugs even when is prescript from a doctor. Instead of taking pills, I will maintain a healthier way of eating, watch my weight and do exercise. This routine will keep me in shape to a more successful career avoiding to become a caricature of public gossips. By doing this, I will have an inseparable family that will be proud of me and what I have done in my work. All the things I planned to do are not that easy when you are on his shoes. When someone is famous is influenced by all the ways they have to have fun even when those things harm them. So, if they think serious and carefully about what to do in their famous life, they can make it almost perfect or at least make people feel they have done the best they can. I know the conclusion is horrible if you can make it more clear or give better ideas i will be so thankful, it is for tomorrow and i haven't sleep its 3 am in the morning D: and i will give 5 stars to the best answer thank you a lot !! =) more

Resolved Question: Do i have any grammar/spelling mistakes? ( My food tech homework )?

Hi, this is my food tech assignment. And i really want full marks. Can you spot any grammar mistakes? thank you so much! And if you think you can make my assignment sound BETTER you can add more information for me ;) thanks! <b> 2.Describe in detail the traditional Aboriginal preparation and cooking methods. </b> The Aboriginals did not farm the land or tame animal or pets. They had to work hard because the main method of harvesting Australian native foods is gathering. The Aboriginals did not have electricity so they could not use the microwave and other electronic devices to cook their foods like we do now. When a boy is around six years old, he had to join the men to learn hunting skills while the girls remain with the women to learn the skills of food gathering. Both women and men had their own individual roles. Women had to gather plants such as bush tomatoes, bush apples, plums, berries, nuts, roots, seeds, shoots and leaves. Women also collected small animals and insects such as honey ants, witchetty grubs, birds, snakes and tortoises. The role of the men was hunting. They hunt for kangaroos, wallabies, emus and possums to the camp. They also hunted for crocodiles, fish, ducks, shellfish and platypi from the water. Plant foods and shellfish may be prepared by the women while the men hunted and prepare kangaroos and emus. The native Aboriginals used both wet and dry ingredients to create food. To process their dry goods, they had to grind leaves and dry them under the sun. To process their wet goods, they had to infuse their goods such as vinegar oil, or in chutneys for meat or fish. Men had to hunt every single day since there weren’t any refrigerators to preserve the food. <b> 3.Describe in detail the contemporary uses of Australian native foods. </b> Some Australians aren’t adapting to the diet of bush tucker foods, instead they are following the European’s diet which isn’t as healthy as the Australian native foods. Most Australians would be terrified to try some of the Australian native foods such as goannas or grubs. Traditional and native/bush foods are becoming popular such as kangaroos, emus and crocodiles. There is some native Australian or bush tucker foods that are available commercially through the supermarket chains and some native plant foods are readily available in some specialty shops. Contemporary Australian food has been described as using the best seasonal ingredients combined with other cuisines such as Indian, European and Asian cuisines. Many native Australian foods are eaten regularly at restaurants in Australia. more

Resolved Question: What do we do when the wedding of our dreams is becoming the wedding of our nightmares?

In the beginning, we were so happy and carefree. We knew what we wanted and we were positive it would all work out. Now it's become a fiasco. My dads family is Italian-Catholic and wants a traditional full blown Catholic wedding. My mother's family wants a traditional Jewish family. Like their families did when my parents got married, they are now fighting over what we should do with our families. My fiance's family wants a traditional, conservative Southern Baptist wedding. Neither of our families have even paid attention to the fact that we are Atheists, do not want a full blown religious ceremony and would be happier if our friend presided over our short, informal ceremony. His divorced mother and father absolutely hate each other and can't be in a room together for even a minute to talk about details with us. My mother hates his stepmother, his stepfather hates my father. His sisters are a nightmare trying to dictate to me what everyone should wear. My siblings couldn't care less if we got married on the moon. I try to sneak out with my MOH to try on dresses but someone always finds out where we're going and before I know it half my family is at the bridal store telling me what is appropriate, what makes me look fat, what is slutty, etc. My family wants tons of food and tons of drinks. His family wants Hors d'œuvres and non alcoholic beverages. His grandparents think it's inappropriate to having dancing at our reception. My grandparents can't even come to my reception. We're fighting all the time because of this mess. At first we knew what we wanted and we agreed and compromised on everything but now (because our families are paying) our families are inserting themselves into every aspect of the wedding. But now we're trying so hard to keep the peace with everyone that we're taking it out on each other. Then I come home the other day to find my soon to be mother-in-law sitting in my living room with some strange man who I learn is a wedding coordinator and is going to plan everything for me so I don't have to lift a finger. This is code for "Honey I don't want this to be an event for you two. I want this to be some ridiculous soiree that reflects my style, my taste and my wants." Now my mother is attempting to top her in extravagance because they both feel they should compete with each other. I want our families to celebrate with us but they have all gone insane. I'm stressed, I'm frustrated, I'm hurt and I'm angry all the time. This is suppose to be happy and exciting and now I wake up everyday dreading what is going to happen next. I know this time is suppose to be a test to see how we can handle rough situations when we're married so now I'm worried this just isn't meant to be for us. more

Resolved Question: Braces & Orthodontist questions.?

I have a couple of questions about braces before getting them. Orthodontists: 1. I have already done my mould and x-rays. Can I change my orthodontists even if I have already done so? I don't want to seem like I'm being rude to them. Braces: 2. I will be getting Self Ligating braces, not the Damon brand though. I forgot which brand but it's the same type they told me. But they told me that traditional braces and self ligating braces were the same price. Why is that? I've been reading about self ligating/damon braces and they seem to be more expensive than traditional braces. 3. I'm being charged $6000 for either type of braces. My price should be $4500 after insurance. Am I being over charged? I live in Northern California. This is my only concern as to why I might want to change my orthodontist. I know I shouldn't base it all on this but I am kind of tight on money right now. I most likely won't change though. 4. Is there any type of vitamins/other I can take or mix with my food/drinks to help maintain or gain weight? I'm already really skinny and I feel like if I get braces, I won't be able to eat like I have before, which wasn't great to begin with so I'm worried about this as well. Thanks for any help! more

Voting Question: Can you live on Vitamin Pills and White Bread?

Can you live a super healthy life on rice/bread/some other source of energy and vitamin pills? Most people who eat healthy follow a certain diet, and some foods are truly good for you in some ways and have cured(supposedly) many problems. Which brings up my questions about vitamin pills. Shouldn't they make you super healthy if taken one a day? The only reasons I can think of that they don't are: -they are not fully absorbed -the artificial nutrients are inferior to natural ones -they do not contain all vitamins and minerals the first one can be solved by eating more(iron free ones) and I'm not sure about the chemistry and the possible differences. The main thing is with the third one. Despite the huge list of vitamins listed on the side, most people are not nutritionists and do not know what they do. I'm sure there are many people who don't even know what Vitamin C does. (anti-oxidant, prevents oxidation, why apples turn brown, lemon juice or w/e on it should stop/slow the process. lowers amounts of free radicals in body which prevents damaging chemical reactions) So: -How many nutrients/minerals are there out there? They have to be healthy -About how many or what percentage are included in daily vitamins for adults. I'm sure the children's versions contains less of some things...but aside from iron I don't know of any other "dangerous" nutrients. -Other explanations of things above would be appreciated. Most people don't eat daily multi-vitamins I think, and not all of them can keep up the daily schedule. From watching house, lacking vitamin K apparently makes you spit up blood so are these vitamins extraneous? Some things like green tea, sesame seeds, and various herbs and fungi seem to contain ingredients that offer miracle-like results. -What nutrients can scientists artificially create? Are traditional cure alls derived from strange bugs,plants, and animals the source of un-imitable super nutrients? Personally have taken vitamins everyday, the costco brand. Got lazy after a month or so, didn't really feel a difference. Perhaps everything is in the mind. Might as well be condensed color starch pills...=/ (Though I'm 19, so by body hasn't really started falling apart yet so maybe older people feel a difference?) Just wondering why there are movements and speeches to eat healthier when these pills supposedly offer all the benefits. more

Resolved Question: Any advice on Oahu Vacation? Couple of 20-somethings trying to have an awesome time?

My boyfriend and I are going to Oahu for 7 days in a little less than 2 weeks. I'm trying to find out what sights would be best to check out, we're not trying to just spend the whole time at the hotel in the pool, we actually want to see Hawaii and not just a tour bus. So with this being said any advice on best places to see/ things to do. Also if you have restaurant suggestions that aren't crazy expensive and that feature traditional Hawaiian/ Polynesian food, or anything really besides burgers and fries that would be great.

Resolved Question: Who should pay for what in a marriage if one partner has more money?

A close friend of mine inherited over 800 million when her grandfather passed away. She works at Hachette Filipacchi Medias (I dont know her pay) and her fiance is an attorney and makes around $120,000 a year. Although she works, she still plays the "perfect" housewife. She does all the cooking and all the cleaning while he pays for all the household bills except food, which she pays for. He pays for his own medical, dental and car insurance as does she. Ok I know this is totally none of my business so I chose not to mention it to her but I thought I'd ask other peoples opinions on who should pay what when one partner has way more money than the other. Does this seem fair to you? She has millions and she's paying for hardly nothing. She believes she's keeping it traditional but I just think it's ridiculous. Am I being naive for thinking husband and wife should share everything? Chores, bills, SOME money. Do insanely rich people think differently? more

Resolved Question: People of Portugal: What are you having for dinner?

Someone said American Portuguese food isn't much like they eat in Portugal. So, if you live in Portugal, what did you have for dinner tonight? Last night?

Spain is geographically close. I'd ask this in Portuguese but I don't speak it. more

I have been assigned a report by my french teacher, Madame Britnell, to prepare a traditional french food by Monday, March 8th.

Resolved Question: Why fast if you are not really doing it to benefit your faith?

It's that time again...Lent. The time where co-workers tell you that they gave up coffee, chocolate or some other food. Maybe they give up something more worthwhile such as smoking or swearing. Although those are beneficial. Is that really the purpose of Lent? Lent is supposed to be a time of fasting. The three traditional practices to be taken up with renewed vigour during Lent are prayer (justice towards God), fasting (justice towards self), and almsgiving (justice towards neighbour). It is to be 40 days to represent the 40 day temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. Why did he fast? It was a time for reflection, clearing the mind, focusing on the work before him, a time for prayer. How does not drinking coffee do that for someone? I just don't see the point in doing a fast, determined by church tradition and society. Should we fast?There are several verses that show that fasting is a good thing to do, but at a time when we feel the need to do it. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. (Matthew 6:16-18) When you fast, don't tell everyone so you can show how "religious" you are. I don't think that's the point in it. Will God be pleased with me if I fast?Whether we fast or not does not affect our standing with God. We cannot earn immortality; it is a gift that God will give to those who believe His word. I disagree with Lent, however I do agree with the aim to bring people to focus on God. It doesn't really do that. Maybe people will give up having pre-maritial sex and pray and focus on God's word and realize God hates it...maybe they will choose to stop spending so much money on going to restaurants...that's a struggle for them....just like Christ's suffering. With that soapbox....do you think Lent should be kept, if so, what are you giving up and how will it make you closer to God?Wow, this question refers to "Lent" not just not eating for health reasons. ..Serious answers please.Star, I don't stop people, nor would I judge them. I wouldn't say anything unless asked. Giving up a vise is not as strengthening as giving up sinful acts or using the time in earnest prayer. It is more of a "see if I can do it" thing. My opinion...you don't have to agree :)Cutrio, Yes, I do. I have read a good deal about it. I wouldn't disagree with something I don't understand. Your parish, celebrates it differently. There are various denominations that celebrate Lent, some at other times of the year. My focus is on why celebrate Lent as giving up coffee or chocolate or the likes...how does "to see if I can make it 40 days" even come into the definition of this church tradition. more

Resolved Question: Haitian food favorites?

Hi! I am doing a school food drive going directly to Haiti, through a local organization. The food is going to an orphanage for children and we need to find foods Haitian children would like. Have any traditional food ideas ? Include sources if possible. THANKS! These supplies go to an independent organization, NOT the Red Cross. This organization specializes in shipping SUPPLIES out, and puts money towards doing this. They send out a lot of supplies and are making a difference, to say only send money would be ignorant. If you think we should only send money, please don't try to convince me. I've seen what great work this organization does. more
