If your sore throat is from post-nasal drip try salt water sinus irrigation. You can use a Neti pot, a bulb syringe, or special syringes sold for this purpose. Otherwise gargle with salt water. If it doesn't clear up in a few days go to your doctor.
I've been a vegetarian for 28 years. I believe it has been good for my health. The main reason I became a vegetarian was for health reasons. I think you can have a healthy diet without being a vegetarian but most people would be better off if they c...
All of the imitation crab meat I know of is made from mild fish that is ground, flavored, and molded to make it look and taste like crab. There may be vegetarian versions available but in general immitation crab is still fish.
Probably the best books on vegetarian nutrition are from Dean Ornish. He is one of the few doctors who have been successful reversing heart disease though diet. Knowledge is your best bet to convince your mom. To me someone who eats fish is not a ...
Certainly walking 5 miles is good for you and will help you loose weight. For many years I took a 1 hour walk every evening. I've found that building muscle helps a lot for weight loss. If you do some strength training I think you will find that y...
Hate to say it but you will sell more if you push products. When I first started to work in retail I assumed that intelligent people would decide if they wanted something or not and my job was just finding what they were looking for and letting them d...
I've been a vegetarian for 28 years but to tell the truth I never tried to make my daughter one. I think a vegetarian diet is better for you, better for animals, and better for the environment so I'd certainly be supportive of her being one but I thin...
One article I read suggested there really are two Americas that indeed can never reconcile. It went on to suggest that liberal New England, West coast, and Great Lake states should succeed from the US and become part of Canada because Canada is more...
Can you give us an example of what you speak?
For a country that prides itself on living by the word of law everyone should be able to have their day in court. Of course he isn't a US citizen so I'm not sure what his constitutional rights are but even he should be allowed to make his case.
My ex- was one of the smartest people I ever met. She started college with no idea what she wanted to do. She picked psychiatry but dropped out after the first few classes didn't do much for her. She did manage to get a pretty good state job that di...
A young sailor was excited to meet the oldest sailor in the marina to hear some of his stories. When he met the old sailor he didn't disappoint because he certainly looked the part. He had a peg leg, a hook for one hand and a patch over one eye. The...
As far as how common your name is I found this site: http://www.babynames1000.com/skylar/ The year you were born 0.0279% of boys were named Skylar and 0.0356% of girls.
There is a certain percentage of voters who would never vote for Obama because he is black and there is a certain percentage of voters who will vote for him because he is black. Personally I don't care what a candidate's skin color is, I'm only intere...
I do know that Rand rejected the term Libertarianism but I'm not aware of her rejecting its core principals. She chose to represent her ideology as Objectivism because she thought libertarianism sounded made up and didn't have a good ring to it. Even...
Of course he will be remembered. We know every president we have had since George Washington. It will come down to how he will be remembered. Geroge W. Bush will continue to be a polarizing figure 100 years from now. I believe that by objective m...
Going vegetarian does not guaranty a healthy diet. After all, potato chips and soda are vegan. As long as you eat a variety of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits you need not worry about protein. There is protein in nearly all plant foods. Mos...
Unlikely. In theory non-ionizing radation is not energetic enough to change the structure of molecules unless it is powerful enough to cause heating (like a microwave oven works). Cell phone transmitters are low power and to extend battery life furth...
My brother had a friend who joined the Navy. This friend's family didn't have much money but he saved his Navy pay for a long time and got a nice MG Midget. He loved that car and was heartbroken when someone stole the luggage rack off of it. After t...
flossheal, Ayn Rand wrote a book, "The Virtue of Selfishness" To tell the truth I never read it though I started it a few times. While Ms. Rand's fiction isn't bad I never thought much of her philosophical works. She argues that the ultimate moral v...
My favorite fast food chain is Chipotle Mexican Grill. Good healthy food with no additives, hormones, etc. The thing to remember is that their monster burritos can top 1,000 kcal so if you ware watching your calories you might need to make it into 2 ...
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are in all living things, plant and animal. Our bodies can manufacture most amino acids. The few amino acids we can not manufacture ourselves are called essential amino acids since we must get them...
jimahl: Zealots have been saying the rapture is just around the corner for years and years. It has been longer than that. Jesus' deciples expected his return during their lifetime. There was such a frenzy of end-of-time predictions around 1000...
The division sign of a dash with dots above and below "รท" is generally not used outside of elementary mathematics so for most computer users it isn't needed. There are a limited number of keys on the keyboard so infrequently used symbols have to be le...
Caffeine is a drug. It peps you up and it also elevates your mood. When I got my first desk job part of the year I worked on textbook orders. I had an in stack of textbook requests from professors on the left corner of my desk and I had of completed...
A lot of people find them self is a similar situation. It is oh so easy to borrow money that borrowers can be over their head before they know it. People lie about their finances because most people are ashamed to admit that they have not managed the...
The easiest way to go is to download iTunes. You can download it for free though a disc should have come with your iPod. If you have mp3s iTunes can import them and put them on your iPod when you sync it. You can also rip songs from any CDs you ow...
I love coffee also. I've been trying to cut down though because I don't think it is healthy to drink too much of it. Occasionally I have to work all night and when I do coffee gets me through the night. I used to drink it all day but now I reserve it...
Generally everyone agrees that refined sugar of any kind is not good for you. Refined sugar reflects empty calories, calories with no fiber, vitamins, or minerals. Many in the nutrition field believe that High Fructose Corn Syrup is especially bad be...
An interesting branch of Libertarianism is Objectivism. I never found Ayn Rand a compelling philosopher. Her best ideas were warmed over Neitzsche. I'm still suprised by how many otherwise reasonable people consider themselves Objectivists.
I already am pretty much bald so that wouldn't be so bad. Being a former art model being naked in front of strangers doesn't really bother but to tell the truth I'm such an awful singer I *WOULD* be embarassed about other people hearing me sing so I g...
I don't think roll model is in their job description. I don't think the problem is so much their bad behavior but rather that everyone expects them to be roll models. They are human beings with their own flaws. The fact that that they have money a...
I went through a Libertarian phase in my early 20's. In my evolution from a conservative to a liberal I made a small detour to libertarianism but while it is interesting as an ideology I don't see it being useful as a practical way of doing things. I...
The only pro to it is that smokers enjoy smoking. Cigarettes are expensive, smokers spend many $thousands over the years on cigarettes. Cigarettes also make you sickly. Smokers miss twice as many days of work as non-smokers. If you smoke ciga...
Most brown sugar is white sugar with a little molasses added so it is just as likely to be filtered through animal bones as white sugar.. There is a product called "Sugar in the Raw" that is not filtered and is indeed vegan. This would be a good su...
There is protein in almost all plant foods. it really isn't necessary to eat high fat foods to get your protein. Vegetarian diets can be low fat or high fat depending on your food choices. If you want more information about low fat vegetarian di...
PSP's take Memory Stick Pro Duo cards instead of the more common and cheaper SD cards. If you are only saving your characters and progress in games even a 256MB card is sufficient and you can pick these up cheap when you can find them. I've seen th...
In general because Mr Obama is young, attractive, articulate, and charismatic. Of course it helps that the Bush presidency has been so ineffective. After 8 years of our country loosing ground in almost every conceivable way being for change is the ...
For my 5 year old it is a power thing. When she was 3 she was eager to feed herself even though she was very messy. At 5 she wants to be babied. My daughter has a stubborn streak you wouldn't believe! I can't imagine where she got that ;) Of cou...
I thought "I Am Legend" was ok. It was better than "Omega Man." I also thought Castaway was ok but nothing to write home about. I really enjoyed "O Brother Where Art Thou" though.
Not sure about all times but the worst movie I've seen in a long time was "Eyes Wide Shut." This movie even makes an orgy scene boring and depressing. Even seeing Nicole Kidman's lovely naked body was not enough to save this awful movie. The story i...
Has this become a power struggle? Often kids that age will turn everything into a contest to see who has the stronger will. You decide your son must feed yourself and your son decides that you must feed him. As harsh as this sounds you can never let ...
You need to find a really good orthopedic surgeon. In general once knees are injured they are problematic for life. I know you like dance but you need to find out if your continuing to do this is going to put you on crutches later in life. When I st...
You need more than just pasta to be healthy. Typical pasta is made from white flour which is a refined carbohydrate. White flour is wheat that has its germ and bran removed then what remains is nearly pure carbohydrate which is ground so it enters yo...
No I don't believe in God. All the various god stories just seem to unlikely to me.
Its a private event so they can do as they please. Even outside smoking can be really obnoxious. When the university I worked for banned professors from smoking they went outside the doors to get a fix. Often there would be such a cloud of smoke a...
I wouldn't say we have an abundance of oil in the US. The US oil production hit its peak in the 1970s; it has been all downhill from there. There is more oil down there but it is getting increasingly difficult and expensive to extract. When oil was ...
It is hard to do much better than mp3. You can of course reduce the bitrate for mp3s to get smaller files but you also reduce the fidelity as well. Of the widely available formats wma can compres a bit better than mp3. Just make sure your player s...
There are a lot of different scholarships. Some are merit based and some are not. Some are based on financial need. Some have multiple criteria. At the university I went to I was offered a work scholarship if I majored in physics but I only wanted ...
mjax1979: Everyone has 20/20 hindsight. Based on what Truman thought and believed I can not fault him for using nuclear weopons to end WWII. While today we think of wars as being limited to military targets and civilian casualties as colaterol dama...
