Krispy Kreme has really good plain glazed donuts but their cake donuts are not very good. Dunkin Donuts used to sell a sour cream cake donut that was really good but I haven't seen it for years. Their old fashion cake donut isn't bad.
If your prints are too dark than you are either exposing your paper too long or developing them to long. Not sure why your print is coming out darker than the exposure and development you determine by your test strip but something is going wrong. ...
I went to the University of North Texas (then North Texas State University). I studied music and North Texas has one of the top music schools and had an unbelievable jazz program. The only jazz program that was considered competitive with NT's was ...
Not sure about $trillions (plural) but I have little doubt we will hit a $trillion soon if we haven't already. I don't see any way we could stop bleeding money immediately. I'm not sure how bad things will get before they can be turned around. T...
I'd never do that and I never heard of anyone doing that in the last 40 years. My mom acted like it was common in her day though. She mentioned that deodorant soap tasted a lot worse than Ivory. I do have a neighbor who keeps vinegar in a spray bo...
I think one of the reasons I'm such a rotten speller is because growing up on the Canadian boarder I saw both American and Canadian spelling. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why "defense" and "defence" looked equally correct to me. Turns...
It's perfectly normal. Just don't worry about it.
I've been bringing my own bags to grocery stores for over 20 years. I used to use canvas bags that I could wash when they got nasty. Now I have some heavy plastic bags with a bit of insulation and stiff sides that once you get a few items in stand up...
I've studied the Bible on occasion. In my case the more I understand about Christianity the less likely it seems to me. I think there is a lot of truth in the Bible but in what it means not its literal truth. Often it is believers who believe that i...
I'm an atheist because I no longer believe in God.
I know he used to smoke but he has promised to quit. Not sure if he has been successful yet.
Laundry bleach and pool chlorine basically do the same thing. They use chlorine to oxidise things you don't want. Stains in the case or laundry detergent and bacteria, fungus, and pool stains in the case of pool chlorine. Standard household bleach...
Men carrying and delivering offspring seems to be an unlikely evolutionary direction for mankind. I know of one example of this in the animal kingdom though. Male sea horses receive the egg from the female and then nutrutre and deliver it. I do se...
I don't think it will be long. I think it is more likely that the first woman president will be a Republican than a Democrat though. The Democrats currently win the majority of the female vote; the Republicans will run a woman to try to capture this ...
First of all, it should be easier for honest hardworking foreigners who want to be Americans to become citizens. I've read of 20 year waiting lists for some countries. Secondly, there should be real penalties for employers who knowing employee ille...
Part of Obama's plan is a tax credit for every American job created. This could change the economics of outsourcing a bit. At this point our economy is so screwed up that the only way get Americans back to work is with something like the WPA. Of c...
seao2florida: I don't have faith God doesn't exist. I simply can not find any good reason to believe he/she/it does.
todaly, most pools use chlorine to sanitize them. Most pool chlorine is basically bleach with additives. You are better off using pool shock than household bleach. I shock my pool ever week when it is being used or when temperatures are above 80F. ...
Actually, you use both sides of your brain all the time. There is creativity in even the most repetitive activity and there is organization in even the most creative.
toadaly, I consider marriage to be a civil rights issue that the federal government should have jurisdiction over. Let's say that some backward southern state decided that they would not allow interracial marriage and even passed a law that said that ...
Amazing. They are the angriest, darkest, and heaviest band I know of. I got turned onto this band from a guy who fought in Iraq. They used to listen to Slipknot to get in the right frame of mind for battles.
It depends. Our Articles of Confederation gave states much more rights than they have under our constitution but this proved unworkable. Our civil war was fought over state's rights. The South favoring a weaker federal governent and more autonomous ...
The dog is showing dominance. Dogs are pack animals. If the dog doesn't recognize its owner as the alpha male in its "pack" than it will be impossible to have any sort of discipline over it. Some dogs can not be dominated; these dogs are dangerous...
I've had similar experiences. I have a very conventional appearance so people don't have any idea that I'm a bleeding heart liberal. I guess I just look like a conservative good-old-boy. I've been talking to strangers who start on some tirade agains...
Gosh we got into a lot of stuff. When we were home alone we used to get out my dad's Katana that he got in Japan in the 1950's. We used to swing it around like we were Samauri; luckily we didn't sever any limbs. Sometimes we used to take his shotgun...
I have the exact same problem. When I'm bored I feel like eating. A lot of people eat when they are stressed but when I feel stressed I don't eat a thing. When I'm bored I'll eat even when I'm not the least bit hungry. I just have to try to keep ...
As I said elsewhere I think McCain would have been 1000% better a president than George W Bush if he got the Republican nod for 2000. He was a politician I respected even though I didn't always agree. Like religionisgood said, he sold out to get th...
I think the best man for the job was Dennis Kucinich. I never thought Kuchinch would get the Democratic nomination though. America just isn't ready for Dennis Kucinich yet. I voted for Obama because though not my first choice is far better than hi...
Her political career will depend on the future direction of the Republican party. If the Republican party continues to cater to the reactionary religious right and continues its anti-intellectual faux populist bent she has a bright future in the par...

texas_poke_her: all plant food has protein. Vegetarians get plenty of protein from their diet. Actually carbs are the prefered fuel for our bodies. In fact protein we don't use to repair tissue must be converted to carbohydrates before we can use it...
I'll add my voice to the tenor here. When a child is 9 years old they need to understand that there are boundaries. Curiosity is normal; your son isn't doing anything wrong by being curious; you just have to be the adult and teach your son that this ...
Of course I don't believe in spirits so nothing is spiritual but then again you did put quotes around it ;) For me throwing myself into exercise is the most common way I attain an altered state of consciousness. I used to meditate but I really don'...
The technique of letting babies cry longer and longer before comforing them was popularized by pediatrition Richard Ferber. In fact many refer to this as Ferberizing. Suffice it to say that I strongly disagree with this. Babies and young children ...
The only vitamin that can be difficult to get is B12 and generally that is only a problem for strict vegans. Vegetarians generally do have lower levels of iron than meat eaters but anemia is rare. Vitamin D can also be tricky if you don't eat seafood...
Most gyms have orientation sessions where they will show you how to use the equipment and they will generally set you up with a good first exercise program. My last gym pushed new members to use hydraulic resistance machines on the aerobics floor an...
It will be interesting to see if the Republican party will find a new direction. After Reagan was elected and made conservativism "cool" the Democratic party reinvented itself as a more centrist party. Now that Obama won will the Republican party...
I noticed that Obama did not run nearly as negative a campaign as McCain. McCain was criticized by his party for not running an even more negative campaign than he did. In his interview with Rachel Maddow he said the reason he didn't attack the Rep...
I made one interesting connection. I'm a fan of Formula1 auto racing. For those who don't know this year Lewis Hamilton won the championship. When Hamilton won the championship I heard announcers repeatedly mention that he was the first British dr...
I couldn't be prouder. America choose inclusion, hope, and courage over division, self-righteousness, and fear. I didn't know that it would be possible for America to elect a black man to the highest office in the land in my lifetime even if he w...
I don't think eating meat is right or wrong. It's a personal decision. Humans are omnivores meaning that we can live on plant or animal foods. When you look at our bodies we are much closer to herbivores than carnivores. Our ability to eat meat h...
I used to like McCain. He always seemed like a pretty good guy. I have no doubt that the country and the world would be in a much better place today if McCain was elected in 2000 instead of Bush. He pretty much sold his soul to get the 2008 Republic...
Women are supposed to have hips. Women are wider on bottom because their birth canal has to be wide enough for a baby to pass through. Women are also supposed to have a bit more body fat than men. Your question makes me think that you do have a di...
If Obama died and Biden assumed the presidency I believe it would be up to him to appoint a new vice president. When Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew resigned Nixon chose Gerald Ford as his replacement. In turn when Nixon resigned Gerald Ford assumed the pre...
Absolutely yes! Your #3 I sthe most important reason to me. I'm a Democrat in a dark red state so there is no way I can affect the election. My parents are Republicans in a dark blue state so there is no way they can affect the election. Cand...
They each have their advantages. Plasma: Pros: darker blacks, better contrast, more accurate colors, wider viewing angle, can be cheaper Cons: Heat, high energy usage (even higher than CRTs) can "burn in" static images, lower resolution compar...
I've been around longer than most here and something I've noticed is that every presidential election seems to be more vicious than the last. I don't know what the endgame is here. If the trend continues I don't see how we can have any sort of mean...
Someone who likes full size fast food burgers will probably like the dollar menu offerings fine as well. Wendy's even has a few healthy things on their dollar menu like a baked potato, side salad, and fruit cup. When I was in high school the whole ...
