Wine A Little, You will Feel Better....

Kimberley I'd love to see some of your slate paintings. I did a couple of slate roof tiles that had been removed from an 1880's legislative building in Toronto.

Is a tomato better eaten raw or cooked?

Bellapop @Bellapop (1279) 1 Jul 10

The obvious reason seems to be raw, but I just wanted to check because in a previous discussion someone said that if you cooked the tomatoes, the 'lypocene' - is it 'lypocene' (please feel free to correct me)? The lypocene breaks...

Kimberley Don't confuse cooking with heating. There are other ways of cooking besides using heat and it's heat that destroys nutrients. That's why processed food is of no value to us; one of the main processes used is heat. xoxo Cyne

A little while ago I saw a post about a mylotter who had an almost dead plant. She had almost thrown it away and the plant came back to life after some days. She then asked us if we had had similar experiences. I felt this was...

discriminations to Gothic People

tammy27 @tammy27 (1241) • Philippines 29 Apr 11

ok, so im a Goth, and these discriminations are somehow normal to me. there was even a time when my own family discriminated me from being who i am. but what i want to know is your thoughts, mylotters... what do you think about...

Kimberley Personally, I'm not into the gothic style myself, but I say to each his own. You go to your church, and I'll go to mine. Given that I'm a minority myself, I have noticed discrimination. While not overtly or maliciously, there are definite subtle things...

Hi! I already read some answer about blogs, but I haven't found exactly what I want. I'd like to open a blog. I'm studying and working so I'll not update it daily. I would know what do you think it's the better site to open a...

suspenseful @suspenseful (40192) • Canada 13 Apr 11

I fell on the ice and broke my knee cap, so now I am in a cast in my right leg. Now I am the type of person who does not loose when I am sick or cannot move around, I gain. So keeping my leg up all day and resting in the chair...

Kimberley Wow! I feel your pain. 3 yrs ago I fell on the ice and crushed my ankle. I still have a great deal of pain and walk with a limp. I had the double sided surgery that put in a plate and about a dozen screws. I just got them out last year. My ankle is still...

Would you be interested in alternative houseing designs if they were available?

uath13 @uath13 (8192) • United States 8 Apr 11

Kimberley Developers, like every other big business out there is only interested in maximizing the bottom line. Safety be dam*ed and sustainability be dam*ed. These types of homes may sell, and at a profit, but using cheap materials allows for bigger profits; that's...

Kimberley Learning has nothing to do with what you'll actually use otherwise, most of us would get by on learning how to use a cash register or stock a store shelf. Learning is about expanding the mind and keeping your brain active. The brain needs exercise just as...

Kimberley Hey Jennyze, I started a similar discussion a while back about whether or not people will add friends or wait to be added. I'm like you, I don't like rejection, so I tend to be more likely to wait for an invitation than to go looking to add more friends....

kalav56 @kalav56 (11464) • India 18 Mar 11

Kimberley Personally, I never take antibiotics for colds. We're getting to a point where antibiotics are losing their effectiveness because of over use. I know some people who, as soon as they start sniffling, run to the doctor for antibiotics. I think that's crazy. We...
