Are you a reader? Do you have a favorite place to read? I love to snuggle up in bed and settle into my book. Where's your favorite reading place?

Craving for peanuts!

kalyani1234 @kalyani1234 (637) • India 20 Feb 11

Have any one of you ever had such cravings? For the past week or so, I have suddenly developed a craving for roasted peanuts! I bought a kilo of them and roasted them all, and I just cannot stop gorging on them when I have an urge...

JayJay45 Hi! Generally when your body is craving something that you don't normally eat it's telling you that it is lacking in something. In your case, because you are craving peanuts, which are high in the B vitamins, it could mean that you are deficient in some of...

JayJay45 WOW! That's fantastic! Keep up the good work. I'd love to be on a program like that but I just don't have the money. I can barely afford to feed myself! But I wish you lots of luck on your journey!

Do you hate it when people just turn up without saying they are popping round

joystick @joystick (1675) 3 Feb 11

JayJay45 HI! Seems to me you have three solutions to your problem... 1. Don't answer the door. 2. Inform your friends and neighbors that you will only receive them at certain times of the day. 3. Let every one know that you will not invite them into your home unless...

marguicha @marguicha (223050) • Chile 1 Mar 11

I remember when I read Da Vinci´s code on vacation. I also liked those Grisham novel, such as The client or Pelican´s brief. Do you have a new title to take to my vacations? I haven´t read much this year so your ideas will surely...

JayJay45 Hi! "If you liked the DaVinci Code" -- then read "Angels and Demons" also by Dan Brown. It's better! Also anything by James Patterson or Nelson Demille will keep you turning the pages! Have a nice vacation..........

Lactose intolerant?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 14 Jan 11

I'm curious to know if any of you suffer from this. I swear I'm not a hypochondriac, but the past few weeks, any kind of milk has been given me bloating, severe abdominal cramps and other lovely side effects... And I'm wondering...

JayJay45 Yes, this definately sounds like lactose intolerance. I have the same problem. Try going for a week to 10 days without drinking any milk or eating any dairy products and see if that clears up your problem. If it does, than you are probably lactose intolerant....

JayJay45 What I love about the south are the friendly, hospitable, and always helpful people. I also love the laid back life style. But the humidity is almost too much to bear in the summer months, as are the insects. But the worst thing about living in the south are...

JayJay45 Big NFL fan here. NO, I don't believe Brett Favre is retiring. I don't think he can live without football. He will hang on until an injury puts him away for good. Go Steelers!

JayJay45 First of all its spelled vegan not vegon. Secondly there is more to being vegan than not drinking milk. And I have never heard the idea that vegans don't drink milk because they think it's another form of blood. That is absurd. A vegan is simply a stricter...

Do you enjoy thrillers?

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 30 Nov 10

JayJay45 I love thrillers! Robert Ludlum (the Bourne books) is my absolute favorite thriller writer. He's gone now, but I still haven't read all his books. I also like Mary Higgins Clark, who combines the thriller with romance, and Dan Brown.
