Getting your food locally grown only works in certain conditions

suspenseful @suspenseful (40192) • Canada 19 Feb 11

I got this book that is telling me how to not get diabetes or if one has it or is on the way to get it, how to reverse it. Now so far, it has worked perfectly. I lost more weight and have more energy, but there is one thing that...

LilPixelle There are foods such as kale that have longer growing seasons... and if you keep your home a consistent temperature, you could most likely grow some foods to at the very least supplement yourself through the winter. Hydroponics would help for that :3 (bare in...

Will you wear the pajamas to go out?

youless @youless (112562) • Guangzhou, China 25 Dec 10

I will never wear the pajamas to go out. As to me, I should wear it at home only. But sometimes I can see some people will wear it to the market. Although it's just pajamas and it's not sexy at all. But I think why not change...

LilPixelle I remember a friend of mine ended up hand-me-down-ing some clothes to me when I was little (I think I was somewhere around 9 or ten) I put on a pair of the pants she gave me and went outside to play. She told me they were actually pajama bottoms! I didn't know...

Ron Paul for 2012 GOP?

dark_joev @dark_joev (3034) • United States 20 Dec 10

Well I know I am a hopeful but you think after some of the polls that have come out with Ron Paul having a lead on people like Sarah Palin. You would think the GOP would look at that with a smile as one poll I saw said Obama had...

LilPixelle This will be my first presidential election (2012) And I would by far rather vote Ron Paul than Sarah Palin. I think it will be interesting to see who ends up running (on both sides) this year.

A simple question for people who support lifting DADT

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 18 Dec 10

It's a simple question. One that NCOs and Officers in the US Military will face on a regular basis now that gay people will be serving openly in the US military. So, since many of you are all for this ban, I'm sure you have no...

Sexist discrimination and Sports.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 19 Dec 10

Nowhere is the hypocrisy of our "anti discrimination" policies more on display than in sports. In the name of "fairness" and "equality" we have admitted women into physically demanding jobs by lowering the standards to...

LilPixelle I do believe a woman should have the chance and not be discriminated against simply because she is a female. But I don't believe the bar should be lowered for her. :)

Gummy bears and worms

Hoshi_Reed @Hoshi_Reed (257) • Brazil 28 Jul 10

It has been 6 years since I had gummy worms or gummy bears and I was wondering if anyone had a tested recipe to make them.

2 responses

LilPixelle http://www.instructables.com/tag/?q=gummy&sort=none You should be able to find several recipes there :) I believe the gummy brick one tells you how to make sour ones too if I remember right. (It involves vitamin C I think?) anyway, good luck :)

LilPixelle ...I think this is related to the whole Rand Paul fiasco too. It's not discrimination, just a practice of free business, or in this case freedom to choose who is best qualified.

Should Women Have Equal Rights?

Right to bear arms.

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 13 Apr 10
