Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 22 Oct 19

Some who want to avoid carbs, may be surprised of the health benefits of potatoes.. I once had stomach problems and bought fermented potato juice and it was helpful.. Have you found that potatoes are good for you? My favorite...

Orbiter I like the baked potatoes at Wendy's. Baked is much better for you than french fries. Maybe adding butter or sour cream to a baked potato makes it less healthy, but I always do it.

Presidential Inaugurations

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (80736) • Daytona Beach, Florida 22 Oct 19

For a lot of people, it is just as exciting as the election of a new president and that is the Presidential Inauguration. First U.S. President George Washington attended a ball that was held in his honor in 1789. Afterward,...

Orbiter Just one big ball in or near the White House should be enough if being paid by taxpayers. If close friends and family want to give them a party with their own money, that's fine with me.

Should Women Be More Feminine And Men Be More Masculine?

Goddess Vibes @Deegoddess (104) • United States 17 Oct 19

I'd like to hear from men and women on this topic. Do you think that women should be more feminine and not so much masculine in relationships? Do you believe that that's one of the reasons for divorce or breakups? You know, for...

Orbiter Makes total sense to me. If women are unwilling to fulfill that role, perhaps they are meant to be single. Men need to be taken care of and care for their woman, that is how the partnership works. Some people of either sex just can't handle a partnership or...

Orbiter Well thankfully they are still alive, but if it will take so long to reach them all bets are off. If the miners are unable to get enough food and water until then, it will be death by starvation. Mining is a very dangerous job, but in a place with few jobs it...

Orbiter When is old Charlie going to hang it up, we are tired of hearing about all his underhanded misdeeds over the years. Why can't he just bow out gracefully and retire to his villa in the Dominican Republic? He is way past retirement age already. Go away Charlie.

How many hours do you sleep daily?

Orbiter About 7 hours is enough if you sleep well, but many people are unable to get a good sleep every night. Not enough sleep will make you drowsy in the early afternoon, so take a nap then if you can. If you are at work you cannot, so hopefully the next night you...

Orbiter Oatmeal is really good for you, and making it with milk instead of water is even better. Together with a glass of orange juice, plus a banana, makes a healthy breakfast that gives you energy all through the morning.

Orbiter Don't miss Fisherman's Wharf, and keep walking along the shore beyond it until you see the Golden Gate bridge. Take the cable car to the top of the hill for a fantastic view of the Bay.

Orbiter What is the purpose of telling her? Her adopted parents are her REAL parents, since the biological parents could not or would not raise her. She is so lucky she found a family that would love her and give her a good life.
