Is it too old?

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85288) • Valdosta, Georgia 19 Jan 12

I was reading an article about a 51 year old woman who just started doing ballet. She was doing it to lose weight and get fit. Another woman told her she is too old to be pretending to be young and dancing. I thought it was great...

gantwick I don't believe there is an age limit for learning or doing new things. My great-grandmother rode the bus everywhere when she was "old." When she was about 80, someone talked her into flying to Las Vegas instead of taking the Greyhound bus. She was...

abhijitkd @abhijitkd (92) • India 3 Jun 11

Dear friends, i have lost all my saved passwords from firefox. is there any tool or trick to recover the same?

gantwick Try clicking on Tools Options Security and looking in the "show passwords" area. If that doesn't work, most sites have a "Lost password" option. It's a hassle, I know, but it's usually a pretty safe way to recover or change your lost password.

How easy can you fall asleep in public places?

polachicago @polachicago (18716) • United States 5 May 07

I have to say that it is so hard for me to fall asleep in other place than my bed. When traveling I can sleep only if I can have at least comfortable place. During my last flight to Europe I was able to sleep because airplane...

gantwick I am one of those fortunate people who can fall asleep easily. If, for example, I am on a bus, I reach a point where I accept that the driver is competent and safe, and *POW* I fall asleep. It annoyed the heck out of my fellow travelers once when we took a bus...

gantwick The guy who claimed the Rapture would be on May 21, 2011 had made a similar claim about a date in 1994. He seems to be one of those people who read only parts of the Bible to make claims that support his current mindset. He seems to have forgotten that Jesus...

Search for new coffee taste. I want to spice my coffee. What can I add to it?

polachicago @polachicago (18716) • United States 22 Feb 07

I drink 2-3 cups of coffee every morning. Sometimes I add ice cream to my coffee, spices and cream. I am running out of new ideas for my morning treat. If you can make special coffee for me, how would you serve it?

Are you afraid to fly

firecracker @sacmom (14192) • United States 23 Nov 10

at night? My husband, who had been out of town for the weekend, had a return flight home at night. We had actually planned it out as it was cheaper this way. Anyway, although he has flown before, he has never flown at night....

How would you define a "frenemy", do you have one?

sharay @sharay (2769) • India 27 Sep 08

gantwick I don't like the word "frenemy." I prefer to say "palhole." I think your definition of neither completely enemies nor very good friends is a good definition. I usually don't hang out around people like that, but some just can't be avoided (like at work, for...

gantwick Depending on road conditions, the highway patrol usually gives drivers a bit of leeway on driving speed. One officer I know said that his rule of thumb is, "Eight you're great, nine your mine," referring to the MPH over the limit a driver is going. Car...

gantwick If I need changes, I do it through exercise and changes in my eating habits. I don't think going under the knife is a good way to change a person's appearance unless there is some medical reason.

How to care for frogs!!??

lumenmom @lumenmom (1986) • United States 29 Sep 10

We have acquired 2 frogs unexpectedly and I have no idea how to care for them. What do they eat? What do they need in their aquarium? Would it be more humane to let them go into to the woods?

gantwick Frogs prefer live insects. If they are native to your area, it should be safe to let them go, preferably near a body of water. Toads also nead to be near water, but will do quite well in a garden, and act as natural bug exterminators. If you do keep your...
