I heard people don't add salt to the wather when they cook spaghetti?

lorelai @lorelai (1558) • Italy 1 Dec 07

Can it be possible? I live in Italy and I know that you have to add salt when you cook spaghetti because they taste much better. I know that salt is not very healthy but you trow away the water anyway. This summer I have been...

katykat I suppose it's a personal preference, and ALL of us are different, so if you like the salt go for it. Personally though, I go without the salt, although midway through cooking add either olive oil or vegetable oil to prevent over boiling and to give the pasta...

What is the best way to treat a sunburn?

While I was in North Carolina, it was very hot and humid. Even though I used a 50 strength sunscreen lotion I still got burned pretty good around my neck, face, ears and ankles. It is definitely not a good feeling. What is the...

People Over 35 Should be Dead

indywahm @indywahm (808) • United States 14 Jun 07

People over 35 should be dead. Here's why. According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived. Our baby cribs were...

katykat I think that this will probably be a good move for Jr. As stated by the media, he is 32 y/o now, same age as when his Dad went to RCR. Maybe this is a good time for the young Earnhardt to truly test his driving skills and find a more suitable team with a Crew...
