It is Awful Weather here & my Daughter is on a Survival Camp!

jennybianca @jennybianca (12912) • Australia 28 May 07

It is a shocking day. The weather is very stormy, there is very strong wind & a lot of rain. Hail is expected. We have already lost our electricity supply for two hours. Someone's verandah near where I live was blown down. More is...

prestocaro I would be worried, too! But I think, based on what you've posted, your daughter sounds like a very determined girl. I do hope that she will be fine. I bet that if it gets to hairy out there, they'll just bring the kids back early.

I was a Firefighters daughter/ helper!

jennybianca @jennybianca (12912) • Australia 24 May 07

None of you would know that I was brought up in a firefighters family. I think my Father joined the firebrigade not long after I was born. We lived in an industrial city in the north with a population of around 13,000 at the...

prestocaro That sounds fascinating. I had no idea that that is how firemen used to do it! Do you do any radio dispatch work now for emergency services?

Will you bring leftover to home after you have a meal in the restaurant?

youless @youless (112586) • Guangzhou, China 29 May 07

After you have a meal in a restaurant, will you bring the leftover to home and eat it another day? I don't like waste the foods, so I like to bring leftover. In fact I try to order enough foods, as we can't eat too many each time....

prestocaro I read a really great tip the other day about portion control and this sounds like the perfect place to put it out there. Apparently, you should just ask for a to-go box to come out with your meal. When it arrives, box up exactly half of the food. Portions in...

Why do firehouses always have dalmatians?

happyever @happyever (581) • India 29 May 07

Why do firehouses always have dalmatians? Why not some other breed of dog?

firehouses

2 responses

prestocaro I've always heard that they have dalmations because they have a high frequency of deafness. Firemen want a dog that is already deaf because the sirens are so loud it could be very painful to a dog that can hear. But I am no expert. This kind of sounds like an...

How often should I bathe my puppy?

How often should I bathe my puppy? Please let me know

puppy

7 responses

prestocaro bathe your puppy when it gets stinky. Don't bathe every day as this could lead to dry, irritated skin! Always use a shampoo made FOR PUPPIES as they have very delicate, sensitive skin. Remember that you should try to get your puppy used to baths and grooming...

Describe You Favorite Sandwich

Rozie37 @Rozie37 (15499) • Turkmenistan 17 May 07

My favorite sandwich of all time has scambled eggs, a slice of cheese, a slice of fried bologna and mustard on each side of untoasted white bread. My sister was the first one to fix me a sandwich like this, but she preferred ham...

prestocaro I like grilled cheese with jelly. My favorite combo is sharp cheddar and apple butter. Other good ones I have tried are goat cheese and fig jam, as well as swiss and orange marmelade. I know it sounds weird, but it is so good! Just spread the jelly on one side...

Something I find intresting

devilsangel @devilsangel (1817) • United States 17 May 07

The last few days I've been talking to a lot of my friends and family about the double standards of religion. It kind of dawned on me a few moments ago how really screwed up they are. See for me I am what people consider to be...

prestocaro Two words: I agree. I do not lump all people of a certain sect of faith together, and it sounds like you don't either. But many people LOVE to categorize people on the basis of their looks, speech, or faith. What you describe -- especially the handing out...

Food tricks.

Alloy42 @Alloy42 (372) • United States 11 May 07

Until recently my wife didn't know that drinking a glass of milk after eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich was a great way to get the peanut butter stuck inside your mouth to loosen up. I was wondering what other kinds of...

prestocaro Stale cereal? If you nuke it (in a cereal bowl) for a few seconds, stir it up, and then nuke for a few more seconds, it will come back to life! Just let it "set up" for about 30 seconds after you pull it out -- until it's not hot any more -- and it will be...

Beer Bread Recipe

wmdurcan @wmdurcan (103) • United States 11 May 07

Does anyone have a good beer bread recipe? The only time I've made it is when you buy it already made up and you add the beer and pop it in the oven. Does anyone have a recipe that doesn't require you to buy it packaged already?

4 responses

prestocaro I love beer bread! It's great with chili or any tailgate food. Here is an easy, basic recipe: 3 cups self-rising flour (Or you may substitute with 3 cups all purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.) 3 tablespoons granulated...

unsupportive husband...

angelface23 @angelface23 (2494) • United States 11 May 07

So I just made a post about how I want to quit smoking. This post is about how my husband is being very unsupportive about it. I told him that there is a new pill out called Chantix that may help with smoking. I was given Zyban...

prestocaro Your husband sounds like a real delight. You said that the zyban "worked great" so obviously the pills work. Maybe you can refresh his memory about that? Or try another means like the patch or gums? I know that they aren't AS effective as pills, but they can...

The Beyonce Diet

prestocaro I heard about that right when dreamgirls came out. I remember she did a lot of interviews about how hard it was for her to lose that weight. And how glad she was when the film was done shooting, so she could finally eat again. I don't think that sounds like a...

If you're expecting an inheritance and have ever done prison time then you will

sjohnson628 @sjohnson628 (3197) • United States 10 May 07

prestocaro This sounds insane to me! I didn't know they charged you for prison. Something seems really wrong with that. I mean, they can sentence you to pay a fine, or they can send you to jail, but I didn't know they could fine you for going to jail. Your uncle should...

Do You Ever Receive ChaCha Guides As Infoseekers?

coolchic101 @coolchic101 (848) • United States 23 Mar 07

Do you ever get other ChaCha guides as infoseekers? I get them sometimes when they have questions or encounter problesms, which I don't mind. But there was one ChaCha guide infoseeker I received, who was rude and told me to look...

4 responses

prestocaro I've had the opposite. I've done a search with a guide and had extremely rude service. I also had one who just decided to chat with me instead of searching. After a few minutes, I asked "found anything?" and he said "I wasn't looking"! Usually, however, they...

prestocaro I do baked apples more like free-standing apple pie. Mine are surrounded by crust, and for dessert or midday treats. I peel and core the apple, then place atop a circle of dough (usually I just use the refrigerated pre-made kind). Your proportions for...
