Someone at work the other day made a comment to me about nutrition and said that he had gone to see one just the week before to get a diet and health plan sorted out. Well his doctor told him that if he ate a tomato (regular size...

thyst07 Tomatoes are really healthy and I don't think that eating one daily would be harmful (unless your stomach is really acid-sensitive). On the other hand, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Eating a tomato daily would certainly have some benefits but there...

Recently I am engaging in a quarrel with my mother and we still have not reconcile. Now I have to prepare meals for myself everyday and I start to running out of ideas. I am curious that what ingredients do you usually use to cook...

thyst07 I like a number of vegetables and meats with spaghetti. Zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, spinach, or cherry tomatoes are all good tossed with spaghetti, and ground beef or sausage are good meat additions. Or with a cream sauce you could add chicken. Another...

Growing up, I've always donate my unwanted clothes to Goodwill, Savers, Salvation Army, etc. Now that I'm grown up, I'm having a hard time to even throw away my clothes. It's like I want to hold onto every single piece in my...

thyst07 I have a tendency to not get rid of my clothing for long stretches of time, and then suddenly one day I'll get fed up with my closet and just start tossing things into a bag to take to the local thrift store. But still, I wear most of my clothes out before I'm...

thyst07 I did try searching for "sell books" and came up with a ton of websites, but I was hoping to get suggestions from people who know that the site they use works and is reputable.

thyst07 I know what you mean! The collection just keeps growing and growing. Unfortunately, my local library system is really short on the kind of books I actually like to read, so they're not much help. So when I buy books, I get them secondhand to lower the...

thyst07 Ebay has the same problem as half.com, because it's the same company. They don't protect sellers. I've never heard of iOffer before, so perhaps I'll check it out.

I love my mother first of all but sometimes it gets really annoying. I find it hard to bring her to parties because of what she does. She does not act like a lady. She does not cross her legs or at least close them when she is...

thyst07 I suppose it depends on the circumstances to a degree. If the parties are just casual social gatherings, I don't think it's a huge problem. Sure, it's irritating and not very classy for your mother to behave that way, but if that's who she is then there...

If you have ever busked? Is Busking really worth it in the end? What if I am traveling, Canada? I am starting to learn how to play an acoustic flamenco guitar and live in British Columbia. I am contemplating buying a busking...

thyst07 Whether or not busking is worth it depends on where you go, what kinds of performance you do, and what kinds of audiences you play to. In some places, busking is outright illegal. In other places, you have to have a license or permit, and sometimes the cost...

Imagine you are moving to a different country for a year. You can take two suitcases and one small carry-on bag. What would you take with you, and what would you leave behind? In the fall I am moving to South Korea for a year,...

thyst07 I will probably need to take a slightly wider variety of clothes, because I'll need them for both my job and for sightseeing- but then, I don't have a child to pack for, so I probably have more space for my own stuff than you do. I had planned to leave my sun...

thyst07 I couldn't bring a lot of money even if I wanted to! I'll probably have enough for a month's worth of necessities, but aside from that I'll be completely broke when I arrive. Fortunately, I'm moving there for a job.

thyst07 I have moved a lot of times, so I definitely understand how stressful moving can be. The packing part is so hard, because it usually involves sorting through tons of stuff that hasn't been organized in a long time. Here are some things I've learned: 1. Start...

thyst07 They achieve the low price by using poor-quality materials. The wood is usually imported from places that use clear-cutting and other unsound forestry practices, and the quality of the wood is substandard. The parts and fittings on the instrument are often...

The majority of people in the world don't go to college. They find other jobs and just work there. I think college is a great life experience and also to extend your knowledge. But college doesn't help you get a better job. Its...

thyst07 It depends on the situation. If I'm at the home of a close friend or family member, I might be more comfortable with being completely honest- especially if they've asked me for feedback. I probably wouldn't just say "this is terrible." Instead, I might say...

thyst07 I cooked a turkey the other day- not for the holiday, but just because I had one in my freezer. Aside from just eating the leftover meat right out of the refrigerator, I've also made turkey salad sandwiches and a turkey pot pie. There's still quite a bit of...
