Closed containers should be used in place of open ash trays

stary1 @stary1 (6612) • United States 30 Jul 11

Before I quit smoking I started using glass jars with lids and with a little water in them as my ash tray. I had them on my patio (I never smoked inside) and I had a jar in my car. If I needed an emergency ash tray, I'd use...

vegegirl Good idea. When I used to smoke I had to constantly go around and empty ash trays as I am allergic to dust. I have read a tip to help you when give up smoking - to keep butts and ash in a jar with a lid, and whenever you feel like a smoke, just open the lid...

My eldest daughter got her guitar...

r3jcorp @r3jcorp (1382) • Philippines 14 Aug 11

My eldest daughter wanted a guitar for a very long time but I have no extra money to buy it. Luckily her auntie gave her money which could be a good start to have the guitar. We canvassed for the guitar and found out that she...

vegegirl That sounds like a very nice guitar. I think it is great she is going to learn the guitar, why force her to learn the piano when she really wants to learn the guitar. If she really wants it she will probably spend more time learning and practicing. My...

Why are there so many seeds in each seed packet? Does anyone know?

veganbliss @veganbliss (3895) • Adelaide, Australia 14 Aug 11

I checked the expiry date on a packet of basil seeds I found & it said I need to plant them by the end of this month! The problem was, it was a full packet & the seeds needed a whole 20cm plant & row spacing. They...

vegegirl I don't know how many are in the packet but I am sure you could put a few extra in each pot as some of them may not grow properly or be a little bad. And the more basil you have the more often you can have vegan pesto! You could also plant a whole lot of...

stary1 @stary1 (6612) • United States 13 Aug 11

The other day I saw someone in the pool with ‘little booties’. I have never noticed or really thought of wearing shoes in water. I did a little research and was surprised to see water shoes sold with all the swim equipment. I...

How do you move forward when bad things are happening?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 13 Aug 11

I think it is very difficult to see through the hard times when there are so many. Hardships can cloud our judgements, cause us to make or do unwise things. How do you react when you are faced with bad things? Are you more likely...

vegegirl I have heard that rice is not low g.i. - which means it doesn't satisfy your hunger for very long. I do know at least one Chinese person who eats lots of rice and has to eat by certain times and I wonder if this is because of the g.i. Low g.i. foods are...

vegegirl Also look up Shazzie - the raw food lady in the UK. I know she sells Doctor Martin's coconut juice and she will probably have coconuts if she can get them. Or there may be links on her pages to other places that will have them.

vegegirl If she has expressed no interest in you, don't force yourself on her as that will only make her uncomfortable and possibly turn her off completely - you don't want this type of feeling with someone you work with. Just be friendly towards her and get to know...
