My friend is having her boyfriend over for dinner tomorrow night (it was their 3 month today) and shes cooking him dinner. She has no idea what to cook though. He likes vegtables (NOT vegan though, still eats meat) and spearmint. I suggested baked vegtables but she dosent like that...Little Miss fussy. Anyway shes freaking out so any help she'll be grateful. If you dont know the recepie just the name of the dih will do. THANKS :)
What to cook for special dinner ?
Chicken Marsala, roasted asparagus, red roasted potatoes
Eggplant Parmesan
Lasagna
Beef Wellington
Salmon Wellington
Shrimp scampi
Gnocci
Baked Stuffed Shells
Manicotti
Lemon/Rosemary roasted chicken, potatoes %26amp; veggies
Reply:She could cook lamb chops dressed with garlic and mint and served with couscous (grains cooked in broth).
Asparagus or broccoli would be good, too.
Reply:Peas with mint, lamb with mint. Any sort of potato dish with chicken or beef. I made Golden Parmesan Potatos the other day that were easy and so good. Mix 1 cup of white flour, 1 cup of parmesan cheese, salt %26amp; peper to taste, some paprika (optional) %26amp; 1 cup of plain bread crumbs. Take 4 baking potatoes and cut into wedges. Heat a stick of butter and pour it into an oven proof baking dish. Moisten the potato wedges with water and dredge the wedges in the parmesan, flour mixture. Place the wedges skin side down in the buttered baking dish. Place in a pre-heated 400 degree oven. After 15 minutes turn the potatoes to one side to brown. After another 15 minutes turn and brown the other side. A great dish to make when you are doing other things in the kitchen so you don't forget to turn them. Green salad or other colorful veggie with a nice dessert to round out the meal.
Reply:For a special romantic dinner it is nice to cook foods that you can feed each other - shrimp cocktail, chocolate fondue, etc. Since he like veggies, I would suggest bagna cauda, hummus and crostini, stuffed mushrooms, and definitley chocolate!
Reply:Try chicken fried steak, with cream gravy, mashed potatoes, and greens...peach dumplings with vanilla ice cream for dessert (oh, and a salad wouldn't hurt things).
Reply:Salmon, risotto and peas
BROILED FILLETS OF SALMON WITH GINGER CREAM
The broiled salmon fillets are served with a creamy and tangy ginger sauce. Salmon steaks can also be used with this recipe.
Serves 2
2 6-ounces salmon fillets, with the skin
1 tsp vegetable oil
to taste, salt, ground black pepper
1 cups fish stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoons shallots, chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 ounce butter
2 tsp fresh ginger, peeled cut into fine strips
2 tsp fresh chives, cut into 1/2-inch sticks
1/2 teaspoon paprika
For the sauce:
In a large saucepan, combine the fish stock, white wine, and shallots. Bring to a boil and reduce the liquid by half. Add the heavy cream and the grated ginger. Bring the liquid back to a boil. Continue to reduce by half or until lightly thickened.
Strain the sauce through a fine strainer. Whisk in the butter, a few bits at the time. Set the sauce aside, and keep in a warm place.
Preheat the broiler. Wash the salmon fillets in cold water. Pat dry. Arrange side by side skin side up in an oiled oven-proof dish. Season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon under the broiler, 4 inches from the source of heat.
Broil for 10 to 12 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is opaque.
Cover the bottom of hot plates with some of the hot ginger sauce. Arrange a piece of salmon in the center of each plate. Sprinkle the salmon with strips of ginger and chives. Pour remaining sauce over the fish. Dust with paprika. Serve hot.

Cons about chewing gum...?
okay, i'll admit, i chew gum a lot but this time i got caught chewing it in Mrs. Belks class, and I wasn't even chewing it! It was at the top of my mouth! She has XRay vision i bet..
anyways. She gave me a theme which is where you have to type half a page on why you will never chew gum again, and this is what i have so far.
Theme--Chewing Gum
There are many pros and cons to chewing gum. Chewing gum stimulates salivation, which helps neutralize the acid produced by bacteria, possibly, it can help mental concentration . Vigorous chewing uses up 11 calories an hour, which may help weight loss, fractionally. It can be a substitute for smoking – especially nicotine-containing gum – and it’s helpful in equalizing air pressure in the middle ear when flying.
Here’s the downside. Too much chewing wears the enamel on the teeth. Spearmint gum can stimulate stomach acid secretion, which may cause individual problems.
I need some more cons...helpp! thanks! ?
Cons about chewing gum...?
Ok here what some of my patients complaints about and these are the ones that used to chew gum alot:
Pain the cheek, this is due to over work the muscles .
Pain on the side of the head , the same above reason.
Headache ..
TMJ problems, this is due to over wrok the condyles in the TMJ which had before a problem which was never felt until The TMJ is over worked for a long time like chewing gum for a long long time.
As for the stomch over secret which can lead to future problems i never heared this yet.
Reply:fyi....chewing doesn't wear the enamel on teeth...
sorry
Reply:In Europe they say people chewing gum look like cows chewing grass, and just as dumb! Chewing may be acceptable to teens, but to adults it looks dumb, and is considered rude and childish.
Apparently Ms Belk has a rule about not chewing in her class. So perhaps as part of this essay you should discuss WHY you felt you could get away with it. It's not as if the flavor was going to last through the entire class period. Which brings me to another downside to gum. Once the flavor's gone, instead of disposing of it properly (you should have kept the wrapper to put the used gum in prior to throwing it away IN THE TRASH) we usually find it dropped on the sidewalk, the parking lot, benches, underside of desks, in fact anyplace the gum chewer happens to be when they take it from their mouths. The discarded gum gets on shoes and is tracked into homes and cars, to be ground into the carpets, thus ruining them. Same with baby stroller wheels. If mama has a toddler she can't take her eyes off them for fear they'll stoop down and pick up the discarded gum......shall I go on?

How would you make a gentlemen club better for both employees and clients?
First I want to say thanks in advanced for opening this posting. Now to the task at hand. I am in the process of wanting to start the best gentlemen club in the Los Angeles county. Now I'm up against big clubs like "The Rouge", "Spearmint Rhino", "Scores", and other small local clubs aswell. I'm wanting true opinions from both dancers and visitors. For example...I hate not hearing a song being played all the way through. You kind of feel cheated huh? If I'm paying for a whole song, I wanna hear it all the way through. Now granted, I can't expect to hear the 30 minute version of Stairway to Heaven for a dance. So tell me what are your likes %26amp; dislikes, what would you like to see more of? Be honest as this is part of my marketing research.
Now for my lovely ladies, how do the club managements or owners treat you? What is the criteria for you being at their club? Payroll? Pay to work? what are the terms and how would you perfered to make your cash? If the ladies are exceptional in their craft, then it will show in the returning clients.
I just want to thank you once again and will make the most use of this information given to me by all of you. I look foward to starting my American Dream, by including my fellow Americans.

As in any 'service' or entertainment business, customer service and attention to detail are paramount.
The more involved the staff is, the more the establishment appears to be genuinely interested in the customer. This is the key to return business.
Good Luck!

I am looking for NON mint and NON cinnamon mouth wash. I loathe those flavors... help!?
Also, I'm not 5 so bubblegum is not gonna fly either. I really hate both of those flavors- so please, no, "this vanilla mint blah, blah blah doesn't taste like mint at all!" Yes, it does.
I'm looking for Anise or Fennel or Rosemary or plum... I don't really care as long as it is truly mint and cinnamon free- also any of the mint offspring- spearmint, winter, fresh- they don't fool me. I really do want alternatives to the mainstream minty crowd. And I know about Tom's of Maine- Lemon Lime- or whatever that is... I'm just looking for more options. Thanks in advance.

50mg/day Zoloft, VERY bad nausea!?
I've recently (2 days ago) been put on Zoloft, 50mg/day, for GAD. I am experiencing a number of symptoms, most of which I know are common for SSRIs.. and I know out of the SSRIs, Zoloft is known for causing the most GI side effects.
But, the nausea is bad. It feels like what women describe morning sickness nausea. It just started today shortly after my dose (which I took without a meal, got delayed going to eat). I expected the nausea from an empty stomach but not for it to last the entire day!
I will be taking Zoloft at night from now on, hopefully the nausea will pass in my sleep, but I am also taking Ambien to sleep, and heard that it reduces the efficiency of Zoloft? Should I no take them near the same time?
Any natural remedies for the nausea? Right now I'm drinking spearmint tea.
50mg/day Zoloft, VERY bad nausea!?
I was on zoloft and I slowly gained twenty plus pounds. I didnt experience any nausea but the weight gain was more than I could handle. I would try the zoloft at night before you went to sleep and see if you can get a good nights sleep without the ambien. If not, try tylenol PM. That should work. If it doesnt, I suppose you can resume the ambien.
Its, more or less, trial and error. You need to get on the right mix of meds for U. Believe me, your body will tell you when your on the right meds. Listen to your body and tell the doctor accordingly. Good luck and good health.
Reply:The logical thing would be to talk to your doctor and see what he/she says.
Reply:Hi... if your doctor knew you were already taking ambien and prescribed it with the zoloft, then apparently he knew what he was doing? You could remind him about it, if you are uncomfortable about it.
Meanwhile, many side effects of anti-depressants do tend to subside after the first couple of weeks.
I'd also recommend talking with the doctor about this, if it's really bad. There is no sense taking a medication which causes you problems or doesn't work well (it's to early to tell, but many people continue taking meds which dont help a bit).
have you tried tums? just a suggestion?

Help! I'm trying to grow plants inside?!?
I live in a dorm room in Michigan, and my room mate (bless her hippy soul) is trying to grow plants (Aloe, fennel, chamomile, spearmint, strawberries, and lilac) inside. She sets them on the window ledge durring the day to get sun, but it's always so cold there that we worry they will freeze! So to try and stop this, we move them away from the window when the sun is down. They are all in one aquarium-like-thing, and we keep the dirt moist all the time (which we aren't sure is good for the aloe?) but never flooded. THey have been planted for about 2-3 weeks, but no signs of sprouting! The aloe was transplanted, and is it still looking perfect, so we don't think we are doing TOO badly, but what will help? Should we buy some sort of special light bulb to put over them because the sun s really poor here? is there a plant food we should use? ANY ideas? She wants them to grow so bad, she dreams about them, lol...
Help! I'm trying to grow plants inside?!?
get some full spectrum flourescents, the more watts the better, but at least 200 watts, as far as watering you only want to get the soil nice and moist then dont water for about 5 days or until it sprouts, then water it only once every other day or even every 3rd day, ive only grown one kind of plant inside hehe, so i dont know if this will work with your plants but i would think itd be the same
Reply:Bottom heat is the answer here. Go out and buy a food warmer plate. Those can be set for about 85+ F and the pots placed onto the warmer plate. I use 95 F as indicated on thermometer placed in germination medium for hundreds of tomato and vegitable plants and flowers.
This is also a wonderful device to germinate planted seeds on. Take and germinate in sterile medium, then immediately after germination place in sterile soil.
You probably are making two mistakes here. One is too cold and drafty near the window, fix that with bottom heat. The second, you arent using sterile soils and germination medium. Make sure even the pots are sterile.
Reply:well, use miracle grow soil, the make stuff for indoor plants. also, use room temp. bottle water, you dont know what is in the water in dorms, lol. i drove across country and my rose bush was 'dormant' in 40-50 degree weather, but once i put it in 68 degrees, and watered it everyday, WOW! it is now 2-3ft tall, with lots of leaves on it! They also make miracle grow formula, the type you mix with water, for plants, the general stuff, works, it doesn't have to be 'plant specific'. i am sure once you warm them up and get good soil for them, they will grow. and i don't think you water aloe that much, just 1-2 times a week.
Reply:To much water for some plants are bad. Even if the soil is just moist. try a bigger container so the roots and spread out. more sun the better. some plants dont like it to how either.
Reply:hahahaha any "old hippy soul" should know the best way to get plants (of any kind hehehehehe) to grow indoors is a sodium or metal halide lamp.....they are expensive, but well worth the cost.....the light is the closest to actual sunlight and will cause the plants to literally explode with growth, as well as keeping the soil warm enough to promote fast growth and flowering. keep the light within 18 inches of the top of the plant and raise as necessary.
Reply:you say tth they r all plnted together? they r all probly compeating for space and trying to get th biggest root system goin, plants tht r perminatky in th same pot will not grow tht big because ther roots will get whats called root bound or they become to many, also they dont grow tht much in winter/autom due to low temps
Reply:You will find plants in doors are not effected by outside temp. Think of light and how it effects you, as in day time, night time. So the plant does get some kind light. You can go to a feed and seed store and find a seed pack that gives you the info on the plant. How much water, temp and ect. Over watering is the number one killer of houes plants. Remember you are watering a plant not a pot when watering. Write me if you want to know some other simple tricks on house plants.
Reply:Make a box they can sit in, take up foil and get
one of those photographer lights, but you are going to put a gro light in it, attach the light to the edge of the box and turn it off when it is warm. Plants can get root rot if they are wet all the time in the house. Change the soil using a clean soil you buy at the nursery. Y0u only need on light, unless you also have a MJ plant.
Put a timer on the light so it isn't always on.
It's probalbly warm when you are in the apartment. Take it from an old hippie, your plants will love you. When you water, let the water settle for a few hours to get rid of the cholorine. Give the roots a chance to get some air Not to much water, let the roots dry out, but not enough that the leaves fall off or shrivle up. I hade a hydrophonics system in Nevada, it is so easy and simple find a book on it, plants love the combination of air, water, heat, and sun. But I grew in a summer clime. I have grown plants in a closet and they got to be over six feet. God luck. (peace) as they used to say. right on bro. heh
Oh yeah, plants like food such as nitrogen. Follow the directions. A little once a month will keep them green and the leaves healthy.

Moths are invading my house!!They've been in our cupboards for years and getting into our oatmeal and stuff
The life cycle of a moth is pretty short. Throw out all the cereal, oatmeal, cornmeal, flour, etc. you have in the house. Go out and buy new and store in plastic snap tight containers.
Once the food and breeding ground is gone, the moths will slowly fade away.
You can call in an exterminator, but they will come right back if you don't change your housekeeping and storage patterns.
Reply:Pantry moths. Really hard to get rid of, some once got into a closed jar of peanuts in my cupboard! Hard to find, but there are pantry moth traps available that lure them into the trap with an attractant (female moth hormone, wonder how they get that!) that work great-- will need to buy several and keep them out until the infestation is gone. The no pest strips also kill them-- big yellow cheesy looking things designed to kill flying insects- but you are not supposed to put those in a living area like a kitchen. but you can in a utility room. First though, toss everything with moths in it, or is open like cereal or crackers-- anything not in a can. They can get into sealed cake mixes, for example. Toss everything, then use a spray insecticide to spray all the cracks and crevices. Then put out the traps. if you can't find the traps locally in hardware or feed stores, then buy them onine.
Reply:Remove everything from the cabinets and shelves.
Buy the tupperware that fits the kind of food you keep.
Throw away all the open food containers and open or closed boxes, especially anything with a short expiration date or past the expiration date.
Buy new food in smaller sizes so it gets used up quickly and store in the sealed tupperware.
Open containers of pet kibble, bird seed, dried flowers, spices are the worst offenders. Are any of these things in the house?
Then follow the cleaning suggestions the previous posters advised. If cost is an issue, it is possible to save some of the food. You can freeze things for a few days and the bugs will be dead but not so tasty!
Reply:They are very hard to get rid of once they have infested your pantry. All of the dry goods (oatmeal, rice, cereal, flour, candy, crackers, baking mixes, cookies, etc) need to be thrown out. take the trash bags that you throw this stuff in outside immediately.
Then, remove everything else from your pantry and wipe each container down with hot bleach water.
If you have shelf paper on your shelves, pull it all up and dispose of it. They could be hatching under the paper.
Vacuum out the inside of your pantry, paying extra attention to the corners and edges of the shelves. Then, use the bleach water to wipe the entire inside of the pantry. Top to bottom, even the undersides of the shelves. Do not slack on this.
Buy some cinnamon sticks, bay leaves or eucalyptus and scatter these inside the pantry. Re-load the sealed items that you removed earlier.
Watch carefully over the next few days, they will probably come back and you will have to repeat the process. This is a battle. They are not easy to get rid of.
If they are all over your entire house, you may be out of luck. An exterminator might be your only answer.
Reply:suggestion fire. its just like a fly trap. preferably lots of candles
Reply:I solved the same problem in my pantry - eventually - In addition to doing most of all the other "Answers" suggestions, I used a sticky tape fly trap, this fly strip caught any critters that managed to hide during the cleaning process. The fly tape was messy to handle, but it really did the job. The fly strip is the old fashion type that you pull out of a round cardboard tube. Good luck !!
Reply:Cloves smell better than moth balls and are a natural deterrent against winged pests. You can also create a water trap by filling a small basin with water and leaving a night light suspended over it. Moths will be attracted to the light and will end up crashing and burning and falling into the water. Add a little dish soap to break the surface tension of the water
Reply:I totally agree with the first guy. We had the same problem. Get rid of all of their food. Take your remaining food and seal it up tight in steel or airtight plastic boxes. It's a pain but it gets rid of them fast.

Why does my tea taste sweet?
I bought some "Bedtime" tea (http://www.yogitea.com/#/ProductInfo/) and I'm curious as to why it tastes so very very sweet when there's no sweetener listed among the ingredients.
I'm talking sweet, people. Sweeeet! Is it possible that one or more of these ingredients is that sweet, or is there some label fudging they were able to do so that they could add a sweetener without listing it?
I've noticed this with other teas as well, none of which had a sweetener listed.
Ingredients of the bedtime tea: licorice root, spearmint leaf, chamomile flower, skullcap leaf, cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, st. john's wort leaf and flower, organic rose hip, natural orange flavor, raspberry leaf, valerian root extract, english lavender flower, stevia leaf, passion flower extract
Why does my tea taste sweet?
Stevia, although herbal, is a natural sweetener often recommended to replace chemical sweeteners such as aspartame,saccharin,etc. You can find it in a health food store, comes in powder and liquid.
Also, some of the ingredients are naturally on the sweet side, such as licorice,cinnamon and I believe, passion flower. Perhaps the combination enhances the sweetness?
Reply:"Cinnamon bark" is a natural sweetener and "Stevia leaf" is a natural sweetener. That'll do it!
You can even grow your own Stevia plant and pluck the leaves off and add to your own tea for natural sweetening.

Is it possible to be allergic to chewing-gum?
On a few separate occasions now I've been hit with an acute stomach-ache, and am trying to figure out why. Don't worry, I don't rely on Internet diagnosis and if it persists I *am* going to see a doctor, but I'm trying to eliminate possibilities first, and odd though it sounds, I'd like to know if anyone's ever heard of being allergic to chewing-gum. (Sugar-free spearmint, if that's relevant.) Wikipedia doesn't seem to mention anything, but I can't think of any other common link between the occasions when this has happened.
Any information would be much appreciated.
Is it possible to be allergic to chewing-gum?
If you know the different chemical reactions taking place simultaneously in your body every day, you will know anything can go wrong at any time with any of the components of the reactions. And the fact that it has not been reported before does not mean it does not happen. I would have suggested that you try the chewing gum again and watch the reactions, but I think it's safer to stay off the gums for now and see if the aches re-occur.
Reply:it is possible to be allergic to anything.
Reply:Yes, one can be allergic to anything you can think exists. I met a young lady who was allergic to tooth paste. She had to clean her mouth and teeth with some kind of liquid.
Reply:Well, it does kind of depend on the kind of gum you are chewing. There might be something in the spearmint gum that you may be allergic to. I would try buying another kind.. and see if it has the same effect on you as the other kind does.
Good luck!
Reply:check the ingredients, see if it contains E951 (aspartame) or E955 (sucralose) then google both of them for more information.

Hope you can help me!?
heres the question..prior to my cats passing he was fine! had a bit of a eye infection ( herpes infection of the eye and conjunctivitis) he was going to get the creme the night of his passing. he only had the eye issue for 2 days. he was eating just fine, jumping up on things,etc. no indication of him being ill . I am with my animals 24/7 so I catch illness at the start! Well the only thing is the night prior to his passing he took a couple licks of the tea i had on the table. it is a sweet dreams herb tea, it contains chamomile,hibiscus,peppermint leaves,rose blossoms,spearmint leaves,spice,and orange blossoms. any of those poison to a cat? during his passing he had a seizure which lasted about 5sec. he was lethargic, he could not walk it was as if he was paralyzed. he would not open his eyes at all (strange seeming I used a bit of that tea to soothe his eyes) there is no poison in my home! I clean with a bit of dawn dish soap and water! please help!!
Hope you can help me!?
Perhaps he had a very bad allergic reaction to one of the ingredeints of the tea. I am very sorry for your loss. Our pets become our children.
Reply:Hibiscus is one of the poisonous plants that they tell us to stay away from. Sorry you lost your cat, but maybe you'll be more careful after this. You can probably go online and find lists of poisonous plants/herbs, etc that are HIGHLY TOXIC to cats (and other animals). Christmas is a really BAD time for people having harmful plants, etc, in their homes. Again, I'm really sorry that you lost your pet.........
Reply:Herbs can be toxic to cats! Cats are very sensitive to herbs%26amp;other posion
Reply:I'm so sorry to see your sad story. You must be so sad! Sometimes cats, like people, just have their bodies give out on them for no apparent reason, like a heart attack or an anurysm (bad spelling, sorry).
I'm sure it wasn't the tea, especially just a couple of licks.
At least you were able to be with him at the end. They don't know what "the end" really means so if you were able to comfort him in his passing, he was at least with the person he loved most.
Reply:I'm so sorry for your loss. I believe your kitty may have suffered a stroke which may have something to do with how he was getting around.
I'm so sorry.
Reply:Sounds like he might have had a stroke. My mom's cat did---fell over, had a seizure and died climbing out of his litter box. He was only 3 years old. I had never heard of a cat having a stroke before but that's what the vet said happened to him.
Reply:I am so sorry! I wish I could give you a hug! I can imagine the confusion, frustration and pain you are feeling. It's not your fault!
None of those herbs are listed as being poisonous to cats.
One scary and sad fact of life is that death is always lurking no matter how on guard we are. My best guess is that your poor baby suffered a stroke. Things like that can just happen out of the blue. It could have been genetic, a birth defect, who knows.
If you wish, your vet can do an autopsy and hopefully give you some better answers.
I can tell from your post that your kitty was well loved during the time he was here. Let that comfort you.
Ah, for the life of a cat in a loving home! Even a brief one.
hayes

Did this herbal tea blend mess with my hormones and PMS?
First, let me say that I am EXTREMELY sensitive to everything I put in my body- any time I take any medicine I experience the side effects (even if I don't read them before hand, its not psychosomatic!!!) I can't handle caffeine because of its effects on me having PMS, and I don't do sugary foods, etc. etc. to prevent it- Anyway, to the point-
Recently I had a really bad cold that turned into sinusitis, in attempt to clear my system of it I drank an herbal tea blend three times a day for a week, and now i am extremely irritable, moody and depressive- I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if this herbal blend could be a contributing factor?
The tea contained:
eucalyptus leaf- 210 mg
Licorice root- 175 mg
Slippery elm bark- 175 mg
wild cherry bark- 175 mg
elecampane rhizome- 140 mg
marshmallow root- 35 mg
Proprietary blend of:
spearmint leaf
west indian lemongrass leaf
lemon peel
stevia leaf
lemon myrtle leaf------ combined 840 mg
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
Did this herbal tea blend mess with my hormones and PMS?
Licorice root and elecampane DO involve hormones. In Fact you will see these ingredients in many women's formulas, so YES if you are really sensitive it could have affected you, despite what the other posters said!
Reply:I don't think it's the tea causing the alteration in mood, especially if you are no longer taking it. Rather I think it is a side effect of the decrease in energy one suffers while recovering from illness.
Take some Echinacea to boost the immune system and a B-12 for the depression - Your system should normalize in a few days.
Reply:none of that should effect hormones/ PMS.
most of those herbals are for the sinus/cough etc that you had. spearmint is good for the tummy. stevia is a sweetener.
if you're not taking the tea anymore it should be out of your system in a day or 2 anyway.

I've heard that herbal tea with mint would help with gas what do you think?
My daughter is 7 weeks old and suffers from bad gas(colic).I've tryed Mylicon,Gripe water,Colic tablets and pumping her legs along with all the other things I could do to ease the pain,like singing,rocking etc.....None of them work when she is really in pain.Though I have heard to try Spearmint or Peppermint tea as long as it's caffeine free.What have you heard if anything about this remedy.Also any advice on relief unmentioned.I did tell the doctor about her gas(colic) and she suggested Mylicon or another form of over the counter remedy.Thank you for your help
~New Mommy in Arizona~
I've heard that herbal tea with mint would help with gas what do you think?
your daughter is too young to drink tea..... your daughter is too young to hold her head up by herself so I suggest laying her on her stomach and gently pat her back.
Green tea with a little piece of ginger does help ease colic. This is what my father usually gave me when I was a little boy. but your daughter is only 7 weeks old... too young.
I'm Chinese by the way...and a father of an 8th year old...
Reply:I agree with the other guy I wouldn't introduce tea right now it is too early and she is too young. Keep using those gas drops they work just keep up with the dosage because I think they allow you to give them a lot.
Reply:NOOOOOOOOOOOO she is to young no way. also I doubt it is colic bc everyone makes you think that and so did i when my son was that age (hes 3 months now). It was his milk he was on enfamil woo bad makes the super gassy. he was always crying and my life was horrid. I swicthed to goodstart and in a week wow life was so good and hes never has gas since nor cried all day.

Honest, open-minded people only please...?
I work as a stripper in Spearmint Rhinos in the UK %26amp; I got annoyed with the manager because he insisted there didn't have to be anyone near the dancers during private dances upstairs - as there were cameras on them (although no one was watching them)...with the old, good manager there always had to be some sort of protection/bouncers upstairs in case the girls got in trouble...am I being stupid for wanting bouncers within calling distance upstairs?
Nothing happened *this* time %26amp; so the manager %26amp; my bf think I am over-reacting, but surely I should be able to feel safe in this sort of environment?
It's meant to be a classy gentlemens club, not some sleazy backdoor whorehouse ffs. Should I just shut up about it?
Honest, open-minded people only please...?
it's complicated enough to work there. i guess you just want some sense of securiity.
Reply:thats preatty deep i think you should worry
Reply:i think u should do a decent job and not one u r not comfortable with. trust me on this....a pure life is better than a stained one....
Reply:You have a right to feel safe and secure. Your request is reasonable and any manager who is concerned about the safety of his employees would have no trouble in providing an environment you feel secure in.
Find another place to work and dump your insensitive boyfriend as well.
Reply:You are correct to want extra protection. Who is the manager to say if in a flash the guy that grabs you doesn't stab you or some other type of violence? You should insist on having a security guard present for ALL private dances.
Reply:If you really want my honest opinion, I think that it is so sad that you have such a job. Why do such a thing? It only pays until they fire you because you are "too old" for their standards. What's going to happen next. Consider getting an education to have a better life in the future. I don't mean to be disrespectful but thats just what I think.
Reply:I can understand your worries, I would request a bouncer be in a door away or something. I mean, the customers might be upset if there is one in the room as it's supposed to be private, but your safety is certainly an issue.
Reply:Management have a duty of care to your health and SAFETY in a work environment (as do you to your own health %26amp; safety) - so a risk assessment of your health and safety MUST address risks identified. The Health %26amp; Safety Executive could advise you further - please don't let this one drop.
Reply:Nope.... stick to your guns.... you have every right to......
your establishment should have plenty of protection in lieu of your profession....it's the least they could do--if not, then they do not have any respect for their female employees. And that, my friend is SEXIST.
Reply:That seems reasonable to me. What matters is how you feel about the situation. If you feel uncomfortable, they should respect your concern. I'm sure you know more about it than anybody else does.
Reply:No you're not over-reacting at all. You have a right to feel safe within your working environment. :-)
Reply:I don't think you're being unreasonable. It's you at risk , not them!
I am surprised your bf lets you do this!!
Reply:not at all.
there should defiantly be some sort of protection.
Reply:I completely agree with your opinion. If I were in your position I would definitely want some sort of protection. You should feel safe and if you don't I would continue to speak up to your manager. AND, I think your boyfriend should want you to feel safe as well!
Reply:you have a right to have security nearby just in case.
ask the other girls how they all feel about it.
if they feel the same way you do..approach the manager %26amp; let him know...you want it the way it used to be originally.
you have every right to have security provided for you...
look at it this way..without the girls..the club wouldn't be making money.
good luck to you.
Reply:Whatever u do, some risks r there. I'm a civil engineer but my life is in all the time in risk as I've to work in close vicinity of fast trains. A small mistake and I'm gone. God saved me 10 times. I go for this risky jcontracts because my profit margin is more than 100%. I'm taking the risk as I want more money. Same is ur problem. U too want easy and fast buck. U have to take certain risks and ur safety is in ur hand. If someone bounces on u, u must know how to protect urself. Self defence is the best defence. U can take lessions in martial art and learn how to defend urself. That will the best course for u. U can kick off strongest man very easily as he won't expect any assault from u. Don't bother about ur physique. The kind of job u r doing, I hope u r in good shape,. Go to gym and tone up ur muscles.
Reply:You are a presious woman. You need all the safety you can get. These men are not nessisarilly GENTLEMEN. Men are really just as sleazy whether they are in a suit or in boxer shorts. I hope you get all the protection you deserve.
Is this the type of work you want or would like to do something else?
blessings and peace to you.
Reply:laws are laws and if you dont like them (they will enforce them to prevent getting shut down,) open up your own underground strip clubs.
Reply:Naw, you should feel safe no matter where you work. In your case I don't think it's unreasonable to at least have one bouncer up there when you're working. I mean drunk men can get out of hand.
Maybe you should go to another place that suits your needs.
Reply:no you shouldn't shut up about it. it's your body, and you deserve protection and the dignity you deserve. Don't give up. It's your right. If your manager wants your employment then he should at least return the favor with a paycheck and some necessary protection.

Reply:I would think having bouncers within ear-shot of your girls would be pretty much standard. I had a friend who once went off on a female stripper and ended up getting arrested (my ex boyfriend). No you are in the right. You need to gather some of the other girls and barge into his office demanding this.
I'm not judging you or trying to tell you how to live your life, however I would personally get into something more lucrative than stripping. Do you really want to spend your whole life pleasing perverts? I would take this as an oppritunity. Quit.
Reply:I would think that they would have someone watching for troublemakers all the time. A camera is not going to able to grab some creep that gets out of hand. No, I don't think you should give up on it. You have a valid argument for wanting to be safe. Good luck with it!
Reply:If I were you I'd descretely mention it to other girls working there (don't mention what the manager said or that you spoke to him about it- just express your worries) and see what their responses are. If the majority of you feel the same then you'll have a united front- you can go and talk to the manager about it again.
I think you're well within your rights to want someone nearby to help. Sometimes things get out of hand. I've only ever had one lapdance in my life, but I have to admit I was sitting there thinking 'do NOT touch - do NOT touch'. I'm no pervert or a groper, and I DIDN'T touch, but the situation of attractive girl dancing naked in close proximity + normal male instincts + social responsibility to behave = very peculiar / difficult situation.
Just be careful not to stir things up or people will think you're out to cause trouble.
Reply:girls are so much more fragile than guys.. i think you should tell them to shove it if they dont have your best intrests at heart.. and ps. if your boyfriend doesnt take your side when it comes to your safety and welfare.. then tell him to shove it too.. good luck hun
Reply:I thought that is what bouncers are hired to do...protect the girls!...you are not over reacting, they are. I shoudn't say this, but its only my personal opinion - do you think they might be 'selling' you out?!!...becareful %26amp; take care...not this time maybe next time, maybe this time they are just 'testing the water'....
Reply:It's important that you feel safe when your working in that kind of environment. if you don't feel comfortable in that kind of setting insist that you have them there or rethink a new job. even though it's prob good money your saftey is much more important and being happy.
Reply:no i would be concerned also...you have no idea what drunk horny guys are capable of doing to you ...expecially if no one is around you...guys are alot bigger and stronger...you dont want to be taken advantage of.
Reply:Nope.....you have every logical reason to have a bouncer within calling distance, if you can't come to a compromise with management on that, you should probably find a different club to work at, there's no telling when a patron may get out of hand, and it could be a serious threat to your well-being if you have no backup.....
Reply:your not over-reacting at all, they are clearly putting you in a vulnerable and possibly dangerous position. You have a right to expect that your safety is protected, why else does the club/manager make money from your work. maybe see if other dancers at the club agree with you, power in numbers and all that. and even if the club is suppose to be classy, that isn't any grantee about the character of the men in there, it shouldn't matter when your safety is concerned.
Reply:No way, if you don't feel safe then you should either keep on at them or just quit. Sure nothing's happened so far but what if it did. If some guy tries to hurt you or worse then its not going to matter how many times it 'didn't happen'.
Camera's are not enough, you should talk to some of the other girls and try to get there support, it would be hard to ignore if you all told the manager you had a problem with it.
Reply:It's difficult to say. Do any of the other girls see this as a problem? If so then get together and put your point across to the manager. If you all threaten to walk unless he changes things then he may see your point of view. I think you are right though - better safe than sorry! Best of luck to you.

Nothing happened *this* time %26amp; so the manager %26amp; my bf think I am over-reacting, but surely I should be able to feel safe in this sort of environment?
It's meant to be a classy gentlemens club, not some sleazy backdoor whorehouse ffs. Should I just shut up about it?
Honest, open-minded people only please...?
it's complicated enough to work there. i guess you just want some sense of securiity.
Reply:thats preatty deep i think you should worry
Reply:i think u should do a decent job and not one u r not comfortable with. trust me on this....a pure life is better than a stained one....
Reply:You have a right to feel safe and secure. Your request is reasonable and any manager who is concerned about the safety of his employees would have no trouble in providing an environment you feel secure in.
Find another place to work and dump your insensitive boyfriend as well.
Reply:You are correct to want extra protection. Who is the manager to say if in a flash the guy that grabs you doesn't stab you or some other type of violence? You should insist on having a security guard present for ALL private dances.
Reply:If you really want my honest opinion, I think that it is so sad that you have such a job. Why do such a thing? It only pays until they fire you because you are "too old" for their standards. What's going to happen next. Consider getting an education to have a better life in the future. I don't mean to be disrespectful but thats just what I think.
Reply:I can understand your worries, I would request a bouncer be in a door away or something. I mean, the customers might be upset if there is one in the room as it's supposed to be private, but your safety is certainly an issue.
Reply:Management have a duty of care to your health and SAFETY in a work environment (as do you to your own health %26amp; safety) - so a risk assessment of your health and safety MUST address risks identified. The Health %26amp; Safety Executive could advise you further - please don't let this one drop.
Reply:Nope.... stick to your guns.... you have every right to......
your establishment should have plenty of protection in lieu of your profession....it's the least they could do--if not, then they do not have any respect for their female employees. And that, my friend is SEXIST.
Reply:That seems reasonable to me. What matters is how you feel about the situation. If you feel uncomfortable, they should respect your concern. I'm sure you know more about it than anybody else does.
Reply:No you're not over-reacting at all. You have a right to feel safe within your working environment. :-)
Reply:I don't think you're being unreasonable. It's you at risk , not them!
I am surprised your bf lets you do this!!
Reply:not at all.
there should defiantly be some sort of protection.
Reply:I completely agree with your opinion. If I were in your position I would definitely want some sort of protection. You should feel safe and if you don't I would continue to speak up to your manager. AND, I think your boyfriend should want you to feel safe as well!
Reply:you have a right to have security nearby just in case.
ask the other girls how they all feel about it.
if they feel the same way you do..approach the manager %26amp; let him know...you want it the way it used to be originally.
you have every right to have security provided for you...
look at it this way..without the girls..the club wouldn't be making money.
good luck to you.
Reply:Whatever u do, some risks r there. I'm a civil engineer but my life is in all the time in risk as I've to work in close vicinity of fast trains. A small mistake and I'm gone. God saved me 10 times. I go for this risky jcontracts because my profit margin is more than 100%. I'm taking the risk as I want more money. Same is ur problem. U too want easy and fast buck. U have to take certain risks and ur safety is in ur hand. If someone bounces on u, u must know how to protect urself. Self defence is the best defence. U can take lessions in martial art and learn how to defend urself. That will the best course for u. U can kick off strongest man very easily as he won't expect any assault from u. Don't bother about ur physique. The kind of job u r doing, I hope u r in good shape,. Go to gym and tone up ur muscles.
Reply:You are a presious woman. You need all the safety you can get. These men are not nessisarilly GENTLEMEN. Men are really just as sleazy whether they are in a suit or in boxer shorts. I hope you get all the protection you deserve.
Is this the type of work you want or would like to do something else?
blessings and peace to you.
Reply:laws are laws and if you dont like them (they will enforce them to prevent getting shut down,) open up your own underground strip clubs.
Reply:Naw, you should feel safe no matter where you work. In your case I don't think it's unreasonable to at least have one bouncer up there when you're working. I mean drunk men can get out of hand.
Maybe you should go to another place that suits your needs.
Reply:no you shouldn't shut up about it. it's your body, and you deserve protection and the dignity you deserve. Don't give up. It's your right. If your manager wants your employment then he should at least return the favor with a paycheck and some necessary protection.

Reply:I would think having bouncers within ear-shot of your girls would be pretty much standard. I had a friend who once went off on a female stripper and ended up getting arrested (my ex boyfriend). No you are in the right. You need to gather some of the other girls and barge into his office demanding this.
I'm not judging you or trying to tell you how to live your life, however I would personally get into something more lucrative than stripping. Do you really want to spend your whole life pleasing perverts? I would take this as an oppritunity. Quit.

10 Orange Mint
10 Spearmint
10 Oregano
10 Rosemary

I'm very new at herb farming and I'm struggleing with the business plan. Please let me know if you can help! Even if you only know a few of these herbs. I only need an average or an estimate... or if you know of a site that might help me out....
I've searched every where online for this information and have found nothing! Thank you soooo much!
Does anybody know???....?
If you are doing this as a business I would stagger your plantings...so if a plant gets old or diseased or well, dies you have a back up. Im sure your mint will produce the most, because it goes nuts! Make sure you contain it or you will be fighting it. Rosemary is a slow grower, Id plant extra of it. Chives gorw very fast and 10 plants will probably produce 3-5 pounds every 2 weeks. Cilantro is alot like parsley you can cut it once a week and it will grow back pretty fast.Id say a safe bet with this list of herbs would be 3-5 pounds of herb every 2-3 weeks for 10 -12 plants of each.

Rosemary would be your next heaviest weight.Herbs grow different in all areas but grow easy most of the time. If your looking to make cash growing herbs you would be better off just selling plants or get one of those seal a meal bag products and sell them at a flea market or to friends but hard to say how many pounds per harvest until you do it once.
Reply:sorry i don't understand your question but i'm familiar with chives, Garlic, peppermint and Oregano
I know chocolate beans, Oranges and mints but not sure if there is such a herb called chocolate mint or orange mint unless it's the combination.

Whitening Toothpaste
I enjoy whitening toothpaste and brushing my teeth, because i enjoy the clean feeling in my mouth. I love whitening toothpaste especially, because white teeth are attractive to me. Toothpastes come in many varieties - Crest, Rembrandt, Oral B, Aquafresh. Some flavors toothpaste comes in are spearmint, mint, vanilla, cinnamon, and bursts of orange. Some children's toothpaste come in more fruity flavors.
I plan on doing my science fair project on "What whitens teeth, and how?" I would enjoy looking up what ingredient is in toothpaste that whitens teeth and how it works. Also, which toothpaste contains the most of this ingredient? Does the flavor of the toothpaste take away from the whitening ingredient doing it's job? Or maybe, it adds to it. These questions have probably already been answered. I believe asking my orthodontist or dentist these questions will further my knowledge on this topic. The Internet may also be of a good assistance. Perhaps the websites of the toothpaste brands will inform me and elaborate more thoroughly on some of these things.
The toothpaste that whitens my teeth the best is Crest. I have braces, so it should be more difficult to whiten and clean my teeth. But, Crest gets the job done well. My Crest toothpaste has "whitening strips" in it that make my breath very mint, and are supposed to whiten teeth.They obviously work for me.
Maybe the type of teeth a person has determines how white they can actually be without scraping the enamel off of their teeth. Possibly, the type of toothbrush determines this. I use a Crest Pulsar and it clean very well in the hard to reach places.So, for me, the best brand of dental whitening is Crest.
Please help me correct and add to this essay. (due tomorrow)?
Ashley, what was the question in mind? Was it "What is your fave toothbrush or toothpaste, or do you like toothpaste and brushing your teeth? To help you better, most people need the topic sentence. Email me at lucasbeck95@yahoo.com PLEASE. I can help you from there.

My dear Pagan folk!?
Planting a garden. I've already got spearmint, which is getting it's own little sectioned off plot to go wild in. Sage is obvious. I'm allergic to lavender, so I try to steer clear of it. I already have roses (red, pink, and white). I'm intending for some daisies as well...
But I want suggestions. I'll only be able to maintain it (at latest) through Samhain. Plants don't survive well in cross-seas ventures with military moving companies. =(
What would you guys plant?
The lay out is four full-sun fertilized plots (one is 15'x5', the others are 8'x8' squares), two 15 gallon pots, two 5 gallon pots, two 4 gallon pots, three 20 gallon pots, several small pint sized pots and a long 'window box' (3'x 6"). There's also one full shade pot that's about 5 gallons.
My dear Pagan folk!?
Pansies, Sunflowers, gourds, Shasta daisies, Morning Glory, mints, Mugwort, wild flowers, Sweet Peas, ivy, Mums, Irises and Hostas (if you have deer, they love this stuff) can be planted and left to pretty much fend for themselves. It is survival of the fittest in my garden. What the dogs don't trample or dig up and my husband does not mow over, may live to return another year.
EDIT: Rosemary is pretty hardy and it is so useful. Clematis does ok under my cruel neglect. I love Basil. but the slugs come from miles around to eat it. I also accidentally grow thistle and garlic. Both volunteered. The thistle is great for attracting finches.
Reply:Give the lavender plenty of sandy soil and do not over water and it should do fine and smell lovely. Report It
Reply:Rosemary is always great to have around, as are strawberries (the fruit is great plus the leaves are very useful for teas)
I'm sorry to hear that you are allergic to lavender, I would go nuts without my lavender!

i only plant things which don't require any care from me, otherwise i'll just kill them :(
and, unlike every other pagan in the world, i don't enjoy reading!!!!!! i love learning, but i learn better by attending seminars or lectures, or watching a program.
just plant whatever calls to you. whatever you like :)
Reply:If feasible, I'd suggest rue and vervain; both tend to thrive on neglect, though I don't know how well they travel.
Reply:I like tyme and basil.. I find them to be a very relaxing addition and they can be used in your cooking so thats always a help.
Reply:I have a black thumb. No I'm not kidding. I swear to Thor I could kill a weed.
So I don't plant anything that can't mostly survive on it's own. So far the holly bushes are still alive and the tree. Other then that.....
Really I am a disgrace to pagans everywhere. I don't believe in reincarnation, I don't practice magic and I can't grow a damn thing.
edit: Pastor tsk tsk. We have sacrifices a human in almost 1000 years. Though if you are volunteering I'm sure we could work something out....
Reply:In your situation, I would add rosemary and thyme, but especially Borage, Comfrey, Solomon's Seal and Yarrow.
Rattlesnake Master if you can find it. Other good ones are Althaea, Angelica, Basil (good eats), Black Cohosh, Thistle, Blue flag iris, Catnip, Fennel, Feverfew, Honeysuckle, Oregano and Peonies.
I would look for inexpensive annuals and some of the perennials that neighbors would share - these have their own power depending on the neighbor and guarantee they grow well in your area. Many of these are good for dining also - oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage, fennel, and basil are all common to use in cooking.
Reply:Rosemary, heather, thyme and basil.
Reply:As our ancestors were rather practical folk, the most common thing one would find in their gardens were plants which would serve a good purpose. Generally, anything which can be used in cooking is a good idea, although given your time constraints with regards what you'd be planting, I'd suggest something that may, by its very nature have a short effective lifespan.
If you're interested in leechcraft, then the book of the same name by Pollington gives some excellent information with regards to what plants were once known as, how they were used, especially for medicinal purposes, as well as general information on practical ideas for magical uses based on techniques which were mentioned in early sources.
Now I'd also be looking at plants which are native to your particular area and which will survive the climatic conditions that you have.
So, there you have it, nothing specific, but some all around general ideas for you. Best of Hamingja with your planting.

Monarda.
But, if you have a wet summer, it will get powdery mildew. (spray with 1:1:10 soap:veg oil:water to kill.)
And pay no attention to the "it will take over" people. It's not a true mint and reproduces by spreading clumps, not suckers.
It smells wonderful and will bring bees to your other plants.
It's also an indigenous North American plant, if that's where you are.
Where I am, in New York, wild monarda is actually considered "Exploitably Vulnerable" because people pick the wild flower (grrrrrrr) and it's a much needed plant for native species (and feral and domestic bees) so by planting commericial varieties, it feeds those species.
Also, you get to see these, which are neater looking in flight than in pictures. They look like faeries:

You have to plant the specific monarda they eat to see them, though.

Really I am a disgrace to pagans everywhere. I don't believe in reincarnation, I don't practice magic and I can't grow a damn thing.

Reply:In your situation, I would add rosemary and thyme, but especially Borage, Comfrey, Solomon's Seal and Yarrow.
Rattlesnake Master if you can find it. Other good ones are Althaea, Angelica, Basil (good eats), Black Cohosh, Thistle, Blue flag iris, Catnip, Fennel, Feverfew, Honeysuckle, Oregano and Peonies.
I would look for inexpensive annuals and some of the perennials that neighbors would share - these have their own power depending on the neighbor and guarantee they grow well in your area. Many of these are good for dining also - oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage, fennel, and basil are all common to use in cooking.
Reply:Rosemary, heather, thyme and basil.
Reply:As our ancestors were rather practical folk, the most common thing one would find in their gardens were plants which would serve a good purpose. Generally, anything which can be used in cooking is a good idea, although given your time constraints with regards what you'd be planting, I'd suggest something that may, by its very nature have a short effective lifespan.
If you're interested in leechcraft, then the book of the same name by Pollington gives some excellent information with regards to what plants were once known as, how they were used, especially for medicinal purposes, as well as general information on practical ideas for magical uses based on techniques which were mentioned in early sources.
Now I'd also be looking at plants which are native to your particular area and which will survive the climatic conditions that you have.
So, there you have it, nothing specific, but some all around general ideas for you. Best of Hamingja with your planting.

Monarda.
But, if you have a wet summer, it will get powdery mildew. (spray with 1:1:10 soap:veg oil:water to kill.)
And pay no attention to the "it will take over" people. It's not a true mint and reproduces by spreading clumps, not suckers.
It smells wonderful and will bring bees to your other plants.
It's also an indigenous North American plant, if that's where you are.
Where I am, in New York, wild monarda is actually considered "Exploitably Vulnerable" because people pick the wild flower (grrrrrrr) and it's a much needed plant for native species (and feral and domestic bees) so by planting commericial varieties, it feeds those species.
Also, you get to see these, which are neater looking in flight than in pictures. They look like faeries:

You have to plant the specific monarda they eat to see them, though.

What is the difference between peppermint and spearmint?
Peppermint is a (usually) sterile hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmintIt is occasionally found wild with its parent species in central and southern Europe, but the first intentional crossbreed of watermint and spearmint was done in England. Being sterile, it spreads by rooting.
Spearmint is a species of mint native to central and southern Europe, where it grows in wet soils.
Water mint is a perennial plant in the mentha genus common throughout Europe, except for the extreme North.
What is the difference between peppermint and spearmint?
i agree
peppermint has a sweeter taste
spearmint kind of bites back. It's okay but I prefer peppermint
Reply:They are different plants, and they have different tastes.
Sorta like the difference between apples and pears.
Reply:They are slightly different plants, but from the same family.
I definitely disagree with two of the previous posters though... spearmint is "sweeter" where peppermint is called peppermint because it has a sharp peppery mint flavor.

Las Vegas bachelor party?
Planning a bachelor party and wanting to go to Vegas. There will be four to six guys. Planning on flying out either friday night or saturday morning and flying back sunday. Want to stay at the Palms. On top of that, I'm looking at this package: VIP host, 8 hr limo(gratuity included), dinner at Gordon Biersch (gratuity included), VIP access to Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club including VIP table with $250 bar credit and two exotic dancers for 1 hour, VIP table service at Pure nightclub (gratuity included) reserved table including 3 bottles of premium liquor + mixers. Price is quoted at $599 per person for six people.
Does this sound like a decent deal? Could I improve on this at all either entertainment wise or price wise? Remember, that does not include the airfare or hotel, of course.
Never been to Vegas so any advice from persons who have been there would be great.
Las Vegas bachelor party?
That sounds pretty good to me. VIP table service at those clubs run $200-$300, so that with the $250 bar credit at the strip club seems like a good deal. You could figure out how much all of this will cost individually and see if it's a better deal. Just make sure you get the top shelf booze and order steaks at dinner!
Make sure you book this night with a reputable company. I'm sure many of these scam artists use this as a way to take your money. Make sure you do some research and find a company with a good reputation, you can also check with the Better Business Bureau

Reply:That's not a bad deal, but figure your airfare and hotel will also run you about that much. AND, sometimes, the hotels in Vegas don't allow Saturday arrivals (depending on what's going on in town) - you need to check before you sign anything. It would suck to lay out $600 a person for the party and then $2000 for the plane ticket and room, and not be able to check in when you want.

What would you do?
You're handcuffed and locked in the trunk of a car. It's an older car so there's no emergency latch to get you out. Here's what you have to work with: 36 cents in change (a quarter, a dime and a nickel), jumper cables, a stick of chewing gum (spearmint), a towel and your house keys.
How would you use these items to get yourself out?
What would you do?
i would cover my face with the towel (for no reason at all)
chew the gum and stick it on the jumper cable (for no reason at all)
then bribe my dad with the house keys and 36 cents to let me out of the trunk of his car.

Is this safe in late pregnancy?
I know some teas and herbs are best avoided during late pregnancy because of the risk of uterine contractions so I was wondering if any of you knew if these herbs were safe. This is a tea that I'd like to try but not sure if it is safe. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and dilated to a 2. (Just for info)
ORGANIC PASSIONFLOWER HERB: 360 mg.
ORGANIC CHAMOMILE FLOWER: 255 mg.
(I READ CHAMOMILE COULD POSSIBLY BRING ON MENSTRUATION..?)
ORGANIC LINDEN FLOWER: 135 mg.
ORGANIC CATNIP HERB: 45 mg.
ORGANIC HOP STROBILE: 30 mg.
ORGANIC SPEARMINT LEAF
ORGANIC LEMON VERBENA LEAF
ORGANIC LEMON PEEL
ORGANIC WEST INDIAN LEMONGRASS LEAF
That is what the tea consists of..do you see any red flags or am I ok to frink this for relaxation? Thank you.
Is this safe in late pregnancy?
Absolutely not!!!! Herbs are drugs just as powerful and dangerous as drugs sold over the counter or by prescription!!! Especially when taken during pregnancy! Please, please ask your doctor about it. And why not just let nature take it's course? You are already 2cm, labour will soon start anyways. Best wishes, and congradulations to you and your family!
Reply:I'd skip all of those and drink red rasbarry leaf tea(for uterus widwife's tell you to drink it near then end of pregnancy) and fenugreek(to help with milk flow).
Reply:as far as i know these are all safe but if in doubt talk to your doctor...

How can I increase my estrogen levels naturally?
i'm a 24 yr old female with pcos (polycystic ovarian disorder). my gyn says that i have slightly elevated testosterone levels and low estrogen levels. im already on spironolactone (anti-androgenic drug) and high dose estrogen birth control.
i also take these natural supplements:
-spearmint tea x 2 cups a day
-soy protein 30 mg daily plus soy milk and tofu
-anise, black cohosh, fennel, raspberry, sage, sarsaparilla, squawvine, unicorn root and wild yam root
-im on a low carb diet with 75% raw foods
is there anything else i should do which will help me conceive?
thanks so much in advance (:
How can I increase my estrogen levels naturally?
Yoga might help to balance your endocrine system - I find that it's really good for that...
And then, did you know that yams/sweet potatoes have estrogen? Scientists think that's why African tribes for whom yams are a staple are incredibly fertile. :)
Reply:Two things come to mind from your list: 1) I'd actually be careful of my soy intake as it's a) cooling and suppressing to the sexual chi in the body, and 2) Look closely at the 75% raw foods diet. Yes, this diet, if done correctly, will make you very clean and very clear, but to make hormones in quantity, the body needs steady strong and reliable sources of protein and zinc. If by 75% raw, you're including oysters, shellfish and fish in that diet (which I highly doubt somehow...), good on ya, and way to go. The primary clues that you need to stop with the raw foods will be a) you'll start to freeze in the winter and quite literally find that no matter what you do, you cannot keep warm, b) you will begin to find yourself becoming cachexic, that is--so thin and in a condition where your body is literally starting to digest itself, that people will start to ask you if you are anorexic. c) You may find yourself having odd dreams of steak and chicken and standard American balanced meals w/ meat, starch (usually mashed potatoes w/ gravy) and 2 or 3 veggies plus bread, butter, milk and dessert. This can take a long time to occur, especially if you were pudgy or round to begin with and had a lot of "excess" to get rid of. I would remind you that anything taken to excess becomes its opposite. This is to say, a diet that started as a health increasing measure can indeed become a source of illness and disease if continued too strictly or too long. No Native American Tribe in North America practiced exclusive raw foods eating. And there's a reason for this: to live and to thrive primarily out of doors in North American, one needs to eat hearty, warming, build up foods, not cold, cooling, breakdown, raw foods. These are wonderful for you in the warm and hot weather, and you'll probably be quite fine for a few years, especially if you are inside during the cold weather. Watch out for year 7 of this or any other highly restrictive diet. Year 7 is when the body's natural stores of Vit B12 run out. Year 7 is when people in the raw foods and macrobiotic communities start to FREEZE in the winter times and literally NOT be able to keep themselves warm. It's when they start craving sweets uncontrollably (a sign of protein deficiency), start experiencing an inability to focus, concentrate and put out sufficiently meaningful work, and when their sexual energy pretty much goes to hell, so don't say I didn't warn ya...And I say these things to you as a woman who lived and worked professionally in the macrobiotic commuity from the age of 17 to about 25, and still to this day eats extremely healthfully. Change is imperative. I'm not saying don't keep up with your raw foods regime. I'm saying know what it will look like in the body when it's time to stop. Do not stay in one place dietarily EVER. I'd also look strongly at adding Vitex agnus castus to my list of herbs, as well as kelp and other seaweeds such as wakame, arame, hijiki, alaria, sea palm, dulse, agar agar, carrageenan, etc., etc. If you're needing to rebalance your hormones and are too high in androsteroids, look strongly at eating shiitake and maitake mushrooms, and fungi in general. These will help to break down old meat fats and energies in the body b/c of their extremely strong and medicinal yin qualities. I have some SERIOUS questions about using synthetic drugs and more especially synthetic estrogens in the body to try to create balance. I don't quite want to say, "It won't happen, you'll just pendulum swing the other way...but I'm very close to saying just exactly that to you." Sorry, no confidence vote w/ the high dose estrogens or the spironolactone...Big red flags and big yellow caution lights going off for me...Whatever you do, avoid milk, eggs all dairy and non-organic meats and chickens like the plague...Sounds like you're already well on your way there. There have been MANY reports of women wearing strings of myrrh beads finally having luck conceiving. I would also strongly recommend the services of a good acupuncturist/Chinese herbalist.
Reply:Flax has long been used as a natural estrogen replacement for women who need more estrogen. It is best to get whole seeds and grind up a tablespoon at a time so it is freshest. You can put it in water and drink it, or add it to a smoothy or protein shake. We even put it in our muffins here. Flax's natural estrogens are very good, plus Flax also is a great source for natural omega's .
EDIT: Forgot to say that a cheap coffee grinder is great for this. That is what I use, and it makes it really easy.

Aaargh I used a face mask and it made my face go red, what should I do?
It was one of those fabric ones with spearmint and tea tree, I'm not normally allergic but after a few mins it stung, so I took it off and washed my face and now I'm red as a tomato! I've gotta go to a relatives 2moro to exchange Xmas presents so any tips? I'm putting ice on it to relieve the stinging and put some aloe vera lotion (which is good for sunburn) on it but it made it sting more so I wiped it off, help me please!!!
Aaargh I used a face mask and it made my face go red, what should I do?
take some ibuprofen (or other anti-infammotory) put nothing on your face except cool unscented cream .. go to bed, good nights rest.... go to bed... n hope for the best ! ! ! good luck. reckon you'll be fine in the morning......
Reply:You are probably allergic to some of the huge number of additives they pour into these products. I don't know why pharmaceutical companies think the clean natural smell of Tea Tree needs 'improving' with mint. Tea Tree itself has great healing properties, but I expect the spearmint was a concoction made from chemicals.

Cooked or uncooked Buttercream icing....?
So I'm wanting to make gourmet type cupcakes but I'm very new to the baking and making of the ingredients part of it all. I was being trained at a very high end Bakery to be a cake decorator so I can handle that part of it but the only icings I actually have made are chocolate ganache and whipped cream icings. I'm trying to come up with a good buttercream recipe but I'm noticing that there are 2 different types of butter cream recipes out there. Cooked and uncooked. I made an uncooked buttercream but it was so sweet it ended up tasting like a store bought buttercream icing. Just kind of gross. So the question is which recipe would head me in the right direction?
Also I used the McCormick mint extract when trying to make some mint buttercream and it gave the flavor of spearmint gum rather then yummy mint flavored butterceam. Any recommendations?
Cooked or uncooked Buttercream icing....?
1:2:2 recipe. 1 lb egg whites, 2 lbs sugar, 2 lbs butter. Mix the sugar and whites, place over a pot of hot water on the stove. Stir every once and a while, you are cooking the mixture, when the sugar has melted and the liquid is clear and smooth, pour it into a mixing bowl. Whisk until cool. Cut the butter in to small pieces and slowly add to the meringue mixture. ( the mix will look like it is going to crack - split - but it is ok keep mixing it and you will get a nice white butter cream.
Flavour wise just add a drop or two of pepermint flavour (if that is what you want.) If need be add another drop but it is easier to add some more that to try and take some out. Good Luck

Reply:Here is a recipe for the cooked Buttercream frosting. In my younger days I used it to make a Bassinet cake for a baby shower that served 48 people. The cake turned out perfect and the frosting tasted like custard - not sweet at all. In fact, it was so good, a woman at the shower was eating the frosting off the styrofoam bassinet hood with a spoon!! To decorate with it, be sure to put the cooked portion through a sieve to remove any lumps. This is from my cookbook called "Decorating Cakes and Party Foods Baking Too! by Louise Spencer:
BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
1 c milk
1/4 c unsifted, all-purpose flour
1 c butter at room temperature
1 c granulated sugar (yes granulated)
2 tsp vanilla
Combine milk and flour in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Cream butter and sugar until very fluffy. Add vanilla and cooled flour mixture. Continue to beat at medium speed until frosting is very fluffy and sugar is completely dissolved.
CAUTION: IF buttercream is to be used for tube work, (borders, etc.), flour and milk mixture should be rubbed through a wire strainer before it is added to creamed butter and sugar. Yield: 3 cups; enough to frost, fill and border a 9" cake.
NOTE: This is the best tasting buttercream I have every used, a favorie of my family and students alike. I hope you will try it.
Reply:Butter Cream Frosting
2 sticks of butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons milk
With an electric mixed whip butter until creamy; add powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Combine until well mixed. Add milk by the tablespoonful until desired constancy is reached.
For chocolate:
Melt 2 squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate and add to the sugar butter mixture before adding milk. Then add milk by the tablespoonful until desired constancy is reached.
By using lemon juice you eliminate the need for salt and it also cuts down on the sweetness of the frosting - I have been doing it this way for years and everybody loves my frosting.

Reply:Buttercream Icing
2 cups butter or margarine
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup sifted confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Place butter in mixing bowl, add 2 cups confectioners sugar, mix at low speed to obtain smooth paste. Whip at medium speed, adding the sweetened condensed milk slowly and gradually until light and fluffy.
Using a very clean bowl and beater, whip the egg whites until stiff while adding the 1/2 cup confectioners sugar slowly. Mix this meringue slowly into the above butter mixture. Add vanilla extract and remaining 1/2 cup confectioners sugar. This last amount of sugar can be doubled if stiffer icing is desired.
NOTE: Best results are obtained when butter and sugar are at room temperature and egg whites and milk are cold out of the refrigerator.
Reply:Go to the wilton web site. It is an uncooked buttercream and I enjoy the taste of it.ps lucky you I wish I knew how to decorate a cake the way the pros do.You probably should have used the peppermint extract instead of the mint.

Also I used the McCormick mint extract when trying to make some mint buttercream and it gave the flavor of spearmint gum rather then yummy mint flavored butterceam. Any recommendations?
Cooked or uncooked Buttercream icing....?
1:2:2 recipe. 1 lb egg whites, 2 lbs sugar, 2 lbs butter. Mix the sugar and whites, place over a pot of hot water on the stove. Stir every once and a while, you are cooking the mixture, when the sugar has melted and the liquid is clear and smooth, pour it into a mixing bowl. Whisk until cool. Cut the butter in to small pieces and slowly add to the meringue mixture. ( the mix will look like it is going to crack - split - but it is ok keep mixing it and you will get a nice white butter cream.
Flavour wise just add a drop or two of pepermint flavour (if that is what you want.) If need be add another drop but it is easier to add some more that to try and take some out. Good Luck

Reply:Here is a recipe for the cooked Buttercream frosting. In my younger days I used it to make a Bassinet cake for a baby shower that served 48 people. The cake turned out perfect and the frosting tasted like custard - not sweet at all. In fact, it was so good, a woman at the shower was eating the frosting off the styrofoam bassinet hood with a spoon!! To decorate with it, be sure to put the cooked portion through a sieve to remove any lumps. This is from my cookbook called "Decorating Cakes and Party Foods Baking Too! by Louise Spencer:
BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
1 c milk
1/4 c unsifted, all-purpose flour
1 c butter at room temperature
1 c granulated sugar (yes granulated)
2 tsp vanilla
Combine milk and flour in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Cream butter and sugar until very fluffy. Add vanilla and cooled flour mixture. Continue to beat at medium speed until frosting is very fluffy and sugar is completely dissolved.
CAUTION: IF buttercream is to be used for tube work, (borders, etc.), flour and milk mixture should be rubbed through a wire strainer before it is added to creamed butter and sugar. Yield: 3 cups; enough to frost, fill and border a 9" cake.
NOTE: This is the best tasting buttercream I have every used, a favorie of my family and students alike. I hope you will try it.
Reply:Butter Cream Frosting
2 sticks of butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons milk
With an electric mixed whip butter until creamy; add powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Combine until well mixed. Add milk by the tablespoonful until desired constancy is reached.
For chocolate:
Melt 2 squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate and add to the sugar butter mixture before adding milk. Then add milk by the tablespoonful until desired constancy is reached.

Las Vegas Prostitutes?
Im 22 and just got back from Las Vegas. I stayed at the Rio 2 nights...and the Luxor 2 nights. I am from Pittsburgh and was amazed at the amount of beautiful women everywhere I looked. It was a real culture shock to me. I went to the Spearmint Rhino which was a very nice club where I got a dance with a very beautiful and very cool girl who came to Vegas from Mexico City. The thing that amazed me was every night around nine o clock you could see the beautiful prostitutes everywhere. They came straight up to me from every direction asking me if I wanted to have fun. I did give in one night and after some negotiating had fun with a very exotic looking Columbian girl for 500 dollars. you can say im sick, hypocrite, immmoral, or watever but what I'm thinking about now is why do you think its just so tolerated there? or is it such a big problem noone can stop it?
Las Vegas Prostitutes?
I guess because Vegas is such a party town, everyone is there to have fun and maybe people turn a blind eye to it. If a woman is turning to prostitution maybe she can't do anything else or the money is too good to resist. I think that as long as you and her are using protection and not doing anything indecent in front of people its all good.

Reply:Prostitution is not tolerated here in Las Vegas at all. The problem is, there are so many girls who know that tourists will pay! Hundreds of prostitutes are booked every night at the Clark County Detention Center. But you can't catch them all. I can promise you though - prostitution is ILLEGAL in the city of Las Vegas.
Reply:Because there are people like you who will pay $500 to toss and turn.

Does anyone have a remedy for night time dry cough, and dry throat ?
I usually just pop a spearmint in my mouth, but am on a low carb diet, and don't really want to eat candy, or anything with sugar in it. I've tried water, the humidifier, syrups, and nothing seems to help !
Does anyone have a remedy for night time dry cough, and dry throat ?
I have the same problem, due to my medications. I keep water by the bed. Also, sugar-free throat lozenges--you can find them in any large store--and ask your dentist for a tube of mouth moisturizer. He can tell you how to get more if you try it and like it. And the humidifier is a good idea, also. One must attack this problem from several directions! Good luck.
Reply:Yea try the lemon and honey or you can also drink some hot tea
Reply:mix equal parts of honey and ginger juice and take about half a teaspoon twice a day. should help.
Reply:Limejuice should be diluted in a glass of warm water, and a teaspoonful of honey should be added to it. It forms an ideal remedy for a cold and dry cough.
Ginger is also an excellent food remedy for colds and coughs. Ginger should be cut into small pieces and boiled in a cup of water; it should then be strained and half a teaspoon of sugar added to it. It should be drunk while it is still hot, in case of colds.
Hope this helps, Good Luck.
Reply:For dry cough and dry throat, I have found very comfortable relief with a glass of hot water. Heat it to a temperature like a hot tea of coffee, sip it like coffee or tea slowly. I have suggested to a couple of friends and they found it useful.

Reply:Make yourself some cough syrup. The only problem is that you may be over this one before it's ready but you'll have it for next time. Go buy some Old Crow Whiskey, Lots of Peppermint, and Honey. Drink or poor out 1/4 of the bottle. Then crush up the Peppermints until it rises the Whiskey back to the top of the bottle. Next put about a teaspoon maybe a tablespoon of Honey in it. Finally you close it up and set it up until all the Peppermint is melted away. Every time you walk by it shake it up a little, meaning tip it upside down and by up straight a few times. Then just set it back down. In a few weeks or maybe a little longer it'll be ready. When all the Peppermint is melted away that means it's ready. When done you just take a few swigs from it.

Reply:Pork/swine has always been forbidden in God’s Law. Jews follow it too. Man usually doesn’t consider carnivorous animals suitable to eat. Pig’s case, however, is ambiguous. It is omnivorous. That’s why it was explicitly forbidden. The dietary law of Islam regarding meat forbids the following:
1) Flesh of a dead animal (which otherwise is generally used as edible);
2) Flowing blood;
3) Flesh of a swine; and
4) Anything that is slaughtered in the name of something other than God or is slaughtered without taking God's name on it.

Strippers???
I was at spearmint rhino in rialto, california on friday night and I was just wondering how much money do they make a night? I saw one girl give like atleast 6 dances and I heard her say she only does fantasy dances and those are $60 so that would be $360 that she made right there and plus the tip money from dancing on stage.
Strippers???
yeah strippers make good money lol.
use to babysit for one, was always loaded. id say she made like 500 a night.

Do you prefer spearmint or peppermint?
What do you like them to tell you after?
Lip Gloss or No lip Gloss?
CAN YOU KISS WITH BRACES?? If so, how?

PS. I'm really inexperianced.... if I kiss a guy that is?? and he doesn't like it, will he understand or make fun of me behind my back?

Peppermint.
They'll probably blirt the answer out.
no lip gloss is probably better cause it gets smeared everywhere so everyone knows you've been sucking face.
If you're going to kiss with braces make sure there are no sharp pieces and a word of warning if you kiss someone else with braces your braces may get hooked on their braces and that's just an embarrassing thing to try and get out of as the only way to get apart is either break the braces or get a dentist or someone of that nature to get you apart.
There is really no proper way to kissing everyone is different, but there are a few pointers to help you out.
the best way to kiss is just to not think about it and do it

i sucked at first too,
But i got a guy friend to teach me :)
he didnt mind! so maybey that's what you should do!

don't think so much about kissing. just relax and do it. as long as you don't have onion breath or anything like that, don't worry about mint flavors or braces or what to say. go with the flow.

Oh wait wear the cute little pink sleep shorts...

How to kiss...?
Do you prefer spearmint or peppermint?
What do you like them to tell you after?
Lip Gloss or No lip Gloss?
CAN YOU KISS WITH BRACES?? If so, how?
Thanks in advance!
PS. I'm really inexperianced.... if I kiss a guy that is?? and he doesn't like it, will he understand or make fun of me behind my back?
How to kiss...?
Peppermint.
They'll probably blirt the answer out.
no lip gloss is probably better cause it gets smeared everywhere so everyone knows you've been sucking face.
If you're going to kiss with braces make sure there are no sharp pieces and a word of warning if you kiss someone else with braces your braces may get hooked on their braces and that's just an embarrassing thing to try and get out of as the only way to get apart is either break the braces or get a dentist or someone of that nature to get you apart.
There is really no proper way to kissing everyone is different, but there are a few pointers to help you out.
the best way to kiss is just to not think about it and do it
Reply:i like girls with braces. just soft kisses ,no lip gloss
