Wealth of useless information
I'm a 38 year old single mother of 2 girls. I work full time doing medical billing. I am pagan. I am dieting and hating it. I am however getting into exercising again. If I ever won the lottery I'd become a globetrotter(not the basektball team).
Plumbing Question?
On average how much does it cost to get a natural gas line run in a kitchen for a cook stove? I may be inheriting a gas stove in the near futuresince my sister is remodeling; but my kitchen is not plumbed for gas. I have gas heat and a gas water heater.
I just need a ball park figure. Thanks.

26 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoI've had this strange dream off and on for many years. What does it mean?
In my dream, I pull something out of my mouth sometimes it is chewing gum sometimes it has the texture of spider webs. I keep pulling this stuff out of my mouth because it is choking me. It just keeps coming out and I am still choking on it. I have never pulled it all out or choked to death on it. I don't know what this dream means but it has plagued me since my teens and I am almost 40.

2 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoJust got a puppy. Feeding Question....?
I just got a puppy that is about 8 weeks old. She is huge... She is part boxer and part Lab. I haven't owned a big dog in a very long time. My question is how much should I be feeding her???
She eats like a pig and always seems hungry but I don't want to over feed her. I've been feeding her 2 cups (8 oz) of puppy chow a day one cup in the moring one in the evening. Is that enough or should I feed her a little more.
17 AnswersDogs1 decade agoWhy are so many supposedly religious people so hypercritical and intolerant?
I was raised in the christian church and have since left to follow my own path. The thing that made me leave the church was the hipocracy and intollerance.
Love your fellow man, as long as he isn't gay, jewish, muslim, eats meat on Friday, eats meat at all, is tattooed or dresses like a woman. Who cares, good people are good people regardless of what the eat, what they wear, who they worship, or who they sleep with.
I thought the message was supposed to be Love your fellow man. No exceptions.
Many of things that people do in the name of religion are reprehensible.
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat is your opinion of the Spanish ban of Anorexic models?
Spain has placed a ban on models under a BMI of 18. This is still painfully thin but it is a start. I fully agree with this idea and believe that much more needs to be done to improve the international standard of "beauty".
The waife look has had it's run now let's bring back curves. It is a standard that is achivable and reasonable and much healthier for the models and the consumers. As a consumer, I can look at a dress worn by someone built like Marylin Monroe and imagine how it would look on me but if I look at a dress worn by Kate Moss the only thing I want to do is make that girl a sandwich.
8 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoWhy are Large Size clothes so ugly?
I am a big girl and wear a size 18. I like to dress in flattering attractive clothes. I have 2 problems when shopping I have encountered.
The biggest problem is that clothing designers think that a few fat cells destroy taste. I hate big patterns on shapeless blouses and dresses that look like they are cut fo fit a refridgerator rather than a human. I am big but I have curves and I like to look taylored rather than schlumpy.
Second issue is price. I like the clothes in Lane Bryant (they are sometimes way too trendy) but they are soooooo expensive. I know that a little more material goes into making larger clothes but get real.
To quote Seinfield: "What's up with that?"
13 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoWhat is the obsession with super thinness?
I don't get why a woman with curves in America is considered fat. An example is a woman who is 5'5" weighs about 130-145 pounds and wears a size 7 or size 9 in jeans. How on earth could this be considered fat?
How can anyone think that a woman is attractive when you see bones and sunken cheeks? She looks like an emmaciated 12 year old boy.
Someone please explain this too me.
20 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoHow to clean a burnt stainless steel pan?
My daughter cooked Macaroni and cheese yesterday. When I got home it was sitting on a burner set on low. The bottom of the pan was black. I left it to soak overnight hoping to loosen it up.
What can I use that will disolve this burnt on mess? The pan is stainless steel professional grade sauce pan. There is no teflon coating or anything weird like that. Will oven cleaner work? I know a lot of abrasive cleanser (Ajax or Comet) and scrubbing will eventually get it clean but I am looking for an easier way. I'm lazy.
6 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoDr Who Season 2 DVD Box set US Release????
Help!!! Does anyone know when Dr. Who Season 2 DVD will be available in the US? On the same note does anyone know when SciFi channel will start broadcasting Season 3?
I'm in the process of moving and I cut the cable off until I get set up in my new place so I am not able to watch TV right now at all.
1 AnswerTelevision1 decade agoWho made the better Dr. Who? (new Series only)?
So far I really like the new series of Dr. Who. However I prefer Christopher Eccelston to David Tennant. Tennant is ok but too twitchy for me. I loved Eccleston's portrayal. His doctor was more appealing to me. No one spoiling Season 3 for me. I live in the US and just finished with Season 2. Who do you prefer and don't vote Tom Baker.
3 AnswersTelevision1 decade agoAm I being too Harsh???
My 12 year old is LD gifted. She has a learning disability but is gifted on top of it. If she does her school work she makes "A's". Her grades are not good becasue she doesn't turn things in and refuses to do assignments she thinks are stupid. That is the background.
My family (Mother, Sister, and myself) is planning a trip to Tokyo in April. I told my daughter that I'd bring her along (Not that I can afford it) if she obtained and maintained a B average. Her Semester grades come out in 2 weeks. She is not going to make her B.
Am I being to Harsh for not letting her go to Japan?
