  • Hypothetical probate question: If a widow found out after her husband's death...?

    that he had a gay lover and had "willed" that man everything, would she be able to take the boyfriend to court to contest the will citing "marital property" or something along those lines? (before anyone feels the need to comment on homosexuality or anything related, this is research for a story am writing. I need to know a little about probate in a case like this.)

  • Why does it seem like sometimes I am hungry no matter what I eat?

    Especially in the middle of the night. I have noticed if I have a snack later at night I'm more likely to wake up hungry in the middle of the night...but then it's like, do i go to bed hungry or wake up hungry? and sometimes (like the past 2 nights) i wake repeatedly and can eat almost 1000 calories cumulatively before getting up for good the next morning. I try eating protein, I try eating fiber. I really am tired of waking up so hungry I can't sleep, but don't know what else to do.

    Addt'l details.~ I am 5'2 and 128 lbs, so I am not obese. my metabolism has always been fast but is no longer equal to my hunger these past years. I have worked to get back to this weight from being pregnant, and I still nurse my child but only once or twice a day, so i doubt that is a large calorie drain

  • How do the health benefits of granulated garlic differ from fresh?

    i love to cook with garlic, but as I don't have a mincer and hand chopping takes too much time (for me anyhow). How much of the health benefits am I losing by using granulated garlic, like McCormick?

  • Advice on blending essential oils?

    I'm pretty new to blending essential oils for a specific purpose, although I have long been a fan or aromatic oils. I was wondering if you might give me a bit of advice. My question is this; if I blend Light Tea Tree Essential Oil with, say, the Aloe Vera gel base, would that make an acceptable moisturizer? I am finding since my child was born (and my period has returned) that my skin is breaking out a lot (more than I ever did as a teen!) I have been doing research and am starting to realize all the actually comedogenic ingredients in most facewashes and moisturizers (even those labeled non-comedogenic), and I was hoping this would be a good solution. I used to use Tea Tree Oil on my piercings for it's anti-bacterial properties and I love the smell,

    Please advise! Thank you!

  • Why are some moisturizers allowed to be labeled non-comedogenic when they have highly comedogenic ingredients?

    I've been doing some research into the ingredients in my cosmetics due to recent problems I've had with my skin. My moisturizer (clearly labeled non-comedogenic) has as it's SECOND ingredient, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE , which is a 4 out of 5 on the comedogenic scale. How can this be? How can it be labeled NON-comedogenic? Isn't that false advertising?

  • Are all calories created equal?

    If I had a 250 calorie meal of red beans and rice, and on the other hand a 250 calorie doughnut, is one more likely to turn to fat than the other, all other things (exercise and such) considered equal, or is 250 calories 250 no matter where it comes from?

  • How do I handle (discipline) my one year old in this case?

    She keeps going back to the SAME shelf (takes books and dvd's off the shelf) that i keep telling her no...Now, I understand she may not remember one instance to the next since she's only one, but when i tell her no, she often ignores me until i get up and walk towards her

    I have tried "smacking' her hand, and I told her no and redirected her a million times. I even have stopped her and tried to make her look at my face when i tell her (and I think that makes her uncomfortable, cuz she won't meet my gaze.)

    I don't really want to spank her, and at any rate she wears a diaper and wouldn't feel it anyway... Moving these things are also not an option, the shelves are built in and there is very little space in the apartment anyway.

  • In Japanese anime, why are Japanese ppl always so fragile?

    Namely, they always get "fevers" that seem to not just make them feel ill, but completely incapacitate them or cause them to faint, they get nose bleeds over girls. Where did these "stereotypes" and concepts begin?

  • Can I breastfeed on prednisone if my child just had vaccinations?

    I have a sinus infection and am supposed to start antibiotics and a 4 day course of prednisone. My baby just got her 4 month vaccinations today and her pediatrician said I should wait 3 days to start the prednisone...but when I asked why specifically she said there hadn't been enough studies or she had read enough on the subject or whatever (in short, in sounded like a "covering her butt just to be sure" suggestion.) Does anyone know if breastfeeding on prednisone (relatively low dose) after she got immunizations will cause her to get sick or have a bad effect on the efficacy of the vaccines, etc. Informed answers pls. Thank you.
