  • Do you have any links to good videos on Potty Training?

    I am trying to get a 2 1/2 year old little girl trained.

    She has a Minnie Mouse potty chair, and Dora the Explorer pull up diapers.

    So if you know of any (you tube or other) online videos with those characters, I would appreciate links to them.

    (I think it helps if they can 'identify' with a character that they already know)

    Or if you have any other tips and/or ideas that have worked well for you, please pass them on to me.

    I have already read all the info and website advise for the parent (or in my case the babysitter)... now I am looking for online character videos that I can show her online.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Is there any easy and free online typing/keyboarding tutorials?

    The one class I regret never having taken in high school is typing. Of course that was before computers.

    :)

    Boy was I ever stupid, I didn't think I would ever want to be somebodies "secretary"

    I type "OK" with the 2-3 finger hunt and peck method, but I have to look at the keys.

  • Poll Survey: What if we (Y!A users) were *Truly Anonymous*?

    I was watching competition shows like "The Taste" and "The Voice".

    On Those shows, the contestants are not known to the judges until after they are selected

    They are selected Just by hearing their voice , or the taste of their food.

    The judges have no clue whatsoever about the contestant.

    So what we (here on Answers) couldn't see any thing about the users until after a Q was resolved?

    No user name nor avatar.

    No Y!A stats nor badges.

    No network connections.

    And no chance of viewing a users previous Q/A

    __________

    Would you still ask/answer Q's?

    Would you ask/answer differently?

    Would it make a difference in rating, following, and/or reporting?

  • Is asking for an opinion necessarily a chat violation?

    I thought that "opinions" were OK to ask for?

    Even in the help pages, it says:

    "It is possible that a question could be considered a "rant", even if it is formatted correctly. Avoid posting questions that are more about declaring your opinions than seeking knowledge."

    BUT, it doesn't say that asking for an opinion is wrong, does it?

    The help pages also state:

    "Respectfully expressed strong opinions that contribute to useful knowledge for the community are OK on Yahoo! Answers. However, questions and answers that express hate and intolerance have no place on Yahoo! Answers and should be reported. Do not use slurs to refer to groups of people, do not insult other members, and do not act in a belligerent manner towards others."

    But regardless.. I keep seeing users here telling other users that "asking for a personal opinion is a chat violation"

    Please explain the difference to me.

    Examples:

    #1 Which entree would you prefer for a wedding dinner Beef, Fowl, Seafood?

    #2 Which phone is better the iPhone 5 or the S3

    #3 In your opinion, Is Internet Explorer better than Firefox?

    #4 What's your opinion about the Chicago Cubs baseball team verses the Chicago White Sox?

    #5 In your opinion, Which team will be better this year? The Chicago White Sox or Chicago Cubs?

    Which, if any, of those would be considered "chat"... and why

    then why do they continue to ask questions about Religions?

    are they still questioning their (non) belief?

  • Recipes and techniques for cinnamon tortilla's, cinnamon tortilla bowls, and fruity salsas and/or deserts?

    I need some ideas for some upcoming events. (New Years, Football parties and Superbowl parties)

    First:

    I want to make baked (not fried) Cinnamon tortilla chips, and put them in an edible baked cinnamon tortilla bowl

    I am using these pans : http://media.lakeside.com/images/product/3076_mn.j...

    I haven't made these before so I need to know how much sugar/cinnamon to use and do I also use butter, cooking spray? or oil?

    Do I coat both sides of the tortilla?

    Second:

    For the chips, I imagine I am supposed to use flour tortillas for the bowls and chips? Or would whole wheat be better?

    I can use an oven companion product (http://media.lakeside.com/images/product/10704_110... to expand the "shelves" in the oven, so it doesn't take forever to make tons of chips, but I need to know how long to bake and, again, sugar/cinnamon ratios and do I coat both sides, use of oils, and do I flip them over?

    Third:

    I need recipes for the salsas that I could make

    Like strawberry salsa? or apple? Or Mango? Any ideas or recipes for that would be good with the cinnamon chips?

    Fourth:

    Will the mini-cinnamon tortilla bowls hold up if I serve the salsas in them? How to make them strongest to hold up?

    And finally/Fifth:

    Any desert ideas to put in the mini cinnamon tortilla bowls.

    I am thinking of something similar to Cracker barrels "Fried Apples" with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and caramel Sauce.

    All Ideas would be helpful (especially if you've tried these before) and you don't have to answer all 5 parts of the Q to be considered as "Best Answer"

    I will leave this question open for an extended period and I will choose a BA.

    *Stars* are appreciated too, even if you don't have an answer.. (to get more people to see and answer).

    Thank You in advance.

  • e-cigarettes Poll/survey. What Information/experience can you share?

    I am researching the products and there are SO many different brands and prices. I would appreciate user comments, tips, experiences, and recommendations.

    I smoke menthol 100's (prefer Newports/Maverick/Pall Mall)

    and am looking to replace the flavor without the carcinogens, and hopefully wean myself off smoking all together.

    But the starter kits are expensive and I don't want to waste my money on lousy products.

    I have looked into 2 brands

    MagicMist and Elektro

    If you have tried these please answer about your experiences.

    If you can recommend and answer about another brand, please do.

    Any Information that you can share is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    I am in the USA and need advice from USA available products.
