Life Rule Number 1: Less is more
How should I store my cucumber to make it last longer?
If I leave cucumber out it gets dry and moldy. If I put it in the fridge it gets soft and soggy. In either case I have to through it out before it gets used up.
So how should I store my cucumber to get the most out of it, before it turns bad?
3 AnswersOther - Food & Drink1 decade agoHow Green are CFL light builds, really?
CFL's are supposted to be green because they require less energy. Now, because the Edison Standard was a simple design (Glass, aluminum and wire) and was completely recylcable, I assume that the CFL's are much harder to make and can't be recycled.
So, how much pollution is created when a CFL light build is made? Surely there must be some chemical run off or Green house gasses made. How much polution are CFL's going to make, when they do eventually die, and go into landfills?

12 AnswersThanksgiving1 decade agoShould I increase my workout pace for a higher heart rate?
My current cardio excercise consists of maintaining my heart rate at 85% of the recomended maximum heart rate for my age. I'm 28, so (220-28)x.85=163. I have no trouble maintaining that level of excersion and don't feel tired after my workout.
I've always had low blood presure, low colestoral and a healthy heart. However, when I was 5 I had a heart murmur, but I grew out of that.
So, would it be safe to increase my heart rate to a higher level during my cardio workout?

1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Mail1 decade agoHow do I make it look like I'm working without actually doing any work?
My boss has this funny idea that I should be working at all times: Even when there is nothing to do. I am good at my job, and do all that is required under the job discription, but often times there is nothing to do.
If my boss sees me sitting around with nothing to do, she well ask me to do a "project," like going over the past 6 years of TPS reports to make sure they have top sheets. The last person who had a project took 6 weeks of non-stop work only to go to the bosses desk where the boss threw it way before she ever read it.
So what I need is something to do that makes it look like I'm working, when have nothing to do.
