What to have with scalloped potato and ham casserole?
I'm trying a new recipe tonight, which is scalloped potatoes and ham in the crock-pot. The casserole is almost done, and I'm not sure what would be a good side. Perhaps a salad? Any suggestions are welcomed!
7 AnswersCooking & Recipes8 years agoWhat to title my romance story?
I asked this question before but I didn't find any answers that I wanted to use...
I promised my friend that I'd right her a romance story, and I have most of the content worked out, but I can't think of a title. Also, I think if I had a title I could work it out more as well. Here's what it's about (sorry if it's cliche):
Eve is the new student at her school, and she is miserable without the people she left behind. Eve is pressured into signing up for tutoring by her math teacher, and her first job is Fletcher, who's not too smart when it comes to Geometry. She doesn't feel it being romantic at first, but she soon meets Alex, who is a bad-boy type. Eve immediately wants nothing to do with him, but, at her friend's insistence, she agrees to go on a date with Alex. Fletcher becomes jealous, especially after Alex turns Eve into a completely different person. It's kinda love-triangly until the middle of the story--Alex OD's at a party, and he's in ICU for two weeks, until he flat lines. Eve thinks that she may go crazy from grief, and she becomes sectioned off from everyone else, and acts out. Eventually Fletcher is able to get through to Eve and they fall in love.
Yeah, it may be stereotypical and cliche, but I think it could end up being a good story! Please suggest titles, but if you have any suggestions to make it better, please tell!

1 AnswerOther - Computers8 years agoThe Spacers In My Teeth Hurt...?
I'm getting braces in 2 weeks, but first I have to deal with spacers until then. My teeth are very crowded together, and the spacers are hurting so bad I want to cry. I have a very sensitive mouth and I don't know what to do, I've only had them in for 3 hours and I can't imagine the next 2 weeks. If it matters, there are 10 in, six on top and four on bottom.
Is there anything I can do until then to make them less uncomfortable? Any related stories with advice?
Thank you!
3 AnswersDental8 years agoHelp writing a dramatic short story?
For reasons that aren't really relevent, I have five days to write a drama story that is under 1,000 words. I have no idea what all falls under the genre 'drama' so if I could get some help or ideas, I would be very appreciative. I'm not looking for someone to map out the entire story for me, I could just use a prompt of some sort. Or, even better, if someone could please describe to me plot points that should be included in a drama story.
Thanks!

I've been planning an Albus Severus Potter fanfiction for a few days now, and I have all of the background stuff and such down, but I still need help with the main plot. Like, the first HP book is the Philosopher/Sorcerer Stone, what should mine be? What would a good enemy or goal be?

3 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoDoes this story idea sound cliche?
Sixteen year old Zoe has the ability to breathe underwater. She doesn't know why, but she is determined to find out how it is possible. But one day, she is out for a swim and sees someone drowing. She saves him and they fall in love.
I know it may be hard to get a feel for the story with that short summary, but do you think it sounds like it has the potential to be cliche? Thanks!
3 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoCould my character call their stepmother 'mom'?
Brooklyn (Brooke for short) is mermaid, and doesn't know it. Her mother was a mermaid and she left shortly after she was born (though her father and her were told she died), so she never really got to know her mom. Her dad remarried Erin when Brooke was 2 years old, and she is just as good a mother anyone could ask for. Would it be okay for 14-year-old Brooke to call her Mom?
I have both of my parents so I'm not sure how it works in the step-mom and dad world... Any advice is appreciated!
3 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoA Title for this Story?
It's about this camp, where creatures inhabit. The main character is a new camper, who is a mermaid. She doesn't fit in well at first, since she doesn't know what group she fits in with (she thinks the other merfolk are too conceited, the vampires are too dark and scary, the werewolves are athletic and dense, the faeries and elves are rude, etc.), and she has to discover where she belongs. After she decides, she has made many enemies, and she is the main culprit when a huge crime is performed on campus, so she has to clear her name!
I have more thought out but that's just the jist of it! I was thinking a title like "Camp ____". At first it was going to be Camp Creature but someone told me it was a movie or TV show and (even though I couldn't find any evidence) I don't want to come close to a copyright issue. Any serious title ideas are appreciated!
Also, do you have any names for the main character? I was going to go with Brooke, but I think that sounds snobby, and I don't want anyone to get the wrong Idea about her. She has light caramel colored hair, bluish-green eyes, and normal Caucasian skin tone. She is a mermaid, but I have a lot of different twists than the common mermaid idea. She is a caring person, but has a bad side if her nerves wear thin, and wants to be friends with everyone, even though that's not how it'll end up in the end.
Thank you for all of the advice!!!!
2 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoIs this a good Percy Jackson prophecy for a fanfiction?
So, in this story, the main characters are Erica , daughter of Athena, Cody, son of Apollo, and Laila, daughter of Aphrodite, all 14 years old. Camp Half Blood has been suffering under a horrible disease (doesn't kill, but the side effects are so bad you wish for death). Erica has to find Artemis, since she has stopped the disease before, along with her brother (one of Apollo's skills is medicine...) who is MIA at the moment, and get her help. This takes place before the Percy Jackson series, so the war is brewing. In the end, Cody (who is in allegiance with Kronos) betrays them, trying to kill Erica in her sleep but only scarring her face. Erica had a crush on Cody, and she ends up joining the Hunters of Artemis.
Here is Erica's prophecy:
To save them all and find the cure,
Find the Goddess who is pure.
Beware, though, her blood is dark,
And the betrayal will leave a mark.
The original problems will be fixed,
And a new bond will be made upon the Styx.
What do you think of the actual story? And is the 'her blood is dark' obvious enough meaning that Cody, who is her biological nephew meaning their DNA is similar, and he is evil?
Thanks for your comments!!! ^-^
3 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoCollege Essay Help, Please?
I have to do an essay for my application answering the following questions:
1. Why do you want to attend *blah blah college*?
2. What has been your experience working with computers (using word processing, spreadsheets, accessing the internet, etc.)
3. What are your future educational and career goals?
I want to be a bit unique with my essay, so I wanted to take advantage of my writing skills and write a short story about me writing my essay.
"I sit at my wooden desk.... Open word... Okay, why do I want to attend this college? Well... *insert answer to first question* My phone rings, must resist urge to answer it and talk with my friend... Okay, focus! My experience with computers? Well... *Insert second answer* Murr, more random ramblings. My future educational/career goals? Well..."
Okay, it'll be way better than that, that was just a really quick example. Is this a good idea? Or should I just be mainstream and write only the essay? Please, don't be rude, thank you!
1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)8 years agoI think I might have diabetes...?
Hey, I'm a fourteen year old girl, and I'm concerned I might have diabetes. In health class we learned some signs and I'm a bit paranoid now. My grandmother had severe diabetes and died of it, and right now my aunt has it, so it does run in my family. I put sugar on a lot of foods, I don't exercise at all, but I'm not overweight, nor have I lost a frequent amount of weight lately, I'm 105 and 5'2". I've noticed my hands, arms, legs, and feet have felt a bit tingly lately, and my inner-elbows feel constricted at some points in the day.
I know I should see a doctor immediately, but I have a huge fear of needles, and I'm scared of the possibility I might be diagnosed. I couldn't live with diabetes, pricking my fingers and taking insulin shots... I'm horrified, and I could really use some guidance right now. Do you think I have diabetes? Any positive advice is appreciated!

3 AnswersWords & Wordplay8 years agoWould light purple temporary dye work with my medium brown hair?
I permanently dyed my boring brown hair a reddish brown color a month ago, and I like it. I want to surprise everyone at school after the Christmas break when I show up with light purple hair and tell them it's permanent, but I only want it temporary. I already bought the dye (this color: http://i47.tinypic.com/2regq6b.jpg) and I was wondering if it would actually dye right with my brown hair. I will not bleach my hair since I'm quite happy with the way it looks right now. It's about to my shoulder blades if length matters. Any advise or experience is welcomed!

6 AnswersFriends8 years agoWhich name do you like best?
In my book I have a character who is a witch who leaves her coven to help my main character, Noelle, fight against them. I originally named her Devyn, but I've been told it sounds trampy and I DON'T want that. Besides, I don't think it fits her well. She has platinum blonde hair and icy blue eyes with pale skin. She is often found staring off into the distance and is a girl of few words. She is 14 years old.
A few names I have picked out are:
Indira (I love this one, but a character's name is Iris so I can't really use it...)
McKenna
Juliet
Leola/Leona/Enola
Trinity
Lynne
I do not like the name Destiny for this character.
If you have better ones please suggest them! Thank you so much! This will for sure help me!
