  • Camera Phone advice - need both - no idea what to get.?

    I wanted to ask you what you think I should get for a camera or camera/phone that would be small enough to pocket and be able to take quality landscape photos when horseback riding for example that are able to be enlarged (most likely larger than 11 x 15) and still maintain high resolution. I need the camera also to x be able to take pics of my bakery cakes that I make. Any suggestions, as I am not tech savvy at all. I don't want to buy too much camera but no limits either. I was worried that the low megapixels (under 3) in the camera phones wouldn't work for enlarging. Can't lug around a bulky professional one riding horses or too my job, and really need a new cell phone anyway.

    Something important is speed - I have a nikon and a canon powershot, and they take way to long to take the picture and be ready to take another.

  • What kind of peppers are these?

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/chocolatmorgan/537008...

    I hope someone can help, The yellows are from two different baskets, and are different. Is one banana and one hungarian hot wax, and is the red, just a ripened jalapeno? I did try the internet for pictures and that is the closest I come up with, but hoping either chefs or fellow gardeners on here might know exactly? I save seeds so I want to label correctly too.

  • Hostess Gift - Neighbor - Never Met?

    I am invited to an open house, at a neighbors for ladies only. I just realized maybe I should bring a "thank you & appreciation for inviting me" gift. She told me I don't need to bring anything, as its being catered. Instead of wine or flowers (which is so common) would a jar of my homemade raspberry jam from this summer be ok or would a homemade gift from a stranger be unappropriate?

  • Can I use rainbow sprinkles - before baking?

    I want to make those colorful spritzer cookies that you see in the store, that have the rainbow sprinkles on them, they look as though they were decorated in advance of baking... But will they melt and ruin the cookies if I try this at home. Sugar works well, but will these kind of sprinkles work?

  • How do you like your snapper?

    I cook seafood alot, but never this, I don't want to over power with peppers or tomatoes, but have no idea if its too bland just broiled in a lemon garlic butter like I do salmon or baked with a buttery garlic ritz crumb topping like I do haddock? I have no idea what it will be like and don't want my first snapper experience to not be good. How do you like it?

  • I can't tolerate noise - I want to scream?

    I already eat healthier than anyone, take supplements, excersize, have hobbies and get my sleep so its not that. i don't and have never smoked, drink or do drugs. I am 31 and its getting worse.

    I live near a state route with tractor trailers all day and night, jake brakes, and the highway dept is across the road, so I hear back up alarms, and dump trucks and diesel reving all day too.

    I love our home, we have a mini farm, so I can't just get up and move out anytime soon. My husband doesn't mind it. What can I do, It irritates me so much my back and shoulders and neck hurt from the tension. I am a happy as can be person outside of my home, but when home I am a jerk because of the noise.

  • Color Coordinating - OCD?

    From mine and my kids outfits, interior - the colors of the walls and rugs and drapes must pick up on a color in the upholstery or fabric of the quilt, For the exterior of my house, the color of my vehicles (need to pick up on the shutters of door of my house, and be same make), the barn and outbuildings has to coordinate with the house in reverse. My pets need to be the same in size and build but different color, my dogs (labs) & horses (quarter horses) have to be same breed, markings (different color). My cats have to be tabbies but in all the different shades (orange, grey and brown)

    I don't want to be drugged or seek counseling for OCD because I am obsessed with coordinating and planning. I love it, it makes be happy. I couldn't bear to add a new element to my life if it doesn't coordinate or match somehow.

    I don't understand how someone can sleep in a bedroom that is mismatched, or watch a tv that is on the wrong color entertainent center compared to the coffee and end tables. If the area rug isn't picking up on a color of the sofa, I can't stand it. I drive my husband crazy. This is me. I always loved it from when I had to lay out clothing outfits for school or pick oput walllpaper and curtains for my bedroom as a kid. I have lots of hobbies but still love buying things to match my current themes. Do others do this?

  • 8 Year old - Uncontrolled Laughing?

    My 8 year old son has a problem with laughing uncontrollably. I know laughing is a good thing, however he will continue laughing when he is in trouble. It's very hard to discipline when he is giggling and I don't think he can control it. It ends up becoming, not a laugh "because it's funny," but more a nervous giggle that he can't stop. After being scolded to control yourself, calm down etc. He willl go into a laugh cry with tears.

    Yesterday he got in trouble at school for not being able to stop laughing, and being silly throughout the day. He had to be sent in the hall. When others laugh too it makes things much worse. But the teacher was not happy with him. I am already emailing her about what to do also.

    Are there conditions that cause this? or is this normal boy behavior?

    I know as a child I had uncontrollable fits of laughing too, I thought I was just a happy kid, my friends did it too, is it genetic? I still do it, I never was labelled anything from it.

    Or am I just overacting because it's affecting his schooling? But when I look it up, I read ADD and impulse control disorders cause this. He is near perfect for everything else, just too silly sometimes.

  • Western Saddle Fitting - Wither Clearance?

    I rec'd a sadle from EBAY. I thought I needed a wider gullet, went with a 7", as the sides were so tight behind shoulders (around where breast collar dees are etc.) with my 6 3/4". Now that problem is better with this saddle, but now you can't fit fingers her wither, so I can't use this saddle either. Plus this one slid back.

    So does those built up cutback withers correct this, or cause a different problem. She has never had rub marks or white hairs, but I don't want to risk causing it, as this saddle would hurt your finger while you are on her, if you tried to get in btwn the wither.

  • Is this wrong to wear since I have red curly hair?

    I absolutely love and have been looking for this style, I thought they were just peasant style, tunic, hippy clothes, which in that case I would be fine for some one like me, I have long curly strawberry blonde auburn hair. Now I found that they are called Kurti, and when I searched Kurti I found gorgeous ones, exactly what I want with overwhelming selection.

    http://www.amazon.com/brown-sleeves-Kurti-Tunic-em...

    My concern - they all are dark haired exotic looking indian women, so would this be wrong for me as I am fair skinned american all northern european heritage. Is this ok to wear? I love them paired with boot cut jeans and leather clogs in the fall or Native American inspired sandals in the summer. I always wanted them for the style, but never til now found such nice colors and embroidery. I don't follow trends at all, I like what I like, and wear what I like.

    When decorating a house you don't mix modern with western rustic for ex. but is it ok to mix it up with fashion?

    These are the kinds of footwear I already own and love. With Bootcut jeans. (skinny jeans are not for me)

  • What do you think of hanging childhood pictures of ourselves?

    What is a creative way of hanging child portraits of my husband and I? We have several of those typical 8x10s you get done at school. Some of which are really cute when we were young and resemble our children we have now, I don't know if I should keep them in an album tucked away or turn them into something artistic. I don't want to just buy plain 8 x 10 frames, something more creative. They are too big to make a collage aren't they. I only want to use a couple of like the nicest ones (not the cheesy ones with the dated neon lights background from the 80's 90's) .

  • Recipe Modifications - What do you think?

    First of all, I never made this, to even know the original flavor. Problem is No sherbet or Cool whip. BUT I do have Friendly's French vanilla ice cream, and a frozen orange pineapple concentrate, would it be good? I have orange extract too, and coconut extract and real coconut too, I kind of thought pina colada flair to it would be better??? I don't want to waste my ice cream if it could ruin it, What do you guys think? It calls for freezing 2 hours, no baking except the initial crust making.

    Orange Julius Pie

    Crust:

    3 tablespoons butter

    2 tablespoons orange marmalade

    1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    Filling:

    3 cups orange sherbet

    3 cups frozen vanilla yogurt

    1 cup Cool Whip

  • Western Saddle Fitting Dilemma?

    I read all the online tutorials on this, I already read everything, but I need more tips from someone with experience with what I am experiencing..

    I read semi is 6 3/4 and full is 7. My current saddle is 6 3/4 from concho to concho, I have been using for 5 yrs no problems from horse, no white hairs, no rub etc. I do notice however, there is not the 3 fingers space for wither clearance. When sitting, you can barely fit a finger, that is all. I understand that would mean the gullet is too wide, but then thats the other problem possibly, is that along the front of the saddle, it is so tight, as if gullet is not wide enough, it would pinch your fingers, if you are sitting.

    I was going to go with a wider gullet, giving space along the front of sides of saddle (where the breast collar dees are), that seems like it is pinching (she never cares at all, doesn't effect movement etc.), but then the clearance won't even be a finger width if the rule is too wide of gullet + wither hitting. My Morgan does not have high withers at all so that is not the problem. Any suggestions?

    I have a template i made with wire,and cutout of cardboard, and at the tack shop the wider gulleted saddles had better less steep angles to follow her angle. So I thought this 7" would be perfect, but I am worried about the wither being too close. The owner of the tack shop acts like the only thing that matters is the wither space, when I show him that none of the saddles follow my template smoothly except the wider ones.

    Can a saddle be too narrow in the shoulder, the area near the breast collar dees ( tight along shoulder area, its behind shoulder enough, I know to put the girth a hands with behind her scapula arm pit) , but then why isn't there enough clearance in the wither?

  • Uncircumcised - Experiences Please read.?

    A couple times per year he has a burning/itching days (different soaps or too much sugary foods it seems), but negative for infections, they go away. I don't want to rush into having it cut off just because of those, (considering even little girls have issues down there sometimes not being perfect, I don't want to do surgery to him over that), I want him to decide on that when he is ready,( and I am too worried about complication of anastesia, as he is very sensitive to antibiotics or any meds)

    He has never been able to retract, we have yet to see his head, and we were always told be pediatricians he was fine, the family md wasn't sure (with children) so we went to two uroligists, one said it will do it on its own, and it was ok, the other was more procircumcising for future and avoiding penile cancer etc.

    This is my concern, have any of you either parents or personal experiences with being uncirc and when can you see the head, did it come out at this age 9 ish, puberty or adulthood? did you have problems with irritation til then.

    yesterday in school he told me it was hard during the day, and throbbed with pain, his jeans are not tight, but he is getting irritated by them, he says it was when sitting. Are penises that sensitive at almost 9? He has no idea about sex at all to be aroused. Do penises throb with pain when growing? It is normal colored, no red, irritation, no discharge, no fever. I will bring to clinic when he gets home if he still has pain in school today, for pee test to rule out UTI in case, but throbbing with erection sounds nothing like uti does it? He says its a pain of 8 when it throbs, is this typical for boys? Its a few times per day of this pain and did this am too, not at all usually but really bad when it does. I am sorry, I am from a family of females, and my husband doesn't remember anything.

    I really want to know about others experiences at this age, if the head will come out around now or never? Could this pain mean its growing?
