How to make perfect dough?
I've made cinnamon rolls a few times, but I can never get the dough right. I don't have a bread machine, food processor, or hand mixer so I have to do everything by hand. The recipe I use calls for 2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 egg, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and I like to add 2 tablespoons of sour cream as well. I do the wet and dry ingredients separately, then add the dry ingredients to the wet and combine. Also, I'm not sure whether the liquids should be cold or warm... But whenever I try to work the dough, it's way too sticky to do anything with!!! I always have to add soooo much more flour and it doesn't come out right, and I'm worried I'll overwork the dough and it'll be too tough. Help please?

4 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoHow can I get my laptop to run photoshop better?
I just got a brand new laptop and it works wonderfully. It's very fast, and opens up multiple webpages at an excellent pace. I still have 131 free GB out of 142. The only problem is I recently installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 Portable, and at first it was running perfectly but now the program itself takes a while to respond and it's kind of frustrating. Everything else is still at tip-top speed. How can I get my laptop to run Photoshop better?

4 AnswersXbox1 decade agoWhy am I getting pimples and how can I prevent them?
I never--EVER--used to get pimples. Now all of a sudden, I've been getting them very frequently over the last two months. There have been a few changes in my lifestyle though, but I still don't understand why I'm getting these pimples.
Last year I moved from Chicago to Florida. Besides the changes in weather, I've been getting less exercise than I used to and I only leave the house about 20% of the time. Other than that, I drink plenty of water, I exercise daily, and I wash my face 5 times a day with just water, plus 3 times a day with water and soap. The pimples started when I frequently started to use lotion on my face, so I immediately stopped, and only put a little bit of lotion in the corners of my mouth and beneath my eyes. But the pimples are on my cheeks and I don't understand why. I shower daily, and I wash my pillow cases and blankets every 5-7 weeks. I really don't understand why these pimples have been showing up all of a sudden.
Can someone tell me why I'm getting them all of a sudden and how I can prevent them?
4 AnswersOther - Skin & Body1 decade agoMy computer has 5GB of free space left, help!?
I've installed a registry cleaner which I thought was supposed to help. I frequently run Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. I frequently clear out all my temporary files. I've ran multiple virus scans, I have Malware Bites, Spybot S&D, and Yahoo SBC Protection, and they've picked up everything that they could. I don't understand why I have hardly any free space. Can anyone please help me?
Don't tell me to run Disk Cleanup because I've already done that.
Don't tell me to run Disk Defragmenter because I've already done that.
And don't tell me to install a registry cleaner because I've already done that.
I'm tired of getting the same answers, I need alternatives please.
5 AnswersAdd-ons1 decade agoWhat's a good virus protection program?
My computer is a virus magnet. I've had over 3 infections in the past two weeks. No one in the house looks at porn or anything like that. The main sites visited are Facebook, Yahoo, Deviantart, and Youtube. Occassionally I browse the internet for college information and wedding rings. I don't understand why my computer is always getting these viruses. I have a firewall installed but it's poop and doesn't help at all.
Basically, I'm looking for a really good virus protection program that will block infections WHILE I'm browsing the internet, not something to just remove the viruses AFTER they've already been installed on my computer. Help me please.

1 AnswerOther - Education1 decade agoWhat kind of lizard is this?
I just moved to Florida and I've been noticing these tiny miniscule lizard looking things. They're incredibly small, hardly an inch in length, and they're ridiculously thin. They run super fast, and the way they run makes them look like a miniscule T-Rex. They move so fast, you can hardly get a good look at one clearly. I think they're lizards, but it's hard to tell.
Does anyone know what it is? I've looked all over the web, but I can't find anything similar to what I saw.
