What's the most expensive drink you've ever bought?
What made you decide to try it? After drinking, what did you think of it? I bought a $53 bottle of french pink champagne at the local liquor store. I bought it because I've always been curious what it tastes like. "Hotel California" probably had something to do with that :happy: :wink:

Small town with no gym - workout ideas?
Hi, I need some exercise ideas for people living in a rural area. I'm in a small (about 800 people) town with no type of gym or fitness facilities. The nearest gym is a YMCA which is a two-hour round trip. That gym is well-equipped but I don't have the time or money to drive there every day. I am trying to pay off student…

I'm curious, what's your experience with Gaydar?
I was talking with some female friends and we all agreed that there's a certain sixth sense that tells us, within seconds, when a man is gay. I can usually tell by observing a guy's walk or by his voice. Strangely, I don't experience the same "gaydar" thing with other women and I can't distinguish a gay woman from a…

Need advice on tooth crowns - gold or white?
My dentist told me I need a crown, and he recommended a gold one because "they're cheaper than white, more sturdy and will last almost forever". I've had white fillings before, but most of them have broken or deteriorated on me within a few years. My current dentist told that my mouth wasn't well-suited to white fillings…

What can I do with Lotus seeds?
Help, I bought a 5-oz. package of dried lotus seeds and don't know what to do with them. I naively thought that they could be eaten raw as a snack, and nearly broke a tooth before I gave up. Anybody have suggestions for how to prepare and cook them? Thanks!

Depressing/disturbing kids songs
My toddler nieces love this song. And since toddlers love repetition, I get treated to hearing it over and over again from their CD. :explode: Really, there's something disturbing about children cheerfuly singing a song about tormenting and killing an animal. I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee. Wont my mommy be so proud of…

Any other adventurous eaters out there?
This weekend, out of curiosity I tried seal flipper pie for the first time. Anyway, I'm interested to hear what kinds of animals other people have tried, and what you thought of them? My list is as follows: Seal flipper (not sure how I feel about this. It tastes a bit like liver, or maybe canned oyster meat) Moose Bison…

Lost toenail - can I keep running?
I completed my first 10-mile race 2 weeks ago. Immediately after the race, I noticed one of my toenails was lifted up and blistered underneath. I cleaned and drained the blister. Tonight, that toenail has now fallen off, leaving an empty pink crater and the remnants of the blister. It is not bleeding. Can I still go for…

Suggestions for cooking turnip greens?
I bought a large bag of turnip greens for the first time at a farmer's market. I've had some with salad dressing and some in sandwiches, but I'd like to cook and eat the rest while they're still good (purchased 5 days ago). I tried out an online recipe that sauteed them in bacon grease. It was delicious but, as you might…

How long will homemade hummus stay fresh?
It's Saturday night right now and I just finished making hummus in the blender. It contains chick peas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. It's in the refrigerator right now. My question is: Will this still taste as good if I take it to a potluck Tuesday afternoon? Or should I make a fresh batch on Monday?…

Just for fun - which popular songs annoy you the most?
Just for fun…which popular songs make you cringe? For me it's these types: Songs that repeat one word ad nauseum, like “Shots” and that Gwen Stefani song that endlessly goes "Hey baby, hey baby, hey" Songs with offensive lyrics, like “I Loved Her First”: It sounds like two kids fighting over one toy. What a nice way to…
