  1. The smaller the pieces that you put in, the quicker they will break down into compost. Shredding is almost always a good idea, if you can manage it. Turning it is probably your biggest factor in how fast the compost will be finished.
  2. I did lose a young kitty once during a routine spay (her lungs collapsed). If I could afford it, I would do it for a female, especially. It is a much more invasive procedure for a female. That is only because of my one bad experience, though. I would not feel guilty for NOT doing it, if you choose not to. If it was really all that necessary, the vet would require it, I think.
  3. There are also a few sites around that give you daily freebies and also LOW cost "daily deals". Amazon does daily deals- current writers/books for a dollar or two, and also freebies. I follow Pixel of Ink and Kindleboards on Facebook, but I think you can also sign up with them to get a daily e-mail with today's deals. Also check out this blog: http://howtohomeschoolforfree.com/ she lists lots of kids/educational type books that are free for kindles.
  4. Has anyone used bourbon instead of vodka to make vanilla?
  5. There is actually a disorder called Night Eating Disorder (or something like that). It is not really about snacking- the criteria is that at least 50% of your daily calorie intake comes after the evening meal. My dh does this. EVERY. NIGHT. In his defense, though, he is a chef and does not eat much during the day (when you bake off 500 pounds of chicken you are sick of the sight of it and definitely do not want to eat any of it!). He is maybe 25-30 pounds overweight, all in the belly, but it is hard to fuss at him about eating at night- I know how he feels about eating when you are making mounds of food. Keep healthy choices in the fridge is all I know to do.
  6. 20 B - 33 = - 17 + 19 B + 33 +33 20 B = 16 + 19 B - 19 B = 16 - 19 B B = 16 Hope that makes sense.
  7. Ok, I had to catch up a bit today, but I did get all of the challenges completed, along with the optional challenges. What a great feeling! I cannot wait to continue on next week!
  8. When we went in for allergy testing, the doc did a little survey type thing- do you smoke, do you have dogs/cats, etc, etc, and started from there. Depending on the reactions from the first battery of scratches, they can then go back and narrow it down. Also, there is a whole plethera of associations, like- if they are allergic to this, there is a whatever percent chance that they are allergic to this other thing. I would wait for the allergist, as long as the reactions are just skin/hive and not serious reactions. You may want to invest in a bottle of benedryl, though, or maybe some of the topical stuff. Good luck!
  9. The "rule of four" is introducted in Epsilon (Fractions). It is used to compare, add, subtract and divide fractions. You multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction, and then by the numerator of the second fraction, and then multiply the denominator of the second fraction to the denominator of the first fraction and the numerator of the first fraction. It is a "shortcut" to getting common denominators. EX: 2/3 + 1/5 = 3 x 5= 15, 3 x 1= 3, so... 3/15, then 5 x 3= 15, 5 x 2= 10, so 10/15 becomes... 10/15 + 3/15= Clear as mud? It seemed to me like going around your thumb to get to your elbow, but it works. It will not give you the lowest common denominator, but it will give you a common denominator. Hope that helps.
  10. You are my new best friend!!! Had a bad rust stain in one toilet and a weird ring around another one that I could not get rid of (had even resorted to gloves and a magic eraser!!!). This product removed both before my very eyes! THANK YOU!!!
  11. Yeah, it is just the answers. I did not get them, although I may in the future (just for speed and ease of grading).
