Do you like quail eggs? how to take out the shells?

pehpot @pehpot (4762) • Philippines 20 Oct 08

I just cooked some quail eggs a while ago. I broiled it and put it in our dishes. I really had a hard time taking out the shells. My 5 year old kid even helped me out with it. I do wonder is there a really nice and easier way to...

Cunning_linguist I also like quail eggs, but unfortunately I don't have a tried and tested formula to removing the shells. The best I can do is to peel the shell VERY carefully, otherwise I'd be peeling off a piece of the egg with it. When I eat quail eggs, sometimes I peel...

Cunning_linguist I usually prefer hot, steaming dishes when I'm sick, such as chicken noodle soup and congee (lugaw). I also go for anything in sour broth (sinigang) because it's hot and at the same time the tangy taste helps liven my palate. I remember in my childhood...

Has a cell phone replaced your wrist watch?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 13 Oct 08

I have just read something recently that stated that the sale of wrist watches has gone down drastically. They are accrediting this phenomenon on the usage of cell phones. They claim that most ppl no longer have the need for a...

Cunning_linguist Even if I carry a cellphone, I still use a wristwatch to tell time. Force of habit really, but I don't think I'll ever get tired of wearing a watch. Sometimes it can be such a bother having to dig up the cellphone from a pants pocket, while a watch is just on...

Cunning_linguist Nope, never been hospitalized. I imagine that if I ever do, I might get even more sick since I find hospitals depressing. The environment is too sterile, and don't even get me started on the food. :-D

If a man is going bald,should he just admit it?

3cardmonte @3cardmonte (5098) 19 Oct 08

I make fun of someone i know (he knows i am not serious,just messing about) about him being bald. But i think at least he had the courage to admit he was going bald. I think people with combovers and the such like look so obviouly...

Cunning_linguist I'm genetically predisposed to baldness, so I'll probably lose all my hair before I reach 50. I've prepared myself for that possibility long ago, that's why I vowed never to use toupees or combovers when I do start to lose my hair massively. I've even toyed...

redkathy @redkathy (3374) • United States 16 Oct 08

Cunning_linguist Well, medicinal properties or not, I still love the taste of chicken soup. Maybe that's the secret to its therapeutic benefits; if it makes you feel good, it releases endorphins which stimulate the body's natural ability to fight illness.

Bills - How do you pay them? Internet, checks, automatic payment?

lizard211 @lizard211 (240) • United States 29 Sep 08

What method of payment do you use for your monthly bills? I would have to say that for about 75% of my monthly bills, I pay over the internet. I only use automatic payment for one bill. I would probably use auto payment more but I...

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 29 Sep 08

Cunning_linguist We had a fine digital camera before, a Kodak CX6330. It was reliable enough, and we could use AA rechargeable batteries on it. Plus it looked cute, like a toy. Too bad it got damaged two years ago when floodwaters entered our house. So we got a Panasonic Lumix...

Is money really the root of all evil?

Arkie69 @Arkie69 (2156) • United States 29 Sep 08

Cunning_linguist It is dangerous to use the phone for making calls when it has less than two bars of battery power left -- because the call might suddenly get cut off, LOL. Usually I charge my phone when the low battery warning begins to flash, but sometimes if I want to fully...
