Why do restaurant salads taste so much better than a homemade one?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 23 Jun 08

I make salads all the time. I once recreated the famous Olive Garden salad for a party and people were begging me to make it again. But why does a restaurant salad taste better when I'm out to dinner instead of at home for...

Fiammetta I know what you mean. It's true. I think its the surprise element. When someone else makes your salad, there will always be an element of surprise as you don't know exactly whats in it. Even salad dressings no matter how basic, rarely taste alike. Sliced...

Did you know that laughter is so universal that even animals do it?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 22 Jun 08

I heard on the radio last week that scientists have found that rats laugh when they tussle with each other and when humans tickle them. See the story here: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=626264&page=1 It's also been...

Fiammetta That's hilarious. I'd love to hear a chimpanzee laughing. That would cheer everyone up. What about people that laugh like horses? What category do they come under?

My pregnant sister-in-law's behavior

wrld_n_harmony @wrld_n_harmony (695) • United States 22 Jun 08

My husband and I recently went to visit his dad and step-mom. His sister-in-law flew down to visit, and she's 4 months pregnant. I've always had some issues with her, but she was just SO unbearable on this visit! Now, let me say...

Fiammetta She sounds a bit over the top to me. Pregnancy can make you tired and irritable but you just have to get on with it and not take it out on others. At least you can keep your distance from her. Good luck

Aaah! I'm Mylotting and my Pizza Burnt and Smoked up the whole House!

momalisa65 @momalisa65 (1971) • United States 21 Jun 08

I put a pizza in the oven and sat here and commented on a couple discussions and all of a sudden I looked and my whole kitchen was full of smoke. Actually, so was the room I'm sitting in, but I didn't even notice! Lol. So I...

Fiammetta That is so annoying! I love pizza and cherish my weekly one. I'm so fussy about overdone pizza yet often end up answering the phone or running a bath or doing something just before my pizza burns to a crisp. At least your was still edible. Once when I was a...

Starting new discussions

kimbers867 @kimbers867 (2539) • United States 22 Jun 08

When you are ready to start a new discussion, do you use the search feature to see is someone has started a discussion on what you want to talk about? Or do you just go ahead and start one? Sometimes I do; sometimes, when I...

Fiammetta A good question. I'm new on the block and have started some discussions which haven't gone far. Others have got a few responses. I have noticed that similar discussions often come up straight away so I've started to check if the same discussion has already...

what is the ideal age for women to have children?

ladykristinn @ladykristinn (179) • Philippines 21 Jun 08

I want to know what is the ideal age to have children. My husband and I have different views about this. I am already 26 years old going to be 27 this year. My husband wants us to have children but I want to have children after 3...

Fiammetta When the time is right for you. I had both my kids in my thirties and might even have another. For me it was ideal as I loved my travel and nightlife before. I don't know if anything prepares you for the joy and shock of children in any case. Good luck

Fiammetta What a lovely meaning! What language is it in originally? My "stage name" Fiammetta means little flame. My real name also means something but I'd rather keep it anonymous as there's a price on my head!

Charity Begins With a Click of the Mouse

Sparks @sparkofinsanity (20471) • Regina, Saskatchewan 20 Jun 08

The following was sent to me this morning and I had to share with all the pet lovers here. It doesn't cost you a thing, just a click of your mouse, so I hope you will all step up to the plate and give it a go. "Hi, all you...

Discarding broken toys

holachika @holachika (176) 20 Jun 08

I was doing some housekeeping and this time I had to deal with my son's overflowing basket of toys. All of his toys - old and new, good condition or broken - are all contained in that one big basket. I tried sorting them out...

Fiammetta It's tricky. I usually put them in the attic for about 6 months and if they're not missed- they go. Sometimes we pick toys together to bring to Oxfam but the only problem with that is that my five year old usually sees a toy there that he wants. Some of the...

Do you wear lucky stone?

snakequeen @snakequeen (1299) • India 20 Jun 08

As per numerologists' version every number (1 to 9 in short) has a corresponding stone. That is, each number has a stone! Believers in numerology wear the relevant stone corresponding to their birth number or fate number and they...

Fiammetta Hi I love stones. I used to wear an amethyst around my neck as well. I got a rose stone as a favour at a wedding and carried it for a while for love I think. Years ago I was told that haemitite makes you magnetic so I wore it on a night out for fun. I think...
