A tomato a day...is this true?

artsyfartsygypsy @artsyfartsygypsy (755) • Canada 12 Jun 11

Someone at work the other day made a comment to me about nutrition and said that he had gone to see one just the week before to get a diet and health plan sorted out. Well his doctor told him that if he ate a tomato (regular size...

thyst07 Tomatoes are really healthy and I don't think that eating one daily would be harmful (unless your stomach is really acid-sensitive). On the other hand, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Eating a tomato daily would certainly have some benefits but there...

What ingredients do you usually add when cooking spaghetti?

Porkchopchop @Porkchopchop (324) • Hong Kong 6 Jun 11

Recently I am engaging in a quarrel with my mother and we still have not reconcile. Now I have to prepare meals for myself everyday and I start to running out of ideas. I am curious that what ingredients do you usually use to cook...

thyst07 I like a number of vegetables and meats with spaghetti. Zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, spinach, or cherry tomatoes are all good tossed with spaghetti, and ground beef or sausage are good meat additions. Or with a cream sauce you could add chicken. Another...

Do you donate your unwanted clothes?

AmourHelen @AmourHelen (136) • United States 6 Jun 11

Growing up, I've always donate my unwanted clothes to Goodwill, Savers, Salvation Army, etc. Now that I'm grown up, I'm having a hard time to even throw away my clothes. It's like I want to hold onto every single piece in my...

thyst07 I have a tendency to not get rid of my clothing for long stretches of time, and then suddenly one day I'll get fed up with my closet and just start tossing things into a bag to take to the local thrift store. But still, I wear most of my clothes out before I'm...

My mother has no manners

tessa9 @tessa9 (1085) • Philippines 4 Jun 11

I love my mother first of all but sometimes it gets really annoying. I find it hard to bring her to parties because of what she does. She does not act like a lady. She does not cross her legs or at least close them when she is...

thyst07 I suppose it depends on the circumstances to a degree. If the parties are just casual social gatherings, I don't think it's a huge problem. Sure, it's irritating and not very classy for your mother to behave that way, but if that's who she is then there...

Is it worth being a busker?

gebbesse @gebbesse (66) • Canada 4 Jun 11

If you have ever busked? Is Busking really worth it in the end? What if I am traveling, Canada? I am starting to learn how to play an acoustic flamenco guitar and live in British Columbia. I am contemplating buying a busking...

thyst07 Whether or not busking is worth it depends on where you go, what kinds of performance you do, and what kinds of audiences you play to. In some places, busking is outright illegal. In other places, you have to have a license or permit, and sometimes the cost...

thyst07 I have moved a lot of times, so I definitely understand how stressful moving can be. The packing part is so hard, because it usually involves sorting through tons of stuff that hasn't been organized in a long time. Here are some things I've learned: 1. Start...

45 Dollar Guitar? What?! How did they cut costs?

diamania @diamania (7011) • Netherlands 27 Dec 10

I saw a guitar retailed at 45 dollars. How's that possible? How do you think they cut costs? :O

thyst07 They achieve the low price by using poor-quality materials. The wood is usually imported from places that use clear-cutting and other unsound forestry practices, and the quality of the wood is substandard. The parts and fittings on the instrument are often...

How Important is college really?

dude31 @dude31 (30) • United States 26 Dec 10

The majority of people in the world don't go to college. They find other jobs and just work there. I think college is a great life experience and also to extend your knowledge. But college doesn't help you get a better job. Its...

thyst07 I think it depends a lot on where you live. Different countries, or even different cities within the same country, have varying job sectors that require different levels of education. I think that in most of the United States, college degrees are becoming a...

Would You Tell Someone You Just Didn't Like Their Food?

jujunme @jujunme (2501) • United States 26 Dec 10

thyst07 It depends on the situation. If I'm at the home of a close friend or family member, I might be more comfortable with being completely honest- especially if they've asked me for feedback. I probably wouldn't just say "this is terrible." Instead, I might say...

thyst07 I cooked a turkey the other day- not for the holiday, but just because I had one in my freezer. Aside from just eating the leftover meat right out of the refrigerator, I've also made turkey salad sandwiches and a turkey pot pie. There's still quite a bit of...

thyst07 I think that probably the best way to decline your friend's request without ruining your friendship is to tell her that you don't want her to work for you because you don't want to ruin your friendship. You don't have to elaborate on her less-attractive...

thyst07 I typically bathe once every other day. I might take an extra bath if I have a special occasion, or if I do something that gets me dirtier than usual. Otherwise, I think it's quite wasteful of water to bathe if I don't really need it. My skin and hair also...
