Even the healthiest people can die from the flu, and we have no good antivirals (that your doctor will let you get anywhere near), so prevention with a flu shot is the best policy. People going without a flu shot are fooling themselves, unless they're just too poor...

It is a sin to pray in public where everyone can see you pray. Inside a church with a lot of other people would be a gray area.

How can we prevent this?<br /><br />The process is called "Medicaid Recovery." Question#1: Yes and no. If she dies before the age of 55, nothing is taken. If the family homestead is the house in question, the Florida Constitution prevents it from being taken. If there is a surviving spouse, or a child under the age of 21,...

Witches generally believe in a Deity of some sort, usually a dualistic Deity with a Feminine and a Masculine presence, and usually the Feminine presence is the more powerful of the two (the Masculine presence tends to die in the fall and...

The resulting low-pressure surrounding you will cause wind to blow in your direction. Then just wait for a woman in a windsuit to float in your direction (ignore the men in windsuits, of course).

Any tips?<br /><br />Splenda is sweeter than sugar, but the bags which say "measures cup for cup like sugar" have already taken care of "diluting" the sucralose (the generic term for "Splenda") with a substance called "maltodextrin", a substance which is neutral in flavor. TRIVIA: Maltodextrin is also used by...

Isn't Splenda sugar?<br /><br />Splenda is made from sugar, but while it fools the tongue it does not act like sugar in the body. While it does use a few chlorine atoms in its molecule chains (replacing the carbon atoms and thus making it not break down like sugar in your body), Splenda does not dechlorinate so the chlorine...

I want to lose weight and want to cut out sugar from my diet but not sure if eating foods/drinks with Splenda is worse because I read that Splenda can also make you gain weight.<br /><br />Splenda can make you fat, but in a very strange way somewhat unrelated to Splenda, as this can occur with any artificial sweetener (including, sad to say, Stevia). It has to do with the body's natural system of regulating your eating habits. Essentially, your body gets trained into expecting a...

Is it anything or any sweet snacks that people with diabetes can eat without having High or Low Blood Sugars after eating it? I'm not talking about or looking for the Low Sugar candy or candies that are sold in stores either.<br /><br />Because nearly all foods contain some level of sugar which will cause problems for diabetics, fruit is a better choice than prepackaged snacks because fruits contain the vitamins and minerals necessary in a healthy diet. The fiber in fruits is important to maintaining healthy blood sugar...

In the U.K., ginger beer is prevalent all over the country, as flavoring beer with ginger was a common practice in England. Its worth noting that "ginger ale" derives its name from a type of amber-colored beer known as ale (darker beers are...

My local homebrewer shop recommends chilling the bottles after the 48 hour carbonation period, which will cause the yeast particles to slow growing and descend to clump at the bottom of the bottle. Then just carefully pour our the ginger...

They might also have an attack of "Robin Hood Mentality." Of course , quite a lot of people who say they're homeless are actually not...

Why not entire cans?<br /><br />While Ronald McDonald House Charities did once collect pull tabs for charity, they don't specifically collect aluminum pull tabs for charity anymore and haven't done so since 2004. Back in 1987, when there were quite a lot of urban legends zipping around about "save pull tabs for charity", but...

He remains energetic.<br /><br />I think the fact that he is still "energetic" is enough information to conclude that he is not dying quickly (all of us, including you, are dying slowly). People at death's door tend not to move around much.

Vampires suck in so many ways.

Video RAM consists of chips on your video card which are used only for video, while Physical RAM is in sticks on your motherboard which is used for a lot of things, though not for actually displaying video when...

Furthermore, your thoughts on Matt Smith and the head writer switch?<br /><br />I've seen a couple previews and all I can say is that Doctor Who seems to be doing what so many shows do these days: switching fanbases from the original core to "fresh young faces", which is not always a good move and can alienate (literally in this case) the core fanbase. The Doctor has been...

The problem is due to water displacement. A diver diving off a 30 foot diving board presents a very small surface area striking the water when he goes vertical and places his hands together. The same diver would get a very hard... Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:31:54 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8636425 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8636377 How and why do animal lovers eat meat? Is this not contradictory?<br /><br />Respect of animals comes in two forms among the people of this planet. There are the vegetarians or vegans, who choose to respect animals by refusing to kill living, breathing creatures simply to give themselves a "sweet treat" which, like all other desserts, is completely unnecessary for a...

The man carries no health risks whatsoever from the woman's...

My fake-meat chili fakes out most meat eaters, and one of my co-workers...

After all.. poor people finally got the loans they always wanted.<br /><br />Poor people did not get "the loans they always wanted", because sub-prime loans did not give poor people homes, they took their homes away. Liberals were not to blame for the actions of conservatives, despite the best efforts of conservatives to try and whine otherwise. From 2001 to 2006,...

Don't beware medications in general, as a properly prescribed and monitored medication may just be the thing to boost your libido. A medication which causes another...

What the heck am I supposed to do?She's in denial!<br /><br />Your mental health needs to come first. If you don't blame your mom for your depression, then chances are the therapist won't blame your mom either. Your subconscious mind might have a different opinion, but your conscious mind may be gradually tweaked into changing your subconscious mind as...

I started crying when i came home and i don't know why. I'm sad all the time. Am i depressed?<br /><br />Given your additional comment, you may have a few problems making a regular therapy session happen. While living with your mom sounds like something you wouldn't want to happen, it may be the "necessary evil" to set you on the road to mental health recovery. However, if you mention to the...

Because my parents seem to think so, and they're forcing me to drink coffee. Also, what can I put in it besides milk and sugar to make it not gross? I HATE coffee. I it really an "aquired taste?"<br /><br />Coffee does contain some rather effective anti-oxidants (making it somewhat healthy), but the caffeine in coffee probably creates the impression of "curing depression" through the increase in energy through the stimulant effect of caffeine. As with all stimulants, the stimulant effect not only...

A clinic local to me goes all the way down to $6 for an hour-long talk therapy session...

Poor people bought cans of pet food and cooked and ate it like hamburger. There may be some truth to the claim even in modern times, at least in terms of relative cost between human and pet...

And if so, what is this condition called? Just simply, Hyperactive?<br /><br />One symptom of ADHD (and ADD for that matter) is hyperfocusing, which would appear to be hyperactivity without attention deficit because the person in question is paying excessive attention to one thing.

Fortunately, there's a solution: buy a 64-bit computer (yes, they are also "today's computers"). Trillions of years from now, 64-bit computers will "run out of...

The removal of the "downrate" option is a significant part of the dislike I have for the new AB, as there are answers which do not...

Do you think keeping a pet in the garage is ok or should i find a home for her?<br /><br />Most people are not allergic to "cats", but to their "dander" or spit. A cat grooms himself or herself several times a day, leaving cat spit on their fur. This causes the fur to cause an allergic reaction in human beings who are allergic to the cat dander. A pet store clerk can sell you a...

Fairness is a human concept and not reflected in nature. This is why it is more important to track down and subject people who do harm to others to the judicial system, than to sit at home and do nothing (i.e., "pray").

What does that tell you?<br /><br />That legislators don't consider fetuses to be persons. Being a person is not solely defined by what is murder and what is not murder, and legislators not only don't bother giving fetuses all the rights of persons, they permit abortions in every single "feticide" law.

The people performing the action on you are generally considered to be the sinners.

Even marijuana has a long-term side effect of limiting short-term memory, and taking something else to improve memory while using "medical marijuana" is a good idea. Just...

February, with only 28 or 29 days, is thus the only month of the year which can miss a full moon entirely. The next four Februarys which will be without a full moon are in 2018, 2037, 2067, and 2094.

If you texted a capricorn guy and asked if he liked you or am i wasting my time and he doesnt reply?<br /><br />Capricorns are sincere, responsible, and reliable. A text message may have been perceived by the Capricorn as inadequate to the task of describing how he felt about you, meaning he has some strong emotions about you.

What can pisces women do to attract leo men xx<br /><br />A Leo will love the compassion, sensitivity, composure and flexibility of a Pisces, who loves the strength and power that the Leo exudes. You&#039;ve got a lot of opposite qualities to work around in this type of relationship, but oddly enough the combination, provided you manage to make the...

We broke up because he moved home to be nearer to/finish college. He's much younger than me. He says he still loves me and liked what we had. Not interested in other women.<br /><br />Can you move to be closer to him? He clearly wants a close relationship with someone he can see in person on a regular basis. If you can&#039;t move to be near him, then you may have to consider this relationship completely over and move on.

Capricorns are loyal, responsible, hard-working, and sincere, and it takes a lot to faze a Capricorn. Capricorns are a little stubborn when they have made up their minds (their strong willpower has this bad side effect),...

I am an aries girl<br /><br />Given that you have that hot Aries temper, while the Aquarius has the even temper to put up with your hot temper, you were most likely the one who broke up the relationship in the first place. And since it takes a lot to get the easy-going Aquarius riled up enough to leave, you may not be able...

If for example there&#039;s some amount of herbalism going on, then the person self-medicating may have done some research into the matter. You may want to ask about the research.

How is it that there are finds or people from about 250 thousand years ago and dinausors?<br /><br />The Young Earth Creationists&#039; case rests on their belief that God Lies To Human Beings.

This is quite common in rape victims, male and female, to have a physical pleasure reaction to the rape even though the victim did not want the rape to happen in the first...

Religion isn&#039;t actuall a living thing, so it will never undergo a process of evolution. Change, on the other hand, can happen to anything, and religion may well change to become more supportive of the people in the world (than it currently is).

And what makes 'em do it?<br /><br />Most atheists grew up in households where such things were said. What&#039;s learned in childhood tends to stick around with you until you die.
