The result is that my child does not scream or has rarely done so. Children are what we make them...

Air travel is a major consumer of world limited fuel supplies and creates very high levels of damaging pollution. Some people therefore believe that its use should be severely restricted. Do you agree? I disagree. I think the answer lies in alternative fuels like hydrogen for average consumers and more wind and solar power for the average consumer. If we are not swamping the planet with the pollution of millions of cars and power plants then the air travel immediately becomes less of an issue. I think carbon offsets are a great idea too.

How can I get rid of a pimple quickly without cream for it? Aspirin is the accepted standby. Aspirin contain salycylic acid, the main anti-bacterial ingredient in most acne remedies.

What does it mean when a zit/pimple [i'm not quite sure what it is, but it's one of the two] turns yellowish and how do you get rid of it [fast] without having to buy anything?

It will leave on its own.

Old School Willy Wonka with Gene Wilder or New School with Johnny Depp? Myself I just saw the original and it's just so much better. I was impressed all over again with how Wilder really rode the line between charming and downright scary. The film is beautifully cast. The sets and effects were magical without being overwhelming and even the music was cool. A better film than Burton's. Sorry Johnny.

I was in a 4 year relationship and we broke up because I cheated on the guy. Now, I am in a relationship for just a little over a year and I am affraid that i might do it again. There comes a time in a relationship when I just crave a new partern in bed. Are you asking for help? Because if you are then that's a good sign. The question you need to ask yourself is whether you want this pattern of destructive behavior to end and for you to develop a more reasoned approach to your relationships, ie have meaningful and healthy ones. Don't take this the wrong way but you could have a personality disorder that just might be making you do...

My ex-husband spent years in prison for sexually abusing my children. I know it's beneficial for me to forgive him, but how do I go about doing this? Everytime I think of him I want him to suffer as they did. I think it may be best to take some time with a therapist to work through your own feelings about what happened. I think it may be premature to forgive him when what you really may require is the ability to forgive yourself for your own role in the situation. It is vital that you talk this out and maybe find some support with a group of people who have been through similar circumstances.

As I understand it, the new way of CPR training eliminates the breathing step. Only continuous compressions. Anyone have any teachings or experience with the new method? What do you think about no breathing? I was reading about it yesterday. Apparently it will work best on adults who have some residual oxygen in their bloodstreams. If the person was a victim of asphyxiation like drowning or carbon monoxide poisoning or if they are a child with smaller blood volume then they will have no oxygen reserves and will require breathing and compression too. Something to keep in mind.

Well they are wild animals and they need to run. A lot. They are not meant for pets. If you really love animals you can help save their habitat. Make charitable donations to foundations that support them or get involved in research in the field tracking them. Maybe visiting Yellowstone and seeing some on a safari might be a good way to enjoy them from a distance.

In light of similar feelings from my hub I started to wear more subtle make-up that tries to play up my skin. I wear a light primer that adds a subtle glow, some natural looking blush and a lip stain now and he thinks that's just how I look. The fool!

So I have my nipples pierced, and dont always want them to show through a bathing suit. Does anyone have a better strategy, other than bandaids, for hiding the outlines of the jewelery? You should be able to get some gel pads either online or where bras and bra accessories are sold. These fit inside the cup and should hide your metallic bits.

If you feel lazy, a veggie burger under the egg can work too instead of the spinach. I like Morningstar Farms Tomato Basil Pizza burgers.

My two year old niece has more fun plying with an empty box than with the toy that came in it, so why not just give young kids boxes for Christmas? Because adults buy toys for kids based on what they themselves would want or remember wanting. Now, freed by that information, enjoy shopping for things that come in cardboard boxes. Just in case.

Do you think that humans today are still evolving and what are your reasons for thinking that? I read recently that lactose tolerence (ie the ability to consume dairy products after infancy) was a recent adaptation, (last 3,000 years) and is traceable to European countries reliant upon dairy as a food source. So the answer is a resounding "YES!". Link is to NYTimes which you must register to read (free). ...

Does the fundamentalist religious lobby of your government worry you? The Christian Fundamentalists have unfettered access to the Whitehous and Islamists hold large sway in many middle east countries including Iran Yes. They worry me. It seems much of Whitehouse policy comes from literalist biblical interpretation. It has not served us well as a nation. In a sense I feel that Karl Rove and Dick Cheney went for world domination by embracing these crazies as their base and there's no going back from that. They have ruined their party with it.
