How to Clean a Coin
If you are going to do it, you might as well do it right:
Handle the coin by the edges to leave no fingerprints. (Not because you stole it, but because fingerprints transfer caustic oils from your fingers to the coin.)
Avoid abrasives. Commercial coin polish, however, can be used if the coin is not valuable. Toothpaste may also work.

No, because many people use a lot of butter or deep fat frying. And at home, there is generally more than enough for seconds, and maybe thirds.
If you cook healthy meals and limit portions, then yes. But I don't think the vast majority of people cook that way. At best they used boxed and canned foods.

These days I'm busy doing other things I enjoy. Answerbag doesn't hold the same fascination anymore. So no, it isn't the first site I visit when online.

Why does it get dark?
The answer to this seemingly simple question may boggle your brain. It's actually a famous cosmological problem, formally known as Olbers' Paradox. (Heinrich Olbers was a German astronomer who popularized discussion of this subject in 1826.) You might think that the question can be explained away by the effect of distance -- not so. To fully understand the perplexity, picture stars of...

Rapidly blinking eyes. Do you think they really a sign that someone is lying?
I found this to be interesting.
Blinking
Blinking is a neat natural process whereby the eyelids wipe the eyes clean, much as a windscreen wiper on a car.
Blink rate tends to increase when people are thinking more. This can be an indication of lying as the liar has to keep thinking about what they are saying. Realizing this, they may also force their eyes open and appear to stare.

Do you think that it is possible to trust someone who has had problems w drug abuse in the past and is making an effort to change now? Is Change possible?
While addictions and abuse can lead to untrustworthy actions, some people are untrustworthy regardless of the abuse.
I believe change is always possible. But simply eliminating the drugs may not eliminate the untrustworthiness.
I wouldn't shut that person out of my life, but I might have trouble trusting them. In time though, trust can be rebuilt.

How long can you realisticaly 'hide' a pregancy from your in-laws? I basicaly am going to start by, not telling them. do you think, if I plan well enough, I could hide it up until the end of the pregnancy. PS: I'm keeping the baby.... only husbandknows.
You may not be able to hide it. Some woman get quite large.
Your last comment leads me to think that your in-laws may want you to have an abortion.
This sounds like a really complicated situation you are in.
All I can really say to you is, try to enjoy your pregnancy. Stress isn't good for the baby or you.

I'm guessing that you either have a gourami or a betta fish. It's most likely building a bubble nest. That doesn't necessarily mean you will have babies, but it's their nature to do this.
Additionally, your circulation must be very minimal if the bubbles are surviving. If that's your goal, then fine. If not, increase your tank circulation.

Answer to:
As one experiences new things, one becomes (or should) more understanding, less judgmental and more accepting. Have you found that to be true for you?
Overall I would say this is completely true for me. Only a small portion of experiences have caused me to be less tolerant. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Many of the negative experiences have opened my eyes and in some circumstances have caused me to become rigid, usually in the name of self preservation.

Under what circumstances will you let a friend go?
I think lying is the main issue for me. I can handle a lot of circumstances and actions from my friends, but when they start spinning tales or telling lies, that's pretty much the end of the road for me. That basically tells me they don't value the friendship and it's OK to lie to a good friend. There's always exceptions though, so I don't hold strictly to this rule.

That's not unusual. Clown fish are considered playful upper strata swimmers in the home aquarium. If you add anemones, they will hide and play in them.

Sometimes that's on the top of the powerhead near the surface of the water! LOL

You can. It would be better if you had a friend come in to feed though. When salt water condensates, it tends to leach out through cracks or open spaces in the tank top assembly. It leaves behind a crusty salt residue. That could clog the feeder.
Additionally, if you have any anemones, they will need to be fed, by hand, at least a couple of times per week. I like to feed them thawed...

Some scientists venture the guess that there are at least 3,000,000 different kinds of animals living on earth. And if the tiny microscopic kinds are to be taken into account, there is no telling how many millions actually exist. Parasitic animals are very abundant, and there is practically no animal on earth that is not infested...

Hi Da ben dan. I didn't realize your tank was 35 gallons. That's a bit small for a beginner reef tank.

There's not enough information here to know exactly what happened, but it does sound ammonia related. If this is a new tank and you overstocked it before the initial 30 day run in cycle, this can happen. If it's an established aquarium, somehow you have lost a large, if not all, portion of your biological filter colonies.
Either way, you will have to keep doing water changes every...

Do you have decorations in your tank? If you don't, you'll need to get some. If you do and they only reach to about 2/3 the height of your tank, that's most likely the problem. Goldfish do spent a lot of time digging around in the gravel foraging for food. Usually all you have to do is add some decorations that reach to the top of your water surface.

What you may have is Ichthyophthirius multifilis, commonly called Ich or White Spot. It's a parasite about the size of a grain of salt. It usually appears first on the body and fins, but can quickly move to the gills causing labored breathing, listlessness, and eventually death. It's highly contagious and can devastate a tank if not treated quickly.

A 75 would be better if you have the room. The length and height are the same, but the width is 18", instead of 13", in a standard stock tank.
Depending on how large your fish are, a 55 may work well for a while, but eventually, they will outgrow this tank. And in time, they will most likely outgrow a 75 gallon aquarium also. After that, it's time to start looking for a 110...

Goldfish are messy fish, but they are worth the trouble if you have enough room to house them. Goldfish require more space than community fish. For common goldfish or comets, a 55 gallon is optimum (it will hold about 2 or 3 fully grown fish). For smaller varieties, a 30 gallon for 2 or 3 will suffice. It's better to plan big when considering goldfish.

The Plecostomus is best kept at pH levels near neutral. It's very possible that the addition of this coral rock has affected the carbonate and pH levels in your aquarium, thereby stressing the fish and causing it's death.

It depends on the food. Some off brands are just fine while others stink. I prefer Hellman's mayonnaise, Heinz ketchup, Grands biscuits and crescent rolls, etc.
Staples such as sugar, salt, flour, pepper, and most spices are usually fine when it comes to generic brands.

This isn't a question. I understand you are looking for feedback, so I think you should know that someone will flag this question and it will be rejected.
I hate telling you that, but if you want opinions, you should rephrase your question.

I would have more, but there are several I have denied. People I don't know who on the same day they joined requested. I think they just went down the leaderboard and hit request on everyone.
If I haven't had some contact with you, I most likely...

Has anyone ever heard of vocal cord surgery on dogs? Does it work and do you consider it humane? I'm torn because our beagle is a bother to the neighbors but we really like her and don't want to get rid of her!
Yes I've heard of it. It should only be used as a last resort. Training should be done first. Often times a dog can be trained by a professional.
Bark collars are also available. They emit an electrical shock to the neck of the dog when they bark. It generally is mild on the first offensive and gets stronger if they repeat the barking.
Although I don't like them, I used one on...

In 1940 Bud Abbott and Lou Costello filmed their first motion picture, "One Night in the Tropics."

In this movie, they introduced several of their signature routines,...

Is it legal for people to be in a rental aggrment for a year landlord and tenate and the landlord goes up on the rent twice in one year, when it was a year lease for a set amount, is that legal that happend to my cusin?
No it's not legal to raise the rent if a legitimate signed lease agreement stating that the rental payment is fixed for the one year term.
This can be appealed, but it could be costly and take time. Generally speaking, renters don't have the money or time to appeal so they move on.

Sugar
Alcohol
UV rays
Free Radicals
Unfortunately, nearly 80% of the damage we see in our skin later in life has occurred before the age of 10 years old. Mainly it's due to exposure to the sun without sunscreen.
