Do you agree that if more people cooked meals from scratch there would be less obesity? 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. To cook really fresh at home can actually be quite expensive.

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.

Thank you for your comment. 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.

My new 50gal tank has 3 clowns and they all seem to be hovering and swiming only at the top. Will they ever travel down to see the rest of the tank? That's not unusual.

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

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.

I just read that Britny Spears spends her entire monthly income each month, $737,000! If you could spend that kind of money each month, what would you spend it on? WOW! Is that a true figure? I'm not sure what I would do with all of it. I would definitely make sure my family and friends were taken care of. Charities would definitely be my second expenditure. After that, I don't know. I would imagine I would spend it on traveling. That's such an enormous amount of monthly allowance.

Do you ever consider the other side? Be honest. I'm a little confused by the first part of the question. The last part however, I can honestly say that I do realize that there are two sides, and maybe more, to any story. I think we all have taken sides from time to time.

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...

Have just bought 2 goldfish , they have a tank with a filter and oxygenator i treated the water and waited a week before buying the fish my problem is that the fish only swim in the bottom 2 thirds of the tank they never come to the top not even to feed, 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.

It's highly contagious and can devastate a tank if not treated quickly. The common treatment for...

Is a 55g tank enough living space for two clown loaches and an oscar fish? 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...

Is a goldfish easier to take care of or a guppy? 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.

My 5 year old sucker fish died after i put a coral rock in my tank but the oscar is still fine,then i purchased another sucker fish and it died in less than 12 hours is it the coral or just bad luck? 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. Boiling coral decorations or shells won't help. The process of deterioration will still continue. Remove the coral, do a 30% partial water change, and...

There should be a good current throughout the tank without forcing the fish to swim constantly through a strong current. Power heads can supplement the current or re-direct dead spots in the aquarium. Using this rule of thumb, your 150 gallon aquarium should be equipped to turn 900 to 1800 gallons of...

What is the best way of eating eggs? Preferably with the shell off. LOL After that it doesn't really matter to me. I love eggs in egg salad, deviled eggs, scrambled, fried, diced in a salad, in giblet gravy, baked in a quiche, and just about any way you can think of. But I think a large majority of people like them deviled.

Would you rather have a root canal or have the tooth removed? A root canal. I had my first one earlier this year, or maybe late last year. I don't remember. But it wasn't as bad as people had told me. It wasn't bad at all in fact. I've also had all my wisdom teeth pulled and I had to have a few extra teeth pulled when I got my braces years ago. It was painful and I had dry socket a couple of times.

I don't know why, I just do.

I don't like the yams with marshmallows all over the top.

I am setting up an aquarium and would like to know if I can use sand at the bottom instead of gravel? That depends on how deep you intend to make the sand and what type of filtration system you have. Sand packs more easily than gravel and can cause pockets of methane and Co2 gases that are harmful to your fish. TexBlast #2 is a blasing sand that is natural and inexpensive. The pellets of sand are small and provide lots of surface area to grow the needed bacterias to support your aquarium...

While the papparazi played a role in Princess Di's death, I believe it was a tragic accident. There was no conspiracy at work there, just poor medical response time.

I've also caught so called friends in the act of stealing from me and have had heated altercations followed by forcing them to leave my home. (not physically) Again,...

What age do you think it is suitable for a kid to own a cellphone? I don't think there is a blanket answer for this question. If you can teach your child that the phone is not a toy but rather a means of communication, not simply conversation, then that's a good start. Some children have no need for a cell phone while others may. Children who are active in many after hours school activities such as sports may need to communicate when practice...

Why do I feel like fainting after the nurse takes my blood with a needle? I have this same problem. I was told that I am hyperventilating.

Do you sometimes wish the neighbor's dog would get laryngitis? What about your own dog? Yes I do. And I further wish they wouldn't allow them to run free.

I don't allow my dogs to run around digging in other peoples yards, bark and chase them, and potty...

Would you be upset if your favorite local eating establishment was suddenly closed by the health department because of to many infractions? It has happened to me. There was a pizzeria called "My Pie". I loved their deep dish pizzas. I particularly loved their 3 cheese pizza. They were very similar to "Uno's Pizzeria".

Of course, I could wear a full mask and no one would know my real age. LOL As long as they are respectful to the younger children out there, I have no problem with it whatsoever. Be a kid as long as you can. In fact last night, we...
