Answer to:
I am tryin to loose abit of weight and wanted to know if cooking veggies in butter was fattening? or any other food for that matter? Yep, butter is fattening. Steam the veggies (not boil) and add a bit of butter afterwards. Butter has about 100 calories per tablespoon, and it takes a good bit of butter to cook something, but adding it on top of something already cooked most people tend to use less.

Answer to:
If a cake recipe calls for unsalted butter, can i just use salted butter and leave out the salt? Actually, no. The difference between unsalted and salted butter is not just the salt, the water content is different too: the salted butter contains a great deal more salt. In a recipe like cake, I wouldn't substitute it because extra water can really change the way your cake turns out.

Do you look down on people who have had an abortion? If it wasn't to save their life and the fetus wasn't viable, I think what they did was wrong. Look down? No. We all do things that are wrong and I don't think I'm 'better' than people who have abortions. I just think it is murder.

Is constant and aggressive nagging emotional abuse? It could be. Of course, whatever you're doing or not doing that needs a constant reminder may be the abuse - even if it's just neglect, or a lack of helping out and pulling your own weight, or perhaps an undesirable characteristic that you need to change that's being pointed out to you. Remember, every story has two sides.

My teacher at school is a hompohobe. He teachs in our 11th grade class that homosexuality is a mental disorder and can be cured. He also teaches that gays spread illness and damage moral values.

Be secure in your choice, be secure with who have chosen to be. What he thinks is not important to you, it is not relevant to your life, it is beneath your notice.

Why is "earmarks" such a dirty word? It is the job of congressmen to advocate for their constituents and bring prosperity/jobs to their states. Each "earmark" puts people to work. I think "lobbying" should be outlawed, not earmarks. What do you think? I think federal government has gotten way out of control. Federal goverment should be for laws and benefits that are applicable to all states, or a majority of them. Therefore, senators and representatives are not in Washington to take money from our federal government to bring back to their states like a bunch of pigs shoving each other around at a trough, but instead are supposed to be...

They really have little to nothing in common.

How do you get water bubbles out of a watch face? it is "water resistant" but I accidently washed it in my jeans pocket in the washing machine! it still works, but there are tiny bubbles on the underside of the glass! Take it to a jewelry repair stand in the mall - they can remove the face and let it dry. It might cost you a few bucks. You can do this yourself, but without the right tools you will likely hurt the face, especially if it's glass, and I don't recommend it.

I love frozen coffee but have never had coffee ice-cream. Is it the same or just disgusting?

Answer to:
CNN said that many "disaffected Hillary supporters" have switched their vote to Palin. Why would anyone who was voting for Hillary switch their vote to Palin, who is ideologically opposed? Was this switch based off of issues or JUST gender? I think a lot of democratic voters were really divided by the Obama/Hillary battle. It seems like people within the same party really strongly supported one candidate while practically despising other. So, I suspect that many people who supported Hillary will turn to the McCain/Palin vote just because they don't want to vote for Obama.

How can i spoil my wife while she is pregnant? Sex! Women love sex while pregnant. Also, buy her some bath salts so she can take nice relaxing baths. And, make sure she can get a nap - however you do it, watch the kids, or just encourage her - pregnancy is so exhausting. Also, her feet are probably killing her so give them a good rub.

But no matter how much sleep the person gets, they always feel tired. Recommendations? I recommend a visit to the doctor. It may be the sign of something serious, or it may be nothing at all. Also, include some exercise - it's very energizing. Lastly, consider that too much sleep can also lead to lethargy - try to limit sleep to 8 hours, 10 or more can just make you feel tired and yucky.

Now my partner would not have complained for me and would not have asked for a refund. Who should get the money If your partner paid for it, the refund should be theirs. Just because there was junk in your soup doesn't mean you should earn something from the event. Refunding the money was the restaurant's way of apologizing and pacifying you.

How harmful is smoking and breastfeeding? Very harmful. Unless you think slapping a nicotine patch on your baby is a good idea, stop smoking.

Does a book getting ranked a bestseller influence your decision to buy or read it? Not in the least. I usually go to a used bookstore or rummage in yardsales. I read the back, and regardless of subject matter, if it sounds interesting, I'll give it a try. If a person I know and trust suggests a book, I'll probably try that too.

Is it unreasonable to ask someone who shares your shower to clean off the soap bar of their hair after they are done? If you're sharing a shower with someone, I figure they're either a room mate, family member, or dating interest. For the first two, get your own bar of soap and ask that they do the same. Or keep yours in your room. For the last, get over it. Sharing your life without someone is beyond a few hairs on the soap bar, especially if you're already sharing various bodily fluids.

A 20-year-old physically became a 5-year-old through, lets say a hypothetical magic spell, and retains all of his academic knowledge and maturity. If he took an IQ test, would his IQ score be about 400? No. IQ tests are based upon intelligence, not knowledge. An IQ test generally tests your ability to learn and logicize rather than what one may already know or have learned. In fact, one is likely to do better as a young child than an adult, when their potential is at a peak. Here is an interesing article about the fluxuation of one's IQ over time: ...

Yes, of course he's going to get up - so pick him up, tell him that he's in time out and carry him back to the chair. You'll probably do this a hundred times until he gets it.

My boyfriend of 11 months and I just broke and I feel awful. Two days ago he was telling me he loved me and out of nowhere he wasnt too hurt that i broke up with him. I still love him, and I think he still loves me. I cant stand being without him. Help! Give it a week or two and then see how you feel - sometimes we just get really used to spending time with someone and it's hard initially to have them gone - but sometimes it's for the best. Obviously you broke up with him for a reason, so wait a while to see how your feel after the initial feelings fade and then make a decision.

Is it acceptable to run away or slip off on a date if things arent going well? I think whether or not something is acceptable is a personal opinion. For me, I don't think it's ok. Also, I think a lot of people find it to be rude. When you agree to go on a date, or invite someone on one, you're implying that you intend to go on a whole date, and skipping out early is like lying or going back on your promise. So, find another way to leave, politely and...

DOES THIS HURT TO GET MY BELLY DONE AND ANY GOOD ADVISE WOULD BE HELPFUL. Well, you're piercing a hole in your skin. It's going to hurt. That being said, piercings usually hurt only briefly and the pain fades quickly. My best advice is to have your piercing done PROFESSIONALLY, by a person whose entire job is piercing, and I don't mean at Claire's or Piercing Pagoda. You need to go to a place that only does piercings, or at least a piercing...

As long as you are up-front and honest, and you aren't breaking any laws, do whatever makes you and the people you choose to date happy.

Then, because the horse is grazing outside the barn, you need to subtract the area of the barn from the...

Judging by the number of questions about mysterious pills and such we see on Answerbag, do you often wonder what some Answerbaggers are really up to? Are you suspicious of these types of questions? No, I just can't really fathom how you could locate a pill in your own home and not know what it was, and even more I wonder why people don't just toss it.

I 'm a gay male that just turned 40. Why do guys and teens shave their body hair and why is there a shaver that is dedicated to do so? When I was in high school this was unheard of and I happen to love the hair on my lower back and like it on other guys. Everyone has different tastes, and often tastes change with time. People like to follow the crowd, so a lack of hair may be the "in" thing right now. My husband has hair on his chest, and I love it, regardless of what is cool or popular right now, and I see models on TV with no hair on their chest and laugh. But, some people may think that's really hot. Who knows why people...

If you were liquidating a relatives estate and found an item that was very valuable. Would you hold on to it for sentimental value, or sell it to make a quick buck? It depends on the relative and the item.

However, if an item has no sentimental value to me, I will sell it or throw it away because I dislike clutter.

Don't look in a book for supposed values - they are just going to be outdated numbers, and those numbers only work if you can find that magic person who's actually willing to pay that much. Put it on Ebay, where millions of people will find it, and let capitalism go to work.

Should a man put his wife first in his life if she has put him second in hers after her children from a previous relationship? I think children should be first personally. However if someone is of the mind that a spouse should be first in their life, then nothing should stand in the way of that.

2 new vcr/dvd's hooked up to my 4-year-old samsung tv did not show anything on the tv screen (setup menu or picture or sound from vhs or dvd), yet the recorders were on and functioning.

I think in a situation like you describe, the debt was created illegally, so the person whose name it was taken out in shouldn't be held responsible. It would be identity theft - even though the victim knew the person taking out the debt illegally. My feelings would probably range from righteous rage to rage and then to more rage.

Do you like your in-laws, do you not care for them, or do you just put up with them? None of the above. I try to pretend they don't exist and am polite only when they somehow manage to contact me. I have blocked them from my email and I changed my phone number without warning and have so far successfully prevented them from obtaining the number.
