How do you "season" a castiron skillet?
After washing the cast-iron skillet (*yes, with soap and water) let it air dry. Once dry place on a burner and heat to medium. When the whole skillet bottom is heated, rub with vegetable oil or shortening using a paper towel. Remove from burner and let sit til next time. I have always done this and do not have any rust.

What usually happens to an American student later in life who never went to prom in high school?
Absolutely nothing! There is no problem in life like choosing whether or not to go to the prom and who to take (or so it seems at the time). But, whatever your decision, it does not affect the rest of your life anymore than you let it.
If you want to go: go. If you don't then don't.

How can I stop my dog from going on my bed?
Lay a plastic sheet or garbage bag on top of your bed. Spray this everyday with ammonia (animals hate the smell) and you're dog will soon learn not to get on the bed. Good luck hon, and thanks for trying alternatives to crating. Also check out: petpeoplesplace.com for great answers on pet problems.

How do you get water out of an ear?
I know what you mean, this happened to me almost everytime we went swimming. Tilt your ear up and pour in a cap of hydrogen peroxide. Let sit for a few minutes while rubbing the outside of your ear. This should take care of the problem. Good luck.

Answer to:
How do you get rid of a cyst? Does it require medical treatment?
Get two small pieces of white cotton cloth. Dampen one in vinegar, place on boil or cyst or acne. This may burn if it is an open sore. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. With the other small cloth, dampen with very warm water. Alternate between using both cloths until problem is gone. This will typically bring the offending infection to the surface within a matter of a few days and can be used...

Answer to:
I have really bad dandruff. No matter how much I wash my hair, it keeps coming back, even immediately after my hair dries. What can I do about it?
Another thing (in addition to the other answer) that you can do is this. After shampooing your hair rinse it with a solution of 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Not only will your scalp become healthier, but your hair will have that healthy shine. My son used to have dandruff and I told him to do this-now, no dandruff and beautiful hair. Also, don't wash your hair every day; this just...

Answer to:
What are the typical signs of hair loss?
Keep a close eye on your hair brush or comb. How often do you have to clean the hair from it? How much hair is on it when you have finished brushing/combing? This is the best clue about hair loss since the loose hairs are picked up by your brush or comb. If you are experiencing significant hair loss (cleaning your brush or comb more than once a week), the next time you go to the doctor...

Answer to:
My teenage son has recently been wetting the bed. If I take him to the doctor what will he/she likely do to help?
As well as being a sign of sexual abuse, sudden bed-wetting by a teenager can be a strong sign of emotional problems.
Has anything happened in the family which would cause a large amount of stress to be felt by the teenager? Keep in mind that children and teens are more susceptible to everyday stresses than adults are and they haven't learned how to deal with them yet.

Is there any way to condition the bladder to be able to hold more? What is the best way to reduce trips to the bathroom?
There is a "bladder retraining exercise" that a specialist put me on as my bladder is the size of a small childs.
Basically you are on a timetable and attempt to use the restroom every 15 minutes (except when sleeping) whether you feel like you need to go or not. Do this for 2 weeks or until you feel that you are making progress towards holding your urine. Once you can wait 15...

Answer to:
Is there anything I can do to keep mild scoliosis from getting worse?
Unfortunately, no. If the doctor wants you to wear a back brace (such as the Milwaukee) then wear it religiously day & night as directed. This will help to keep your curvature from worsening somewhat. Chiropractic care can help as well with the imbalance of the pelvis bones if your curve affects them. If the curve gets too bad-or is pressing inward on your heart/lungs-then ask your...

Why do self-tanning lotions turn fair skin orange? Are there any that don't do this?
Yes as a matter of fact there is one product which does not turn my skin orange. It is new and is called "Jergens Natural Glow", I found it at Walmart. You have to apply the lotion and wait for it to dry before dressing, but that's the only downside I have found to it. For some reason it does not turn skin orange, only a natural looking healthy tannish/brown color. The bottle...
Answer to:
I am 65, and whenever I hit my arm it on something, an unsightly red mark appears that looks like blood under the skin, and it remains for about 2 weeks. What causes this?
Most of the time this is caused by persons taking blood-thinners such as aspirin on a regular basis. There is nothing to worry about as long as your doctor knows this is happening. Your doctor may decide to decrease the amount of blood thinners you are taking in order to alleviate the problem. Another cause is that as we age our skin becomes very thin making it easy to have a "blood...

My periods last 5 days, but this time it has been more than a week. Could this be a symptom of something I should see my doctor about?
Depending upon your age this could be the starting sign of permenopause-the 6 or so years leading up to the actual start of menopause. Keep track of your periods on a small desktop calendar and take that with you to your doctor appointments. Over a year's time you can see if the changes are only once in a while (sometimes due to stress or physical activity) or if they are constant...

What should one look for when choosing a nursing home?
I agree with the answer stated previously and want to emphasize that you should definitely talk to family members of residents as well as any residents who are mentally stable. If you decide to put a family member in a nursing home, don't become routine when visiting them! Go at different times of the day and different days of the week, go straight to the resident's room to check on...

Most rabbits rest and sleep in a shallow hole called a form. Shrubs, weeds, grasses, or leaves hide the bowl-shaped form from sight. Some rabbits use forms throughout the year. Others, especially those that live in the northern United...

Answer to:
Is it true that the father does not legally have to pay child support if there is no court order?
In all states that I know of, yes it is true that no parent has to pay child support unless ordered to do so under court of law. However this also means that if no visitation has been ordered by the court it does not have to be given. Therefore if he won't pay child support until ordered by a court, he doesn't have to see his children until you are ordered by a court.

My female spayed rabbit has lost the hair on her ears, I have a male neutered rabbit but his ears are fine. Why would this be?
Take your rabbit to the vet and have her ears checked for ear mites, it sounds like she has scratched the hair off trying to alleviate the pain caused by the mites. If she has mites you can buy ear mite medicine and put drops in her ears daily until she stops. Your vet can explain further. If you can't afford to take her to a vet then go to walmart and buy ear mite medicine, put no...
