You don&#039;t get the rush, and the process used to remove the caffeine usually involves benzine (carcinogen) or other nasty things. You might as well drink roasted chicory or Postum, if you can get it. Mon, 18 May 2009 11:31:58 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6530973 Answer to Were you able to lose weight by exercising, but eating whatever you wanted? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6434516 Were you able to lose weight by exercising, but eating whatever you wanted?<br /><br />I think that there&#039;s a concept called &quot;Bulking Up&quot; that you reach by eating lots of cals and exercising a LOT! Since muscle weighs more than fat, you probably wouldn&#039;t lose that much. Post us a picture when you get to THIS level: Thu, 07 May 2009 20:35:53 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6434516 Answer to Can you get a tan by long exposure to the computer rays, since they're radiation I think you can, but I'm not sure...? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6402598 Can you get a tan by long exposure to the computer rays, since they're radiation I think you can, but I'm not sure...?<br /><br />Wrong wavelength. You need energy in the Ultraviolet range to get tanned. Some photo studio floodlamps emit that type of light, and of course, sunlamps. Used to be, early video tubes could generate a nice bit of X-ray exposure. Not so, today.

Do you believe that it is in desperate need of repair or should it stay exactly how it is? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6402556 What are your opinions about the American legal system. Do you believe that it is in desperate need of repair or should it stay exactly how it is?<br /><br />To my mind, it&#039;s doing better than most other systems--although you can&#039;t beat Absolute Dictatorial Power for the rush it gives you! I would like to see judges go through Civil Service Exams and Merit Selection, rather than have them campaign in elections for their jobs. Mon, 04 May 2009 15:22:47 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6402556 Answer to Why do christians rave on about how you are either a slave of christ or a slave of sin? Why can't they just accept the option of freedom, not slaves of anything? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6402489 Why do christians rave on about how you are either a slave of christ or a slave of sin? Why can't they just accept the option of freedom, not slaves of anything?<br /><br />Sounds similar to teachings of other faiths. In Judaism, there&#039;s the concept of Good and Evil, and the human&#039;s free-will ability to choose. (Sin crouches at the door, but you can overcome it). Zoroastrians (the Magi,dating back to the early C.E.) had two gods, one of Light (Ahura...

I have a chance to move there and I've never even heard of it? 11 year old son, and me, a single mom?<br /><br />I was visiting there about 10 years ago. It&#039;s a pretty area, mostly beach, with lots of expensive homes owned by celebrities (there was a boat tour). Population under 40,000, with not much industry (baseball training camps and restaurants), and unless you&#039;ve got a profession or... Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:16:55 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6098801 Answer to Whats your best preferred shower gel for muscular aches and pains to reinvigorate your body? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6049776 Whats your best preferred shower gel for muscular aches and pains to reinvigorate your body?<br /><br />I don&#039;t understand shower gels. Those aches respond to either a rubdown with Witch Hazel (at your Drug Store) or an application of Arnica Oil or gel (at the Health Food Store). WH is cheaper, but Arnica is good for heavy duty stuff, in my opinion. Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:17:48 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6049776 Answer to Has your perception of President Obama diminished? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6049738 Has your perception of President Obama diminished?<br /><br />Not yet. He&#039;s stumbled, but no more that one would expect after two months. Following Bush&#039;s act, he doesn&#039;t have to do that much to look good. It&#039;s funny, but the local right-winger on WJR this morning was going all the way back to Franklin D. Roosevelt to show how...

How do you think everyone, including governments would react?<br /><br />The 1950 Sci-Fi movie, &quot;The Day The Earth Stood Still&quot; is still a fine illustration of Human Nature in such circumstances.

I checked the circuit breaker switches and they are all on all the way. Is there anything else I can check?<br /><br />I found that it&#039;s a good idea to flip the circuit breakers totally off, then reset them. Some time ago, I encountered some that were tripped, but the switch handle didn&#039;t move enough to show. If the problem goes beyond that, you&#039;ve got a SERIOUS HAZARD that should be...

The meat and milk restriction stems from a passage in Exodus forbidding one from boiling a (goat) kid in its mother&#039;s milk. It was extended by Rabbinic rulings to such things as cheese rennet (cheese is curdled by a small piece of...

I feel that these guv&#039;ners are making a Point--they will fight until the last unemployed workers in their states have starved to death!

All you need are the kumquats (they look like little oranges), water, and sugar. There&#039;s enough pectin in the fruit to get it to thicken. The only tough part is getting all of the seeds out of the kumquat. Google for the recipe.

Do some affirmations and spend more time with real, live people. See the movie, &quot;Romancing the Stone.&quot; The first scene will probably do something good for you!
