Weber, I live, I breathe,I've been around the block Answered January 1, 2019 I don’t know what’scausing sticky hands after washing dishes. It could be that you’re not gettingall the soap off of them. Rinse your handsthoroughly in warm running water when you’re finished, then dry them completelyand apply a little lotion. That should take care of the problem. Or you couldwear dishwashing gloves that have a powdered fabric lining. My note- Sticky hands is due to washing oily vessels Q3 Why do we put back cracked eggs atthe store if we're just going to crack and cook them ourselves? A3 Martin Bayer Chef(1994–present)Fri Egg shells protectthe egg from contamination. A cracked egg shell allows bacteria and physicalcontaminants to get into the egg, which you are going to eat. No one needs toworry about wether or not their eggs are safe to eat, because they are cracked.A simple check inside of the carton will tell you if they are good to go ornot. So, if they’re cracked, choose another carton. Q4 What are your views on Hindus whotreat their ancestors as God? A4 Bhuvana Rameshwar Tamil cultureand heritage 8h ago Yes. We treat our ancestors as invisible angels whoprotect us and our children. Although we have garlanded photos of our ancestorsin the hall we also pray to them by keeping our favourite ancestor's photo inthe pooja room. I keep my mil's photo similarly. to take care of us especiallyduring travel, marriage, childbirth, education and health. Before any wedding in the house wepray to our ancestors. Mahalaya Amavaasai, ( a new moon day in Sep/Oct in the puratasi Tamil month) annually is a day to pray to all our deadancestors. In ancient daysevery small village had some elders who spoke fairly, warned them of weatherchanges, adviced them on family issues, fixed time and date of marriages. Itwas because they were well known for their just nature, being fair to all thepeople. When such people diedthey became village diety.. an Amman or Thai or mother or Maa byinstalling an idol a female form. In few days a temple was built around theidol and they became the village goddess. In Ooty the local Amman temple with two idols ofAmmans actually were two sisters who cared for the ancient village in Old Ooty! Men too who weregood, and wise were personified as gods or male angels after their death . Theywere made into gods or demi gods. Each of these idols became gods later. Somewere named later as another kuruppu swamy, aiyanaar, muneeswaran, sudalai andmadaswamy the common village dieties or their rebirths. There were annual week long festivals to please ancestralgods with vegetarian and nv foods. Sacrificing goats,chicken to please the ancestors was also common besides feasts for all therelatives, married daughters and all villagers. Q5 Is it worth the extra money for amultilayered, copper outside frying pan? Or should I go for stainless steel? A5 Martin Bayer Chef(1994–present)Thu Copper used to be popular for cladding cookwarebecause it heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly. It tarnishes thoughand requires regular polishing. Aluminum and stainless cookware have greatly overtakencopper in popularity. Most due to lower cost andease of care. A quality stainless steel pan clad in copper is no better than aplain stainless pan when it comes to cooking performance. Any difference isminiscule. The copper jacket is just for looks and will call on you to polishit regularly. I would go with plain stainless. You’re just payingmore for the copper for it to be there, not to improve the performance of yourpans. Q6 Why doesn't it work that "bigbirds eat small birds" like for fishes "big fishes eat smallfishes"? A6 Claire Jordan Degree in biologyand folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Fri Since they live inwater, most fish are carnivores - marine fish in particular don’t have accessto plants or seaweed unless they live very close to the shore. Birds have access to all the plants on land, aswell as to waterweeds, and to fruits and seeds, so amuch higher proportion are mainly herbivorous. Even so, many birds of prey doeat smaller birds, as well as small mammals and reptiles. Of course there are also many fish, and birds,that eat small arthropods - krill in the sea, and insects onland.

EE, developing water from Air Answered February 21, 2016 Like anything itdepends how much, when etc and this applies to the bath as much as to the wateryou drink. Being in thebath (& for a long time) your body will be subject to osmotic effects whichwill draw water into cells such as your skin until it reaches anequilibrium which is also subject to any injuries you might have and thatincludes bruises which might not have bled through skin abrasions ie. Don'tleave bruises submerged for longer than needed except under medical advice... Depending on how long you are in the bath, youmight feel the need to pee but, drinking water isfine at any time and especially when thirsty and often before you expect to bethirsty as some can be slightly dehydrated before they start to recognise thesensation of thirst. So best to thinkahead re possible strenuous activity re water intake as water is essential forgood kidney function at the least... 2ND ANSWER- Ashok Banga, Doctor: Pediatrician,an impatient optimist. Finding rationalityUpdatedApril 29, 2018 More than 95% of our body is water . There is veryfine balance of the composition of each cell and even minor change triggerswater balance re-adjustment.

A8 Claire Jordan Degree in biologyand folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Fri Firstly, humans are themselves a type of ape. Secondly, if youmean, why are there more human apes than non-human apes, it’s mainly down tohabitat loss. Humans so faras I know are the only ape that isn’t primarily a jungle species. Asnatural steppes and human farms have eaten into the jungles, so humans havebecome commoner and other apes rarer. Also, we eat them. Q9 Waterand soap are meant to clean the body after bathing.

Q10 Is deodorant bad for humans and theenvironment? A10 James Brown, studied at NHTI ConcordNH (1994)Answered 27m ago Sadly almost everything we humans do, hurts the environmentin some form. You must decide for yourself whichbattles to fight. Years ago I gave upalmost everything not natural or organic. Since I have brought some thingsback. Bleach for instance, some mildew can't be killed with vinegar. Washingmore frequently to stay ahead of mildew seemed more environmental impactfulthan using one gallon of bleach a year. Also same issueswith cleaning toilets. Once a week with a table spoon of bleach vs severaltimes a week with baking soda and bleach. They are not without impact, it takesmining resources, production, and distribution energy. Not using products with artificial perfumes issocial the best thing you can do. These chemicallyproduced scents can be hormone disruptors. Bathroom sprays, plug in and car airfreshers being among the worst.
