What is it that I may do to become more interested in reading?

November 222009

It seems like every time I pick up a book at the store or the library I start skimming through it and then put it down. Some times I buy the book, bring it home, and never look at it again while wishing I had the time to read it, knowing that is a lame excuse.

It’s pretty simple: read about things you enjoy. Read some books that really trip your trigger or that you’re passionate about. You aren’t going to become more interested in reading itself, but in the content of what you’re reading.

A couple of pretty good books that should interest anyone, especially if you enjoy the outdoors would be "Into thin Air" or "Snow Falling on Cedars."

Find something you enjoy reading about.

How many calories can i avoid consuming a year? I’ve been drinking skim milk for the past 2 years or so?

I cannot even tell the difference between skim milk and regular milk anymore.
ok i see the question is kinda confusing. basically, what health benefits have i given myself by drinking skim milk (if any)?

if you cut 100 calories from your diet (per day) you should lose about 10 pounds in a year. whole milk has around 150 calories per serving, skim milk has roughly 80. In theory if your diet and exercise and all other conditions remained the same you’d lose 7 pounds per serving of milk you drink.

70 calories x 365 = 25,550
you’ll avoid that many calories per serving of milk you would typically drink

What should I title my research paper on the Knights Templar?

November 202009

first I basically told their story, then I went more in depth of their legacies such as banking and ‘friday the 13th’ and compared it to modern days, and then I skimmed through the battle of hastings and how that was tied to ‘friday the 13th’. I’m done writing it, but all I need now is a title…
thanks!

How religions destroys good things, repetition of history.

Is powdered skim milk (reconstituted) ok to use in baking?

November 202009

I usually only use dry powdered milk for my bread machine recipes but I have quite a bit of it on hand right now. Is it ok to replace regular milk for reconstituted powdered skim milk in recipes for things like muffins?

You might have to add a tablespoon of melted butter since most recipes are designed to use whole milk.

How long would it take to write a 10-15 page research paper?

November 162009

I am in a four year college and i got about a month to write a 10-15 page research paper on religion in chicano society? I dont have any research yet but i got 2 books that ive checked out to read..Ive only skimmed through them. I have been stressing out since other students in my class have begun theirs. So how long would it take? an estimate

A month…depending on your time schedule. You will need LOTS of research than just those two measly books. Find some creditable stuff on the internet. Check out some more books as well. Then pull it together and if you find you don’t have enough to make atleast a 10 page, go do some more research.

What exactly happened to Alice before she met the Cullen family?

November 132009

Instead of skimming through the book, I thought I’d ask instead, break it down for me, please. Thanks.

Alice Brandon was locked up in a mental institution for having visions. Her family had a "funeral" for her and listed the date of her death as the day she was admitted to the hospital. James (the vamp from Twilight) was obsessed with her and before he could kill her, she was changed into a vampire by a man that worked in the institution. She wandered for a while and met up with Jasper (who she knew she was going to end up with because of a vision) and the two of them made their way to the Cullen family (also because of a vision.) She’s from Mississippi.

Is Nutella allowed across British Customs?

November 132009

I am thinking of bringing a small jar of nutella into UK.

However, British Customs prohibits any meat or dairy products from travelers outside the EU.

Does anybody know if Nutella, which contains 8.7% skimmed milk powder, is allowed?

On a related note, I also do wish to bring 2 big packets of satcheled malt drinks, which frustratingly contain a little powdered milk.

Do advise.

sure, just declare it

Regular users, do you sometime feel jaded, like all the questions are summer-time reruns and you just skim through looking for something different?

Yes i’m glad that there seems to be minimal mama drama thus far today.

And yes, I do feel jaded at times. I’m tired of answering the same old questions and don’t really bother anymore unless I feel I have something to say, that wont be said by 20 other users (no offense to anyone).
