  What are the most naturally innuendo-laden place names in Washington?

  1 0 Dirty Biter Park in La Conner is my favorite still. It's apparently named for a crusty old dog that hung around the town, but I absolutely love it out of context. RM answered in Whatever 21 days ago Answer, comment & read 10 more answers »

  Where's the best place to adopt a dog?

  0 0 Hey you. PAWS is my favorite Seattle shelter- they do a really cool "profiling" to match people up with animals. They're in Lynnwood but well worth the drive. Paws.org Seattle Animal Shelter is online as well- just Google! And Petfinder.com has really good search criteria and will let you really get specific in your search- it lists almost all local shelters as far as I know (at least it's available to them). I know a lot of people will pick pets up from Craiglist- but I've heard over and over again how much more expensive that can be (even "free" animals) due to irresponsible pet owners. Shelter babies always have shots, are spayed or neutered, and have a clean bill of health before they can be adopted. RM answered in Dogs 22 days ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  Does sodium cause crankiness?

  1 0 I'm huge into believing that diet impacts mental health, and although I don't have the knowledge base to back it up- I've also had similar experiences with sodium and being an awful jerk. I actually once broke up with a boyfriend, on Christmas morning, after eating a giant pizza the night before. All I really remember feeling that morning was really gross about the pizza, and really annoyed that he existed. Poor guy. I also definitely find that when I eat out more often than usual I not only feel crappy and sluggish (this is still me being a big food snob and eating quality, whole foods), but really, really fucking cranky. Let's blame salt. It's better than ourselves. RM answered in Other-Food & Drink 28 days ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  Candied fruit

  0 0 Town & Country Markets have an amazing bulk food section, although you'll have to trek off the Hill. Greenwood Market & Central Market in Shoreline have the best bulk food sections I've ever seen- and carry some nice candied fruit.

  Why is my butt muscle twitching?

  3 0 Stressed? Anxious? I once had an eye twitch for over two weeks because I was a total disaster of a stress case. That seems to be the most common cause (as far as I've experienced) for random muscle twitches. From what I've also read muscle twitches are usually benign, but can be caused by dehydration, fatigue, or nutrient deficiencies. If it continues more than a few weeks I'd consider talking to a Dr. - but no need to panic. RM answered in Aches, Pains & Illness 2 months ago Answer and comment »
