  Have you ever had to shovel snow?

  1 0 I grew up shoveling snow that we measured in feet, not inches. It isn't fun. But it is great exercise! Why do you ask? Vitta Castillo answered in Other - House & Home about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  Can babies drink pop?

  3 0 I was fed Pepsi daily as a child, from age 1 or so. It was part of a fast food, processed food, sugary white flour cereal for breakfast, etc. upbringing. I was twenty before I realized what a healthy diet means. I drastically changed my diet and I'm fine. But I think it is rare to break out of bad habits one was raised with. My brother never did and developed high blood pressure in his twenties and diabetes in his thirties. Short version: don't poison your children.

  Do allergy shots really work?

  1 0 I used to use Flonase, which is a corticosteroid nasal inhaler. It completely stopped my allergies. Before I used that I would have entire days where I wouldn't stop sneezing. Oddly, after my last cat died my allergy symptoms decreased dramatically and now I just use the occasional Zyrtec. Allergy shots never worked for me.

  where to find a good selection of Indian curry for cooking?

  0 0 Curry is best custom made. Buy whole spices for cheap at PCC, Madison Market, Whole Foods, etc. Get an extra coffee grinder. Blend them yourself. It isn't very time consuming and the freshly ground spices smell so good! Vitta Castillo answered in Food & Drink over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  Where can I find a stylish black rain coat with a hood?

  Why didn't we domestic cougars while we had the chance?

  2 0 We never domesticated cats, really. They domesticated themselves. The small ones fed on rodents, which we liked. The big ones have always fed on our livestock, so we didn't welcome them. Vitta Castillo answered in Whatever over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »
