I have a lovely dinner service white china with a gold rim called Legacy Gold and I have lost the label. Is it dishwasher safe? It is made by Noritaki for the US market I believe.

Answer
Do not put your China in a dishwasher! It is not only fragile but the gold can chip off. Hand wash and dry. This is a special dinner set that is kind of rare. Treat it like the treasure it is. Always enjoy it!

Does complimenting customers get you more tips at work?

I know who

If you compliment a customer(in a food service setting), do you think you would be more apt to receive a tip as opposed to just smiling and handing the customers their food? I wanted to test it out and see if it really does work today. what are your thoughts? I'm not doing this for the money, I'm doing this as my own personal study.

Answer
I usually can tell when a wait-staffer is trying to pump me for a tip. When they do that, they're lucky to get a 10% tip. On the other hand when wait-staff takes good care of me, 20% is easy. Round the holidays 25 & even 30% happens.

The worst tip I ever gave (no, not a penny, this is worse) was a car wash token. My dinner wasn't all that tasteful. When I mentioned that I did not enjoy my meal all I got was "Oh". So I asked for the manager who gave me a coupon for a free meal NEXT time I came in. Not only was my food less than good, the service was lemon water poor (I'd use the urine analyses instead, but I don't want to get in trouble with Yahoo). Since he didn't seem to care about his service, I left him a car wash token. Absolutely worthless to him. It cost me a buck, but it was worth a buck to tell him that his service stunk.

So, when I sit at your table, smile and give good service. I'll enjoy my dinner more, and even will tell management that you took good care of me.

One other experience: I had a waitress who kept putting her knee against my thigh. So I grabbed it. She didn't like it, but I suppose I was supposed to think she liked me and I would have given her a bigger tip for it. She got a penny.

Good luck to you.

Backpacking through asia?

john

Ok i decided on backpacking through asia.. by the time i want to go i estimate ill have about 4000 dollars would that be enough for travel/food for 6 months to a year? i really want to do this.. I would give anything in the world for this.. thanks

Answer
$4000 will get you by for about 4 months. India and Nepal are two of the most popular countries for budget travelers, by many accounts two of the cheapest places on Earth for budget travelers. Far fewer venture to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Tibet but prices are cheap in those countries as well.

Budget estimates are always difficult since people travel in very different ways. In relation to each other, however, the most expensive country in Southeast Asia is Singapore. The Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the popular beach areas of Thailand are in the middle. The lowest prices are in Indonesia, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. Singapore and Malaysia are quite easy for travelers: transportation is efficient, and people speak English.

Itâs not hard to spend $100 a day in Japan and $50 or more a day in Korea or the cities of the other countries. Still, plenty of backpackers do visit the area, going to see working friends, exploring China at length, or making a short stopover because of a flight connection. The various routes of the Trans-Siberian Express attract a lot of people too, with some stops along the way having ample budget travel facilities.

In terms of budget planning, itâs best to divide Asia into three areas: Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and Asia-Pacific. The differences can be striking. Even budget travelers can easily blow through $100 per day in Japan. To spend $100 per day in Laos would require staying at a very fancy hotel, eating at the most expensive restaurant in town, and ordering imported French wine with dinner. Otherwise, $20 a day can set you up rather well.

I'd suggest that on a budget of $4000 that going to India, Nepal, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Tibet will allow you to be able to travel for a longer period of time.

Countries like China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore are going to be a bit on the expensive side.

Hope I helped :).

What games,prizes and decorations should I have for my Halloween party?

I'm having a Halloween party and I need to know games I should play what prizes I should have and what I should decorate my house with?

Answer
Hi

Here's some ideas for Halloween. I thrown a Halloween party for my kids nearly every year so far, alternate between the two of them as one is now 9 and the other 17 so their needs and what acceptable is a little different.

I'm just in the middle of building a web site on 'Party themes' and one of the sections is 'Halloween party ideas for teenagers' there's also a page for younger kids. Below is an example of a Halloween theme, Mad scientists Laboratory. Another one I really like is the zombie dinner party and Dolls house (that's ones simple but creepy) There's also some good ideas on creating a Zombie Graveyard. Here's an extract from the web site.... if you fancy visiting it the address is www.creative-kids-partys.com itâs a nonprofit site and still under construction on some pages but I hope it helps if you take a look.

Zombie Graveyard

With just a little imagination and carefully placed zombie corpses a garden can quite easily become a âZombie Graveyardâ.

Create Headstones using sheets of cardboard you can really strong sheets of card from supermarkets, theyâre always glad to get rid of some. You cut these into different grave shapes and paint grey and then write on names of the deceased. Place these at random throughout the garden or yard, up against fences or standing up free, a simple line cut a couple of inches down into the grass will allow the grave to stand up on its own. Details like blood and slime can also be added if you like.

If you live in a climate where itâs cold at Halloween, although originally from Britain, I now live in Australia so Halloween is in summer, then you can work wonders with a big pile of autumn leaves. So if you can get your hands on a great big pile of leaves then you can lay these out in front of the grave stones to resemble where the body would be.

If you can either create or acquire body parts, arms legs, hands then these can be placed in the leave so that it looks like the zombies are rising form the dead.

These kinds of really creative Halloween party ideas for teenagers will be real winners with all their friends. Iâll bet you have lots of help to once you tell them what your ideas are! Playing kids Halloween party games set in these fantastic settings will have teens really spooked.

Thriller.....

A different direction for Zombies could be to add a music theme and host a Michael Jackson Thriller party with all the guests dressed as zombies...

Good luck and Happy Halloween

Where is Death of a Salesman set? In what city does Willy Loman live?

lomereed

I'm reading Death of a Salesman and I can't figure out where the hell it's set. It says that Happy Loman lives in an appt. in New York, but that doesn't tell me where everyone else lives.
I should clarify that the reason I'm asking is because I have to be interviewed as Happy tomorrow infront of my class and need to know what kind of accent to don, if any.

Answer
They live in Brooklyn. His brother Ben says it in Act I, when he comes to visit (in Willy's memory): "So this is Brooklyn, eh?" Also: Willy refers to how it used to be open space, but now they've put up all these apartment houses; the big game that Biff is playing in is at Ebbets Field, which is where the Brooklyn Dodgers used to play; and Happy refers to this fat pig Betty over on Bushwick Avenue, which is in Brooklyn. Willy does go into Manhattan to see Howard (and to have dinner with the boys), but Linda tells him to be careful on the subway stairs, so he clearly drives to a subway stop in Brooklyn.

ADDENDUM: I would strongly contest the suggestion that the Lomans--and the details of the play--are "generic". In fact, if you read it, they are quite specific--except for, as noted, what Willy sells. One of the wonderful things about dramatic writing is that the more specific you get, the more universal it becomes. Willy doesn't just remember any car: it's the Chevy that Biff Simonized. He's paying off a Hastings refrigerator, and angry because it's not a well-advertised machine. Biff was going to go to the University of Virginia; he didn't just work anywhere, he worked in a sporting goods warehouse. And the old English-class explanation that the name Loman is meant to equal "Low-man" is denied by Miller himself in his autobiography (pp. 177-178), where he notes that the name just popped into his head, resonating from having seen a Fritz Lang film many years earlier where a trapped man is on the phone calling: "Lohmann, Lohmann, Lohmann"...

My point is that while the audience is invited to think of the Lomans, and where they live, as universals, it works precisely because Miller has (mostly) very specific things in mind. And certainly to an audience in New York City in 1949, saying a character was a salesman who lived in Brooklyn was more than just background information--it pointed a finger at half the people in the audience. Do not confuse generic and universal--there's an enormous and important difference.

Moving In With Your Fi before the Wedding?

Moi

My boyfriend (almost Fi) and I will be moving in together the beginning of next year (he's waiting for his current lease to expire).

I live with my parents. I lived briefly away from home for a year in college. But, I had all hand me down furniture and such. My roommates cat ended up scratching and tearing up a majority of it, so I threw it all way when I moved out.

Anyway, my boyfriend and I have pretty much nothing in terms of household goods. I have a new bedroom set which I plan to bringing. I have offered to take my mother's old (only about 5 years old) dining room table off her hands, because she's recently redecorated and needs a good excuse to be a new, matching table. So, I told her that I'd be more than willing to give it a new home (since she didn't want to give her hardly used 5-year old table away to Goodwill)

My boyfriend has nothing. He lives in a bachelor pad and everything is old and needs to be put in the dumpster.

So, basically....
We have nothing but:

-A bed
-Dresser
-Night Table
-TV (2)
-DVD Player
-Laptop (2)
-One dining room table
-6 matching chairs

We have not dishes, no silverware, no towels, no cups, no small appliances (large appliances come with the apartment),

No anything. When we get married, Iâll be having a bridal shower. I know Iâll get lots of gifts. My family is very traditional and Iâll be the first girl and the first person in my immediate/extended family to get married. So, I know theyâll be pulling out all the stops for me.

So, I donât want to get anything too valuable, b/c Iâll have a registry for my shower. Yet, I DO NOT want hand me downs/used items.

What should I get in the mean time to hold me over? When should I start shopping for all these household items? Should I start now or wait until weâve at least signed a lease, so I know what kind of place weâll be in?

Thoughts? Anyone been in this situation?
Mrs. H that's the thing. We have nothing. I got rid of most of my stuff from college or gave it away. I didn't have room for stuff in my parent's house, so I gave all the dishes, pans, pots and even my coffee pot to my roommate. She was moving in with her boyfriend. My boyfriend has nothing. Everything is very, very old and he has a roommate who is getting his own place.

Plus, I think their dishes, pots and pans are his roommates. His roommates mom donated that stuff to them, so nothing is his.
Sorry, by hand me downs, I mean not goodwill, tag sales, etc.

I'll take hand me downs from my mom and my future mother in law.

But, I have a werid things about using plates and stuff from thirft stores.

Answer
Some stuff you should go ahead and start buying as soon as you can because you're not going to get any kind of furniture for your gifts. If you need dishware and flatware and other things that are normally wedding gifts, then go ahead and get some cheap stuff (here are some Target links to give you an idea) to tide you over.

http://www.target.com/Corelle-16-pc-Dinnerware-Set-Rosemarie/dp/B0001YLCZC/qid=1208664604/ref=br_1_1/602-4135020-4932607?ie=UTF8&node=16260291&frombrowse=1&index=tgt-mf-mv&rank=price&rh=&page=1

http://www.target.com/American-Tradition-20-pc-Flatware-Set/dp/B000XRKJ24/qid=1208664489/ref=br_1_5/602-4135020-4932607?ie=UTF8&node=269894011&frombrowse=1&index=tgt-mf-mv&rank=price&rh=&page=1

You can donate these sets to a thrift store after you receive (or buy) the sets you want. If you can't store items at your mom's house, and you don't want to move them from your boyfriend's to your new place, then just start a savings account specifically for your new household items and start putting money away now. If you have direct deposit from a job it's easiest to just have your DD put a portion of your check into the account.

When you have parties do you use Paper plates, Plastic Plates or your fine china?

dinnerware sets casual
on This is my top choice for our casual dinnerware. The photo doesn't do ...

dinnerware sets casual image

CAMILLE

Some people do not like to use paper plates or napkins. How do you feel about it?

Answer
BBq's and casual parties - paper plates, paper cups, paper napkins.

Steak & lobster in the dining room - Holidays etc. - fine china
And if it is truly a formal dinner ( holiday) I also go all out and do the full setting of silverware and all the types of glassware.

Otherwise I just use the normal knife, fork, spoon with my everyday dinnerware.

It all depends on the type of party you are throwing, casual or sit down.

Help with color scheme for living room/dining room combo room?

Crack

I need help with picking the colors for the rugs, curtians, pictures and pillows.....Sadly the walls must stay white, but I have white leather furniture, a mahogony wood with a cherry colored stain shrunk. In the 2 curio cabinets in the shrunk I have crystal and Lladro porcelian figurines. My dining room furniture consists of a china cabinet and hutch and a dining table that seats 6 the wood is mahogony with a cherry stain. In my china cabinet I have diffrent sets of crystal glasses along with china. The pattern on the china is pink and red roses set on what looks like an opal color the way an opal kinda shines and has that translucent effect. However, I do not want to decorate in pink and red, the roses do not stand out enough to have to pick these colors.
The style of the wood pieces can best be described as british coloniel with a slightly updated touch to it. I hope that makes scence. Thanks for your help.
I hope I dont have to buy new as I just spent 8,000 on this new stuff.....

Answer
How about adding curtains/ area rugs in a golden wheat tone, the white of the furniture will play nicely off it, and you could add a few inexpensive accessories with your china to tie it all together. Amber hue'd wine glasses, sixties art glass in a golden tone. Fresh white or stargazer lilies in a vase will immediately make the rooms feel more modern, elegant & pulled together. Mixing less formal stoneware with your china, will help to make the china pattern a lovely accent. Also painting a large inexpensive canvas with an accent color is a great solution for adding color without painting a wall.

how can I find out if my dinnerware is microwave safe?

Gir

I just bought a dinnerware set today at an antique store. They are called American Modern by Russell Wright. I only asked if they were dishwasher safe and now i'm kicking myself for it. I tried putting a bowl in the microwave, and it smelled bad and sort of made this vapor come out of the microwave. The lady in the store said they were definitely antiques which makes me think that was her way of saying there might be some problems with them. I know I can use them to serve cooked foods on, but I'd like to put them in the microwave too. I searched all over google and couldn't find my answer.

thanks for your help

How to eat healthily when this is what college is like?

dinner set kfc
on KFC Lunch Treats Promotion KFC Lunch Treats Promotion 300x300

dinner set kfc image

dellkitten

Before going to college, I set out on a healthy eating regime. I can't exercise a lot, but I knew I'd be walking lots at college (I come in 30 miles every day with train and bus), plus I leave at 7am and often don't get back before 6/7pm, then have college work and dinner before bed. Add a history of joint problems in my family leading to frequent injury, and you have the reasons why I can't exercise.

I thought, "my college is in Oxford, there'll be SO many healthy eateries, it'll be great!" The college canteen does chips, pies and white pasta with sugary sauces, the cafe does paninis, all with cheese and white bread, and muffins, and all in feasible walking distance in my hour-long lunch is KFC and Mcdonald's. And packed lunches are impractical, because of the time taken to prep them and the fact that I can't stand my own cooked food, unless it's high fat or hot. That means, as far as I can see, no healthy options!

I'm quite large, so I need to have a lot of carbs and proteins to fill me up. I'm confident that I could ween myself of the fizzy drinks and the sweets, little by little, if I could eat healthy with it. The worst is that my family used to be fairly healthy, but now it's ALL unhealthy, hardly any vegetables, all high fat. My whole family are overweight or obese because of it, and I want to buck this trend.

I like vegetables, I love chicken, turkey, stir fries, chinese food (the low fat options) and all those healthy options, but there are no healthy options. The nail in the coffin is money; lean meats cost more, and so does buying extra foods for me, and my dad refuses to pay. How am I going to shed these pounds with this schedule?

NO CRASH DIETS, FASTING, OR POPULAR FUNNY-NAME ONES! I want to be healthy when I'm skinny, not gain it all back!

Answer
Buying extra foods might work for you! Yes! Buy vegetables and fruits from the market. Then, wash 'em and eat clean...

Good luck!

how much would a decent meal cost in Hong kong?

Jon K

Im planning to go to Hongkong and im doing my budget, just wanna know how much i would set aside for food. so i wanna know how much does a meal cost (fastfoods will do) in hongkong.

Answer
Food variaty is one of the specialty of HK. A decent fresh hot meal can be had for around HK$25 ( About US$3.2 ) Any regular meal package at KFC, McDonald, Pizza Hut etc. starts at about that same level too. But you should budget about US$20 per day so you can try other stuff as well. Like a dim sum lunch or seaood dinner which will cost a little more.
In HK, you can go for months without eating the same thing twice if you are an open minded diner.

Transport and eating out in Bremen?

icemammama

Hi I am visiting Bremen this summer and I need someone to help me out on 2 issues. First, is it possible to get a bus/ tram / train to Bremen airport at around 3 in the morning?
Second, are there any cheap restaurants? Anyone knows prices of Pizza Hut, Mc Donalds or Burger King? Do other similar places to these 3 exist ? Thanks

Answer
Yes, Bremen has Pizza Hut and McD's. Bremen is a large city. A German fastfood chain that is similar to that is Nordsee, they specialise in fish and seafood. But that close to the coast many local restaurants serve better quality seafood than Nordsee. Cheap eateries are usually the Turkish Doner and Chinese take-away stalls. Some Greek restaurants are also good.

A meal in a cheap local restaurant will set you back around 15 EUR. Fastfood (including Doner, Nordsee meals etc) will be between 4-10 EUR.

But if you buy bread, cheese and fruits from the supermarket you can get by on less than 7 EUR per day (for breakfast, lunch and dinner). I live in Germany and I almost never eat at McDs or similar - it is not very economical (and unhealthy too) to buy a burger and fries for the same amount of money it costs to buy a half a loaf of bread, meat cuts or cheese and apples. The burger will fill me up for 3 hours, while the bread, cheese and fruit from the supermarket will be lunch, dinner and breakfast for the next day.

It is usually no problem to get to Bremen Airport, just take the tram. What I don't know is whether it will run at 3 am. You might have to take the last tram at around midnight and wait at the airport or take a taxi. Look here:

Can I lose the weight by the end of the summer?

blahblahbl

I am 13 years old, and I weigh 202lbs.
I am a girl, and I gained weight about 4-5 years ago when my parents got divorced and my mother fed me McDonalds every day for dinner.
I'm black/hispanic. My weight has spread to my thighs, stomach, and breast, and a little bit of my arms and face.

I know it's not in my genetics to be big, because right underneath my breasts, I can feel my ribs, and after 3 inches of ribs, my love handles start to come out, and then my stomach. I plan to at least lose 60-70lbs by going to the gym 3x a day. But go to the gym only 4 days a week. (Monday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday)

I want to either lose the weight, or just be in shape. I don't want to be a boobless stick, but I do want to be smaller.

Can I lose the weight by the end of the summer if I start now?

Answer
Yes you can, dear.

I see you have a lot of advice here, and most of it good. I also see you have a lot of support, and I applaud every one for that.

However, you need to find what works for your body. Advice is nice, but free, and you often get what you pay for. Don't believe everything you hear about pills and diets, most of those are from sources that are trying to make a sale.

The best advice I see here for you is a commitment to a lifestyle change. It was the lifestyle of McD's dinners that you saw as the source of your weight, a lifestyle of smart eating and exercise will not only take the weight off, but keep it off, and keep you healthy. And you'll still be able to keep some nice curves in your figure.

Moderate weight training is good, even once a week per muscle group. It will tone your muscles and strengthen you bones, and you won't "bulk up". And toned muscles burn calories, slowly but surely, not just when you use them, but 24/7.

Aerobic exercise is great for burning stored fat, and give you strong heart and lungs. Have the staff or trainers at your gym help you set up a program for this. Your exercise heartrate is the best guide to get the most out of your time, and maintain a safe workout pace.

Diet is indeed very important. You need to burn more calories than you eat, but you cannot starve yourself. Your body responds to your diet more than it responds to your exercise. You will see better results if you eat 4, 5 or even 6 small meals (not snacks) a day, totaling about 2500 calories a day, than if you cut way back on calories to try to force your body to burn fat. And be sure it's a healthy, low fat, balanced 2500 calories a day.

You will lose weight by the end of summer. How much, no one can promise. But you don't have to stop at the end of summer. do you? You can have a whole, healthy life ahead of you.

Best wishes to you.

I was just diagnosed with Diabetics 2 and I need to know what tv dinners brand would be ok to eat?

katcenicer

I have not gone todiabetics classes yet, my doctor is setting that up for me, but I have Lean cuisines now in my frig. I sometimes need something fast especially at work on my lunch. I need to now if thats a better brand than healthy choice or weight watchers. The lean cuisines have no perservatives.

Answer
You can survive on tv dinners as a diabetic if you read the labels. Not everybody's living situation has room for preparing raw food.

Try to keep the carbs under 45g, and watch out for higher sodium and fat content.

Some brands are better than others, and even within a brand, some dinners are better than others (in other words not all lean cuisines and Healthy Choice dinners are "diabetic friendly", and sometimes stoffer's and budget gormet can be, just depends on the numbers).

No pot pies of any brand and generally nothing that has a lot of gravy or cream suace.

Take some extra time and browse the whole tv dinner isle and look at all the different selections. Many dinners have either the diabetic or weight watcher's exchange point system listed on them, sometimes both (can sometimes be hard to find on the boxes). Look up the diabetic exchange system (I believe it can be found on diabetes.org), and the point system for weight watchers, and use that as a guide, too. They are very interchangable once you know what your targets are (should be a suggested mealplan on diabetes.org)..

Some dinners, surprisingly, include a dessert portion and can actually be within your meal plan. Generally, any "kid friendly meal" won't be within your meal plan.

Look also at the microwavable breakfast bowls. Some of those are allowable, some aren't (obviously the pancake ones aren't).

My mother did very well as a diabetic eating tv dinners when she could no longer prepare meals on her own and didn't like having people cook for her (she was able to keep her a1c under 6 for many years). TV dinners were actually a suggestion by her endocrinologist. I wish I could remember specifically which meals of which brands I used to buy for her, but it's been too long.

what music do Canadian adults listen to?

dinner set toronto
on Thanksgiving Dinner at The Old Mill in Toronto, ON - Oct 11, 2010 5:30 ...

dinner set toronto image

Ryan

i am planning a party for Canadian home owners and was wondering what is some good music they would enjoy. Something easy to listen to.
I am an employee at a home building company throwing a community party for about 350 people

Answer
It's kind of like asking, what do American adults listen to? It really depends.

Myself, I'm from Toronto, almost 50, and there isn't a genre of music I don't like. Most of the time, you will find me listening to rap/hip-hop. But if I had to pick two fav. genres, it'd be classical and dancehall. I also listen to a lot of jazz and blues. The pre-sets in my car are #1 classical 96.3, #2 Flow 93.5, #3 jazz.fm 91.1. I also like Bhangra, bagpipe, J-pop, world music, and reggaton.

Basically everything. Not too much country, folk, rock, or metal, though.

:-)

EDIT: All that said, I've found when having group events, you can't really go wrong with cool jazz over dinner, and/or classic rock songs most people over 40 know. R&B can also be a good choice, assuming it isn't too fast or too slow. ...Nothing too jarring, unless you know that's the taste of the majority of attendees.

When I have mixed parties, I play a fair bit of jazz, with some of my favourite, funkier world music thrown in. Invariably, people compliment the musical selections, and always inquire about "that African-sounding song" or "the one in Portuguese with the groovy beat." these are my personal parties, so I like sharing my music with others. But corporate events are more about making sure everyone is comfortable, and there's nothing too extreme.

How can I get my sleep back in sync?

Q. For the past 3 weeks, I've some how fallen into falling asleep around 6am and waking up at 4:30pm every day. This is the longest I've ever been in a cycle like this, the cause is my boyfriend is currently 6 hours behind me, and now I'm on his sleep cycle exactly.
If I wake up at a decent time from a night of being restless, I'll pass out later in the day.

Answer
Try treating your "screwey" sleep schedule like Jet-lag.

I'm constantly facing jet-lag in my day to day life. Don't mistake this, I'm not some jet-setting playboy, but losing three hours here and two hours there (sometimes twelve if the boss really "likes" me) really takes its toll on sleeping schedule. The only way I've been able to combat this is through a forced schedule.

Now, in the case of a plane ride you have to take into consideration if you're gaining time or losing time. This dictates whether to sleep during the trip or to stay awake. Considering you don't need to hop on a plane, I'll spare you that detail.

Once on the ground, I take account of the time. If it's 8am and I just ate dinner on the plane. The best solution here: force a breakfast. NOthing hearty, but a muffin or a piece of fruit. This puts me on track for the rest of the day. Likewise, if lunch was at twelve o'clock when I left, but it's now approaching ten o'clock when I land, I'm going to have to skip a meal, and lay down in bed to get ready to force a schedule.

You may be saying: "I don't care about food, I want to fix my sleeping habits." I'm getting to that." Your body works on an internal clock, it understands when you need to be active and when to go into it's more natural state of sleep. forcing your schedule will reset this clock, it'll feel awful for the first day or two, but it will reset quickly and you'll feel no side effects.

Here's an example. I once made a flight into Liverpool from Toronto. as many of you know, england is about five hours ahead. Now, when I left it was about 6 in the evening on a Tuesday. by the time I arrived it was 7 in the morning the next day. I stayed awake the entire flight doing work (I had no choice). When I arrived, I just wanted to collapse, so I did. The next three days were hell.

The next year, I had the same flight, again same scenario and time (roughly). Now even though I was dead tired, I forced myself to stay awake and take in a few sights. I didn't get to bed until about 9:30 in the evening. I know, not incredibly late, but even though the first day was hell, I felt better the rest of the trip.

I have kept to this regiment ever since with similar schedules and with fantastic results.

So, force your schedule. When it's 4:00 in the afternoon, instead going to sleep cause you're tired go out and do some shopping. If it's 8:00 am, and you still feel tired start setting multiple alarms or put your clock across the room so you're forced to get up to turn off the alarm and wake yourself up (I use hotel alarm clocks, set my phone on alarm and have the front desk give me a wake up call).

You may feel like crap for a day or two, but your clock will reset.

Where can I find an unusual funky, brightly coloured dinner plate set?

dinnerware sets plastic image

Q. I have quite a neutral dining room, as I live in a rented property, and would like to buy some really bright dinner ware. I have looked everywhere, and all I can find are relatively tame possibilities. Ebay even failed me! Is there anywhere I could find something unusual and bright that's not a plastic picnic set?

Answer
good will is wonderful

but you have to research the date in which the dinnerware was made for lead content in the glazes

target had a copy of what used to be called fiesta dinner ware that might be what you are looking for

green yellow blue orange red - you could get one place setting of each color and mix 'em up

Where can I get the cheapest dinnerware (nice-ish china, not plastic) for my Wedding?

c-So

Catering my own wedding, would rather buy cheap china plates than rent or buy plastic. Where can I get the cheapest. I've looked at restaurant supply and Ikea, but if anyone knows a specific website or someplace I've overlooked...would love to know. Thanks.

Answer
Wal-Mart and Target both have inexpensive sets in white or a light pattern. Or you could have fun with it and go to a thrift store and pick out a bunch of different patterns to mix and match!

I bought the 16 piece dinner set at walmart and I'm trying to find the place mats that are shown on the box and walmart doesn't have them. Please send me a link where I can find them! Thank you

Answer
Try Overstock.com and E-Bay. I bought a 60 piece set of Christmas dinnerware from a company called Domestications about 15 years ago. One of the dinner plates was recently dropped and broke into a thousand pieces. I had to replace it asap and found the dinner plate on E-bay for about $8.00 including shipping. They have some good stuff on E-Bay. I was surprised.

How much do your kids help you clean?

NYCmommy

what chores do they do?

here is what my kids do:
10 year old boy- takes out trash every day, keeps room clean, helps watch over baby while i'm busy
8 year old girls-help w/ dinner, set table, keeps room clean
6 year old boy-helps mommy fold laundry (the best he can haha), feed fish, keep room clean
3 year old boy-just kinda is my little helper
6 month old girl-nothing

is this too much or too little?

Answer
My kids have to empty dishwasher (expect for the pots and pans, they don't go in a place that is safe for my kids to reach), they have to empty the liter boxes, pick up dog poop in the yard, clean the bird and hermit crabs cages, clean the bathroom, clean their bedroom, sweep/mop/vacuum, pick up their toys. They don't have to do these chores daily or even weekly, everyone in the family has a turn to do them. I don't have any harsh chemicals to clean with in my house so it's completely safe for them to clean whatever I'm cleaning, and I'm not about to be the only one that cleans the bathroom.

Kevin

I posted this a little while ago but didn't get too much feedback so I guess I'll try again. I'm moving into my first real apartment later this summer. I'm a freshman in college right now so I have no idea what the necessities for a new apartment are. Its a one bedroom, a little bit under 600 s.f. with a small bedroom and a decent sized living room and kitchen. It comes with a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, a couch, a lounge chair, a coffee table, an end table, and a t.v. stand. What else do i need for this place? Please include basics like bedding and whatever else you can think of. Keep in mind I'm a 20 year old guy, so I want it to be kind of a bachelor pad, but not like the sleazy ones you often see in college. Thanks for your help!

Wanting to get married but money problems suck!?

laserguy16

Heres the skinny:

We want to get married, but I will never have enough money to buy her a ring. Ok, so we have a baby together, we waited, and now the time is right. We COULD use some money from tax rebates on a ring. Ok, now the remaining money wouldn't let us do a wedding, and we both have huge families (and unlike most people now-a-days we have family values and talk to these people regularly) so the amount of guests would be about 200. Oh yeah, our credit is F***ed so that isn't an option.

I'm a DJ on the side so finding someone who owes me a favor and will DJ wouldn't be a problem. This comes down to location and catering.

Location: Ideally outside, even if it was a back yard, we still have to deal with tents / chairs / tables / table cloths etc etc etc.

Catering, I was really thinking a pig (or 3) roast.

Who has ideas on low cost weddings?

What kind of ring is right, and doesn't say "I way overspent on this" and also doesn't flop the other direction and say "hey I'm a giant douchebag, I don't want to spend much on you"... I have a feeling that if I don't find that delicate balance soon I will be on the street.

Answer
Okay, let's plan a inexpensive wedding. But first let me say this and don't be offended. You do not have to have a wedding in front of family to be married. For God's sake you have a child, go to the courthouse buy a marriage license and get married there. Anyone who wants to wine and cry because they didn't get to see you married needed to pay for the wedding of "their" dreams. Secondly, skip the engagement ring and just have a simple wedding band and if you can only afford one, well get it for the bride. My hubby of 30+ years has never had a wedding band and has never wanted one, too dangerous around the equipment he works with. You can always upgrade rings later in life when money is not so tight. Third thing, please don't waste tax refund on a wedding when it could be used for a house down payment, night classes or baby's medical bills, something important.

Okay, I'll stop preaching at ya now, it's the mother in me!

Here is what friends of ours did a few years ago and it was a lot of fun. Hopefully if you are still insistent about a wedding it will give you some good ideas:
Wedding was held at a local lake and only immediate family attended the lakeside service. Nearby was a screened in pavilion which they rented. It had a small kitchen and bathrooms and picnic tables in it. Someone brought their stereo and speakers, bride & groom had made cds of their favorite songs and that took the place of a dj (you can use your friend). The food was made by bride & other family members (bbq, potato salad, think family reunion). A family friend w/ a nice camera took pictures and they were great. Family members could borrow disc and print whichever pics they wanted. Bride had purchased her dress at a local shop for a few hundred dollars, but I would recommend eBay for a used dress, or resale shop.....don't spend over $100. It will be worn one time and then hang collecting dust. Also if bride is not insistent on the whole wedding dress thing, go with something more casual like a sundress. If tuxes are expensive in your area, just wear black pants and a white shirt, maybe a tie if you want to go that formal, just go to someplace like Wal-mart for these items. Only have a Maid of Honor and your Best Man and they supply their own outfits. Remember it's outdoors, casual is okay. Wal-mart, Hobby Lobby are places that carry pre-made silk bouquets for under 20 bucks. Or girl's might be able to make their own. Now our friends chose to have a couple of kegs of beer but I would recommend you skip that since it adds to cost very quickly. Almost forgot, invitations were bought at Wal-Mart, printed out at home and included instructions to the immediate family to bring their lawn chairs, seating was not supplies. Friends received invitations inviting them to reception, telling them location and time and stated: "Seating is limited, the scenery is great, so grab you lawn chairs and come help us celebrate our special day." Counting, plates, plastic dinnerware, cups, tea, coffee, beer, wedding cake(bride's friend made it as her gift to them), invitations, postage, dress, tux, food, preacher, license, rings,and one night in a nice motel, they said they spent about $1500. Others bringing food saved them a tremendous amount and not renting chairs & tables did too. Wedding was this time of the year, so weather was perfect.
Good luck, look around for a special place, a pretty park, or maybe a family members large yard, I know you can find someplace that will cost you very little and still be a nice setting for a wedding. You've got the dj, and hog idea is great if you have a way to do it and know what hogs will cost you, that's a lot of BBQ sauce too, lol. But most of all, remember, you are just as married if it cost you $10 or $10,000. Hug that baby, tell it's momma you love her more than life itself and remember they are what really matters in your life, not a big wedding but making a family!

What to wear to a nice dinner at a restaurant when meeting parents?

dinner set gold image

bethica200

I'm meeting the parents of the guy I'm seeing and he said that they want to take us out to dinner. He said to dress nice and classy. Any ideas? Would wearing a dress be too much? Or too little if its a youthful kind of spring-y dress? Gosh, I need some guidance! What would the parents expect to be enough?

Answer
I would wear a dress, yes. Nothing sexy or clingy, though. Every woman should have a "little black dress" that she can go to in a pinch. This is the perfect time for such a dress. Black equals classy. This dress should be well-fitting, no more than an inch above the knee, have a neckline that does not show much cleavage, not too formal, and be well suited for accessorizing. You can dress it up with jewelry, or a wrap. The accessories are key, here. Use something with a dash of color.....or go with gold, silver, or pearls. Don't mix the black dress, color, AND gold/silver/pearls....that looks trashy or like you can't make up your mind. I would choose black pumps or sling-back shoes, as well.......and sheer black stockings, along with a small black bag.

Here are some pics I dug up for you to give you an idea of what I mean.

...............................................

Keep this dress handy in your closet. You can use it for everything from dinner parties to funerals. The trick is accessories. Jackets, shawls, belts, jewelry, different shoes/boots and the level of formality will be ways to change that one dress into the "go to" item for lots of events.

Best of luck on your dinner, I know you'll have fun.

How much does it cost for accommodation in India per month?

dinner set cost india image

MSabbah

Hey I am applying for an unpaid internship in New Delhi-India for around 3 months, and I want to know how much would it cost me to cover my accommodation per month, knowing that I am not seeking fancy accommodation, just regular average thing. The amount should cover living expenses and renting place to stay in.
P.S I don't want a shared apartment. Something like a "studio" (A room in a building that has everything inside) would be great.

Answer
Accomodation- Rs. 5-6k one room flat (big enough to accomodate 2 person)
Food- Rs. 4-5k per month
Transportation- Around Rs. 1.5k if you use public transportation like metro, bus etc.

If you're alone I'd suggest you to stay in a girls hostel in Laxmi Nagar (East Delhi). It's a students area. Beds are available at around Rs 3000 per month per bed. You'll have to share your room with one person. There're so many hostels to choose from and many options for food as well in that area. You just have to call the tea vendor and he'll come with tea in 10 minutes just for 5 rupees and that's how you can get breakfast, dinner etc. You won't get this kind of facility in any other place in Delhi and I don't think it'd be possible for you to set up a kitchen just for 3 months.

Edit: You can also get a room with only one bed in some hostels. So you won't have to share with any one. Try to find out hostel in Laxmi Nagar in google. You can call them they'll give you the details.

Good luck :)

1) Obtain a chit for a pre-paid taxi from the New Delhi airport before you depart and find yourself in the midst of hundreds of taxi touts; 2) Go to Kake da Hotel, across the road from Nirula's Hotel, for some of the best dhaba food in India, but be prepared to go up to your armpits in curry sauce swimming in your plate of chicken and therefore do not worry about the greasy sign on the greasy wall of this place, reading, "No Extra Gravy"; 3) Ignore the horrid cola soft drinks like "Thumbs Up" and, instead, rely upon fresh lime sodas (sweet, salt or plain) for hydration; 4) If you like ice cream, after dinner at Kake da Hotel, return to Nirula's Hotel and join the Delhi "fast crowd" for a cone of "pista" (pistachio) ice cream at Nirula's "21 Flavors", a Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors knock-off; 5) Ignore the unhygienic dhabas across from the New Delhi railway station, despite their touts screaming for your patronage. Instead, wander up the main bazaar street of the Pahar Ganj, perpendicular to the railway station and across the broad avenue. Walk for 15 minutes until you see "RExpo", a souvenir showroom on the right side of the Pahar Ganj main road. In this emporium you will find a fine selection of every typical Indian souvenir item, all in one place. Know that 35 years ago its proprietor, Raj Kumar Mathur, was sitting in the dusty street, in the dust of Pahar Ganj, selling Patchouli oil to hippies out of a small wooden box. Now he is the King of Incense! His RExpo is the best place to buy trinkets (treasures, when you return home) from India; 6) Ignore Kashmiris on Connaught Place who scream for you to look at their rugs, which are too bright for most homes; 7) Go to touristy Moti Mahal restaurant in Darayganj for some of the best tandoori chicken on earth, first served in this famous restaurant; 8) At the New Delhi railway station, check out the weighing scale in the main salon, the scale with the flashing, multi colored lights. Insert a rupee and get your weight. Return after your India sojourn to this iconic scale and re-weigh to see what dysentary has cost you in poundage; 8) Be prepared for a very, very polluted city, my beloved New Delhi with its excess of scooter rickshaws with no pollution controls and other frighteningly filthy motorworks, smogging up the town. And while you are lamenting the pollution, check out the electrical wiring between ancient buildings in Delhi and wonder why the entire town has not burned down long ago.; 9) Go to Chandi Chowk, near the Red Fort and Jama Masjid and wander aimlessly in the greatest shopping area on earth. Get lost in the maze of streets, perceiving the odd sights and smells and other delightful weirdness of Old Delhi.; 10) Go to Old Delhi railway station and gaze at the grand clock in the ceiling of the large concours. When you do so, think of me in 1972 asking the dundreery-wearing station master, "Is that correct Indian railway time, as I want to set my watch accurately before I depart for my tour of all India". His reply: "Young lad, there is one thing on which we can all agree: watches and women do not agree!" I passed on my watch-setting desires and departed with an unset watch! Oh India, Mother India . . . deep and profound.

I need tips for cleaning my room?

Q. Hey there, so I am 14, and I have to tackle my room which is a pig stye. I told my mom I would, and i'd feel bad if I didn't, but problem is, I get distracted. What should I do? I have a couch and bed in my room, a dresser, some like storage units in the closet, and a little like microwave cart which i use for my paints and such. any ideas?

Answer
Break i down into smart parts...

First, go in with a trash bag, and throw out anything you don't want...like old school papers, broken crayons, toys, etc...

Then you can decide if you want to sort through things and make a box for GIVE AWAY , UNSURE, PUT AWAY

If you have clothes that are too small, put them in the give away box. Maybe you have a younger sibling who can wear them, or you can give to Good Will or sell at a yard sale to make money!

If you have things that need to be put away, but you don't have a place for them, put in the box for now. If it has a place, like a book, put it on the shelf NOW--why handle it twice, and have to pick it up again and put it away after you have already handled it, right?

Things you are not sure about, put in the undecided box. You and your mom can go through them together later. If you start doing this, say for 15 minutes after school, and 1/2 hour after dinner, you will be done in a few days or maybe it will take a week, but your mom will be SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

It is also a good idea to figure out zones for doing things, like setting up a desk with a bookcase near for homework doing, maybe put the stereo/IPOD station near the couch...etc, so you have more room over-all.

Congrats to you for wanting to be so organized!

Why will/wont this exercise program give me a six pack? What could I do to improve my exercise program?

I just turned 15 and I do 3 sets of 20 crunches and 20 leg lifts every day, have been doing this for a month or so. I eat 4-5 meals a day no unhealthy stuff just healthy like meat and vegtables/fruits. I exercise almost every day for about 30-60 min. Will this give me a six pack? When will I get one if I continue this program?

Answer
Strengthen your abdominal muscles and lose body fat. You can have the most toned and defined abs but they won't show through if there's a normal layer of fat over them.

To build muscle, do sit-ups, crunches, leg lifts, jackknife sit-ups, V-ups, and planks. Make sure you train your oblique muscles- a lot of people forget those. You should also lift weights. The more muscle your body has, the more calories your body burns, even at rest. Many people are afraid of getting huge due to weight lifting, but the huge body-builders out there have been body-building for years to get that way. Since you want your abs to show, you should be eating fewer calories that you burn, and your body can't build a large amount of muscle without excess calories, so you shouldn't have to worry about this potential problem at all. If you just do cardiovascular exercises without lifting weights then you will be weak and it will take longer to lose that fat. So, to get rid of that fat quickly lift weights combined with cardiovascular exercises. Running, biking, swimming, stair climbing, jumping rope, tennis, volleyball, dancing, martial arts or any other activity that keeps you moving is a great way to burn fat. However, a cardiovascular workout should be performed for at least 20 to 30 minutes straight. Prior to this your body will simply run on its stored energy, which results in minimal fat loss. Cardiovascular training should always be done after your weight lifting workout. While lifting weights, you use stored, (carbohydrate) energy, thus, by performing cardiovascular exercises after weight training your body will have less stored energy to use and go straight into the fat storage for its energy use. Some think the best way to shed fat fast is to do cardiovascular exercises right when you wake up. The theory is that your body will search for energy to use, and when it finds nothing in your stomach, it will go directly to your fat reserves for energy. Others say that the first thing you should do in the morning is eat, to get your metabolism going earlier.

Every meal you eat should include lean protein. Cut down on the size of your portions. If you're hungry, snack on fruits or other low calorie snacks. Large dinners tend to hurt a fat loss process because most people aren't very active after dinner. This is the basis for advice along the lines of "don't eat anything within N hours before going to bed". The claim that your entire dinner is stored as fat isn't entirely true (the process is more complicated than that) but the fact you don't move after dinner is enough to hurt your cause. You can offset this by eating a larger lunch or snacking healthily before dinner. Fresh fruits or vegetables are excellent choices for curbing appetite not to mention other health benefits. A handful of nuts might do the same. Drink a large glass of water before sitting at the table.

Eat More Fiber. Most people don't get enough fiber. The recommended amount is actually not that much if you eat a healthy diet. "Fiber foods" include whole grains (white bread simply won't cut it) , fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds.

Motivation is key. If your motivation source is purely the result, you will not last very long. It's important to enjoy the exercise, the immediate and long term benefits and to incorporate enjoyable activities into your exercise routine. It may help to use a record-keeper or plan book for your exercise program. Exercise journals are fantastic for this purpose because as you enter daily information in the journal, you're putting together a complete record that can be referred back to in the future.

If you are already skinny, but simply don't have the abdominal muscle that you want, passively exercising while doing other things can help a great deal. If you spend a long time in a sitting position, try continuously clenching your stomach. Get in the habit of doing this for hours at a time and you may be surprised at its effectiveness.

Look up "Red Fraction" by MELL. I listen to this whenever I exercise. Its the best. I didn't like it at fist, but now I can't help but want to train when I hear it.
