Do American people really throw up in the toilet as shown in the movies when they feel sick? Isn’t that kind of gross? Why not use the kitchen sink?
We put our face above the toilet seat and puke into the bowl. We do not put our faces into the bowl!Puking into the bathroom or kitchen sink runs the risk of clogging the sink, especially for a bathroom sink.Puking standing up runs the risk of missing or only partially hitting the bowl, and having to clean up the mess from the floor. It’s hard to be accurate when you are heaving your guts up.Who has time to run to the kitchen sink when you are going to hurl any second?I don’t know anyone who has ever puked into a toilet bowl that still had . . . other stuff . . . in it. The other stuff gets flushed so the only thing sitting in the bowl is water.If we are sick in bed and think we may not make it to the bathroom, we keep a large bowl near us so we can spew into it. This is common practice when younger kids are sick, as they can’t always tell when they are going to vomit until the last second.You can always vomit outside too!
Why do some women like to act as submissive housewife role?
Some women i've come across like to act as the poor subservient housewife who're trapped in the kitchen just cooking and cleaning and ironing and being a good wife, who's husband completely controls them. This isn't 'real' in my opinion, it's put on; if you were this submissive you wouldn't be bragging and trying to get attention and sympathy for it. WHY? What is the psychology and reasoning behind it?
Why in India are ladies said to be impure during their menstrual period?
It is all a big misunderstanding of our previous generations. In some homes, women are not allowed to cook during these days because they should not enter the kitchen. There are so many other taboos like should not sleep on the bed or sit on the sofa.The ancient Vedic age had a reason behind everything. Like for example, take this "Kolam" that they put on the entrance of homes and temples. Kolams in the early ageInitially, these were made from அரிசி மாவு(rice flour). The intention was to decorate their homes but in the mean time, serve even the tiny ants which could eat the rice the Kolam is made of. Everything they followed had an inner meaning. But now a days, we see drawing Kolam as a formality, we end up with synthetic Kolam maavu (these are inedible) since they are cheaper, and are available in every color. We end up with more elaborately decorated and beautiful Kolams, but the purpose of serving even the tiniest creatures is lost. Kolams now a days.Got a bit carried away. Didn't I? Well, our ancestors in the Vedic age simply would have thought, the poor girl must be feeling pain and could get exhaused easily. Let her take rest for these days by staying in, and she doesn't even have to cook. Let her rest.So the women of those times, rested well and did not even go to temples which they would have done on a daily basis those days. Which, as time passed by, was intrepreted into,A girl on periods should be kept in home. She should not go out. Not even to the kitchen. She is messy. She is dirty. That is why our ancestors did not allow women inside temples on "those" days. What happened inbetween is that? -These people did not ask for an explanation to why this is happening; they blindly followed. So, such meaning less customs exists even these days.I'm glad now a days people are changing. I mean, they have to right? I don't think Managers would approve leaves based on our monthly cycles to let us stay home (which I totally think they should, with pay :-P ). I have gone to temples during my periods. Who is going to find out if I'm on my period unless I tell them? God hasn't punished me. :-D I never thought he will, in the first place. He he. Anyways, to sum it up, just like the Kolams, all the period surrounded restrictions are simply misunderstood good intentions.
What does the phrase "you're more than welcome" mean?
If you say “you’re welcome”, it means that you are happy to do something for (or give something to) someone. E.g. if they say ��Thanks for having me around for dinner,” and you say “You’re welcome,” it means that you are happy they came around and it was no inconvenience to you.If you say “you’re more than welcome”, it means that you are not just happy to do or give the thing, but you are really keen to do it. E.g. if someone says “Thanks for having me around for dinner” and you hugely enjoyed their company, felt wonderful having them around, want to see them again soon, and felt like they were actually the one doing you the favour by spending time with you, you could say “You’re more than welcome!”
Why do people say "let love find you, don't look for it"?
“If you sit home playing video games all day, you won't meet anyone.”Heh. Heh heh heh. HEH HEH!I was 49 years old, and had never been married. In fact, I had barely dated as an adult. I’d had one relationship, when I was 23–24 years old, that lasted 18 months, and another when I was 36 that lasted six months. And after that, I just never had much interest in trying to find romance and love. I took the position, “if it happens, it happens”.So, living alone in an apartment, at 49 years old, I spent most of my time alone, playing World of Warcraft, when I wasn’t at work. Work and WoW, that was my life.So on Christmas Eve, 2015, I was sitting alone in my apartment, playing WoW. At some point in the evening, I wandered downstairs to my kitchen, and as I was entering the kitchen, I noticed for the first time a small, patched section on the wall. I was curious about it. You see, my apartment building was built some time before World War 2. I had already figured out that, when the building was new, it was heated by some kind of furnace in the basement, with all of the apartments sharing the heat. I figured that this small, square, patched-over spot must have originally been some kind of vent that allowed the air to move between apartments. My curiosity prompted me to knock on it.Somebody knocked back.So I knocked again, and heard more knocks in return. Then I heard a woman’s voice through the wall yelling, “Hey, come over here!”I was … a bit surprised. But I shrugged and went over there.I met my neighbor for the first time. We spent the rest of Christmas Eve together. Then we spent Christmas together. And the next day. And the next, and the next. She had a big TV, but no cable, so she could only use it to watch DVDs. I set her TV up with my WiFi password so that she could use my Netflix account. I spent most evenings in her apartment, watching shows on Netflix with her.In March 2016, she moved into my apartment, and toward the end of April, we got married.I was playing video games instead of looking for love, but love found me :)
I feel like I’m losing my little girl to her boyfriend. She’s 26 but my best friend. I don’t want her to marry or have sex anytime soon .?
No this is not a joke. She’s always been a daddy’s girl and we’ve always had a great relationship. I guess that’s why I’m not pushing her to move out as much as her mother is. ( her mother was abusive to her as a young child and they have a terrible relationship. I tell my daughter and her boyfriend marriage is hard, it’s not a fairytale but she thinks she knows everything. They’ve been together for four years but I still get saddened/ upset when I think about her getting married and leaving me. It’s always hard for a parent to truly let go of their child. I’m going to miss having a home cooked meal also because I’m used to her cooking everyday. My wife doesn’t know how to cook and after 12 hour shifts I’m way too tired to cook. I told her I could take her to her hair stylist appointment but she wanted her boyfriend to take her even though for some reason.
What happens if you leave an empty pot on an open stove?
It depends on the pot and on the stove. Cooking used to be done in cast iron pots on cast iron wood-burning cookstoves. This is still the best way if you have time to set it up right. The empty cast iron pot would get very hot on the wood stove, but it would never melt. On the other hand, if you set a thin aluminum saucepan or skillet empty on a gas or electric range (turned up high), you will have all the trouble you need in about two minutes. The people who said it would not melt have never been in the kitchen, I suppose. It is one of the most common household accidents. On an electric range, the melting aluminum pan can cause an electrical short and start a fire; on a gas range, it can spread the gas flames and set fire to surrounding objects. If you melted an aluminum pot with a non-stick coating and/or an enamel finish, you could get a release of a small amount of toxic fumes from those materials. A thick aluminum pan might take 30 minutes or more to melt, but it would. A gas flame is hotter than an electric "burner" and a pot will melt faster on gas. At the same time, the good old cast iron pan will get very hot, (like red hot), but it will not melt. It would take an oxy-acetylene torch to melt the cast iron pot. You can melt a copper pot over a gas flame, but not an electric range element. It would take a while. Moral of the story: be careful in the kitchen at all times. Don't cook if you are sleepy.
