What healthy foods are good for making you feel full?

I can't remember what foods are good to eat that actually fill you up.What healthy foods are good for making you feel full?
multi grain bread or whole wheat pasta, lots of vegetables (esp green veges), with some protein like lean chicken. if u're still hungry during your meal, have some more veges. anything high in sugar will just get u hungry and increase your appetite, so stay away from sugary drinks, cakes, candy, cookies, etc.What healthy foods are good for making you feel full?
first off all brown bread and especially whole gran bread and put garlic we you cook its good for feeling full,and drink lots of water also to fill up your stomach,and carrot also good


ha brown rice and pasta good and healthy and make you feel full
Anything that is low suger or glucose.





The trick is to realize that hunger is an irritation of the stomach. In other words, after you eat, it takes some time for it to go away. Generally about 20 minutes.
Basically have a drink before you eat and have protein with every meal. protein makes you feel full for a longer period.
Spinach.

What do you think of women making false accusations of rape?

I personally resent those types of women ever more, the next is gold diggers. I think they're the worse type ever. A woman cries rape and the stupid judicial system knows she's lying, but her word is taken over the man's. The man is now known as a sex offender, his life is ruined, and be locked out of society for life.





If women keep doing this, more men are going to be paranoid and hate them. The only to stop the hate for the women to stop playing games.





In your opinion, what do you think of women making false rape accusations?What do you think of women making false accusations of rape?
Any person who lies and causes someone to get punished for it, is reprehensible...male or female.What do you think of women making false accusations of rape?
In THIS country (USA), it is SUPPOSED to be ';INNOCENT UNTIL PROVED GUILTY';.





Without proper PROOF, nobody should EVER be prosecuted for ANYTHING.





ANYONE who ';bares false witness'; and is PROVED to be doing so, should be prosecuted exactly the same as the crime they bared false witness to.





WOMEN can be THE most spiteful, vengeful, wicked creatures on Earth. It is up to the MEN to educate and arm themselves against women who are that way, because without women in society, all human life would fail. Women CANNOT ';play games'; unless there are MEN out there who are willing to play games with them. Ignorance is no excuse.
It is true that in this society if a woman has it out for you it's over. A woman's word is taken over the man's in many cases. Take a couple just divorced fighting over rights for the child. It is so much easier for the mother to get full custody than for the father too. When I was talking to an army recruiter he told me the biggest mistake is to cross a woman. He said that even a pat on the back and she can cry sexual assault and it's all over for you. Women that cry rape falsely are nothing but liars but they will get whats coming to them in the end.
I disapprove of women who falsely report rape as much as I do people who falsely report other crimes. The reality is, the vast majority of women who actually come forward are telling the truth. It is only a very small fraction of women who lie. Whether it can be proven in a court of law is an entirely different matter. Just because it can't be legally proven doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Its disgusting and disrespectful to the real victims of rape. The women know the police are bound to act on their word due to liability issues and will use this to their advantage. Even when there is absolute proof they lied to get their way the police do nothing about it. Peoples lives are ruined because some girls want to feel self righteous?? That is not empowerment, it is entitlement.
I think they waste the time and resources of the judicial system that could be better focused on women who have truly been abused and raped. The women who make false accusations put themselves in these vulnerable positions with men, and then when things don't go according to their plan, they falsely cry rape. It really angers me.
Well, the issue here is, how do YOU know they were lying? Has it occurred to you that not all of them are?





*If* it is a lie, I think they should be prosecuted. However, if it is not then I think the disgusting piece of sh*t who did it deserves to be fried over it. I am glad that they ruin the lives of sex offenders. I wish we executed child rapists personally.
I think that women like that should not be allowed to accuse people in court. Especially without doing appropriate tests, checking witnesses, skin tests, bruises, DNA samples on clothing etc...





And yes, it does give women a bad name to ruin a mans life. It also gives men a bad name that they are not listened to in a fair court by the judge and jury.
There are many men accused of rape b/c the young lady looks like she's 30 when she is only 13. There is no more statutory rape. You are charged with rape even if its oral sex, even if she did you and was never forced. The Law is so stupid..


There should be a law to protect innocent men of ruthless women who cry rape. But one day, they will get back what they have done.
I think women who accuse men of raped, has some real problems and I think they do it for some type of attention. It's sick but that's my theory. They were either dump or rejected after they had sex and to make the man's life a living hell what better way to ruin it is to accuse him a rape.
it was said about me once and the girl just laughed in court pretty much and that is what got me off it was all a lie all because i threw here and here mom out of my house %26gt; Girls say things to there advantage and it most of the time works for them . We can see it but when we do stay the heck away from them they are crazy and crazy women are dangerous
i think its horrible! i didnt even report mine by my exboyfriend. my counciler reported it and i covered his ***. if i told the truth i would have been accused of being one of these disgusting retchid women you speak of.


they cry rape. they should get raped. its a horrid thing. you suffer the consequences of what someone else did to you, you dont want to be touched, always scared it will happen, the trust dammage.


they are just as bad as rapists!
how about that broad who even duct-taped herself as part of the charade?





or that googly-eyed runaway bride? kidnapped by mexicans, raped by a man and a woman, driven to arizona. all phony. all invented.








jesus what a frickin' travesty that is.





attention whores to the max.





they should get the same jail time as a rapist.
Anyone who makes a false accusation against someone (particularly a serious crime like rape) deserves to be punished with either jail time or a heavy fine, and to have their names discredited in a similar fashion as someone who is a registered sex offender.
of course they are wrong. its not right and they are ruining someones life. but hello if the guy was a sex offender to begin with. then i dont care. america is too easy on those men. they either need to stay in prison for rest of their lives or get their penis cut off.
Well one of my friends did it, and I'm only 13...





I havent spoken to that girl since and I think shes sick in the head. People who make up stuff like that are attention seeking b*tches. People actually do get r*ped and its a serious topic.
makes you wonder about Karma! The Boy Who Cried Wolf comes to mind! The women who cry this are dispicable and what is even more dispicable is the social stigma attached to the fellow that was accused!
i don't think a girl or woman should lie and say they been raped but there is girls and women who really was raped in that case he needs punishment
I don't like anyone making false accusations about anything, but I hate rapist more.
man's pint of here.that female should be punished for committing such a crime. over in irqa they kill the female by any means
i think so long as they did it for teh lulz its ok.
It's wrong and they should be punished by the law.
That's what the death penalty should be for.
i hate them.
it happens more everyday, it will bit them in the *** one day
its a hard one but i think they may have gone through some relationship probs and have the rite to do so
I think its funny as hell

Is it just me or is making good grades in high school incredibly easy?

It can be. High school was very easy for me and I got mostly As with a few Bs. However, I have friends that struggle academically and found high school to be very hard. It all depends on a persons strengths and weaknesses. It can also depend on classes taken, how a person applies him/herself, and other circumstances (personal problems, sickness, etc.).Is it just me or is making good grades in high school incredibly easy?
I think it is incredibly easy, because the education system is really being dumbed down. I am a teacher and am shocked sometimes at what I see. No one wants students to fail, so everything is being made ridiculously simple so they won't fail. Of course, what is happening is that the good students aren't really learning, and the lazier students are causing this domino effect to get worse.





No offense to you as a student. I'm not trying to insult you, I'm just saying what I see in general.Is it just me or is making good grades in high school incredibly easy?
I agree with the teacher (Merryberry). The schools really are going downhill. My son was bored with his schoolwork, because it was too easy, by first grade. I mentioned it to the teacher and she told me she couldn't give him any extra or harder work because it wouldn't be fair to the other kids. They wouldn't be able to keep up. WTF? When I was a kid they had special classes for the smart kids. Now they only have them for the dumb ones- and they're getting dumber every year. My kids can come home with perfect report cards and I'm like ';So what? You're smarter than the average moron';, and they agree. There's just no challenge anymore. It makes me sick.
Well then you obviously aren't taking the hardest classes to suit your abilities, so stop bragging. I consider myself to be highly intelligent but you don't see me bragging to people who suffer through every minute of school even though they try their best. In the words of Rick James: ';cold blooded.';
Good Question.





Making good grades is very easy for those of us who do (or in my case, did) well at school sort of stuff.





What is HARD is REMEMBERING all the stuff you learn. Challenge your brain to really GET IT and you will enhance your life and maybe win a lot of money on Jeopardy some day %26lt;G%26gt;.





For those who do not find it easy to get good grades, you probably learn better another way or have other talents. I speak as a mom who homeschools her kids. Everyone is unique and everyone is special.





Make the most of your education!
i feel the same way. i sometimes don't even have to do any homework at school because it's already done. basically, it's not you.
Your book smart. Every body has different talents.
uhm,


are you bragging or something?


its really rude.

What's the best strategy to making money in the stock market?

1. I do mean a lot a money.What's the best strategy to making money in the stock market?
Honestly, the best strategy is to have a fairly diversified portfolio that you continually add money to over a long period of time.





Boring, but gives you the best risk vs reward. Any good financial planner will tell you the same, and I know its true from long experience.





I have had stocks that tripled my money and stocks that i lost 50% on. In the end, I made the most overall by just using ETFs or index funds and putting money in every month over long periods of time.





Good luck.What's the best strategy to making money in the stock market?
The best strategy is to look at the paper and every day there will be some factors like P/E (stock price to earnings per share) ratios. Look for the best P/E ratios in each industry. Stay away from comparatively high P/E ratios as those are current favorites and it is better to buy what is currently out of favor. Ignore PPE (projected profit earnings) ratios as those are guesses from the companes that could be biased because they are providing the figures to investors to get them to buy the stock. Research those names with the lowest P/E ratios to see if they get some recent bad news. Then follow each stock every week and if a price had been going down and just went up, then buy it because it is on the upswing and if it has been going up and just went down, then sell it because it is probably going into a down cycle.
judging by your question it sounds like you know very little about the stock market. The first thing I'd advise you to do is just research what it is, what makes stocks move and look at some history of it.





Naturally the best strategy is to invest in something relatively cheap today that 10 ,15, 30 years from now will have gone up considerably. It's hard to pick the next walmart, berkshire hathway, apple, etc etc etc. there is so much you have to learn grasshopper
The only way that experience people make money in the market is they know what they are doing, why they are doing and how to do it.





They put together a sound program which includes


1- A written sound trading/investment plan with rules that will not only help you but more importantly protect you, mostly from yourself.


2 - Sufficient trading/investment capital. Use your own money, there’s no need to go into debt so that you trade/invest.


3 - A written money management program in place. .


4 – A full and complete understanding of the rules %26amp; regulations of the industry.





Judging by the wording of your question, you have a long way to go before you invest in any security, the first investment you should make is in yourself, and the best investment you can make is by educating yourself.





Start your education by learning why you should invest and the importance of being able to make your own decisions or how the pro’s make theirs.

Making money in the market is not difficult, but if you don't understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how to do it, you'll find loosing money in the market is very easy/
it depends on how much time you have. just live like a pauper and throw all your money in the stock market. when you die you can have a golden tombstone.
There are hundreds of ways to play the stock market and there is no best way, just alot of bad ways.
I´ve been investing for more than 20 years and trading for almost 14, and I can tell you that if you want to make BIG and FAST profits, I recommend you trading rather than investing, trading can help you to go from rags to rich.


If you are investing, you must have already achieved some degree of financial success, long term stock investing and FOREX can help you to diversify your money and become much richer than you are today.





My experiences as a Nasdaq Market Maker, Head trader of several brokerage firms, and currently as a professional trader and private hedge fund manager, I can suggest you that:


We trade because we want quick, short term profits on a consistent basis. We want to cash flow the market. Milk it like a cow.





Make consistent, small, short term gains rather than trying to hit a home run on every trade. Don't ever forget that.





Don't marry a stock, marry the idea of making money trading stocks. That's the only way to do it.





For me ';All stocks are equally worthless”





I don't hold on to any illusion that the stock market will continue to go up and provide a nice retirement for me.





I could care less which way the market goes. It's irrelevant to me if the market goes higher, crashes or moves sideways for the next 50 years. I really could care less. Stocks are just four letters with two prices next to them that I use to make a living trading.





Trade ONLY when you have a clear, easy and identifiable advantage, because without a CLEAR EDGE your odds of success are NO better than a flip of a coin… That´s why so many new traders (and investors) lose money.





Take a look at any daily chart of any index or stock and you'll probably see the most volatility and the biggest opportunity for profit during the first Hour of the stock market's opening.





The popular thinking and conventional wisdom is that you should wait about an hour before you start trading.





But if you do, you'll miss the big, fast moves that stocks make as all the amateurs let their emotions out through their online accounts, usually right after they read some news headline or hear Maria Bartiromo go off about a stock on CNBC.





It's easy to see why trading the open is the market's prime time for profiting from other online traders.





The market's open is very volatile - that is the perfect environment for LARGE, FAST profits.





Learn to trade as a professional Market Maker, not as an emotionally driven amateur trader or investor with few thousand dollars in an account at Etrade.





There isn't any other time during the day or any stock you can invest in, that can make you 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 or more points in minutes OTHER than during the first hour the stock market is open, that means: if you are buying or selling short a 1000 shares per transaction, you´ll make $1000,$2000,$3000,$5000 or $7000 Usd ';IN MINUTES !!!'; not in a day, not in a week, not in a month or in a year, in less than 60 minutes... That's why I love trading the open so much.





I trade only when I have an edge and that means ';only the first hour the market is open';.





If you are a beginning trader, you can give yourself an unfair advantage in the market trading this way.





I can carry on for hours on how to make money trading online, but if you ask me:





';What is your best advise?





I will say:





Give yourself a BIG favor and go to this ';Top Secret'; site and learn how to get by yourself the BEST stocks that will make the largest and fastest day trading profits you´ve ever seen.





www.onehourtrading.com





After you review this site you won´t need any system, strategy, book, software, guru or mentor to tell you what to do, you will be able to profit HUGE every day.





Besides, you´ll learn:





• The right amount of money to start trading…


• The best Online broker out there…


• Learn how to enter and exit a trade in seconds making Huge profits…


• Make more money than most day traders simply by trading one hour a day!!!


• How to reduce stress, limit risk and stay disciplined like a Pro.


• The 4 basic rules you should know, that every successful trader know, and amateurs don´t even imagine.


• How to trade against the amateurs and avoid like the plague doing it against the professionals , and why this will put you ONE STEP AHEAD of all traders.


• What causes more devastating trading loses than any other factor... and... How to avoid this pitfall! (Even savvy traders often fall victim to this! )


• Not to spend most of your day in front of a computer dealing with complex charts, software or technical analysis.


• Learn how to read the market´s open to make a huge profit just a few minutes after the opening bell.





All this and a lot more…





Good luck and good trading,

What is the best strategy to eat a tomato as a piece of fruit without making a mess?

';as a piece of fruit'; meaning without cutlery of plate, the aim being to minimise spillage and keep hands as clean as possible.What is the best strategy to eat a tomato as a piece of fruit without making a mess?
I like to poke a small hole in the tomato with a fingernail or tooth to get it started, then suck out the juicy part, chew some of the flesh, suck more juice. The trick is to maintain the rhythm so the juice doesn't drip out....but I have to tell you, in the summer, a tomato right off the vine? Who cares if it dribbles. There's nothing like it. Just chomp it like an apple and go take a shower after. Or run through the sprinkler.What is the best strategy to eat a tomato as a piece of fruit without making a mess?
Strip off your clothes, and climb into the shower, with a mater in one hand, and a salt shaker in the other, I suppose.





Most of the time, though, I'm wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt, and I'm in the back yard. Who cares if I make a mess? Everything (including me) is drip dry, and it's nice to have an excuse to be hosed down with cold water on a hot sunny day.
The only way I know is with a lot of paper towels. But I love them juicy red tomatoes when they're in season, like right now. Maybe you should just buy V-8 or tomato juice if you're all worried about the mess they make.
Get sharp knife. Slice into sections.


Eat mouthful at a time.
suck the juices as you bite down on it (:
use a heavy duty paper towel and suck in when you bite in, my husband did this with the first tomato of the season every year... YUM!
suck a big tomato with a straw:)
Not all the fruits can be eaten without the aid of cutlery. Take for example, an avocado or a pineapple.





Try Cherry Tomatoes, they can be eaten as grapes!!!





Probably this is as close as you will get, using your interpretation of ';as a piece of fruit';.
have another
Small bites and maintain suction with the lips sealed around the bite area when you sink your teeth in.
Go with the smaller cherry tomoatos...same flavor - no mess. You can put the whole thing in your mouth at once.

  • Is laser teeth whitening better at making the teeth white as compared to the trays the dentists give?

    I had the trays once but they didnt make the entire tooth white, as if the product didnt cover the entire tooth, it wasnt uniform. will the laser (i think its laser), the one time whitening be better at making the teeth all white?Is laser teeth whitening better at making the teeth white as compared to the trays the dentists give?
    It's a heck lot more precise, quicker, safer and better than chemical whitening. It's like the ultimate whitening product. The only issue is it's too darn expensive.





    Make sure you use decent whitening toothpastes to maintain it afterwards.Is laser teeth whitening better at making the teeth white as compared to the trays the dentists give?
    There is no credible scientific evidence that suggests lasers whiten teeth better than trays. Save your money. You might need to have your trays remade so that they fit better and keep the peroxide in contact with the tooth longer. As with any other product people use to improve their appearance: ';Results will vary';
    I always tend to stay away from such expensive methods and some Dentists say that such methods can harm you in a long run. The best way to keep your teeth white is by using some nice and cheap method like Dazzle White. I ordered a few samples for my wife and I can see the difference in her teeth. It works unlike many other products.





    BTW, if you want to order some free samples...you can get them from http://www.getfreebs.com/free-samples-of鈥?/a> You just need to pay small shipping charges.
    The best procedure now is ZOOM in office laser treatment. It is safest for teeth and most effective, but expensive.

    I'm glad you are going to see an attorney and not attempt to do this without a consultation. I'm not sure what state you live in. It may affect how your will will be written. Also, you may consider a living trust etc. depending on your situation.


    Bring the following to your appointment: 1. Asset inventory. 2. identify your family relationships. 3. Copies of your statements, deeds, etc., 4. Identify any will witnesses that you want (someone disinterested that could testify in probate that you were competent when you signed the will). 5.

For your asset inventory, write down headings and details for each asset that you own in part or wholly own. For example, 1. REAL PROPERTY (give the address and identify your interest and all owners and how you own it), 2. BANK ACCOUNTS (bank address, account owners, etc.), 3. SAFE DEPOSIT BOX, 4.

    How do I prevent myself from making foolish mistakes while taking a test?

    I tend to do that alot.How do I prevent myself from making foolish mistakes while taking a test?
    The best way I have found to avoid silly mistakes is to check my work thoroughly.





    I check each answer as soon as I finish it. I make sure that I have some time left after completing all the questions so that I can review all of my answers again, trying to look at all the details to see if I made any of these little errors.





    It is also helpful to get enough sleep the night before, and to prepare for the test thoroughly, and to be as relaxed as possible before and during the test.





    So allow yourself at least an hour of relaxation time before the test to walk, or meditate, or listen to music--whatever relaxes you. Anxiety causes us to miss details and say things we don't intend, so relaxation really helps.How do I prevent myself from making foolish mistakes while taking a test?
    Well, when I was in hi-school and college, what worked for me was:


    (1) If you believe in God, pray before taking the test. It helps.


    (2) Make sure you've prepared by doing your homework each day/week. Try to do similar examples (to what you think will be on the test) before you have to take the test... You don't want to have to contend with new, unfamiliar concepts and problems you've never seen before on test day!


    (3) Don't wait until the night before the test to start studying.





    If you've worked through enough similar examples and/or problems during practice, then you'll have the confidence you need to go in there and do a ';bang-up-job'; on the test.





    Best of luck.

    How do you make bourbon-soaked fudge without making the fudge soggy?

    Is there a special recipe, or do I add it to an existing recipe?How do you make bourbon-soaked fudge without making the fudge soggy?
    If you have a good fudge recipe already, I'd make the fudge up as usual. IWait until about 30 minutes before serving and then spread the desired amount of bourbon over the top of the pan.





    For a 9x16 I'd use shot glasses to douse about 6 or 7 shots onto the fudge. Brush it if you have a basting brush or just lightly use a ruberber spat. Cover.





    Not only should the NOT make the fudge gooey (except on the top) but it should preserve most of the alcohol too. ;) If you don't want the alcohol, spread it on 3 hours before serving and let it stand openHow do you make bourbon-soaked fudge without making the fudge soggy?

    What is the best machine for making espresso at home and how difficult is it to use?

    the best machines are pump driven. steam driven machines will not make a high quality shot. they can get pretty expensive. most are pretty easy to use. you just need to put finely ground espresso into the portafilter, tamp it, attach it to the machine and pull the shot. there are also super automatic machines which grind, tamp brew and clean up with the push of a button. these are the easiest to use, and will make a consistent shot. but the cost the most, and have the least amount of user control.What is the best machine for making espresso at home and how difficult is it to use?

And to the ';popular group'; CPS is not an inside joke. It stands Child Protective Services which where your children belong!!!!!!
    Daniels Mom said it great!





    Our letters shouldnt be bothering anyone. Its just for fun! Anyone can Email me if they ever want to about my letters. We are not excluding anyone! We welcome anyone to come over to our chat at mommamatterz! Were also having fun/goofing off over there!
    clogging the site? last I checked, no one who has an abbreviation actually posted a question regarding the abbreviations. these questions are clogging the site.





    like the site could get clogged anyways. eww.
    It is no different then trolls like yourself clogging this site with crap questions.


    There is nothing wrong with abbreviations...it is not clogging anything but their screen name. Get over it.
    They are not doing anyone any harm. It's just a couple of letters. Seriously people need to stop worrying so much about what other people do with their names on this site. It's just the internet.
    Maybe some people find your name offensive or useless but since no one is personally attacking you, I don't see why your wasting your time w/it!
    You didn't even spell the site name right...





    And as an edit, they're *acronyms* not abreviations!
    You didn't spell the name right AND are upset about the letters because you don't know you alphabet?
    Huh?





    Aren't you the same by posting stupid *** questions? Yes. Soo, shh.
    They have nothing better to do.
    Go away.
    Oh yeah, there should be one about you....
    I don't know. I think it's suppose to be funny or something?
    Whine more.
    It doesn't bother me.
    Why do you care???
    They can mean different things to everyone!


    Mine could mean Seths wife is a barbie or it could mean something else..... Its not yours, so don't worry about it.








    What does it matter?

    How much money are average people making from owning vending machines?

    I say average because i dont really want to know about the major players, i'm trying to make some money on the side so i'm starting off on a small scale and i was thinking of purchasing a beverage machine.How much money are average people making from owning vending machines?
    I started with nothing and in 1 year had 230 machines out making a net profit of $7000 mo. Check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SPsKRe2GToHow much money are average people making from owning vending machines?
    This probably wont be your best answer but it all depends on location.


    Having a beverage machine in the right place could mean the difference between 5 sales a day to 100. You need to make sure it is in a high traffic and easily accessible area. Once you have a location you need to verify that it is O.K. to set up a vending machine there. Then research the cost of the machine and then how much it is going to cost you in stock for the machine. get to the point where you can estimate how much it cost you to make a sale. (like how much does each can of soda cost you.)





    Once you know that number you will know roughly how many sales you will need to make before you can make your money back on the machine. An example would be if a soda vending machine cost you $1000 and you are selling cans of soda at .50 cents but each can costs you .25 cents. you are going to have to sell 4000 cans of soda before you are even making any money.





    Research the area, figure out the traffic volume and look for competitors near by. Most people I know making more than a little pocket change on vending machines usually have quite a few... not just one.





    Location is your biggest thing. Even if you are placing it in a room. different sides of the room could change the amount of money you make. Placing it by the entrance and exit door could earn you more money than in the back corner. It seems kind of odd but it is true.

    Is there an internet based money making program that actually works?

    There are 100 infomercials out there about internet based business programs. Has anyone found one that actually works? I understand I'm not going to make 100k a month, but I am looking for something to fill some free time and make a little extra money. Any ideas?Is there an internet based money making program that actually works?
    http://mydataentryjobs.blogspot.comIs there an internet based money making program that actually works?
    I am currently a member of two sites, one is a Get Paid To program and another is a freelance site.





    The freelance site is called Elance, and what you do is do work for people like write them x amount of articles about the subject or design a website something like that. People on this site that do it often and get good reviews etc do make a lot of money, I think some of the top make about $50k a year, that is great imo writing articles for people =P





    It is not the easiest though, you have to make a reputation for yourself and there is a lot of competition.





    The other site that I'm a part of is the GPT site. Basically what you do is fill out free offers and surveys and they pay you. It's not as much as the Elance site, but it is easier and there is no competition. I think the top person, from what I've seen and what people posted on the site made $1800 a month.





    Heres a link to my blog more about the site, I don't have a blog made about the Elance though, their site is pretty self explanatory and have a lot of help options =)





    Hope I helped
    I'm glad to see that you're not looking for the ';get rich quick'; thing as that just isn't going to happen.





    Like you, I was looking for something to fill the void, to help out with our retirement and after many hours of searching and researching I have chosen to become an international home business trainer (see my profile for details if you'd like), but not everyone can do that so I'll make a few suggestions for you in the hopes that you find what you're looking for.





    You can become a freelancer, taking what talents you have to the Internet. You can get into advertising, knowing that the competition is fierce. You can try the ';jobs'; and ';surveys'; but that can be futile.





    What I do suggest is opening up your own on-line business where you can work from the comfort of your home and hey, with gas prices going crazy, that's a pretty good idea!





    If you think you'd like to look into this option, find something that is at the front of the market trend, preferably a company that has everything in place for you including training and support, but most importantly, find something that you're really into....be it sports, music, books, you name it.





    Once you find something that fits your criteria such as whether you want to do direct sales, carry inventory, do shipping and handling, demo parties.....or not....then make sure they're legit with the BBB. If they are, and you're excited about getting into something that you can call your own, then go for it!
    There are legitimate work from home jobs and opportunities, but the great problem is a lot of online scams label themselves as ';legitimate'; businesses.





    I would suggest that you try affiliate marketing. There's no need to buy expensive ebooks or coaching programs to learn how to do it. In fact, if you have minimum writing skills, you can write articles to promote other people's products and earn sales commissions. Get the two free reports offered on the websites listed in the source box, study them, apply what you learn and you'll be ready to start making money without outlay.
    Its possible to earn good money online through a number of different methods but it is not always as easy as the hype makes it out to be.





    There is still allot of work involved and time before any decent money is earned.





    Avoid all the scams where you need to pay to sign up to a program.





    The safest way of earning online are through adsense, blogging, ebay, affiliate selling, freelancing and some survey sites.





    There are plenty of online guides to give you free tips like http://www.my-web-business.com
    You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years
    I would suggest you can try this one...

    How do I make a table lamp weatherproof for use outdoors? I am making it from scratch.?

    I have seen retail outdoor lamps with a protective glass covering over the bulb area, to keep water away from the electrical parts of the lamp, along with a weatherproof lampshade.How do I make a table lamp weatherproof for use outdoors? I am making it from scratch.?
    You can鈥檛 (or at least you shouldn鈥檛); here鈥檚 why:





    In order for a lamp to be rated or listed for use in a wet location, it undergoes rigorous testing by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). Then, the manufacturing process is monitored by that NRTL, and the manufacturer is allowed to place the Mark of the NRTL on the product. One of the better known NRTLs is Underwriters Laboratories, Inc; most people are familiar with the UL Mark on a product, although most people who notice it don't really understand what it means.





    The National Electrical Code requires any electrical fitting, device, luminaire, or appliance to be ';listed';. This means that product is placed on a list of similar products that have also been proven to meet Product Standards that have been created in order to provide safe products for consumer use. This is an over-simplified explanation; but the end result is that using an electrical product that is not listed (or using a product in a manner contrary to its listing) puts the user at risk of injury or death.





    Most insurance companies will not pay claims for damages caused by non-listed products.





    Buy a listed lamp, it will be worth the cost to you. Without a listing, there is no way to prove a product is safe, short of paying thousands of dollars for a field evaluation.





    Sorry.How do I make a table lamp weatherproof for use outdoors? I am making it from scratch.?
    I guess you have a choice:





    - Engineer a weatherproof enclosure for the bulb, switch and electrical connections.





    Or...





    - Buy an outdoor lamp already made.





    Or...





    - Buy the weather-critical parts for an outdoor lamp (or copy the in some fashion).





    Or...





    - Buy a weatherproof outdoor light fixture and adapt it for use on a table.

    Can I sue my work for making me work in unsafe conditions?

    I work at a grocery store and the ladders are really high up, high enough to reach the top of pretty high aisles. The ladder is broken now and its really wobbly. They still make me use it since it is the only option for my job and they haven't shown any interest in solving the problem.Can I sue my work for making me work in unsafe conditions?
    Call OSHA and tell them it is an emergency situation that someone is going to seriously injure themselves. If you have an accident you can sue because of gross negligence. That would be separate from your workman's comp claim.Can I sue my work for making me work in unsafe conditions?
    Call osha





    If you are injured on the job, and can prove negligence on the part of the company (they knew the ladder was broken, but refused to fix it) you can sue them.





    You will also recieve workers compensation if injured on the job.





    Not knowing your age, but I would guess you are young?


    By law you must be provided a safe working enviroment.


    I have ran into problems like this before.


    Refusing to follow your bosses instructions can be considered insoburdination, but if by following the order you put yourself or others in danger and can prove this (take pictures of the ladder showing the defect) Refuse to use the ladder.
    I don't think you could sue them unless you got hurt, because you have the option of refusing. Besides, it would probably cost more than it is worth. What I would do, is call OSHA and inform them of what is going on. I think OSHA is short for Occupational Safety and Health Administration and they are part of the Federal Department of Labor. You should be able to find their number in the yellow page or I have provided a link at the bottom of the page. This is the name of the group which ensures that employees have safe working conditions and they will come out to investigate. They are usually pretty good about that kinda thing. Whatever you do, don't inform your employer that you are the one who dropped the dime because the company will most likely receive a hefty fine for their ladder being in this shape. You don't want your employer have a grudge against you and possibly mistreat you in the future because of it. This should get things fixed.
    Yes, only if you are injured because of a safety violation that they were already aware of. You should report this to your manager and let them know this is a safety violation.





    You should not be using any broken ladders that may cause injury to you or any customers in the store if you were to fall.





    Tell them this is a safety issue. If they continue to make you use this ladder you can report this company to OSHA. www.osha.gov or call 1-800-321-OSHA. However, your store should have a person who is in charge of safety/OSHA issues talk to them about this issue if you manager does not comply.
    As has been pointed out, you can't sue unless you have been damaged in some way, and if you knowingly use the ladder you could be partially at fault. Document everything. If you are coerced into using the ladder again and you get injured, DON'T accept Workman's Comp, because to accept WC you have to waive your right to sue. Document your hours that you work every week, and if they fire you for refusing to climb the unsafe ladder, then you have been damaged and can sue.





    For the actual details concerning your legal rights in this matter talk to a lawyer.
    You can call OSHA and report the unsafe conditions. Do so anonymously and OSHA will come in and inspect the plant, not letting anyone know that there was a report of unsafe conditions.


    The company will then be fined for any and all violations.


    At the very least, when OSHA contacts them letting them know there will be an inspection maybe that in itself will cause them to replace the ladder and any other faulty equipment.


    Good luck
    In Michigan (maybe all of the USA) we have something that protects people from unsafe work environments, OSHA. If you fell you bet your butt you'd own that grocery store. So you don't loose your job make sure and ask to use another one. If they make you use it, I have a website address to help you. They surely can't fire you for refusing. Take a picture with your cell phone if possible, or maybe a disposable camera. Just take care of #1 first. (YOU). With the economy how it is, try not to get fired, I've looked for work now for over a month with no success. So take every measure to stay safe. At the same time take notes and a picture if possible. Employers know how tough times are and a lot are taking advantage of people because there would be a replacement for you in a heartbeat. IT'S NOT FAIR BUT THE TRUTH. Lot's of luck and stay safe.
    Tell your bosses that they need to replace the broken ladder, that it is a hazard.





    You know the ladder is broken. If you get hurt, you cannot sue -- you were well aware of the problem and could have prevented your own injuries. Worker's comp might pay the medical bills (and might not since you know there is a problem), but that is all. And if you are not hurt, you have no cause for any suit.





    If they do not replace the broken ladder pronto, then call OSHA and file a complaint. They had a chance to fix the problem, so don't say another word about it at work, just file the complaint.
    Generally a person is limited to Worker's Compensation if injured on the job. You normally cannot sue your employer for a work related injury. There is one exception to that rule, and that is if your employer has created (or failed to rectify or fix)the unsafe work environment. If you have placed your boss ';on notice'; that there is an unsafe work condition, and if you are injured from that unsafe work condition (here the ladder), then YES, you would be able to sue for your injuries.
    YOU REALLY do not have to sue your own employer or the grocery store you are presently working on. IF THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY as the old saying goes, talk to your employer regarding the problem, now if they do not show any interest whatsoever then don't climb up and do NOT do it for precautionary measure unless they fix the problem, or you can suggest to buy a new ladders to be used for your grocery since this is a very valuable thing inside the grocery, they won't mind if they spent much money for buying one.





    YOU ARE PART OF THE GROCERY team therefore a suggestion or a remind from you working there would be welcome as a valuable asset for the work to be done. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO CLIMB the ladder because you might meet an accident up there. So to prevent an accident you have to give them a hint before it does. AND WHOEVER will try to use the ladder might have the same fate if they do, so if the grocery do not take action then you have the right to refuse to climb and do the job or they buy a new one.
    You need to go over the heads of your immediate supervisors-is this a chain store? Try the corporate office-human resources. I don't think you can sue if you have not made a documented report of some sort. Your supervisor could deny that you complained if it is not in writing. Proof that you went outside and beyond in your effort will give the corporate management motivation to do something or risk being libel if you are injured on the job. The poster above saying ';Call osha'; is a very good idea.
    You cannot sue until something happens-- like you falling off the ladder and being injured. I would take a picture of the ladder in its wobbly, broken conditions. Should an accident happen, they will quickly replace the ladder and say you made up the story for a suit. Now, you have the right to be proactive. Tell them you almost slipped and fell on it (which you probably already did). Tell them this ladder is unsafe.


    OR you could totally break the ladder. The part that is wobbly and totally unsafe, just help it out a little. That way, they will be forced to buy a new one. Well-- that is not being dishonest-- it is helping yourself. Toni D. ( a senior lady)
    No you can't. you can only report your issues to worksafe. You have to take a stand %26amp; inform your employer %26amp; if they will not show a interest in your safety then they are liable under the act. Be sure to put your complaint on paper %26amp; also to ask your employer who their workplace safety officer is so they are made aware also. Plus you should put a ' out of service tag on the ladder so no body else can be hurt using this . Also be aware that once you put the ';out of service tag '; on the ladder no one else is allowed to remove it under the act.
    YES! call OSHA, but in the meantime, if they still insist on you using the ladder, and God forbid you fall, THEN you can sue. Now, here's something that you may wish to mull over in your mind. If and when OSHA comes a knocking at the Grocery stores door, I don't know whether OSHA will tell the boss WHO called about the ladder, I hope they don't, because you can bet your boss will find some way to fire you!! BUT! If OSHA specifically goes for the ladder, even if they don't mention your name, your boss will know it's you, that's if he has a brain in his head!! Be careful, OK!
    A lot of this depends on the type of business you work for - small or large. You probably can't sue them if you haven't been injured, but you can take steps to get the ladder fixed.





    Take a photo of the broken ladder and put a request IN WRITING to have it fixed before you use it again. State in the request that you want to avoid injuring yourself or incurring any worker's comp expenses for the store. (Check first to make sure that your employer has worker's comp insurance - some small businesses are exempt.) Send a copy of this note to anyone in the chain of command: Human resources/personnel, worker's comp coordinator, maintenance, the corporate office in Boise, the owner's wife, whoever.





    Enlist some friends or family members - ideally, not anyone known to have a relationship to you - to come into the store and ';happen'; to notice the rickety ladder and point it out to a manager.





    Contact your local OSHA department and/or your local building inspectors. I don't know if ladders would be part of an inspection, but it's worth a shot.





    As others have said, no one can ';make'; you work in unsafe conditions - you always have the right to say no. Your safety and ability to work for the entire rest of your life vs. a paycheck this week...
    Call Osha first, see what that does and then go to the labor board, I have a sister that started working at a gas station and since then something happened to her and now she walks with crutches but the job makes her walk into the doors without them and she has to hold on to things, they failed to accomadate her partial disabilty and ignore what the doctor orders, they are more upset that she can not cover her shift then her pain. So Basically it sounds as though you need to bring this to there attention in writting make sure you make copies of the letter try and make three attempt but call osha


    if you have already taken those steps its time to get the labor board involved they are not there for after the fact they are also there for before anything happens, the store is not worried because nothing has happened but they are putting you in danger and by writing a letter to them telling them that the ladder needs to be replaced then they are fully aware that not only they are putting you in danger but they know about it


    I would also seek an attorney because this deals with a store that posssible knows that ladder is broke but they are allowing you to still get on it which to me says that they don't care if I were you write those letters and refuse to continue your job if it involves the ladder if they fire you because you refuse you have got have proof and you have a case.








    good luck
    Since no one has offered this solution:


    Notify your employer in writing. sign and date the letter and hand it to your supervisor in front of witnesses. It should express concern not only about yourself but also about you/it falling on a customer. Your objective is to get them to spend for a new ladder. When they realize that you have documentation that if combined with a injured customer they could loose the business. They will splurge and get a new ladder and might even consider you conscientious enough to keep you. If you are discharged, it better than a broken leg.
    Get in touch with OSHA @





    www.osha.gov


    Any employee that feels that an employer is ignoring unsafe working conditions can order an investigation. If the employer retaliates, you can possibly sue.


    My advice would be to contact OSHA. Be prepared to make a ';paper trail';. This means, list everyone you talk to. Make notes of whom you spoke with, when, and where.


    If you have notified management of the ladder conditions, write down as much as you can about what was said and when it was said.


    This will make it easier to keep up with exactly what happened later if an accident occurs. If it comes to a lawsuit, you will be questioned as to WHY you continued to use the ladder after you realized that it was unsafe. Personal responsibility goes a long way. An employer cannot force you to perform unsafe acts.
    No one can make you do anything, unless they have a gun to your head, of course. You have a duty to protect yourself by refusing to use the ladder. When you refuse, they can fire you. Then you will have a lawsuit. Otherwise, you can wait to be hurt while using it and sue. Right now, you have not been harmed, so you can't sue.





    Because you are aware of the risks you are taking, you are also responsible for anything that happens to you. You can be fined personally by OSHA for using the ladder. You are as guilty as your employer. Personal responsibility is your personal responsibility. You can't throw your hands up and say, 'they made me do it'. That doesn't fly.
    You can refuse to work in an unsafe condition and request the employer to replace the ladder...Stating that you are afraid of injuring yourself from using faulty equipment....If your boss is an idiot then just get rid of the ladder without his knowing and ask where it is when you can't find it.....Of course never letting on that you got rid of the defective ladder. There may be a suspicion but no proof and with the new ladder coming into play the issue will die. A little touchy maybe if your the only one that uses the ladder.





    The only suing you can do is the workers comp. ins. carrier after you have been injured.





    There is an anonymous reporting form for OSHA you can use if they still support it's use.. OSHA has to call the employer to make an apt. when they can come to the place of your work . So now if you are the only one that has been complaining about the ladder then they will know...
    in any such lawsuit, YOU, have the first responsibility to do everything possible to keep YOURSELF safe.


    If you can't prove that your boss forced you to climb that ladder or else be fired, you will lose your lawsuit. If you knowingly climb a broken ladder without properly telling your boss, it's YOUR fault if you get hurt.





    If your boss KNOWS the ladder is broken and threatens to fire you if you don't use it, then you will win the lawsuit.


    It's YOUR DUTY to make sure your boss knows the full extent of the problem. ANd it's your DUTY to NOT USE THE LADDER.
    Call OSHA and ask them to do an unannounced visit. The ladder problem may be gone by then but I am sure they will find something else. Also the only way to sue is if you get hurt. You could refuse to use that ladder and they may fire you but then you would also have a case. Make sure if you do the last option you get pictures of the ladder and where you have to use it.
    Tell them that the ladder is broken





    speak to the supervisor or manager





    and that you want it repaired fixed,





    and that you are unwilling to use it





    as this is very dangerous and you





    could get hurt.





    Be Firm, and repeat if necessary!!!





    You do not have to use a ladder in





    an environment that can do you Harm.





    That is the Law.
    Call the labor board and Osha, and do not mention it to them at work. Don't tell them you called or threaten to sue them that will only get your hours cut or get you terminated. As far as legal action an atorney will probably not pick up this case because there would not be any money in it for them They usually want someone who is already hurt, and the worse the injury the better they like it, however even if you were hurt workers comp would get your employers off the hook. Now if you happened to be up on the wobley ladder and drop a 80 pound box down on a customer the customer could take that company to the cleaners.
    Your employer is in breach of Health and Safety Regulations(HSE). These are U.K regs. If you are in a Union contact your rep.

    If the ladder is unsafe you simply refuse to use it. If this is the only one then they will have to supply you with another that is safe to get the job done. Not your problem.
    RIGHT TO REFUSE UNSAFE WORK.





    It's law in Canada. Although perhaps filed different by province. Every single Occupational Health and Safety(OHS) group will have this exact thing covered.





    (In BC It's Worksafe BC)





    Employers are required to provide safe working enviroment. If you have to scale a ladder more than 3 meters above the floor they're required to make provisions for fall arrest, train you in the use of fall arrest equipment or provide some form of access that has rails and stairs.
    Calling OSHA is your remedy. You can refuse to work under unsafe conditions, but you would need to have a slam dunk for an OSHA violation to be issued. If you get injured, workmen's comp is your only remedy, as it is unlikely you could proceed with a 3rd party suit against the ladder mfr.
    Take pictures of the ladder showing the damage to it.





    Say to your Boss ';I refuse to use this ladder until it is repaired or replaced.';





    Show him/her pictures you have taken and explain the dangers of using unsafe ladders';





    He/She can NOT fire you for for refusing to use unsafe equipment.





    Ladders are dangerous enough with out any damage at all.
    In the uk you can sue if you can show loss or injury.


    You can refuse to use it but you know the complications that that will bring. You can phone the HSA (health and safety agency) Or alternatively get the phone number out of the book for your local ACAS office and have an informal chat with them. If you refuse you may have need of their services anyway.ACAS are totally confidential. Then join the GMB union
    Not really,





    If you want the truth, you have a choice.





    Continue to use the ladder provided and keep your job.





    Or keep complaining or go to osha and lose your job.





    In which case, you might as well just go find another job now.





    ......................................鈥?br>




    People who sue thier employer or turn them in to agencies like osha,





    Do not keep thier jobs for long.





    It might not be right, but thats reality.
    well you could if it doesnt meet state requirements and i dont think a wobbly ladder meets state requirements. that is putting you in danger and could cause serious injury. Talk to the manager calmly and if the problem is not fixed, get an attorney and so for endangerment of injury. good luck

    Final Cut Studio -


    This is what I use. It is fantastic. It is a package of 5 or 6 different programs that encompass each stage of making a movie. Sure, it's a bit pricey. But it is definitely worth it! Plus, Apple gives huge educational discounts. That's how I got mine for so cheap.

    I have heard that this is very much like Final Cut, but it's for windows. That's all I can tell you. Sorry. I do know for a fact that it is the best. :D





    If you're not willing to shell out so much money (although it's more than worth it), this may help you: A study was done on some of the less expensive products to see which were the best. You will notice that they are all for Windows computers. This is an sign that most of them aren't great. Macs were basically built to make movies on. Windows computers were made for programming.

    So you don't drink at all? That's good. I actually don't drink either.





    However, I don't have a problem with people drinking -- in moderation. But to blame the manufacturer is like saying guns kill people. So I can blame my typos on my keyboard, right?
    While I admire your motives, it is unrealistic to suggest stopping the production of alcohol-we already tried that in the 1930s and it didn't work.
    Yes. I enjoy alcoholic beverages in moderation.





    The medical evidence is that one or two drinks a day are beneficial to the health.
    People have to have acountability. Why blame the drug, when you should blame the abuser.

    Do you boil potatoes first for making roast potatoes?

    If you are supposed to, how long should you boil them for?Do you boil potatoes first for making roast potatoes?
    No ... would be fairly messy with all the cooked potato starch to deal with. Preheat oven to 350. Put olive (or vegetable) oil in a low-sided cookie sheet (enough to make sure the bottom is lubricated), put the potatoes in the pan and flip them around a bit to cover. Then, add your choice of seasonings. Put in the oven for a total of 45 minutes (less if potato pieces are smaller). You want to flip them once during cooking so you get even browning.Do you boil potatoes first for making roast potatoes?
    I peel them, cut them in half, dip them in melted butter, place them on a cookie sheet and bake them until they are just about fork tender. Then I baste them again with butter, sprinkle with paprika and shredded parmesan cheese and bake until the cheese browns lightly.





    If I'm cooking them in with my roast, I just put them - quartered, in with chopped carrots and quartered onions right along side of the roast.
    The best way to roast potatoes in my opinion is in a foil pouch on the grill. You do not have to boil them first. Add seasoned salt, thyme, rosemary, garlic and REAL butter. Put a hole in the pouch and add the butter slowly through the cooking process. This will ensure the butter does not burn. Use olive oil instead if desired.
    I dont I just chop them up and put some oil and seasoning on them and pop em in the oven.





    I guess it may cut down on cooking time if you do tho. I wouldnt cook them for very long, just enough to barely soften them up.. 5 -10 minutes?
    No. Add salt, pepper, sprinkle it w/ lemon, and then you can put it in the oven. Then it will be roasted!
    no, just sprinkle with salt, pepper and some olive oil, maybe some rosemary and toss.....place on the sheet pan and roast at about 350......maybe for an 1/2 hour or more....
    you can , but they won't brown as good, just put them around the roast, ladle the drippings over them.
    How about a short video?
    That or nuke them then it wont take them that long to roast them
    I don't, they turn out pretty well.

    What kind of limitations are there for making a parenting plan?

    My ex and i are going to a mediator to talk about and make parenting plan. I was wondering if i can have things like ';he can't see the baby if the child support is not paid'; ';He must have his own diaper bag and a playpen for the William to at least sleep in when he has him';





    Can i put these kind if things in?What kind of limitations are there for making a parenting plan?
    Good for you for seeing a mediator. Your rule about the diaper bag and playpen are exactly the sort of things you should discuss.





    I would advise being a little more tactful about the child support issue. Obviously, if your ex isn't paying child support you should pursue legal action to make him pay you. But refusing to let him see his child is not as productive as having a judge evaluate his non-payment of child support.

If you freeze frame good movies you can apply this grid theory to it almost all the time. basically it is a tic tac toe grid,...if you follow the theory regularly it puts interest in the viewing. your subject should not be centered in the middle of the screen the entire time. look it up not enough room to explain.

    How is the new south park episode making fun of high school musical 3?

    I have never seen any of these movies. Is the guy who keeps slapping people someone from the movie and what does slapping people have to do with him? Who is the girl with the pig nose that they show while they watch the movie? Is the girl that they show walking with the black person in the cafateria the girl that had the nude pictures online? And who is brydan in the movie?How is the new south park episode making fun of high school musical 3?
    My daughter watches the movies all of the time. I didn't get to catch the first part of the show, but here is what I cought.





    Brydon is supposed to be Zack Effron, but he secretly likes sports and is supposed to dance, the opposite of the movie.





    His dad in Southpark is supposed to be the opposite of his dad in the movie. In the movie his dad didn't want him to sing. How is the new south park episode making fun of high school musical 3?
    I haven't seen the movies either but if you listen closely they are singing about the status quo which would account for the one black guy and one fat girl in the scene. I can't help you with the other two.

  • Making German Chocolate cake and don't have the vegetable oil .. what can I substitute it with?

    Stores are closed and I need it made for a work party tomorrow. I have olive oil and butter? Am I screwed or what?Making German Chocolate cake and don't have the vegetable oil .. what can I substitute it with?
    Melted butter, it will improve the flavor. Or if no butter, you can use melted margarine or shortening.





    If you have any other type of oil other than vegetable oil on hand - like olive or peanut oil, you can use those. I wouldn't use coconut unless it is expeller pressed or your cake will taste like coconut.





    Butter-shortening-oil can be substituted for each other at equal measures. If the recipe calls for oil, you will want to melt the butter or shortening first.





    Apple sauce is a good option if none of the others are available - BUT reduce sugar, as apple sauce is sweet and will make your recipe sweeter. Also, the applesauce will make the cake lighter and a bit more crumbly, not as rich and moist.Making German Chocolate cake and don't have the vegetable oil .. what can I substitute it with?
    If it's a box mix try this substitute for oil:


    3/4 cup water

    Butter will make it a bit drier so use 1/2 a stick more than the recipe calls for. Definitely no olive oil...it's for savory items, not sweet ones.
    The melted butter would be delicious and work fine!

    Making a wedding cake for 75. What size cake pans do I need?

    Thinking I wouldn't want no more than three tiers. I already have 10'; 9'; and 8'; pans so if some of those could be Incorporated, that would be nice.Making a wedding cake for 75. What size cake pans do I need?
    Use XL.Making a wedding cake for 75. What size cake pans do I need?
    Three tiers is generally what you would want to use anyways. Have you made a wedding cake before? It's not that hard. Go to AC Moore or any other local craft supply store to get the parts for the tiers. You can also buy fake flowers to put on it. If you already have those 3 sizes, speak with the bride and see if that would be okay with her. No sense spending money on bigger pans when you already have 3 going from big to small. What I'd also do though, is make a mini cake for the bride and groom to save and freeze, which they eat on their one year anniversary.





    Who is getting married? Congrats to the groom (for some reason you aren't supposed to say it to the bride)

    God I don't remember Rosie, we lived in the city then. But I think it was under $15k. He did the work himself - except for the shingling, plus there wasn't a foundation involved. Labor, foundation pouring, and plumbing are all very expensive. So depending on how handy your husband is, and what the addition involves, it will affect your price.
