| I'm trying to get a bottle of wine for my mom for Christmas, but idk anything about wine. Anyone have any suggestions? |
-GOAT- said: I'm trying to get a bottle of wine for my mom for Christmas, but idk anything about wine. Anyone have any suggestions? I could suggest further if you would tell me which wine you are more leaning on: Red or white? Both go well for Christmas. |
-GOAT- said: The older the wine, the better. I am not talking about days, I am talking about years. Something like 10 years old wine would be perfect for the occasion.I'm trying to get a bottle of wine for my mom for Christmas, but idk anything about wine. Anyone have any suggestions? |

-GOAT- said: If you want to get her wine, ask someone who knows her and would know about wine. I'm trying to get a bottle of wine for my mom for Christmas, but idk anything about wine. Anyone have any suggestions? Here are a few other random suggestions: If she likes reading, you could get her a book. goodreads would be a decent place to look for recommendations. If she likes tea, you could go to tea place and get her some quality stuff. |

-GOAT- said: I'm trying to get a bottle of wine for my mom for Christmas, but idk anything about wine. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't know much about wines either, but Drops of God may help you on that regard. That's as much as I can do for you, I'm afraid. Well... at least until I actually decide to start drinking. |

Shuryukan said: True. It really doesn't matter what you eat, it's about portion size and how much you exercise. You could easily lose weight eating nothing but fast food, as long you control the portions and exercise enough.dblbch said: actually eating less isn't too beneficial on getting fit, but more exercise definitely helps ^^xJapaliicious said: wanna get fit, but too lazy for tips pls Eat less, exercise more? |

I plan on building muscles only next year. Do you want to lose body WEIGHT or body FAT? Muscles are heavier than fat. Building muscle is a great way to lose body fat. Make sure to eat your protein~ |

I plan on building muscles only next year. for losing weight, i belive it is better to work out not as hard, but more often. (dumbbells, jogs, etc.) for building muscle, i believe it is better to work harder. (benching, pushups, squats, etc.) |

I plan on building muscles only next year. Do cardio running....... hook up an ipod and go running on a treadmill or outside. I literally can't exercise without me music :3 some light lifting will also help you lose weight, but if you aren't focused on bulking up you can keep it to a minimal or skip it entirely change your diet. carbs are evil :3 No more soda and all that junk. Try to spread out your meals if you are a big meal eater. |
xJapaliicious said: That's about my plan too.Vudis said: Do you want to build muscles or lose weight? If you just want to build muscles there's no going around exercising. First, I want to lose weight. I plan on building muscles only next year. I'm going with quite an unusual way to lose weight so it might not be for you. I've been living vegan (well 95% of the time) since end of September and lost 7 kg since then. I don't do any sports though except from riding bike occasionally. I'd definitely recommend picking up jogging. It's a great way to build stamina which you'll need to do other stuff to build up muscles later on. |
xJapaliicious said: it is perfectly fine drinking some soda while trying to lose weight, just not an excessive amount, where it's more than what u can exercise off.@my question Yeah, looks like no more soda for this xmas and running every day at morning :o water works best for everything though ^^ |
|
| Just like the others said, overdoing it with the workout will probably go nowhere. You're likely to lose your pace after 2 weeks and might not want to do anything anymore. I know because it happened to me. |

Just make sure you don't take a permanent break LOL XD |
| My room smells like odd, but I can't identify where or why it smells that way. I've done the laundry every week, washed my sheets, and even vacuum'd the floor every now and then. But every time I enter it, there's this consistent "odor", not overpowering but noticeable for 3 minutes and then my nose ignores it. So far I've tried Air Wick'ing the entire room with this delicious apple strudel smell, but that fades away just as fast. Help. |
| I'm sniffing straight into it, but it's mostly nothing. I only throw paper/office-based junk in there, since a real trash can's a few steps outside. |

Candor said: That sounds like a good idea. I've been wondering whether air conditioner counts, but I'll do it when the whether doesn't freeze my ass off. Does airing your room remove the odor, or just temporarily mask it?Tried opening the windows and airing the room? Olveparty said: Oh no, I can smell myself just fine. And like I said, it's only in my own room, so I don't know what's causing it.Take a shower, I've had the same problem, but taking a quick shower fixed it. |
| Do you have any pets who might have left a 'surprise' somewhere Mellow? ^^ Aside from that I can also only think of the trashcan which is the usual culprit when my room smells. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| get some of that stuff you spray in the air. u know, the stuff i can't remember the name of b/c my room smells of lovely girly things ^^ |
| Is there a possibility that some unscrupulous friends did something to your room that would have caused this odor? How long has the odor been there? |
daintybiscuit said: Yeah, I've been using Air Wick (which I'm quickly assuming is a lousy brand) to hide the smell. Compared to other brands on the shelf, it never claimed to "eliminate" any odors, so maybe that's the problem. I guess I'll cave in and buy Febreeze, ugh.get some of that stuff you spray in the air. u know, the stuff i can't remember the name of b/c my room smells of lovely girly things ^^ Higashi_no_Kaze said: Pets in an apartment? Ha ha. Maybe my nose is adapted to the smell right now; I'll change out the trashbag and air the room out then.Do you have any pets who might have left a 'surprise' somewhere Mellow? ^^ Aside from that I can also only think of the trashcan which is the usual culprit when my room smells. Infinite said: I leave my room unlocked, so that's not too far a possibility. But since I can't track the smell, and it's nothing overwhelmingly powerful (people don't know subtlety), I'm gonna have to rule it out. Unless my entire walls were painted in subtle stench.Is there a possibility that some unscrupulous friends did something to your room that would have caused this odor?

MellowJello said: Hmm, is your bed old? It might just be an old odor stuck in the walls or carpet or your mattress. Or maybe something in the apartment complex itself.My room smells like odd, but I can't identify where or why it smells that way.

My problem: I don't have enough confidence in my self, it has been always like that since I was young, I'm shy whenever I talk to a "girl", though I don't talk to them too much nearly never, lol, and no, I'm good looking with a fit body, it's just confidence so what should I do? |

You always sweat at night and that stays on your bed sheets. -Zeaos said: Franky, shyness isn't really something you can get help with on the internet.My problem: I don't have enough confidence in my self, it has been always like that since I was young, I'm shy whenever I talk to a "girl", though I don't talk to them too much nearly never, lol, and no, I'm good looking with a fit body, it's just confidence so what should I do? The best I can tell you is to not give it all too much thought when starting a conversation. Don't think about what the other person might think just go with the flow of the conversation. No person really dislikes talking to other people and a "pretty" person is just as normal a human as is everyone of us "normals". Mod Edit: Double post combined. |

-Linus- said: So, uhm, how do you dress? Dressing the way you like, or in clothes you like actually helps to a degree with how you view yourself. So, perhaps new clothes might help with confidence issues. Just an idea. I dress normally lol, and I've got new clothes?

No person really dislikes talking to other people and a "pretty" person is just as normal a human as is everyone of us "normals". Good idea, but I can't help it, "is she even wants to talk with me?' Candor said: First of all: act normal. Don't try to be different just for the sake of being different or to look cool, 'cause you normally make a fool out of yourself. First step: Write normally without coloring. Done that? Well, you're one step forward. 2nd: Try to be neat and look good (showering + neat and clean clothes and hair namely), or try not to look/smell bad. 3rd: Try not to think of girls only as gf-material. (Thinking of them that way would give you a lot of trouble, believe it) Think of them as normal people you'd talk to and people you'd take as friends only. 4th: Try to be open for conversations. Try to start and continue conversations. Try to feel like you're on the same level of people you're talking to, try not to think of inferiority near them, 'cause you're not inferior to them. (For more helpful tips try Wikihow. Yes, Wikihow. It might sound weird, but those tips can do a big change to your life and how you see things. Type "conversation" and see what you'd get) That should probably help a bit. The rest is for you to figure out. First, thanks for your advices, second, I won't "stop" writing in color, I don't see any problem in that, third, might be not acting normal and not being open for conversations are my problems, I mean I'm not the type of guy who likes to show off and look cool, I'm not that social either, fourth, trust me when it comes to neatness even girls can't compete with me (I'm not gay), last, thanks again. |

| you don't need an old wine to be hot shit pick something reasonably priced, say 18 - 20 dollars talk to the guys at the store. if its a decent establishment, they really can help i suggest something like a Gabbiano Chianti. (for example) Thats just the sort of thing i would pick |
| In my limited experience with alcohol, I've found that two buck chucks can taste just as nice as some pricier deals. There's a well recorded sham (*cough* consumer idiocy) where lower-priced drinks barely made any sales, but as soon as the winery raised the bottle's price, they instantly sold out. Best example: Vodka. |

Best example: Vodka. Idk, but there's a difference between the 4€ bottles and the 12€ bottles. Ask anyone I know xD. The principle is true though. Also who had the idea that old wine=better? It's not Whiskey. There are good years for wine, but they don't change depending on age. Wines from a good year just become more expensive over time because they get rarer. But 2006 was a great year for austrian wine and those wines were delicious in 2007 and are still delicious and will still be in 20 years. The price will change, but not the taste. |
