Questions About How To Get Rid Of Fruit Flies In The House

David asks…

HOw to get rid of house flies and fruit flies?

Are house in infested with house flies and they are driving me nuts. The house is clean no food or poop laying around. Dishes are all clean. We also have fruit flies they are surrounding the Guinea pig cage which is clean just cleaned the cage and the pigs yesterday. And the same with the hamster cage. I need to know how to get rid of them?
I have the sticky traps up to catch the them

admin answers:

They make traps that attract and catch them. Do not seem to work the best but they do work. Have you looked to make sure some of the fruit flies are not a swarm of termites in the stage of looking for a new place? If the windows are open with no screens it will be hard to not get the flies in where it is cooler.

Paul asks…

How can I get rid of fruit flies in the house? (Sydney area)?

Those annoying pesky little things - they fly so slow and you can't catch them. They buzz around any food stuffs, not just fruit. When I spray them with fly spray (pyretheum), they just appear to hiccup and fly off - no effect! I tried locking up everything for a few days, the minute I moved back into the unit, there they were again. Arrrgh! Help!!!

admin answers:

There must be something attracting them, it may not be fruit but one of the cleaners you are using, some are citrus based.
Are you sure they are fruit fly and not vinegar flys.
There are natural fruit fly attractants that you can use to trap them before they enter the house. Cheers

Questions About How To Cook Rice Noodles

David asks…

how do you cook rice noodles?

my friend cooked a lovely rice noodle and chicken dish(a dry dish) but when i tried to do it the noodles went all gloopy and stodgy, please could someone give me a recipe. many thanks in advance xx
pink shorts? what u talking about willis.

admin answers:

How to Cook Rice Noodles

Take the entire package of noodles (unwrapped, of course) and soak in cold water in a large, flat container like a covered casserole, for at least 30 minutes. Some packages and recipes state this is all you need to do. Don't believe them. If you like soft rice noodles, and you're not planning on cooking them in an additional recipe, do the following:

Bring a broad pot of salted water to boil. You'll be lowering your metal, hand-held strainer into it, so make sure you can reach that water. If you use a big pasta pot, you're going to have to fill it nearly to the top with water--so it would *not* be a good choice.

Right before you're ready to serve, place individual portions of the noodles in your metal, hand-held strainer. Place the strainer in the boiling water for about 20-30 seconds, stirring with chopsticks to seperate. When tender, strain the water out and serve.

George asks…

How long do I cook Rice sticks/rice noodles?

I found them in the Asian section at the store; they were the closest thing I could find to the noodles for lo mein (hope they'll work!).

But thre aren't any directions on them. It's got the product, the company, the weight of the package, and the nutrition facts, and everythings in english, chinese, and maybe Japanese. But I don't see any directions.

They;re called Royal Blossom, Chantaboon Rice Sticks. They just look like long flattened spaghetti noodles (bent in half to use a smaller package, lol).

Do I have to boil them for a while like spaghetti noodles? How long? Also, how much of the package should I use? The recipe I'm using mentions making everything else and then just "adding cooked noodles" at some point; the recipes says it's got 4 servings. How much should I make? It's a 16 oz package.

admin answers:

Just make them how you make spaghetti noodles and when they look noodley they're ready

Susan asks…

How to cook rice stick noodles and to prepare them so they taste good?

I'm a beginner vegan and don't know how to use rice sticks ...Help

admin answers:

Boil them like regular pasta. Cook until tender, then dunk into ice water to stop the cooking process. Add all kinds of veggies and maybe a veggie broth to make a nice soup.

Chris asks…

How do you cook plain rice noodles (mai fun)?

I love the texture and stickiness of rice noodles but I don't like to add meat or vegetables. How can I get a little flavor and correctly cook the rice noodles? Last time I made them, they were oily and flavorless. Thanks!

admin answers:

For plain, unadorned rice noodles, just soak in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften and then boil for about 1 to 2 minutes (to cook) and drain. Now they are ready to eat as is.

Something really simple is to add with soy, sesame oil (a few drops), chopped green onins and chili paste (optional) or you can stir fry some toppings and pour atop the cooked rice noodles.

Add what flavors you like or add to soup.

Richard asks…

how do you store cooked rice noodles?

i am looking at rice noodles for pad thai receipies as these noodles tend to soak all the water any ways to stpre it cooked

admin answers:

I freeze the rice in a 'freezer friendly' container or a zip-lock bag. It can stay there for about 2 to 3 weeks and when I warm it, it is still as good as fresh.

Laura asks…

How to flirt with your boyfriend at the movies without going to far or being nasty?

& im 14 so I dont want to go far?

admin answers:

Why not try something simple like whispering in his hear that you love him and then look at him after and see his face reaction, then maybe snog him at that point? If you wish to push it that bit further then while your snogging him why not rub your hand over his private parts on the top of his jeans?

Just go with the flow and use your imagination.

How to turn on cookies in Safari?

I need to turn the cookies on in order to take a test on SparkNotes (http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/newsat/powertactics/) I keep clicking the test under part one but keep getting this page (http://testprep.sparknotes.com/nocookies.html). I've already gone into my preferences and turned the cookies to Always and then to "When I go there" or whatever. And JavaScript is enabled. I'm getting pretty frustrated with this. I've been looking for an answer on google for about 30 mins. This is a winter homework assignment so any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks!
Yes, I have a Mac Mini :)

admin answers:

Im only guessing. I only know if you have a mac

On ur dock, click on the icon while holding the apple () key. It will show you safari in finder. Click safari (in the finder) while holding down the control (ctrl) button (basically right cliking it) press "get info". Under general there is a check box that says "open using Rosseta". If it is checked then uncheck it. If it isnt checked then check it.

Im not sure if it will work on not. Its just a guess. Best of luck!

Jenny asks…

How do I get Facebook to work with Safari for my iPhone 4?

I type in my e-mail and password but then it goes back to the log in right whre I started. I have enabled the cookies both "always" and "from visited." I have turned off the pop up blocker. I have reset my phone. I know that my phone has no problems. Can someone give me a tip? Also, I would like to add that my bro can do Facebook on Safari on his iPhone 4. He told me to just type in my e-mail and password and it didn't work. But it worked for him.

admin answers:

Have you tried resetting Safari? If not, do that. Are you sure you are typing in your email and password correctly? Not making a typo? Does signing in work on your brother's iPhone for your account? I have a feeling you are probably making a spelling error. Alternatively, you could use the Facebook app.

Questions About How To Cook Butternut Squash In Oven

James asks…

How do you cook butternut squash?

I bake it upside down in the oven but what
should I add to flavor it up and satisfy picky kids?
thanks in advance.

admin answers:

The classic is butter and brown sugar. You can also add a little oj to that, and some chopped pecans and cinnamon. OR you can use maple syrup. Bake it "meat" side up if you're doing that, or turn it up 1/2 way through baking and then add.

Mark asks…

Butternut Squash... best way to cook it soft?

I have had butternut squash a couple times, and once someone made it really soft with salt. No Sugar or sweetness. It was wonderful! How should I cook this? I have never cooked it before. I saw a recipie for cutting it in half, or cooking it in the oven whole. What makes it softer?
should i peel it? wrap in foil?

admin answers:

I am cooking some right now

Cut in half - take out seeds
Place in 8x8 baking dish
1/4 inch water in bottom of dish
Cover with saran wrap
Cook in microwave for 4 minutes
Take out unwrap (CAUTION HOT)
Place butter and brown sugar in each 1/2
Recover and cook about 3-5 min depending on how soft you want them.

Even my 10 month old grand daughter loves these - minus the sugar

Helen asks…

How do you make butternut squash?

i want to cook it in the oven. im going to mix the meat (after cooked) with brown sugar and butter.
•how long should i cook it for?
•how high should i put the heat?
•how much butter and brown sugar should i use?

10 points!

admin answers:

I cook the squash at 350F for about 45 min.

I cut it in half lengthwise and clean out the seeds (leave the peeling on). To each half add a tablespoon of butter, and generously sprinkle with brown sugar (about 1 teaspoon) and cinnamon (Maybe 1/2 Tsp) and cover with foil. Once it is baked you can serve it as is by cutting into serving pieces or remove the meat and mash adding butter and salt and pepper to taste.

Charles asks…

How do you microwave a butternut squash?

Hey Y'all, I just got a new winter and summer squash recipe in which the directions say to pierce and cook the squash in the microwave until barely tender. I'm using a butternut squash in the recipe, but I've never cooked one in the microwave and I need to know how long it might take to get to barely tender. Has anyone ever nuked a squash? How long do you think it would take? I know how to cook them in the oven, but I think this is supposed to sqeed the process because the recipe is to saute afterward. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

admin answers:

I cook butternut squash in the microwave all the time.

You can poke holes in the big end (where it's hollow) then cook for 8-10 min or so for "barely tender" (you can turn them over and reverse their direction, halfway through if you want). But you'll still end up with two problems... The small end will take longer to cook because the flesh is solid and thickest there. And secondly, the outside skin will be re-e-eally hot for awhile and hard to hold on to while you scoop out and cut the flesh into bits to saute.

So generally now, I just cut the flesh up and microwave only that (not cutting the whole squash... That's kind of difficult and dangerous). You could do the same thing, just don't microwave so long for "barely tender."

Before nuking, I peel the skin off down to the orange with a peeler (I like the Y type, but the regular type will work too).. You can lay the squash on a dish towel rather than trying to hold it with one hand if it's large.
Then I lay the naked squash on my cutting board and cut it into thick slices (disks) and remove the seeds when I get to them (here you could cut them into the shapes you want for sauteing, or you could do that after nuking). Then place them in a baking dish (covered) and microwave for 10 min or longer. (I usually then mash up with a fork and serve with butter...yum.)

Good luck!

Ken asks…

a question about how to prepare butternut squash?

ok i am looking for someone who can tell me how they make butternut squash? right now i have one butternut squash peeled and cut into chunks boiling in a large pot of water on my stove. the last time i made this vegetable i roasted it in the oven and it didnt come out too well so i am trying it this way. is it possible to make them come out whipped like mashed potatoes with the way i am cooking it now? anyone else ever boiled butternut squash before? any ideas?

admin answers:

Yes, you can prepare butternut squash just as you would mashed potatoes. Salt, pepper, a little cream and butter. When you roast butternut squash, use a high temperature i.e. 425. Keep an eye on them tossing every 5 minutes to prevent over browning.

Questions About How To Bake A Sweet Potato On The Grill

Lisa asks…

How did i eat today? Doctor wants me to gain 10 pounds?

Breakfast- 1/2 cup oatmeal with 1/2 cup of 2% milk, a handful of blueberries, 2 tablespoons of vanilla yogurt, cinnamon, a dash of granola, and 2 dates.

Snack - A kashi PB granola bar

Lunch - A Ezekiel tortilla wrapped in a heaping tablespoon of hummus, a teaspoon and a half of feta, half a tomato, onion, grilled zucchini, lettuce, and half a grilled chicken breast with celery on the side. I also snacked on random kitchen stuff while making this

Snack: half a cup of Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of granola and two strawberries, plus a teaspoon of pb with celery and half a cracker

Dinner: A chicken breast with a baked sweet potato topped with 1% cottage cheese,cinnamon,stevia, and half a teaspoon of margarine. sided with broccoli, a bit of spinach, and celery.

i'm 5'2 and a half and 89 lbs
Yea im recovering from anorexia .. its difficult and im having trouble refraining myself from feeling guilty over eating this much but i'm trying, believe me. Last night i almost got sent to the hospital due to some kidney/liver problems and it was a real eye opener. I'm only 15 and dont wanna fool around anymore.
thats awesome :) you're lucky you're 5'5 i wish i was that tall :p I have a lot of recipes ive come up with since my parents work and sometimes arent home for dinner so i end up cooking myself stuff. I heard you should eat lots of bananas,protein, good fat, and dairy to gain weight. Frozen bananas dipped in almond hazelnut butter sounds like a delicious snack :) also cottage cheese with pb, chopped celery, and grapes makes a really good satisfying snack. It sounds disgusting but its really good.

admin answers:

It sounds like you ate pretty good. Extremely healthy, but good. :)

Susan asks…

How can I eat better?

I'm a 17 year old girl, 5 foot 6, and I want to try to lose 5-10 pounds by this summer. Generally, I eat pretty healthy... I only have sweets or junk food about 1 or 2 times per week. Also, I go running about 3 times per week, and walk my dog 2-3 other times. Unfortunatley, I'm only getting about 4-5 hours of sleep per night, which might also be affecting my weight.

On a normal day, I eat:
Breakfast (6 am): 1.5 cups Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal, banana, 1 Light and Fit Yogurt, coffee (i'm always starving in the morning)
Lunch: (12 pm): Plain turkey sandwich on whole grain bread, Apple, Carrots
Snack: (4pm): 1 Cups Special K cereal, Apple/Orange,
Snack: (6pm): Hummus with Carrots
Dinner: (8pm) Grilled Chicken Breast/Salmon, Salad w/o dressing, 1/2 baked potato
Nightime: (10pm- 1am) 1-2 graham crackers, herbal tea

Any ideas for healthy substitutions or general weight loss suggestions? thanks! :)

admin answers:

Instead of honey bunches of oats, get some multi-grain cheerios. It's 100 calories per cup and they're really good. Instead of coffee, get some green tea. Drink a cup of water every hour (or at least 8 glasses per day). Eat a small snack in the morning if you can. I'm curious as to why you eat so late, I recommend you eat earlier. Try to get more sleep, that will help you so much.

Thomas asks…

Do you think that's healthy?

I don't need an advice on my 'diet' cause I've done a diet and I lost about 20 pounds, I weight about 130 and I'm 5'2, I think I need to lose 5-10 more pounds but I wanna take ALL my time, I will probably go on a very healthy and steady diet (More like a life change diet) that is going to last for four months (This SHOULD help me lose that weight!) especially that I will be exercising for two hours five times a week and I study the whole time after that!! So, my life is pretty active. I wanna go on a diet that will typically last for ages, hence I want to eat healthy but also eat ANYTHING I like and not deprive myself from my favorite food. I will consume 2000 calories a day but I will burn more than that (According to my doctors that told me 2000 calories isn't enough for me since I exercise and stuff), so this is how my diet is going to look like: By the way, when it says contains, it doesn't mean it includes all the food listed, it's more like a couple or three things out of those, but I just listed all the food that I'm going to eat for the whole time:

Breakfast: 300 calories. Contains: (Skim milk, egg, whole wheat toast, cornflakes, etc).
Snack 1: 200 calories. Contains (Apple, banana, etc).
Snack 3: 150 calories. (Whey protein milk).
Lunch: 900 calories. (Grilled chicken, roasted chicken, steaks, whole wheat bagels, baked potatoes, whole wheat pasta, Alfredo sauce, little bit of veggies with a couple tbps of olive oil).
Snack 4: 200 calories. (Coffee, tea, sweets, etc).
Snack 5: 250 calories. (Low-fat peanut butter, honey, whole wheat toast, etc).

So, what do you think?

admin answers:

Your food plan isn't horrible but it is far from great. I will offer some advice if I can.
First off, try to combine protein and carbs at every meal, it is a great energy boost. Also, avoid too much sugar and salt, they aren't good for you.
Breakfast- instead of eggs, eat egg whites, they have all the protein with a lot less fat than whole eggs. If you must have cereal make sure it does not have sugar in it and that it is whole wheat. A better choice would be oatmeal though. Maybe have some fruit as well.

Snack- fruit is a good choice but try combining it with a few almonds and some form of carbs.

Snack- whey protein milk is a decent form of protein so I guess that's fine.

Lunch- Holy way too many calories for one meal. Around 400 calories a meal is more like what you should be consuming. Also, alfredo sauce is possibly the worst thing you could be eating. It is made of cream, butter and cheese. It is death on a plate. Grilled chicken is the best option you have listed. Turkey is a great choice too. Eat mostly fish lean meats like those. Steak is okay in moderation but not the healthiest option. Definitely load up on veggies though.

Snack- horrible, horrible choices other than tea. Tea is good for you unless you load it up with cream and sugar. Same goes for coffee but tea is the better choice, especially green tea. Stop eating sweets subsitute fruit and a little bit of yogurt or cottage cheese.

Dinner- where is dinner? You need dinner just try not to eat it too late at night.

Snack- of you have to snack after dinner make sure not to do it later than 4 hours before bed. Peanut butter is not very good for you unless it is the natural kind. Try almond or hemp seed butter instead.

Overall, your on the right track with eating frequently throughout the day but keep doing research and in no time you will be an expert. A book I found helpful is the Eat Clean Diet. It's not actually a diet but it is definitely interesting. Hope this helps. Good luck and don't give up.

Richard asks…

18 month old not trying new foods?

My 18 month old daughter is eating pretty well, but I know she could be eating more at this age. She does show interest in what were eating, will sometimes try it and either want more or gag it up. She likes what she likes, and I can’t get her to eat anything else! Her current menu is slim and she seems to be getting bored with these items, but refuses to eat anything else! I’m really in need of some guidance/suggestions on how to get her to eat anything else! I do put things out there everyday/every meal and she will eventually try it – but bread she REFUSES. She will eat cheese pizza but not always eat the end crust.

My hubby is great and has gotten her to eat new things, if he eats it on the floor while watching TV or something. She will sit with him and try it – that’s another way we’ve gotten her to eat new things, but this is still a limited menu and I need some help! ☺

I don’t know what else to do and am hoping for some great ideas! Here is what she’ll currently eat. . .

Variety of cooked pasta with butter or spaghetti sauce.
Mashed potatoes
Mac and Cheese
Lasagna with no meat
Cheerios, rice krispies and kix with or without milk
Pretzels, potato chips (no salt/reduced salt), ritz, fish crackers, etc
Diced lunch meat (chicken, turkey)
Pancakes and hash browns
Black beans, baked beans
Peas
Yogurt
Cheese slices/string cheese
Chicken noodle soup
Chicken nuggets
Tater tots, French fries
Loves red grapes, peaches,
Blueberry muffins
Apple slices
Cheese pizza
Real fruit popsicles
Apple, pear, white grape juice, and water
**She’ll only drink milk before bed – she’ll drink whole or skim

That’s her normal foods for the week. . . can’t get her to try bread/toast. We’ve tried grilled cheese, quesadilla’s, raisin toast, bagels, etc. I need advice on how to implement more foods, especially bread! She’s not a big fan of sweets either – she’ll nibble on a cookie, or the cake part (with no frosting), but that’s the extent of it.

I’d really appreciate any guidance/suggestions you can offer! ☺ Looking forward to all your responses!

admin answers:

She sounds like a normal toddler! My son is becoming a picky eater as he gets older. He refuses bread unless it is toasted. I then spread apple, pumpkin or PB butter on top as a special treat. Bread has alot of fiber (if whole wheat) but so does pasta. Make sure you offer whole wheat pasta. She is lacking in veggies (my son is very picky about that as well). I found a few ways to sneak them in or to make them fun. He dips green beans in ranch dressing. I make omelets (for any meal) with sauteed spinach, diced tomatoes and cheese. Puree some veggies and mix in with yogurt. Baked
sweet potato fries instead of fried. Puree some veggies and mix with spaghetti sauce. I make homemade soups (vegetable, potato/carrot) and freeze. My son will only eat them pureed as he doesn't see the chunks of veggies. For a healthy version of Chicken nuggets make your own...they are so much more yummy. The breading is whole wheat bread, italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Dip the cut up chicken in a beaten egg, coat with breading then bake. Try tuna patties. You can add whole wheat bread crumbs and diced veggie to them. Let her dip in ketchup. Oatmeal and scrambled eggs are a good breakfast option. Make with whole milk to ensure she is getting plenty of calcium. Zucchini chips are quite yummy. Plus they are coated with whole wheat bread crumbs. Serve those instead of potato chips. Dip in salsa, guacamole, any dip she prefers. Sweets are not a must in a diet so don't worry about that at all.

Hi there Kyra!

One way to really get your dragon's feet right is to study the anatomy. Refer to pictures of real life animals with feet very similar to what you've envisioned on your dragon! That will help tons, trust me.

Also you can view some dragon tutorials on places like deviantart.com. There are several outstanding in depth dragon tutorials in the site. All you have to do is search for the term. =)

Unfortunately I haven't posted up my dragon tutorial for my tutorials website so I'm unable to help you personally. ^_^"

Of Those People Who Have Seen How To Train Your Dragon, Which Dragon Is Best?

I love to draw dragons, and the movie "How To Train Your Dragon" inspired me to draw a dragon from the movie. There were so many there, how can I choose? Please tell me your favorite. The one with the most comments wins!

Toothless!!!! Definitely!!! Toothless is so cute and his eyes are what define his character. I love toothless. All the other dragons seem too complicated.

Questions About How To Block A Phone Number Att

Laura asks…

i am using ATT/ SBC telephone service ,how do i block a phone number from someone very irritating @ annoying?

this person has been politely asked more than once to stop calling at all hours. this is a last result but apparently it is time.it must end soon.

admin answers:

If you know the phone number of the person who is calling you, then you can use the call screening service.

Dial *60 from your touch tone phone.

The prompts will instruct you how to add or remove a number from your blocked callers list.

It will not work for all phone numbers and will not work on long distance phone numbers.

Lizzie asks…

I was wondering if there is any easy way to block them or set them to ring as silent so that it would be easier to ignore there annoying calls. my phone is a nokia 6061 with att if that helps any... Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

admin answers:

There is a feature that AT&T sells for $4.99 a month called Smart Limits and with that you can block up to 15 phone numbers. Other than that there is no way to block just a specific number

You can actually block numbers on AT&T - They have the service where you pay monthly and get to control who you want to block. Call AT&T and they will tell you more on this. Hope this helps.

Richard asks…

How do I get ATT Wireless to block a number from calling or texting my daughter's cel phone?

I was told you can set it up on their website but I can not seem to locate it. It may be there and I am simply overlooking it. Also, will it tell them their call was blocked? Thanks.

admin answers:

I don't have any knowledge of how at&t's blocking work, but with verizon the person will not get a message that they have been blocked but they will just get a busy signal. And if your daughter tried to place a call to the blocked number she would receive a text message that the number has been blocked by the account owner. I love verizon so much because they also give you the option to block restricted and private numbers as well so no one can just call and harass you and remain anonymous. I hope this helps.

Questions About How To Draw A Dog

Lizzie asks…

how long does it take to draw a realistic dog?

i want to teach myself how to draw dogs but im wondering if the key is to work extremly slow.
Like how many hours would it usually take an artist to draw a dog?

admin answers:

Depends on the skill of the artist.

For example, I can draw a realistic dog in as little as ten seconds. Or, I can take a few hours to do it. For me, it depends on how much detail is wanted, the degree of shading and the specific composition.

Back to the rest of your question, it should be clear that "working extremely slow" is NOT the answer. In fact, while you are learning, drawing slow could work against you. Lets say you've only got about an hour a day to practice and it takes you an hour to complete a drawing. That means that in a week, you can draw a maximum of seven dogs. But, if your practice consisted of quick sketches, where the details mattered less than getting the pose, shape and proportions correct, you might be able to draw twenty, thirty, maybe a hundred dogs in a single hour.

That's a LOT of images. A lot of practice drawing dogs. You will learn a LOT more and improve your drawing skill to a MUCH greater degree by drawing several dozen quick sketches in a single hour than you would gain by an entire week of "slow" drawings of only a half dozen dogs.

The thing is, you say you want to teach yourself how do draw dogs. This implies that you want to learn a skill you don't yet have. You learn a skill by lots and lots of practice. That means doing something, again and again. It means letting yourself make mistakes and learning from those mistakes. And doing it repeatedly until you make fewer mistakes.

Get some cheap drawing paper. You can even use the blank back of used paper. It doesn't matter. Don't expect every practice drawing to be a masterpiece. That's why it's called "practice." A track runner, doing lap after lap in training doesn't expect EVERY lap to be a record breaker. Every time a writer sets down a page of words, he doesn't expect a Pulitzer Prize for that moment's work. The runner is perfecting technique in preparation for a big event. The writer works and reworks his paragraphs, finding ways of improving the flow of words and better communicating what he wants to convey.

Same with you and your hundreds of practice sketches. At the end of a week, if you compare your drawings, you will note that the last sketches are much better than the first day's sketches. When you feel you are ready, THEN pull out a nice piece of drawing paper and begin drawing. And even THAT drawing will begin with a quick sketch to place the basic layout of your composition. Then go back and gradually fill in the details that brings your realistic drawing to life. It could STILL take only a few minutes or an hour or two. It doesn't matter. It's not the time spent on a drawing that make it good. It is the SKILL you put into it that makes it work.

Good luck and have fun.

Jenny asks…
