I always wanted to know how the nutritional value on a certain brand of Israeli peanut butter adds up to more than 100 grams per 100 grams?

And, why on the milk bags it says that it is fresh milk - it doesn't stay that way but the bag doesn't change even after a week in the fridge.

Ribbie- the same idea: On foam cups it is printed "caution: HOT"
But it's not. On others it is much smarter: "Liquid may be hot."

This may be deleted soon, but I always wondered… does the HIV get created from multiple partners or is it simply passed on from one infected person to another? Basically, can it suddenly get created in you or can you only catch it? I’m stumped.

HIV is a virus that is transmitted through bodily fluids. It goes from one person to another. It is not created every time.

Ha, Lilly - that's a great question!!

About nursing - I noticed that I had less milk when I ate less ... so there was def. a connection there, for me at least.

try increasing fluid intake, that's what 'makes' the milk. the food merely provides vitamins; if you eat sufficient nutrition, even if less amount of food, the quality of milk should not be not diminished.

funny that you posted that again ... because nobody noticed it the first time ... I guess they need braille to see Wink

- good question unless some people walk up to the drive ups ... who really knows ... let's ask the banks ...

about that NJ vs NY milk ... yeah wouldn't they rot the same time ... or even earlier in NY because of transport?

Lilly - that question is good but either way a little morbid to think about ...

gotta think of my own question ... nothing comes to mind just yet - but perhaps 3 am it will ...

instead of tissues they have cut up toilet paper. Why do they do that is it cheaper.

tissues and toilet paper are not made the same way. Toilet paper is made to fall apart when it gets really wet so that it will flow through the pipes. Tissues pride themselves on their "wet strength" and are not supposed to fall apart. using facial tissue instead of toilet paper can cause major clogging in the plumbing--and believe me, shabbos is not a good day to clog your plumbing.

why do ppl smoke?

cuz it "feels" good & helps relieve stress or at least feel like a little stress relief & also there are chemicals in cigarettes that make them addictive

amother above- all those reasons are why people cant stop smoking easily..but the answer hasnt been given as to why people BEGIN Smoking. I think part of the answer is peer pressure: to look cool or 'grown up', ..Which is why I think people who smoke are quite pathetic.

I agree, but the question was just "why do ppl smoke," not "why do they begin smoking"

I agree with everything you said though-- and I would add that there might also be an element of teens feeling pressured and stressed and upset and looking for some way to "chill out" but again I agree that peer pressure is a biggie
