Q. Im going to a fall fashion show in a week and I have no clue what to wear. Im not looking to stand out, I just want to blend in with everyone else. I was told to stay away from black (which is all I own). I'm a very clean cut and basic person so I am having difficulty figuring out what I should wear. I preferably would not like to have to go out and spend a lot of money on a new outfit either.
A. you could try a blazer, simple white tee, and dark wash skinny jeans. and then some fun accessories, but try to keep it light.

How to cover up a tattoo (temporarily)?
Q. First I would like to say I am a grown woman. I am going to my aunts house this weekend and the weather will be warm. I have a tattoo on my wrist and I just don't want to hear her nagging and insults. It there a way to cover it up?
A. ok so this may sound like a weird way to cover a tattoo up, but it works!
all you need is a red lipstick (bright or dark)
a cream foundation lighter then your skin
a cream foundation darker then your skin
loose powder the same tone as your skin
sponge and powder/blush brush
Step 1:
Apply a thin red coat of red lipstick, then let dry
Step 2:
Apply a second thin red coat, then let dry
Step 3:
Apply lighter foundation with a sponge, making sure you blend with your skin around the red. (Blot ontop of red, rub/blend outside of red). Let foundation dry
Step 4:
Apply darker foundation with the same technique as step 3. Let foundation dry
Step 5:
Apply loose powder with a blush or powder brush to set foundation.
Your tattoo should now be covered. Be sure to try this the day before to make sure it does work.
Hope this helped.

I am throwing a dinner party for the women in my family. I would like a theme or planned activity. Any ideas?
Q. Ages range from 19 - 80. We are Italian. It will be a large group.
A. How about a gardening theme? You could do something like "sowing the seeds of love," "harvesting love", "Batali Family: How does your garden grow?" or something like that. Decorate w/ garden accoutrements purchased at the Dollar Spot at Target or Walmart (garden glvoes, trowels, seed packets, etc). Use potted plants as table decor, then give as gifts to oldest and youngst attending, or as door prizes, etc.
Do you have to eat Italian food? If so, I'm sure you have that covered! If not, I love to serve an entree-type Chicken Salad for a bunch of ladies, along w/ a basket full of various muffins, croissants, and scones. A nice fruit salad and maybe a green salad would be good, too, along w/ it.
A couple recipes:
New SEVEN LAYER SALAD
Dressing:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese (about 2 ounces) (I bought a container with more than 1/2 cup so I could sprinkle over top)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
Salad:
1 (9 oz.) package cheese tortellini, boiled according to package directions; drained and cooled
2 cups shredded red cabbage
6 cups torn spinach leaves
1 cup Colby cheese
1 cup Cheddar cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Crumbled real bacon from bag or jar (however much you like)
Smoked sliced almonds (however much you like) (I find it in produce areaâ I think its by Sunkist.)
1. In electric blender or food processor, blend yogurt, buttermilk, mayonnaise, Feta cheese, sugar, dill, basil, and pepper until smooth. Chill.
2. Rinse cooled pasta with cold water.
3. In 2½ quart glass bowl, layer cabbage, spinach, tortellini, cheese, and tomatoes.
4. Sprinkle with left over Feta cheese, bacon, and sliced almonds.
5. Pour dressing over salad, cover in plastic wrap, then chill for 2 to 4 hours. Lightly toss before serving.

How does the brain know where to send electric messages?
Q. I was reading in my psychology book, which said that you could send electricity through the brain at certain locations to stimulate various emotions, such as fear, anger, or hopelessness, or direct someone's body. How, though, is the electricity directed by the neurons? Does the body consist of pre-defined paths or links of neurons? If so, would the result be consistent every time in the same location? That would really back up my hypothesis that psychology is extremely mathematical.
A. I believe you're right that psychology is very mathematical.
The central nervous system is all wired up and (when its healthy and normal) ready to send messages when the human being is formed. The ability of it to send messages, though, can be affected by neuropeptides. ("chemicals" for lack of a better term) A psychologist to whom I brought a child for an educational evaluation once said that some messages are not correctly transmitted because (as he said) it is believed that some coating may not present.
I believe there is one formula (I'm not going to say it on here for my own reasons) that explains exactly how and why brains develop and how and why electrical connections are made or not made; because, as you know, it is entirely possible for electrical connections to not function or not develop for one reason or another.
Depending on (for lack of a more scientific way to describe it briefly) "the blend of chemicals going on", it is possible that there would not necessarily have to be consistency every time in every location.
It is possible (with equipment today) for doctors/scientists to see what part of a brain is "lighting up" during certain activites. They also have a solid understanding of what part of the brain governs what activities. When they stimulate emotions they are artificially stimulating them. Just the other night, there was a woman who had had a procedure that would allow a doctor to change her emotions artifically and separately from what was really going on around her.
As far as I know, if it were at all possible to, say, watch what happens in a brain when a child, say, is being abused, and to watch it for the time the brain was developing; it would probably show the physiological changes in the brain that, maybe, would cause either alterations in the brain itself or else changes in the "chemicals" or both. In other words, I believe you're probably right (although, again, I don't necessarily know anything) about the mathematical part.
I do think, though, that some more superficial issues of psychology may be less math and more art; or else, maybe its more a matter of the same formula at work on a different and less deep level.
Again (and I can't say it enough) I don't know anything.....
