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 (9 oz.) package cheese tortellini, boiled according to package directions; drained and cooled

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.

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.....
What is the Disneyland dress code you must have to work there?
Q. Also, if you work there and get a gate pass, can you only bring friends in during park hours or after?
A. Fingernails should be clean. If polish is used, it should be an appropriate, neutral color. Charms or decals on fingernails are not permitted. Fingernails should not exceed one-fourth of an inch (approximately 6 mm) beyond the fingertip.
Hair should be neatly combed and arranged in a classic, easy-to-maintain style. Extreme styles are not permitted.
Hair below shoulder length should be confined if it falls forward over the face while working.
Conservative braided hairstyles without beads or ornamentation are permitted.
Hair products may be used to create a soft, natural hairstyle within these guidelines.
Shaving of the head or any portion of the head or eyebrows is not permitted.
Artificial hair is permitted if it looks natural and meets all of the above requirements.
If makeup is worn, it should be applied in a blended manner and in appropriate, neutral colors.
Hair accessories no larger than one inch (approximately 2.5 cm) wide (approximately 2.5 cm) wide and four inches (approximately 10 cm) long are acceptable. Headbands, hair ribbons, or hair ties are acceptable, provided that they are no wider than one inch (2.5 cm).
Hair accessories must be a neutral color (silver, gold, tortoiseshell, black, clear or pearl) or a solid color that matches the costume.
No more than three small accessories may be worn at once.
Rings, earrings and a classic business-style wristwatch are permitted.
Necklaces, bracelets and ankle bracelets are not permitted. A medical-alert necklace, bracelet or ankle bracelet is acceptable.
Earrings must be a simple, matched pair in gold, silver or a color that blends with the costume. One earring in each ear is permitted. Earrings may be clip-on or pierced, post, hoop or dangle and must be worn on the bottom of the earlobe. Earrings may not exceed the size of a quarter.
Only one ring on each hand is permitted, with the exception of a wedding set. A ring may be worn on any finger.
Professional options for women include dress pants with a classic style blouse or sweater, skirted or pants suit, dress with or without a jacket, and business-style walking shorts with a blouse and jacket or vest.
A blazer or suit may be required at certain times, depending on your work location and the nature of your role. Check with your area leader for more information.
Sleeveless tops and dresses are permitted provided the sleeve width is no less than three inches (approximately 7.6 cm). Tank tops, spaghetti straps, and other casual styles are not acceptable.
Traditional and professional style mid-calf Capri pants are permitted. Cotton twill, cargo, leggings or other casual styles of Capri pants do not present a professional image and are therefore not permitted.
Cotton twill full-length pants (i.e., Dockers®, khakis) are permitted only if they are neatly pressed, creased, and appear to be professionally laundered.
Non-costumed Cast Members are permitted to wear a short- or long-sleeved oxfordstyle dress shirt with property-specific embroidered logo. A blazer is optional.
Clothing not permitted includes polo or golf-style shirts (except for Sports and Recreation Cast), cargo-style pants, t-shirts, sundresses, leggings, casual shorts, wrap-around shorts, one-piece rompers and garments made of denim fabrics.
Winter jackets and coats should present a professional appearance and should be made of fabrics traditionally acceptable in business. For example, wool, leather and micro fiber offer good choices. Denim, nylon, satin and other casual fabrics would not meet these professional guidelines.
Clothing Lengths
Dress and skirt lengths may range from three inches (7.6 cm) above the top of the kneecap bone to the bottom of the ankle. The length of shorts should be from the top of the kneecap bone to three inches (7.6 cm) above the top of the kneecap bone. Slits in skirts, kick pleats and buttoned or snapped closures should not exceed five inches (12.7 cm) above the middle of the knee. Pants should be long enough to touch the bottom of the ankle.
Fabrics should be those traditionally acceptable for business, such as tweed, wool, cotton, polyester, silk, linen, rayon or blends of these fibers. Unacceptable fabrics include spandex, gauze, metallic fabrics, sheer fabrics, clinging knits, denim and chambray. Patterns that are large graphics, large company and non-company logos, and styles that suggest extremely casual sportswear are not permitted.
Dress shoes or boots in good business taste are required. Classic dress shoes are permitted to have an open toe, open heel and/or sling back. Athletic shoes, sandals, and Western boots are not permitted.
Hosiery is optional for female non-costumed Cast Members. If hosiery is worn, it should be sheer or opaque hosiery in subdued shades.
