Is there a practical alternative to cucumbers during a facial?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

I am looking for a practical alternative for cucumbers during a facial. Cucumbers will be too much to keep track of making sure I always have some fresh. Is there a patch or cotton or soak I can buy to maybe soak a gauze or something with an eye treatment? Thanx for the help. If you know of any products for this please direct me to their site.

Why do my garden cucumbers smell and taste rotten?

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

My garden gets plenty of sun and water. I let the cucumbers grow to a normal size. I then refrigerate them over night and try them the next day. They smell like rotten veggies. Could it be bad dirt? I have not used any fertilizers, compost, or chemicals. My tomatos next to them are not ready to eat, so I don’t know if they will taste the same. I’m ready to take out the plants! Thank you for any advice.

Can you help solve a food dispute between my fiance and I?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

The dispute revolves around salads, specifically one ingredient. I say that if one is going to have sexual relations with a cucumber, it shouldn’t be served in a salad later. She says that so long as the cucumber was wearing protection, it shouldn’t matter. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

when is a cucumber not safe for a guinea?

Friday, July 10th, 2009

i have 4 guinea’s at home and im just introducing cucumbers to them. i brought two home and the first one lasted about two weeks because i only gave it to them every two days. the other one is getting soft and when i cut it open, the area closest to the skin was almost clear and gel like. while the center was still normal. is it bad or still safe for them to eat?
