YES! You know, if you are "craving" this particular product; you probably could be suffering with a mineral deficinency.

You need to schedule an appt. with your Dr. ASAP. Tell your Dr. what you are eating and why. It may be embarassing, but this can be serious, you could be anemic. If you are ,do not let your Dr. just treat the anemia, make sure they do tests to find the root cause. Colon cancer has been related to all of these symptoms. That doesn't mean that everyone with unusual substance cravings is caused by cancer, it just means that everyone needs to make sure their Dr. explores all their complaints, and symptoms fully.

What bathing suit should be worn in Cairo Egypt?

From experience it depends - info Seven years old - on where and what beach you visit. Some allow bikini bathing others do not. Most of the locals swim fully clothed.

Recently there has been a move away from this for the richer folk who wear the more conservative Full body suit. This covers the the whole body from neck to ankles to wrist. These now appear to be approved on all Arab beaches as we have sold many to places like Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

Former belly dancer:

Only in private hotels that accept foreign tourist permit bikini or western style swim wear only in private access pool areas that is sequestered off from public display meaning indoor only or those that have gated security and tolerate or cater to western cultural.

In the past 10 years much has changed and expect the information about western wear to change again under Egypt's new leadership, ten years ago as a belly dancer the mid-driff area of the body was permitted to be exposed but no longer requires more Islamic modesty laws today! Only now with special government permission (fees for security guards) does even a belly dancer allowed to show her mid-section abdominal area bare if so again it's usually at a western style hotel with restricted and or limited access to the public as the location of most open international dance competitions are held.

How do you remove plumbers putty?

Get a candle and use it to heat your putty knife. It will slice though the old putty like butter. Just keep reheating the knife.

The best way to soften plumber's putty is to add a little linseed oil and allow it to sit overnight. Knead the putty thoroughly.

This won't do if you're in a hurry, so you could try to hurry it along by kneading it with a very small amount of linseed oil (use gloves).

Remember to keep the consistency a little bit thicker than Play Doh.
