I am frightened of hard boiled eggs ( especially ones with brown speckled shells )?

does anyone else have any irrational fears, or am i all alone?

I am scared of balloons.
Reply:This is a new phobia I haven't heard of anyone being afraid of eggs before, hard boiled or otherwise. You may need to see an eggspert.
Reply:freak lol

i hate feet....

and i hate chickens...

and i hateeeeeee my friend hailey...
Reply:Baked Beans!!! Even the smell of them makes me feel sick!!!
Reply:But will you eat eggs that are cooked otherwise??

You don't eat the shell.
Reply:many people have irrational fears
Reply:Irrational fears are like allergies -- sometimes you can't help "sneezing"



I have mine too.... ain't gonna say what they are... but I got em.



Thinking that perhaps in some cases of irrational fears it is something in the coloration or spatial relationship to the surroundings that might trigger the fear response.



It's been said that sometimes phobias are also brought on by too much caffien or even -- IMHO -- maybe... food allergies.



In any case I say to myself -- let them fears come -- let em give me butterflies in my stomach -- however -- I'm gonna make those butterflies Fly in Formation!! Then there are other times when I just want to close my eyes and get the heck outta there!!! LOL



Take care

Peace
Reply:wow i am so glad I'm not the only one with a freaky fear.... I absolutely hate and fear beyond the worst hate and fear you could possibly feel..... BANANA′S. i can not walk into fruit store without wanting to throw up... i can look at them without remembering what they feel like how they smell.... I wont go to lunch at peoples houses until I'm sure there is no bananas involved...... once my younger brother made a fruit salad at school and brought it home and with everything he makes we have to close our eye′s and taste it...before it even reached my mouth the putrid smell of the banana reached my nose and i was off in a state of panic...sweating...shaking and then vomiting...so no your not so weird and if there is anyone that can help us out there please give us a shout.
Reply:Don't know why but I terrified of spiders, no matter how small they are, it's really embarrassing!
Reply:I really am frightened of Spinach. I cannot stand the sight of a softly boiled egg running over the top of it.

I really do have nightmares over it.

My advice, stay away from hard boiled eggs, they are not vital.
Reply:your on your own with this one.

Reply:Well I'm agoraphobic, which is an irrational fear of crowds. I can't go to concerts or mass meetings of any sort and going to a superstore requires an effort of will. I know there's enough air for us all and yet I still feel like I'm gonna die.

And spiders--too many legs! And the way they move!

So sad that you're afraid of brown eggs! Do they have to be hardboiled, or any brown egg? Maybe you choked on one, or became very sick from eating one when you were too small to remember it.
Reply:yeah me too!...i'm also afraid of the goosebump-looking things on pickles.. *shudders*
Reply:Me too,, but my fear is fof red caps.
Reply:I have several diverse fears:



rats

snakes

needles

maggots

low-flying planes

fish bones

germs

birds

birds' nests

stainless steel



I can avoid most of the above, but the stainless steel can be problematic.
Reply:what is it that scares you about the egg, is it that it is hard. Or do the spots frighten you.
Reply:hahahaha!
Reply:can't say I'm afraid of eggs sorry
Reply:My friend is totally afraid of computers.....how dumb is that. She says that they are all some evil tool used by aliens to eventually take over all of our lives. I say "Hey if that's true let them....I'm goin' to have playing on it until then!!" LOL


We have fresh chicken eggs for health reasons.The question...how can you peel w/o hassle of sticky shells. ???

The shells are nearly impossible to remove. Yet we can't figure out how to remove them w/o the subsequent hassle of time-consuming egg-shell stickinesses...

Anyone knows of any tried-and-true solutions??? Info would be really appreciated!!! Thanks

Tried and True: Older eggs that are hard-cooked peel better than newly-laid eggs. Gather a dozen or so, and put in your fridge for 3-4 weeks. THEN hard-boil them and they should peel easily.
Reply:Old or new - plunge them into ice cold water right away and you should be able to peel the shells off no problem.

Reply:How can fresh eggs be healthy for you if they are covered by sticky shells? Where did that stickiness come from and what is it going to do to yo?
Reply:I don't understand the question
Reply:Try an eggstractor... seen here...http://www.eggstractor.net I have one and love it. It really does work how they say it does.. no shells, no mess. It's great.



They are also a lot easier to peel if they are cold, not warm.
Reply:First, start with COLD water that covers eggs. Add at least 1 tablespoon of salt. Boil about 15 minutes. Drain hot water, add cold water and a few ice cubes. Let the boiled eggs sit in cold water bath about 15 minutes; then crack one with another, all over. Peel, getting membrane with the shell. You may have a few that give you a hard time, but for the most part the shells come off like taking from a stick of butter.



I've never heard of using vinegar, but I'm willing to give it a try sometime.



Good luck.

Reply:I would recomend you bring eggs to boil. turn them off for 30 minutes. dunk in cold water and ice for 10 minutes. they should peel nicely.
Reply:How To Peel Hard-Cooked Eggs Easily:



This is what I do:



I place the eggs in the pan they were cooked in and add cold water.





I then crack the eggs under water (this seems to help loosen the membrane under the shell).





Start peeling at the larger end, where the air pocket is, and remove the shell under running water to make the shelling easier. You must get a hold of the membrane under the shell when you remove the shell. Very fresh eggs are harder to peel. The fresher the eggs, the more the shell membranes cling tenaciously to the shells.
Reply:If you are talking about hard boil eggs, you need to take them out of the hot cooking water and plunge them immediately into cold water - from the tap, or if that isn't cold enough in a pan of cold water with ice cubes. That stops the cooking of the shell and allows it to break away from the egg inside.
Reply:I normally just crack them on the side of the bowl. I've never had fresh eggs that had "egg shell stickinesses". Did you forget to tell us something?
Reply:As soon as your done boiling them - instead of cracking them - roll them and peel them under cold running water. Works every time (for me). Good luck. And good for you - free range chickens are the best eggs.
Reply:The Joy of Cooking cook book has the definitve "recipe" for this - usually boiled eggs are harder to peel when over cooked - the yolk should not be any color other than yellow (no green, etc)...

Use vinegar in the water and start with almost room temp eggs and cold water in the stock pot....the book has time according to hard cooked, soft cooked, etc....I also purge eggs into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and to lower the overall temp then roll the eggs and peel under cool running water....

Hope it helps...
Reply:Chill before taking the shell off.
Reply:Firstly, it's MOST important that after the hard-boiled eggs have finished boiling, that they be immediately rinsed in and then left to soak in very, VERY cold water -- the colder the better, icy is best. This insures that the shell will separate from the albumen (the thin film that separates the shell from the egg) allowing us to peel the egg.



THEN, I find that the best way to peel a hard-boiled egg is to tap both ends on a hard surface, breaking the shell on both ends and then laying the egg on its side on the hard surface, simply and quickly rolling it gently but firmly against the hard surface which causes many, many tiny and larger cracks to form through the shell and then it's ready for easy peeling.



As an added extra... I find the wisest way to hard-boil eggs is to put all the raw whole eggs (as many eggs as you like as the number of eggs you will be boiling has nothing to do with this cooking method) into a pot that has a tightly, snugly fitting cover of its own -- then cover all the eggs, filling the pot, with cool or lukewarm tap water until there is more than one-inch of water covering the egg that is on top of all the eggs in the pot. Then, on a high-flame, bring the water to a full, rolling boil... the very minute the eggs reach that full, rolling boil, remove the pot from the stovetop to a nearby waiting trivet and IMMEDIATELY put the cover on the pot completely covering the pot TIGHTLY and allow the eggs to continue to cook in the hot water (right on your tabletop, yes, without any flame underneath it) still in the pot for EIGHTEEN minutes. After the 18 minutes, remove the cover and bring the pot to your kitchen sink, gently and carefully pour out the still very very hot water and refill the pot with the coldest water you can get your tap to produce. Let the eggs just sit in the very cold water for a minute or two and then refill the pot again with more of the coldest water you've got. And you will have perfectly hard boiled eggs (which will also be remarkably easy to peel -- THAT is the secret to easy egg-peeling, immediately rinsing the cooked eggs with the very coldest water you can). I got this egg-boiling method from the old Betty Crocker cookbook and I was happily amazed to realize that it really works -- PERFECT hard-boiled eggs EVERY single time -- and NEVER any soft uncooked spots inside the eggs either. It's just great.
Reply:A tablespoon of white vinegar in the water when you boil them !! Works everytime.
Reply:i learned how to do that when i was about five, what the hell has happened to the world... ;-) anyway, you take your boiled egg out of the pan and put it under the cold tap for a couple of seconds immediately. that process is called refreshing and detaches the shell from the egg. :-) btw, what other eggs would you have if not fresh chicken eggs? seems like i've missed out on another covenience food nightmare...
Reply:You're talking about boiled eggs? Try shelling them when they're still warm.Also,press on the eggs,rolling backwards and forwards.The shells are supposed to come off easily,but not always the case

Is spitting sunflower seed shells on the road considered littering?

When I drive and eat sunflower seeds sometimes I spit them out my window if I dont have a bottle, so could a cop pull me over for this?

Is spitting sunflower seed shells on the road considered littering?
Technically, it is littering. I doubt you would be stopped it that was the only thing you were doing.
Reply:spitting is not the same thing as littering... Report It
Reply:A cop can pull you over. Just don't spit on him.
Reply:A cop would have to be bored out of his mind to pull you over, but yes, if he wants to he can..but to me its bio-degradable so for me its no big thing.
Reply:Of course not your doing Mother Nature a favor and returning naurtal seed shells into nature. Where it can be converted into rich soil for future generations.
Reply:I wouldn't think so - they are biodegradable. Thinks like toothpicks and peanut shells shouldn't be considered trash.
Reply:Yes. But he would have a hard time retrieving the evidence.
Reply:Depends on the state I think. I know in California the only two things you are allowed to have leave your car are water and chicken feathers(weird I know).
Reply:yea, but im sure a bird can pick it up and eat it lol


Does any other company besides ViewLoader make custom VLocity shells?

I know VL is making shells for teams, but is anyone making custom shells?

no i think that u gota custom order but is this even the right section lol


What are River Shells & do they contain a Type Of fish like the Sea Shells????

I found a couple Shells at the Green Cove Maarina!

What are River Shells %26amp; do they contain a Type Of fish like the Sea Shells????
Fresh water shells are molluscs, just like the marine species. Some are bivalves (clams, mussels, etc.) while others are gastropods (snails). Both these groups are found in both fresh and salt water. Snails of course are also found on land, but bivalves are not.
Reply:no they contain small insects

Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii R1 and R2 have potentials V1 and V2. Find V(r) b/w shells?

Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii R1 and R2 have potentials V1 and V2. Find V(r) between the shells.

Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii R1 and R2 have potentials V1 and V2. Find V(r) b/w shells?
If V2 is for the outer shell and V1 for the inner shell, then whatever is between the shells is V2 - V1 (V(r)). The following integral is from ra to rb (inner radius a and inner radius b)



V(r) = - ∫ E dr (vector E, electric field and vector dr, infinitesimally small radius. It's dr instead of dl since your dealing with radii rather than "regular lengths")



= - ∫ E * dr * cos α (dot product definition)

= - ∫ E * dr * cos0° (the angle between the electric field and dr is 0°)



= - ∫ (2kλ)/r * dr (E = (2kλ)/r since that's the formula got the electric field of a rod (cylinder))



= -2kλ [ ln r ] (evaluated at rb and ra)



= -2kλ ln rb - ln ra

= -2kλ ln (rb / ra)



and that's it
