How do you cook rice without it getting gluggy or burning to the bottom of the pot?

And is it actually bad for females to wear bras when they sleep?

Oh and what should I do about the mold on my ceiling?

Heard it was bad and could cause you even cancer, but actually it depends on the size of your breasts and type of bra, imo. If your breasts are huge better wear bra to avoid their future "drooping" in some degree

How many "pure" proteins should contain the daily intake for females my age and my life style (no sport)?
And what is considered to be pure protein? Egg white or?

Have enough water and add some salt/vinegar,test regularly.Nowadays you get rice which does not get gluggy

And is it actually bad for females to wear bras when they sleep?

Yes,especially Playtex,breasts need rest

Oh and what should I do about the mold on my ceiling?

Which eye did Woden give up?

As far as I know, the only period account of this is in stanza 28 of the Völuspá. It reads:

Alone she sat out when the lord of gods,
Ōðinn the old, her eye did seek:
"What seekest to know, why summon me?
Well know I, Ygg, where thy eye is hidden:
in the wondrous well of Mímir;
each morn Mímir his mead doth drink
our of Fjölnir's pledge: know ye further, or how?

It's not explicitly mentioned here which eye it is, and I don't know of any other sources with give that information.

Which eye did Woden give up?

Just looked on all the pictures of Odin (well, not all, but most) and found that he seems to be largely represented as having lost his left eye.

Get a wok.

And is it actually bad for females to wear bras when they sleep?

Apparently so. It's best to sleep naked anyway.

Oh and what should I do about the mold on my ceiling?

Buy some good mould killer from your nearest store or hardware store. Apply the the fluid to the effected areas. Wait the designated time for the solution to work. Rub off, or wipe off, the mould and solution.

You may have to reapply the solution more than once, but to prevent mould it is best not to dry clothes in the house, open windows throughout the day, etc, etc...

Are most products refered as BIO really BIO or just the same quallity ones but with greater prices due to the trade mark? Is it worth at all?

I don't know how it works abroad, but in Greece, the problem with BIO products is that:

a) BIO refers simply to the non usage of chemical fertilizers. The land, air and water can still be contaminated, however, and the seeds mutated.

b) Greek "BIO" farmers gave found ways (of course ) to cheat inspectors by introducing non-traceable amounts of chemical amounts into their crops.

This works as follows: they know in advance when the inspector is going to come and take measurements, so they calculate the exact amount of chemical that will have dissipated by that day.

If all else fails, they simply bribe their way into the BIO market.
