This is just my latest question in my slew of gentleman's clubs questions.. :)
My wife and I may be visiting a strip club or two, either OG or Spearmint, and noticing they are a little off the stip, we will probably have to hop a cab from our hotel.
Is it easy to get cabs on the way out when you want to leave? Or are we going to be standing outside afterwards thinking, WTF?
I've been to vegas once, but haven't been off the strip... Just did stuff within walking distance.
Is it easy to get cabs back to hotels from StripClubs (Spearmint or OG?)?
Absolutely!
There are designated cab lines for the clubs because it is in the best interests for the clubs and the cabbies.
Reply:There are always plenty of taxi cabs and limos waiting outside the strip club. especially popular ones like Spearmint Rhinos. Reason being...many ppl coming and going...just like the casinos...so if they've dropped off someone..they'll sit for the next person leaving. And of course in the rare case there is no one waiting there, just have the front person call the cab company or limo company for you...honestly they'll be there in like 2 minutes flat. Have fun.

Reply:Yes but the doorman will have his hand out for a tip
Reply:Yes. You will not have to wait at all!!! Here's a tip, ask the cabbie for coupons to clubs and strip clubs. The clubs give the cab drivers coupons for routing people to their establishments. Sometimes you will end up with free cover or drinks!!!

Does anyone know what the green square chewy spearmints were that helped relieve upset stomach and heartburn?
I have been trying for a year to figure out what these things are called. They were definately around in the early to mid 80's and have since been taken off the market. They were individually wrapped and tasted like a spearmint. They had the consistancy of taffy. If you can help me, I may be able to sleep at night for the first time in a year...who am I kidding, I can't sleep. Thank you to everyone that tries answering and sorry to those of you who know what I am talking about, but are now also bothered because you can't figure it out. ;o)

I remember that stuff ... And I could be wrong but I think it was called TEMPO ??? Man I loved those things!
I just checked they were called tempo! Google it, you'll see them, but unfortunately I think they are off the market because I didn't find anyone selling them.... Man I hope it wasn't because they were bad for you I used to eat them all of the time ( I had an ulcer years ago )

Is 5 gum better then regular gum?
I bought the new 5 gum which looks awesome, but is it actually last longer and has a stronger taste and smell then regular gum? I bought the rain flavor which is spearmint. So can anyone tell me if it actually tastes stronger, lastes longer, and stronger taste? Or am I just thinking its better because of the new commercials and the nice boxes?
Is 5 gum better then regular gum?
i've had 5 gum, and it really is good. i thought that it lasted longer than most gums, seeing as i chewed it for almost three hours, and i only got rid of it because i got sick of chewing.
Reply:I like it just as much as Orbit gum because it lasts just as long or maybe a little longer.
Reply:im guessing answers would be opinions in this matter
Reply:Yes, it's better I also had to toss it (Cobolt) because I got tired of chewing. Definitely lasts longer.
Reply:Yah i bought all the flavors and they last so long!!!! shut up guy on the top you dont know crap
Reply:Hell no!! I was disapointed. They make it look like if you chew it, it's the same as doing a line. Well, that's advertisement baby, a lie.

Essential peppermint oil added to water?
My husband dislikes water, but is starting to drink a new water called "metromint". It has a slight taste of peppermint or spearmint. Is there a type of essential oil that can be added to regular water?
Essential peppermint oil added to water?
When I've tried to do that myself, it turned cloudy and icky. You could probably just grow peppermint or spearmint and put leaves in the water, crush a few. I have no idea how you might replicate the orangemint, lemonmint, or chocolatemint flavors though! I'm amazed by the chocolatemint.
Reply:You can by extracts of various flavors in the baking section of your market. Peppermint, almond, vanilla, lemon, coconut etc. There are other flavors available online.
Just add a drop at a time until the desired strength is attained.

Where do i trim my herbs?
I can find all sorts of information on the web about herbs, but I can't find anything specific about what place on the plant I should be cutting the leaves off to dry them. The plant is getting overgrown and I need to take some off to dry.
If it makes a difference, here are the herbs I'm growing:
spearmint, oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, dill, and rosemary.
Where do i trim my herbs?
Never let them flower! Once they do, the taste and texture are yucky.
Reply:Pick as much as you want from the growing ends of the plant. Leave some leaves on the lower parts of the stalks to support further growth. The will get bushier when you trim them and it's good for the plant.
When we dry herbs we lay them out on a cookie sheet covered in paper towels and put them on top of the fridge. We turn them once or twice a day and they dry in a few days.
This method seems to retain the oils and flavors better than the dehydrator.
Dry basil will keep in a paper bag and some people save little bottles or other containers to keep them in.
We keep herbs fresh for year round use as well. Nothing tastes better than fresh herbs and especially rosemary.
Do an experiment and taste some dried herbs with fresh and you will see the difference.
With the cost of everything going up it makes sense to always have some fresh herbs on hand. You can grow them in a sunny window and out doors in containers or in the garden as climate allows.
Reply:With most of these herbs it is not critical where you cut them. Do take off flowers. Just cut up to one third off the tops of the ones you want to dry. Most of them will just get bushier after you cut, so as long as they are making more growth you can keep on cutting. I hope this helps.
Reply:Apart from the rosemary all of them should be cut in a clump, about a third of the plant, almost to the ground. Meaning cut as much as you want right to the base of the stem leaving the uncut portion to support the plant whilst the piece you cut grows back.
With rosemary just cut like a hedge or half way down a side branch. It doesn't really matter as it will grow back from the point you cut.

Reply:I wouldn't recommend cutting very close to the ground. The plant needs leaves in order to continue to live, so make sure that you leave a good amount of leaves in order for the plants to photosynthesize. I wouldn't cut more than 50 or 60 percent of the plant, wouldn't want to shock it too much.
Make sure that you keep the herbs from flowering (not as important with rosemary) particularly the basil, make sure the flowers are trimmed, flavor changes when the plant produces flowers, also, they will stop growing and put all their energy into making seed. With dill, you may want the seeds, so you could let it flower and go to seed. If you do this, than the greens will begin to die back.
With rosemary, Id just cut sprigs and use them fresh. Let that rosemary grow and get lovely.
This is just my personal opinion, but basil is better frozen. Wash the leaves, make sure they are allowed to fully dry off, and then stick em in a bag and put em in the freezer.

How do I winter-over flowers?
I have 7 window-boxes filled with perinneals. Lavender, lemon-balm, spearmint, aztec pearl verbena, toto black-eyed susan, and veronica. I know these are all flowers that spread and get "shrubby". I have two flowers planted in each 2-foot planter. I need to know how to winter them over. Do I simply cover them? Can I plant them in seperate buckets and put them in the basement? I want them to come back next year, but I have never planted perinneals in planters before. Help!
How do I winter-over flowers?
I don't know where you live... I am in Minnesota and because it gets so cold, we cover everything with layers of leaves and sometimes tarps.
I would recommend taking all your planters and placing them 'together' and then cover them well, with mulch or leaves, once fall comes... keeping them from drying out and freezing out in the winter.
some perennials can be brought inside if you want to prolong the 'wintering' ... I have done geraniums this way before.... otherwise, I just bury plants under leaves and snow for the winter and they do fine!
Reply:What zone are you in?
Overwintering perennials is best done with the container in contact with the soil. So you will either need to remove the plants and place in pots for the winter or move the window boxes down to ground level. Once freezing weather arrives, place the pots and/or planters on the ground and cover with leaves or straw. This will prevent alternate freeze/thaw cycles during the winter.
In the spring uncover the plants and replace the boxes or replant into the boxes. Removing the plants will be necessary either in spring or fall anyway so that you can divide them. They will grow too big for the window box without annual dividing.
Reply:Unless you have a ground to put them in then over-wintering them will be next to impossible. These are full sun plants. Indoors and they won't get enough light and staying in the boxes won't protect their roots well enough especially if you live in a particularly cold zone. Plants with roots need to be in the ground over winter. Bulbs or Rhizomes can be pulled up and stored in a dry dark place for winter. So, for the lavender and black-eyed Susan then I would say no, but maybe to the lemon balm and spearmint because these two are like weeds. Keep them watered and put them in a bright window and they may make it, however, they will probably be a bit leggy.
One other thing you could try is to set up a grow station in your basement (provided it is warm enough) with bright grow lights and try to over-winter them that way. You can purchase Fluorescent fixtures and place one warm bulb and one cool bulb inside the fixture. Put your plants directly under the fluorescent fixture with about 3-4 inches of space from the fixture to the top of the tallest plant. I'm sorry, wish I could be more help. Good luck
