About me - H. Snowborne

Since You Asked: Everything I'd like You to Know about Me

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

I have my grandmother's unwieldy, 18th century name as my full name. And then, informally and by people other than my parents, Nancy Sinatra.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU

Food & Drink > Dining Etiquette Should cell phones be banned in restaurants?Smallicon
2 of 115

When I sit down to dinner in my home, I do not want to be interrupted: it's my time with my husband, or family, or guests. Time and effort have been spent putting the meal together and, if we're not entertaining guests, it's likely we've not had the luxury of their company for a time. I would like nothing better than to enjoy... More..

Arts & Humanities > Internet Writing & Blogging What makes a good blog
1 of 13

I'm probably the least likely person to advise anyone on how to create a "good" blog: I've been blogging for over two years and, even though I've had some terrific and kind responses about my posts over this time, I can't say my blog has been overrun with daily traffic. It's been energetically ignored over the last two years,... More..

Style & Beauty > Makeup What beauty products every woman should have
4 of 24

Cosmetics marketing is some of the most persuasive advertising around, and new product lines appear all the time. Everything about make-up is meant to be seductive and alluring and we're often told that so many items are "essential", or that one product happens to be superior to so many others. It's not true, of course, un... More..

Style & Beauty > Face Care How to make your own pore strips
1 of 6

There's no question that people love the commercially available Pore Cleansing strips now on the market. They're easy to apply if your skin isn't sensitive, and for many people, they remove an impressive amount of fascinating gunk out of the visible pores on the nose, chin, forehead, and cheeks. Consumer product reviews fo... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?Smallicon
78 of 428

Every woman is presented this question for debate during her lifetime, and I know many women like me would like to see the entire issue framed more accurately. For me, the question is not whether a woman should be "given" the "right" to determine whether or not she'll carry a pregnancy to term and then nurture a child: rights... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Should federal political candidates have to disclose the means by which they raised their money - by mail, online, in person, etc.?Smallicon
3 of 12

Full disclosure of the source of funds donated for political use should be the norm: however, it simply isn't enough to ensure that citizens can become aware of all possible political supporters, and all possible streams of funding. The lack of information about who gives money to whom, what form that donation may take, and t... More..

Food & Drink > Dining & Restaurants (Other) Should restaurants be required to list calories and fat grams on their menus?Smallicon
56 of 163

Calories and fat, in themselves, don't concern me: I think by now everyone knows that fast food restaurants and chain restaurants are all about turning as much profit as possible, which means all the food on their menus will be filled with trans fats, hydrogenated fats, polymerized fats, and rancid fats, without a doubt. Thei... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Should pharmacists be forced to violate religious beliefs by selling the morning after pill?Smallicon
32 of 85

What a misleading and misinformed question this is:"Should pharmacists be forced to violate religious beliefs by selling the morning after pill?"It looks straightforward, but in reality, it's a manipulatory query. It implies that one is free to impose one's fundamentalist religious beliefs on everyone in the world around them... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Law & Justice (Other) Are we too eager to sue one another in America today?Smallicon
2 of 4

For decades, Americans have been taught to believe that their society is a litigious one, that people are far too eager to hire willing lawyers to contest any argument in court. There, not only will you be vindicated with a favourable decision, you'll be richly compensated as well. But lawsuits are expensive and time consu... More..

Health & Fitness > Homeopathy Summer first aid: Homeopathic remedies
1 of 1

Whenever summer rolls around, everyone begins to think about spending leisure time outdoors. Catalogs and flyers arrive filled with sale prices on tents and sleeping bags, barbecues, bicycles and canoes, and outdoor furniture-all in time to supplement our winter-weary imaginings of long, sunny, hot days and lazy summer evenin...
