misslara You should be careful of cheap body jewelry. The quality is usually really low and it can be harmful to wear in your body, especially if the piercing isn't fully healed.

misslara For a sore throat, gargling with sea salt water works so well! It tastes revolting, but the relief you feel is immediate.

Many students do not have a reading habit?

ajinomoto23 @ajinomoto23 (1057) • Philippines 28 Feb 07

A high school student cannot finish reading a chapter. A college student cannot write a summary of what he has read. Improvement in readings skills are not taken seriously by the teacher nor the parents.

misslara Yeah, I was amazed at how many students have really poor literacy skills -- even when I came to university! Parents should put way more emphasis on the importanc of reading. It's such an important skill, and it goes hand in hand with other skills like...

how old should a child be before they sleepover at a friends house?

lynninky @lynninky (491) • United States 28 Feb 07

what age did your child start stay over at a friends house ?

misslara I imagine that like with everything else it depends on the child. And the friend, too. Some kids who are used to spending nights in other people's homes like family members would probably be more comfortable spending the night at a friend's at an earlier age.

Pets Fall Out of Favour!

jennybianca @jennybianca (12912) • Australia 28 Feb 07

Pet numbers are dropping because children are spending far less time outdoors, and because back yards are smaller, veternarians say. Changing lifestyles have contributed to the falling numbers in pet ownership over the past 15...

misslara It's true that owning a pet can be beneficial to the owner, but so many people just don't lead an appropriate lifestyle. I think it's such a shame when people get a cat or a dog and then leave it alone for most of the day while the entire household is at work...

Do you prefer the city or living out in the country?

creed22 @creed22 (112) • United States 28 Feb 07

I currently live in the country and sometimes I would rather live in the city. I need to travel 25 miles to find larger stores that carry certain products that I need. Also it can get very boring out here with the lack of places...

misslara I love living in the city and the convenience is fabulous, but sometimes it can start feeling claustrophobic, especially since I live in a university residence where it's really hard to escape people you know! Still, I'd probably complain about being so far...

misslara I really like darker movies with a good depressing ending. My favourite movie's Mystic River, even though it's macabre. Sean Penn is such a good actor!

I shake...

webbuff @webbuff (926) • Philippines 28 Feb 07

When I get nervous I shake uncontrollably and can't stop for a while. People laugh at me. It's embarrassing. Is there something wrong with me?

3 responses

misslara I think it's just a natural response to stress. I used to shake when I had to do public speaking, but I've had so much practice at it now that it doesn't bother me. I get clammy palms when I'm nervous too!

misslara I paint a lot of new-school tattoo inspired stuff. Lots of bold lines, lots of bright colours. I usually paint cartoony stuff -- photorealism has never been my forte. I'm an acrylic painter. I'd love to try oils, but they're expensive and I don't have any...

Which is most stressful to you? Driving, cooking, or cleaning?

Yestheypayme2dothis @Yestheypayme2dothis (7874) • United States 23 Feb 07

Which is most stressful to you? Driving, cooking, or cleaning? If you had a choice to have a chauffer, chef, or cleaning lady/man for the rest of your life at no expense to you, which would you choose and why? I am not a driver...

What do you collect?

misslara @misslara (43) • Canada 23 Feb 07

I've managed to curb my addiction to hording stuff in recent years, except for one major vice... books! I can't get enough! I buy almost all of mine used because they're so expensive new, but sometimes I can't resist the latest...

How many hours do you spend sleeping everyday?

sherry_navilla @sherry_navilla (420) • Slovak Republic 23 Feb 07

I've read about lack of sleep, less than 8 hours per day, cutting short your life span so I make sure that I have enough sleep everyday. My young kids usually have 9 to 10 hours of sleep.

Where do you sell your art/crafts?

misslara @misslara (43) • Canada 23 Feb 07

I'm an avid painter, and I've managed to sell a few pieces via my blog and on www.etsy.com, but I need to sell more or I'll bankrupt myself on paint and canvas! Where do you all sell your art and crafts?

misslara I really want to try something like building a fair-sized body of work and approaching a commercial gallery with it, but I'm not quite confident enough to do that because I haven't sold much work in other ways.

Do you recycle?

Sawsen @Sawsen (793) • United States 23 Feb 07
