mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15395) • United States 16 Aug 09

I have heard that from lots of caucasians that they feel Asians look very similar, they cannot tell which is from which countries. They all have same facial features, do you agree with that? I am a Asian, we have lots of whites...

AnneDePalma No, I don't think all Asians look alike. I live in San Jose, CA and we have a very large Asian community and Asians like Caucasians have very different features. The only difference I can see is that Caucasians have different colored hair and eyes. It's funny...

AnneDePalma I know what you mean. It's hard to eat a meal or cook one when you are so hot and miserable. I usually like to make something on top of the stove like spaghetti or chili. But some days, I just order take-out or make a huge salad. When my kids were little and...

AnneDePalma I have touched a Stingray at the Monterey Aquarium, which is about 2 hours from our home. My daughter was 8, the first time we went there and they had the rays swimming in an elongated, oblong, shallow pool. We moved here from upstate New York in 1995. You...

When reading the newspaper......

Modestah @Modestah (11179) • United States 6 Jun 09

When you grab the newspaper - which section do you turn to to read first? Or do you read from front page to back in order. I know a lot of people will go right to the obituary and birth announcements - Others go directly to...

AnneDePalma I love reading the newspaper. Usually I read it in the mornings after my daily walk. I start from the front page and read the whole paper in order. I don't read everything in the paper, just the articles that catch my attention. I do look at the Obituaries...

AnneDePalma Usually babies start walking around 9 or 10 months, although some don't walk until after their 1st birthday, it depends. I raised 3 children and my oldest, a boy, didn't walk until he was 13 months old. My middle child, another boy, walked at 10 months and my...

Would you get involved in a long distance relationship?

trinee @trinee (514) • Trinidad And Tobago 5 Jun 09

Long distance relationships can be tough-no two ways about it. But it can also lead to something that brings the two of you closer both geographically and emotionally. I don't mind a long distance relationship if you are working...

AnneDePalma I think that long-distance relationships are very hard on the people that belong to them, but I think that they can work out, if the two people are committed. Everyone, at one time or another, is in a long distance relationship. My husband was drafted into...

Do Pets Go To Heaven

lululastrange @lululastrange (339) • United States 5 Jun 09

I know that the Catholic Church says that animals don't go to heaven, but every pet I have ever had they have distinct personality. I can't imagine that a creature with a personality and some forward thought couldn't go to...

AnneDePalma I believe that animals do go to heaven. Animals have memories and they show their likes and dislikes. To me that means that they have a soul, just as we do. I don't think that a loving God would not have animals in heaven. They are so innocent and pure. And I...

AnneDePalma I don't agree with you at all!! I am a Roman Catholic and I think that the Catholic Church has grown and evolved so much over the last couple of years. It has truly become a Church of tolerance and understanding. When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's,...

AnneDePalma That sounds like a wonderful 12-step program. I love chocolate too. My favorite dessert is S'mores made in the microwave, and it's low calorie. You take two Graham Cracker sheets, cut one in half and place that on a plate. Then take a Hershey chocolate bar and...

would you get into a relationship with someone who is 14 years older than you?

fake_you @fake_you (391) • Philippines 29 May 09

AnneDePalma I don't think it's a good idea to get into a relationship with someone that much older than you. Because that person is from a different generation than you and might not have very much in common with you. I've noticed that things that make my grown children...
