Astraea The only time it should be permitted NOT to take your dog for walks is if it's very ill. There's no need at all to force a dog to stay outside. Dogs want to run on fields or bathe in lakes. Dogs should be taken on walks AT LEAST three times a day, more if...

All of us love to have pets, dogs, cats, parrot etc. We call them by a name, which we like the most. What is the name of your pet?

Astraea I didn't pick my cat's names since I got them from an animal shelter. But my youngest cat's name is Boris which means "Wolf" in Russian, and my oldest cat's name is Sixten which is Old Norse for the words "victory" and "stone".

Astraea My teacher forced me to read some verse in fourth grade, but honestly I think the Bible and other "holy" scripts are just made up stories. Don't take me wrong, I DO believe in a soul, but I'm not about to put my faith in a book that says it's alright to kill...

Astraea She is not "extremely ill" as you keep saying. She's been suffering from these things before and the local vet says it's fine as long as she's still drinking and is conscious. She's on an annual control each year and her organs are working just fine, she just...

we do have different phobias or fears. Some of us may have fear of heights, some may have fear of public speaking, others may have fear of open space. Personally I can say that I have fear of rats. So when there's rat inside the...

Astraea I can assure you that most people you meet every day carry far more - and worse - diseases on them than any wild animal you will ever meet, though.

Astraea The longest time to respond to a discussion was about two hours. I don't remember exactly what it was about, but it was something philosophical so it took quite some time to think through everything and write it down. But most discussions take about ten...

Dear mylotters, I will graduate from the university next year. Now i feel very mixed-up about my future after graduation. I don't konw which choice is better: further study or just to look for a job. A few students in my class...

choice

3 responses

Astraea That would depend on what you're studying. Not all programmes or courses can lead to jobs, so a university graduation won't automatically make anyone get a job or become rich and famous. On the other hand, most programmes can be supplemented by a few extra...

I would choose to be deaf because I think being blind would mean I would be lacking alot more on what I could and couldn't do. I wouldn't want to be as dependent on others for that reason.

Astraea I'd rather not suffer from any of those, but if I had to choose I would pick being deaf. That's because I like painting, playing music and cooking and being blind would make that A LOT harder, though by no means impossible.

My dog is a cross between a chiwawa and a terrier. He isn't a very big dog and he is a short hair. Now even though he is only 8 years old, he has cold induced arthritis and as such, going out in the cold is really hard for him. He...

Astraea There are prescription free medications for arthritis. Just give him glucosamine and he should be better. It helped my dog who is a 14 year old terrier.

Albert Einstein once said that "Imagination is more important than knowledge". Others say that your imagination is the force that can take you to places you've never been. My interpretation of that (as a student of The Law of...

Astraea My thoughts are similar to yours. When you imagine something you eventually starts to believe in it. If you believe you can get a good job, you have higher chance of getting it than someone who believes they never can get a good job. While nothing is...

Astraea I don't think I've ever clicked on the negative button, and the only reason I would do it would be if someone wrote something extremely short (like three words), discusses something completely different from the original discussion or is trying to cheat. I do...

Astraea I'm not afraid of rats or mouses, but my mother is. A few years ago my cat brought home a dead rat he had catched out in the forest. My mother started to scream like a maniac, almost crying as soon as she saw it. I, on the other hand, just calmly picked it up,...
