DogArtist There are many reasons not to use your real name online - one of them here in particular is so that you can feel more free about saying what you think. You might be shy to do that if people could track you down over the internet. The other reason, of...

Writing has always been one of my strong points. I've been meaning to start writing a book about my experiences in life. (Teen pregnancy, abuse, teen parenting) But I just can't seem to format it. I've always looked to some...

DogArtist Just get all the words down that occur to you and worry about getting them in order afterwards because then you'll have something to work with. If you worry too much up front about what you're doing with it, instead of doing it, you'll freeze yourself up. I...

DogArtist hehe - you gave me a laugh. I love your expression, 'contribution to the world' in this context. Sometimes I gasp. More often I do wonder how on earth it all got into my dog and I expect to see his hind end gradually lifting off the ground as it comes out.

If anything difficult is there that is keeping your relationship intact and alive, be it with your relatives or friends. The first and foremost cause of this difficulty, what I feel, is that we are more keen on receiving than...

DogArtist Sometimes people are very selfish and tell their loved one something because it makes THEM feel better - they've been feeling guilty about it - but all it does is make their loved one feel worse - it doesn't achieve anything. So sometimes I think you should...

DogArtist Neelygal - did you actually make a point of asking him to come to your daughter's birthday party? Did you give him an invitation? Did you say to him that you would be disappointed if he didn't turn up? Maybe he wanted to come but didn't know if he was really...

DogArtist Hey agrim I'd go with the .com for the reason you've already stated - it's the first thing people think of. I sometimes take a while to find places because I'm not thinking of 'org' - when I need to be thinking of 'org'. Com will always be the first choice,...

I know a lot of guys who won't date a girl if his friend's don't think she's hot. That's the dumbest reason not to date someone! If you're attracted to the person, shouldn't that be the only thing that matters? I had a friend who...

DogArtist What a shame that people can't seem to think for themselves. Why should they expect other people to make up their minds for them? If only the girl knew this was the kind of guy she might date - then she wouldn't date him!

DogArtist Thank you. I will do the best I can for them. They are such lovely dogs - so intelligent and so full of character and loyal. They don't want much and yet they give so much in return.

DogArtist I agree with you - the problem is not the dog or its breed - it's the owners. Some people just use animals for their own ends - either to make money from so-called 'sport' or to fit their image or just because it's the thing to do. Ban the irresponsible...

DogArtist I have two dogs - both from rescue homes. They are Border Collies. They are supposed to be brother and sister, but I don't think they are. She has brown in her coat, whereas he is totally black-coated. They are getting old now, though, which is very sad as...

DogArtist Thank you very much! I don't really understand what I'm supposed to be doing about adding friends and things yet, so it's very nice of you to add me as your friend. I know - it's dreadful if I do stay up too late - I can't handle it these days - but if a book...

DogArtist I agree with you. Concentrate on your diet because you have to eat to live so you need to think about everything you put in your mouth. However, maybe 5 times a week do try to do 20 minutes exercise even if it's just a brisk walk.

DogArtist I use a lot of keyboard short cuts because it's quicker, and because I'm on the computer so much that using the mouse too much has started to make my fingers stiff. So I'm learning more and more short cuts because I'm fine on the keyboard even though I find...
