Do you eat soup, or do you drink it?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 29 Oct 07

This is one of life's big questions that has puzzled me for years. Thank goodness for myLot! Now I can finally learn the answer to my question. Is soup eaten or drunk? (drank? you get the idea...)

drink

eat

soup

SereneDragon I would say that it honestly depends on what kind of soup you are talking about. For instance, something like Minestrone, which has a ton of veggies and/or meat in it would be eaten I would think. While something like plain old tomato soup could be considered...

Do you ever forget to turn on the burner or oven when your cooking?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 16 Aug 07

I do. I just did it right now. I've done it more times than I should admit... I'm making meatballs in spaghetti sauce. I put them in the pot, put them on the stove, and forgot to turn on the burner. They were sitting there...

SereneDragon I actually have a problem with turning on the wrong burner. Several times I've gone into the kitchen to stir something, only to find it cold and the burner next to it blazing red hot!

Do you talk on the phone while your in the bathroom?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 13 Aug 07

I know a few people who do this. They think nothing of it. I can't do it. I'd be too embarrassed. Some things you just don't share. Am I too uptight or do you agree with me?

SereneDragon I agree with you whole-heartedly! There are just some things that are private. My hubby does this all the time, it doesn't matter if he is at home or work and it drives me crazy. I am seeing this happening more and more when I use public restrooms too! Icky!

Hunting: Is It a Sport or Just Plain Murder?

myfanwy65 @myfanwy65 (1030) • United States 9 Aug 07

What is your opinion? I don't like the thought of hunting as a sport. If you need the meat for food, I think it's ok. Or if you don't absolutely have to have it, but you do eat it, it's ok. But, those hunting preserves where they...

SereneDragon I agree with you whole-heartedly. If the meat is going to be used for food, I fully support that. However, I have seen people with just the "racks" of deer in the back of their trucks and that really makes me angry. Hunting preserves are ridiculous, the poor...

SereneDragon Sometimes I will pick something special up that they've been wanting (i.e. cd, dvd, bottle of wine). Other times I will offer to help with something that they don't want to/or don't have time to do (cleaning out the garage etc.) It is important to show people...

ranjeetkolarkar @ranjeetkolarkar (1595) • India 8 Aug 07

SereneDragon My favorite wine is actually a red table wine called "Insatiable". It is a blend of Merlot and two other wines. It has a great balance between sweetness and bitterness and goes with almost any meal.

Rainy Day - Do you love/hate going to office on a rainy day?

ranjeetkolarkar @ranjeetkolarkar (1595) • India 9 Aug 07

Here in Mumbai, on a rainy day, the things turn out to be very chaotic. The roads, the highways and the railway lines get submerged under the water and the trains stop running. Mumbai, being a huge metropolitan city, people need...

SereneDragon I actually love going to work when it's raining because I love the rain. Sometimes traffic can get backed up and people drive crazy which is not very much fun.

Underwear For Sale at Yard Sales

SereneDragon Ick! That is beyond gross! But I guess if people really can't afford it, that would be a viable option.

Pagan Membership Club

myfanwy65 @myfanwy65 (1030) • United States 13 Jul 07

Who gets to decide if someone is Pagan? Should it be up to anyone else to tell you if you are Pagan or not? Does it matter if you do or don't eat meat, belong to a coven, live in a large city, or do or don't have pets? What is the...

SereneDragon One of the things that attracted me to Paganism is the lack of rigid structure that is present in other mainstream religions. I eat meat, live in a big city, have a cat, and don't belong to a coven. I think what matters most is what is in your heart, you...

SereneDragon I was forced by my mother to stay in the Catholic Church until I was 18 (her house, her rules), which of course contributed to me leaving the church. Also, as I got older, I started to question some of its beliefs regarding the roles of women, and the rigid...

Do you find it difficult to select a best response?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 19 Jul 07

I am going to be trying to focus on selecting best responses over the next few days. I find this a difficult task because I tend to have a hard time choosing favorites. Is it easy for you to choose best responses or difficult?

SereneDragon If I have quite a few responses it takes me awhile to pick one as well. It's hard too because sometimes I'll have 2-3 responses that I think are fantastic. Maybe MyLot should come up with an "honorable" mention award or something.

Have you ever seen the movie The Witches of Eastwick?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 17 Jul 07

I know it's an old movie. It just randomly came to my mind! Was that not the BEST movie ever? I loved the way it all started off so innocently and then it got twisted as the movie moved along.

SereneDragon That is an excellent movie. I think we have it on VHS somewhere. I thought the whole cast did a terrific job on this film. Especially Jack Nicholson, I mean who better to play the devil right?!

Have you ever peed in a pool?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 17 Jul 07

SereneDragon This happens to me all the time, most recently on Monday. I have been trying to get in the habit of attaching files before I even start writing the body of the e-mail. Luckily most of my clients are good-natured about it because it has happened to them too!

If you know someone is harming their pet what would you do?

TriciaW @TriciaW (2441) • United States 11 Jul 07

If you knew they weren't feeding their pet or leaving them out in the high heat without water what would you do? Would you take the pet? Would you call animal control? With the weather being the way it is this can happen a lot....

SereneDragon I would call animal control just because everyone seems to be litigation happy these days (I'd probably get arrested for dog napping if I took the animal in). Regardless of the situation, I always do something to try and get the animal taken care of.
