I've just finished reading through the Discworld series for about the 20th time - I can't get enough of them! Started reading them about 5 years ago (after scorning them in High School because they looked too childish! lol) and...

Silverchic Apparently it is the book that gave him the idea for the Discworld series. I don't know how far you are through the book so I won't give the secret away! =)

Men should not wear womens clothes and women should not wear mens clothes.Women should dress in a way where she will be seen as a women. The bible is clear on this subject. What do you recon?

Silverchic I think this is a bit outdated - it may have worked 1000 years ago but certainly wouldn't work in today's culture. I do so many things that I couldn't do if I was forbidden from wearing pants! I pretty much live in jeans all year round and where I work it...

Whenever I am invited to for dinner with family or friends, I will offer to bring something. If they tell me not to bring anything, I usually offer to bring dessert, I insist upon it. There have been times when we pick up a...

Silverchic With family we usually take either a plate of nibblies for an entree type thing, or dessert. Friends, it's usually a bottle of wine (or other alcohol that they drink). I don't know why it's different though...I mean we don't usually take alcohol to family...

I am amazed in how many parents refused to let their kids out the front door just to play with other kids down the street! I remember when I was a kid over 30 nearly 40 years ago, our parents didnt hear from us all day but we...

Silverchic Kids not being outside so much these days isn't just due to CWS...they are just getting lazier! Instead of going and playing a game of footy down at the oval they would prefer to play reality football on the computer or the playstation! It's terrible! But...

I like to know what are your reasons for not helping someone who requires help, when you have done your Senior First Aid! I have found out that alot of people have done their Senior First Aid but too scared to help the victim...

Silverchic I've done my Senior First Aid and thankfully, haven't had to use it yet! It's one of those things (like insurance) that you have but you hope to never need...I like to think that nothing would stop me helping someone if the need arose. That was the reason I...

First Aid kits are not expensive but a very handy tool to have in your vehicle. Do you have one in yours? You dont need to be qualified to use one, but it certainly pays to learn first aid as well. How many times have you had...

Silverchic I have my own little made up kit (half from a standard kit but I needed it in a different shaped container) that I've added heaps to so now it doubles as a survival kit as well! lol Sunscreen, flyspray, calamine etc etc and I also keep a first aid book in the...

Silverchic I know the feeling...and for some reason it's always the unintelligent discussions that get plenty of responses. You actually ask about something you want to know and you generally only get your friends responding. But just keep at it...and I've noticed the...

Silverchic But also I've found when you read a book you get your own idea of what the characters look like - then you watch the movie and you are sitting there saying "That's not right! Such-and-such doesn't look like that! He's meant to be a lot taller" or something...

Silverchic I was thinking of this also...but there is just so many little problems with the whole idea. Assuming you worked out all the new restrictions, licences, exemptions etc - how would it be policed? I wouldn't like to drive my 4wd to the city and be picked up all...

Silverchic That's the argument I hate - "I need the space!" There are plenty of station wagons and large sedans out there these days! lol And yes, in cyclone area's you pretty much need to have a 4wd - especially if you would like to be able to make it to the next...

Silverchic Absolutely! I've since worked out that it isn't the people who disagree with me - it's the one's who disagree nastily! If you are polite about disagreeing then I will give a + rating. But be mean/nasty/rude/racist/sexist etc etc then you will get a -...

Silverchic Is it just me or have a lot of the "I agree" and other extremely short responses been slowly disappearing? Maybe those users are finally learning that they won't earn anything with silly answers like that....oh well I can dream anyway! lol

Silverchic 4000ft?? Oh no - I prefer much higher! Something along the lines of 14,000ft! lol And don't guarantee on it conquering your fear of heights...I'm still terrified of heights (and believe it or not, so are a lot of skydivers!).
