When you are listening to music, how do you keep the volume?

buchi_bulla @Buchi_bulla (8298) • India 5 Nov 09

In my house, while listening to music, my daughter keeps the volume of TV or music system very low so that only she can listen to it. I and my husband do not get satisfaction by such a low volume. We keep moderately high volume....

Staraven When I'm listening to music, I generally keep it so that only I can hear it. If I like the song a lot, I'll turn it up. I do have times where I blare it, but they are few and far between (: When I'm watching TV, I love turning it up loud!!!

How many discussions do you report on a daily basis?

diamania @diamania (7011) • Netherlands 5 Nov 09

Staraven Report? I generally try not to go to the extent of getting someone in trouble unless it was a very big offense. So far I haven't had to hit that button (:

Staraven I've met two of my online friends in real life. But I had both my parents with me, plus my 4 siblings who are still living at home. And the two people I was meeting brought their parents along, too. We met in a public place, and my mom had spoken to their mom...

How long can you focus on what you're doing?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 5 Nov 09

Regardless the task at hand, how long can you focus on something? I have a very short focus time, I guess, it's because I can't seem to sit and do any work for the whole hour without the need for breaks, a little walking, or...

Staraven I suppose I could go for *about* an hour with boring things, if I really tried. Most likely, it would be less than that. It depends on what it is, really. School I can focus on for two or three hours, pretty much straight. Because the subjects are constantly...

Staraven I agree with you that it appears to be a good cause of anxiety. Who knows if she could be getting these people addicted to their meds, instead of only giving them what they need. If the police won't do anything, and the doctors won't do anything, I think that...

Do you think half year is enough for couples to get marry?

dreamercancan @dreamercancan (15) • China 5 Nov 09

Acturally I don't agree to get this serious decision in such short time. How can you make sure that you can understand and know well about each other in just half year? Are you confident enought to keep the relaship well in years...

Staraven I definitely agree with you; I think that for *most* people, it would be unwise to make such a life-altering decision in such short time, unless you're okay with setting yourself up for a possible divorce. As I said - for *most* it would be a bad thing. I...

Does Tea Really Keep Us Healthy?

getbrowser @getbrowser (1708) • China 5 Nov 09

Staraven I think that tea is, for the most part, healthy. It has antioxidants in it, and besides that, it is often comforting. There are decaf teas nowadays, too, so that adds to the health factor. It also reduces the chances of getting addicted. However, I don't...

K.Rajib G. @krajibg (11922) • Guwahati, India 5 Nov 09

Staraven For me, I suppose I'm fine where I'm at. Of course, it could get better. But it could get worse, too. And I've lived in this house all my life, so it'd be very strange to think of starting over.

Staraven Wow! That's one determined woman! Kudos to her! Though, I wonder if it's a good thing to potentially have a driver on the road who failed that many times...Well, maybe she's learned enough about it now, since she passed the exam. I think I'd probably try 5...

At what age did you or would you start to tell your children about religion?

MAllen400 @MAllen400 (829) 6 Nov 09

No matter what religion you are or have, what is the ideal time to start telling your new born baby about it? I find a lot of children over in England are told about Santa Claus before being told about Jesus. They are not too...

Staraven I think that it can't really start too young. When I was younger, my mom would sing, "Rock A-Bye, Baby" to me, as well as "Jesus Loves Me." My sister has a 2-year-old and she knows 3 Bible verses already. If they're old enough to retain information, they're...

Staraven I'm very sorry about your kitten! :( I think that if this happens again, you should go ahead and take your pet to the vet (if you can afford it). That way, maybe the pet will get better. And even if the pet doesn't get better, maybe you will know the cause...

Staraven If possible, I get take-out for what is left of my food. But sometimes I do waste food (not a whole PLATE of something, but say, the last bit of this and that). If I'm too full to eat it all, I'd rather trash it than make myself sick trying to stuff it down.

Staraven I'm not a very strong believer in the law of attraction. That's where you think positively about something and it comes to you, right? I think a positive attitude helps you to not be hindered by negative thoughts. But it doesn't necessarily bring you what...

Would you rather have eldest brother or sister?

careguarden @careguarden (5670) • Philippines 4 Nov 09

Staraven I'd choose an older sister, simply because I am a girl and I'd benefit very much from her experience in life that she's having ahead of me. An older brother is a *guy* therefore he's not going to be much help with emotional stress (: I have one older...
