Do your kids still believe in Santa, The Easter Bunny, etc?

misheleen73 @misheleen73 (6037) • United States 4 Apr 07

My eldest is 9, going on 10 this month. Some time after Christmas he came to me very seriously and asked "Mommy, is Santa real" I asked why he wanted to know and what he thought. He said all the kids in school say he isn't. He...

XandraBeast I don't remember when exactly I found out about Santa, etc. It just sort of sunk in slowly over a period of time. But it made me extremely bitter. I did not like (and still don't, really) the idea that I had been lied to as a child, especially with a tale that...

I just can't keep up....

Stephanie5 @Stephanie5 (2946) • United States 25 Mar 07

My goodness! My children and this house wears me out!!! I know that so many of you probably feel the same way... I just can't keep up with everything. I have to learn to organize better or something because seriously, I just...

XandraBeast You know, that sounds a lot like my mom's experience. She would grouse after us all the time and we were terribly forgetful and disorganized. The honest truth is that all of us - my mom and my siblings, have ADD/ADHD (it gets passed down). And that is why...

The Ultimate Truth

Wife is the ultimate truth in a man's life. What say you?

family

truth

wife

XandraBeast I'm not really sure what you mean. Although, in general, I find it hard for a person to be an ultimate truth, or even a relationship. It seems to me like an ultimate truth would stretch beyond all mundane things.

madonna or britney?

saraelorama @saraelorama (264) • Philippines 3 Apr 07

would you go for classic pop madonna or the younger version britney?

pop queen

XandraBeast Madonna, definitely. I find it very hard to like Britney, but I'm not really sure why. The only song I ever really liked by her was "Toxic" which *surprise* had Madonna in it *lol*.

What song do you relate to the most?

gamerchick @gamerchick (33) • United States 28 Mar 07

What song do you relate to the most? Why? I would say that I relate best to "girl" in little earthquakes. Simply because sometimes I do feel like I've been living for everyone else

XandraBeast For the longest time I related most to "Crucify" and "Precious Things". And then, after a while, it was "Cruel" and "Raspberry Swirl" and "Take to the Sky". Now? I'm not sure. I may have to listen to Beekeeper again.

Is the beauty of mind more important than pysical beauty while choosing your ma?

jamie622 @jamie622 (508) • India 3 Apr 07

Be honest . Can you really overlook the lack of physical beauty in your partner if he or she has a beautiful mind ? What if : a. your partner has average looks . b. is really ugly .

a beautiful mind

beautiful mind over beautiful body

XandraBeast I believe that I could reach a state in which all is beautiful simply because it exists. In such a state, the question you've posed would become moot. The idea of beauty is one of many constructs that humans created to categorize the world, making it easier to...

What is your motivation for writing ?

jamie622 @jamie622 (508) • India 3 Apr 07

If you are a writer or love to write , what is your motivation to write . Is it that you have an uncoscious motivation that you have never thought of but exists ? Do we really need some motivation .Can't we just write for...

XandraBeast That's a really tough question! I'm not sure where my motivation comes from or what it is really. I think it might have something to do with just the basic urge to communicate. Humans are essentially social creatures, and as such have a need to communicate. So...

ani difranco's new baby girl!

craftyone77 @craftyone77 (5) • United States 26 Feb 07

so, i know i'm about a month and a half late on this one, but i'm still super exicted for ani difranco and her new little girl petah. i've done several searches and can't seem to find a picture of this beautiful new family...

XandraBeast I suspect that the lack of pictures may in fact be intentional an Ani's part. I'm only speculating, but she seems like the type that would protect her child from popular culture at all costs. It is well known that people often suffer from growing up in the...

Have anybody been able to find similarities between biblical principle of life and Buddhism?? I could find a lot of them...even though Buddhism is basically atheistic!!!!

XandraBeast Actually if you study much mythology, anthropology, and comparative religion, you'll find parallels in most belief systems and cultures. Some of it is just common sense and wisdom, some of it is just common prejudice and xenophobia. I would also have to agree...

Which best fits you, Yin or Yang?

madmax2crazy @madmax2crazy (1569) • United States 20 Nov 06

The concepts of Yin and Yang originate in ancient Chinese philosophy and metaphysics, which describes two primal opposing but complementary forces found in all things in the universe. Yin (Chinese: ?/?; pinyin: yin; literally...

XandraBeast I think it may be misleading to say that one or the other is male or female. When I was reading a translation of the Tao Te Ching, the translator said that in the Chinese there was no mention of male or female, that the idea of ascribing masculine and feminine...

XandraBeast I have known a lot of people like that. It makes it hard to be optimistic about life and the world in general. Truthfully, I think those sorts of people have just chosen to stop growing and learning. So they get stuck in whatever ideas they have, unable to see...

XandraBeast I love Manson. Why? Well, that's kind of tough to answer. Mostly it's an almost physical response to the sound of his music and the sound of his voice. I fall in love with every song all over again each time I listen to them. I also really respect the...

XandraBeast My favorite album is definitely Golden Age of the Grotesque, followed closely by Holy Wood and Mechanical Animals. I find his older stuff a little harder to get into, but I suppose that's not very suprising since I AM a Bowie fan too. *lol*

What is your favorite board game?

ShadyGrove @ShadyGrove (996) • United States 3 Mar 07

Long ago and far away before computers, board games were the thing for family fun or for when friends got together for an evening. What was (or still is) your favorite board game? I remember playing Life and Monopoly for...

XandraBeast Awwww, you mean I have to pick one? hehe. I love games of all sorts, on the computer and off. I have a whole cabinet dedicated to board and card games, but alas I am so distracted these days that I rarely play them. I grew up playing Monopoly, Aggrevation,...
