Astraea The only time it should be permitted NOT to take your dog for walks is if it's very ill. There's no need at all to force a dog to stay outside. Dogs want to run on fields or bathe in lakes. Dogs should be taken on walks AT LEAST three times a day, more if...

What is the name of your pet?

dante_off @dante_off (607) • India 21 Nov 10

All of us love to have pets, dogs, cats, parrot etc. We call them by a name, which we like the most. What is the name of your pet?

Astraea I didn't pick my cat's names since I got them from an animal shelter. But my youngest cat's name is Boris which means "Wolf" in Russian, and my oldest cat's name is Sixten which is Old Norse for the words "victory" and "stone".

Do you read the Bible

DBK2009 @DBK2009 (6) • United States 20 Nov 10

Do you read the bible or do you read everything that doesn't pertain to God? We all know that newspapers, magazines and news channels display nothing but violence and nothing positive. Can you really used this information to...

Astraea My teacher forced me to read some verse in fourth grade, but honestly I think the Bible and other "holy" scripts are just made up stories. Don't take me wrong, I DO believe in a soul, but I'm not about to put my faith in a book that says it's alright to kill...

Astraea The longest time to respond to a discussion was about two hours. I don't remember exactly what it was about, but it was something philosophical so it took quite some time to think through everything and write it down. But most discussions take about ten...

further study or job-hunting?

happyforever @happyforever (191) • China 20 Nov 10

Dear mylotters, I will graduate from the university next year. Now i feel very mixed-up about my future after graduation. I don't konw which choice is better: further study or just to look for a job. A few students in my class...

choice

3 responses

Astraea That would depend on what you're studying. Not all programmes or courses can lead to jobs, so a university graduation won't automatically make anyone get a job or become rich and famous. On the other hand, most programmes can be supplemented by a few extra...

Would You Rather Be Deaf or Blind If You Had To Choose?

elmiko @elmiko (6630) • United States 21 Nov 10

I would choose to be deaf because I think being blind would mean I would be lacking alot more on what I could and couldn't do. I wouldn't want to be as dependent on others for that reason.

blind

deaf

Astraea I'd rather not suffer from any of those, but if I had to choose I would pick being deaf. That's because I like painting, playing music and cooking and being blind would make that A LOT harder, though by no means impossible.

My dog is a cross between a chiwawa and a terrier. He isn't a very big dog and he is a short hair. Now even though he is only 8 years old, he has cold induced arthritis and as such, going out in the cold is really hard for him. He...

Astraea There are prescription free medications for arthritis. Just give him glucosamine and he should be better. It helped my dog who is a 14 year old terrier.

megamatt @megamatt (14290) • United States 21 Nov 10

I think it was sophomore Geometry in High School. I put in a lot of work. More work than I could even imagine. I just barely passed. It was just one subject that I did not get. How about you? Looking forward to reading your...

Life is imagination

realaccess @realaccess (31) 21 Nov 10

Albert Einstein once said that "Imagination is more important than knowledge". Others say that your imagination is the force that can take you to places you've never been. My interpretation of that (as a student of The Law of...

Astraea My thoughts are similar to yours. When you imagine something you eventually starts to believe in it. If you believe you can get a good job, you have higher chance of getting it than someone who believes they never can get a good job. While nothing is...

When You Are Tempted To Click Negative Rep and Just Don't Do It

Toni @toniganzon (75154) • Philippines 21 Nov 10

Somebody has asked before about giving discussions a positive or negative reputation and when does a person give that reputation. I didn't answer that thinking that I would never come to the point of giving someone a negative...

Astraea I don't think I've ever clicked on the negative button, and the only reason I would do it would be if someone wrote something extremely short (like three words), discusses something completely different from the original discussion or is trying to cheat. I do...

Ae you afraid of rats? Why?

mayrah @mayrah (1144) • United States 21 Nov 10

we do have different phobias or fears. Some of us may have fear of heights, some may have fear of public speaking, others may have fear of open space. Personally I can say that I have fear of rats. So when there's rat inside the...

Astraea I'm not afraid of rats or mouses, but my mother is. A few years ago my cat brought home a dead rat he had catched out in the forest. My mother started to scream like a maniac, almost crying as soon as she saw it. I, on the other hand, just calmly picked it up,...

Astraea I don't smoke. I never have and never will. I don't hate smokers, though. Almost my entire family consists of smokers, so I guess I'm the odd one out. I would never destroy my body by smoking or drinking.

Astraea The most important thing is his personality. That he is smart, daring, caring and fun. I won't lie and say that looks don't matter, cause they do, but it's not really a big deal. I'd rather be with someone sweet and charming who has the entire face covered in...

Astraea I sometimes do. I'm not too good with my hands, though, so it ends up a little strange. Even so, I find it very relaxing. It's almost like meditating, makes you feel calm and the hours fly by. And of course, it's great to give something you've embroidered...

Is the earth alive?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 30 Jul 09

I believe the earth itself to be a living breathing organism. I was wondering if anyone else here felt that way and if not how can vegetation grow on it? What are your thoughts?

breathing

living

Astraea Maybe not living in the sense that we are, but yes, Earth is surely alive. How can something dead give birth to life? I believe that there's some kind of universal spirit or soul that we all share, with each other and with the earth. If there's any "god", then...
