English is changing

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5968) • Greece 18 Sep 12

Language never stays the same, you only have to read Shakespeare to know that. There is no way of checking but the pronunciation must have changed a great deal too. I was happy to go along with this until I found that the meaning...

Dear 'meatless' omnivores....

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 17 Sep 12

Why do people who prefer no meat try SO hard to come up with reasons why EVERYONE should do the same? Humans are NOT really vegetarians or vegans (herbivores), humans are OMNIVORES. That means we are actually meant to eat both,...

beeeckie I gave up trying to convert people to veggie-ism ages ago. It works for me, it doesn't work for others, or my dogs or cats. I make my own dogs' treats so I know what's in them, but I get upset seeing the body parts going in the food processor... :(

Dogs and their Gross Breath

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 21 Aug 12

So my cute little dog was suffering from a case of extremely bad breath, advice from his vet tells us that giving him a spoonful of plain yogurt every once in awhile is supposed to help this and so far it has. Have you ever heard...

beeeckie I'm glad your vet suggested yogurt rather than immediately medicating your dog. It may be a yeast related breath problem. One of our dogs has chronic yeast ear infections and they smell FUNKY. blech. We began giving her acidophilus pills (the active culture in...

My husband and I were up late last night and he said it wouldn't be long before our roommate flooded my phone with text messages this morning. Sure enough, as soon as he came back inside from taking his dog out, he did. He...

katie0 @katie0 (5203) • Japan 14 Apr 12

beeeckie I don't have kids - but I think children have a difficult time understanding the permanent implications of putting information on the internet. It really lasts forever, and they don't grasp what that truly means, even most teenagers. Parents should take...

Are you scared of getting older?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 21 Jan 12

I've been miserable today because my ankle has been hurting and stopping me from doing all the things I want to. I've been carrying on as normal, though I've been noticeably slower. I have a pretty active lifestyle, and my body...

beeeckie I turn 30 in three weeks. I kind of can't wait. Because of a serious neck injury in 2010, I do get stiffness and pain and headaches, but I take care of that and have recently taken care of a lot of other health issues as well. We're all going to get older and...

How important are looks in a president?

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 21 Jan 12

Newt NOW doesn't believe that politicians private lives should be investigated?

Newt Gingrich attacked John King on Thursday night because media outlets have been investigating his private life, and former marriages. We all remember Newt supported the Ken Starr's witch hunt into Bill Clinton's private life...

The captain goes down with the ship or does he?

beeeckie He broke Italian maritime law for leaving the ship before he knew the evacuation was fully underway or done. Period. Check out the story of the Oceanos, which was about 20 years ago off the coast of South Africa. The crew completely abandoned ship then, and...

The Fine Line

foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 17 Jan 12

I was thinking about the difference between what's "right" and what's "good". Let's say that there's an old homeless man on the streets. There's a truck nearby, and it crashes. The back of the truck is filled with bread, which...

beeeckie it may not be legally right, but it would be morally proper to let him have some bread. Heck, the company transporting the bread would probably be obligated to throw it away anyway, due to being scattered on the ground. Companies have to cover themselves like...

Anyone know an effective alternative treatment for bruxism (during sleep)?

harrup @harrup (2) 17 Jan 12

I can't sleep with anything in my mouth so mouth guards etc are out of the question for me.

beeeckie I hate to jump immediately on the pill option, but...possibly pills under medical supervision? The benefits of stuff like Ambien can outweigh the risks, sometimes. I have never taken it myself, so I have no real clue apart from asking your doctor.

Why famous actors get into all kinds of trouble and drugs?

lady Di @lady1993 (27224) • Philippines 29 Nov 10

beeeckie Non-famous people get into all kinds of trouble and drugs too - the difference is that famous people have a hungry media environment ready to swarm all over them the moment they make a stumble. Humans love to see others on pedestals fall from grace for various...
