caussara Hi suspenseful, I too am working on a fantasy novel and yeah, something like that has happened to me, to the point that I had to go back and redraw some of my map for my world. And I had one character that was suppose to be a secondary character that took on...

Is Jay Mohr gone?

patgalca @patgalca (18369) • Orangeville, Ontario 28 Aug 08

I just saw as commercial showing that Jay Mohr has his own sitcom this coming season. Does this mean he is leaving Ghost Whisperer? I hope not. I love him on that show (and I'm sure I will love him on his own sitcom - "Unmarried...

caussara Yup, it looks like he is going for good off the show. I did a wiki search on him and came up with a lot of interesting stuff. Did you know he has also written 2 or 3 books and still does some radio. He seems to be very talented and I am sure he will be...

greenline @greenline (14838) • Canada 26 Aug 08

Am I Ugly or Attractive?

singlemommy @singlemommy (2955) • United States 24 Aug 08

Okay, I want your HONEST opinion. I'm single and I have been for a while. Now, I also have two children, so going out to meet new people is very hard for me to. My life is pretty much, work and kids. Sometimes I don't feel like I...

caussara I don't think you are ugly at all. I think you have a very nice smile, kind eyes and a very good complexion. I do think that the angle of the photo is unflattering. Did you take it yourself or have someone else take it. The upward slant like that is...

putting a pet to sleep

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 26 Aug 08

We've had to put several pets to sleep over the years. My husband has always discouraged me from being there. I think he thought he was protecting me. The last time, when our cat, Tiger, had kidney failure, I insisted. I felt so...

caussara It is so sad when we have to put down a beloved pet. I have had to do it a couple times and could not stay either time. Ya just have to remember that it is better than making them suffer and be in pain when that time comes. I am one of those criers and I knew...

patience...is it still a virtue nowadays?

jaymezroolz @jaymezroolz (231) • Philippines 29 Aug 08

I think we all know about the age-old saying "patience is a virtue". I'm starting to wonder: would it still hold true these days where everything is so fast-paced and activities and schedules are always hectic? Just the other...

What inspires you to write

cmcloughlin1218 @cmcloughlin1218 (265) • United States 29 Aug 08

What makes you want to write? Music, art, video games, women, men etc. Every writer has a center and every writer has a path to get to that center. I find that exersize helps me write (which I don't do enough of), or a nice long...

which heroes character has the best power?

gohan123 @gohan123 (28) • India 28 Aug 08

heroes

caussara I think Hiro's power to travel through time is also cool. As with all of them, they are shown as very vulnerable to the temptation to use their powers for self. That makes them very human, but it also makes you wonder just who is going to emerge as a true...
