Why do you think most people started using human names for their pets?

tinym8 @tinym8 (420) • United States 26 Apr 13

In the past, we were familiar with having pets named after such things as their disposition or their fur color. For example, dogs were called such names as Smokey or Mischief or Happy and cats might be Fluffy or Princess. Now...

cerebellum People seem more attached to their pets now than before. They treat them like part of the family. They even get them clothes and things that humans would wear. I think that is why more and more people are naming pets human names.

cerebellum She will regret it someday. Maybe she thinks if the kids are out of the way for awhile he will change his mind. He might accept his own kids someday, but probably not someone else's. I wouldn't even give up my pets for a man, let alone any kids.

cerebellum As we get older, things change and sometimes you can't or don't keep in touch with your friends, and then when you do see them it is like no time has passed. I am lucky enough to have quite a few friends like this.

Boston Deserted

An inspiration from the Boston Marathon tragedy.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 18 Apr 13

The Boston Marathon bombing was definitely an act from a sick mind, a heartless evil, a disgusting coward of a creature, a psycho. The Boston Marathon was a festive event, as in all marathons, where people come to run, to get...

Am finally not addicted to coffee anymore.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 18 Apr 13

Used to be, not a day goes by without six mugs of coffee, minimum. It was heartbreaking, really, to know that one is addicted to something that is detrimental to the health. Bitter though the taste, it was as if coffee was...

cerebellum I like water better than most drinks also. As long as it is really cold, I think it tastes good! I have to drink decaf anyway, so I don't really care about coffee. Sometimes when I am cold I want it because it is warm, but other than that I don't care.

cerebellum That is very true! Instead of viewing people according to the stereotypes that we have grown up with, we should try and understand different cultures. I guess being afraid of anything different has a lot to do with it. Even in the bombings in Boston, the first...

cerebellum I have never heard of that, but it is a good idea. If they can do it with coffee, I don't see why they couldn't do it with soup or other kinds of food. Coffee would be much cheaper, but most of the companies could pay for it and consider it advertising. The...
