chocolatechilli Wow, that looks awesome. My mother also does cross stitch. Have you looked at the website www.etsy.com? It is apparently a great place to sell all types of craft items. Otherwise try ebay. Good luck to you.

chocolatechilli Yes, the animals are protected, but we turn them into something they were not supposed to be. I believe the better option is to create a space - like in some places in Africa - where they can exist in an environment as close as possible to their natural home....

Do you ever feel like there's no one to talk too?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 21 Apr 11

Have you ever felt like there is no one to talk too? Even though you may have lots of friends and family that you could always talk to. Does it seem like though that everyone and including ourselves are so busy? That for example...

chocolatechilli I think the lost art is really listening. Sometimes you have these conversations running in your head, with a friend, but when you get the chance to talk, somehow it does not happen the way you planned. Or sometimes they act uninterested. Someone willing to...

chocolatechilli My thoughts are with you and with your friend... Your friend sounds like a very courageous person, but a double whammy like that can such a blow to hope and positive thoughts. First, listen to your friend. I mean, really listen. Pick up your cues from where...

chocolatechilli There are different types of tea that can be very good for you. Chamomile for instance is very soothing, and tea brewed from leaves of the herb feverfew, can cure headaches (but it tastes really awful!!!). I've heard green tea is good for digestion. I think in...

chocolatechilli I have had some success through elance. You can create a free account with limited privileges. As with odesk, you bid on writing jobs, but unlike odesk, the minimum bid you can place on any job is $50.

chocolatechilli I knew an African woman who used to say, under those circumstances: 'I'm from the village, what do I know?' which I wish I could have said on many occasions. Usually I just laugh at the wrong time - and too loud too!

chocolatechilli You are right. Payback can be a b!tch. However, in our multi-cultural society, the definition of 'doing good' can also vary, and that is the confusing bit. In my cosmopolitan city, doing exactly the same thing, could compliment one person and insult another....

What led to the entire North Africa unrests and demands for democracy?

themaximilian @themaximilian (92) • Germany 19 Mar 11

There must have been something that caused all the people to demonstrate and finally demand reforms and democracy and freedom. I mean, they have lived in the previous system for years and years ... can anyone explain that to me?

chocolatechilli One can also ask why they did not try before. I think a different mind set takes hold when people see the citizens of one country succeeding. The same thing happened in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s to early 1990s. Once people saw the Berlin Wall falling,...
