Do you have a Cat & Mouse story?

byfaithonly @byfaithonly (10698) • United States 1 Feb 07

Indy my cat just chased a mouse into my bedroom where I'm working and the mouse ran behind my bed. Indy is standing guard but not pursuing the mouse (the four legged kind not the computer kind). In the meantime I either move to...

chrisdodge I have two stories to tell about two different cats. On my 15th birthday, my cat came up to my room and sat 2 feet inside my door. Looked right at me with her big green eyes, and dropped a mouse on the floor for me. Surprise!! The mouse wasn't dead. It got...

gigarange @gigarange (1165) • United States 20 Feb 07

Most of the time, the name of our pet has reason. How did you come up with your cats name? anything special about it?

chrisdodge My first cat was a tortoise shell. I couldn't think of a name so I asked by 8 year old cousin if he had any ideas. He came up with Cocoa. Then his younger sister got on the phone and she said she wanted to name my cat too - the same name as her brother gave...

Do You Wear Your Shoes Indoors?

ItTakesAllSorts @ItTakesAllSorts (4096) 19 Feb 07

I know the Japanese custom is to take their shoes off at the door and to me this is a wise thing to do. I have read you can bring a certain amount of lead into your home by wearing your shoes indoors. Do you do this or are you...

chrisdodge To me it has always seemed strange to wear shoes in the house. I see it on TV all the time. I always thought maybe it was an American thing. Everyone I have ever met here in Ontario, Canada has taken their shoes off. It's expected. We don't need signs or to...

jesi06 @jesi06 (279) • United States 20 Jan 07

There is a SERIOUS issue that I would like to know more about. It is called "cutting". There is a female who I love very much that "cuts" or self mutilates her body at times when she gets into a depression mode. I would like to...

chrisdodge I only read a few of the posts, but the ones I read almost make it sound like every person does it for the same reason. But it's not true at all. Some people don't even know why they do it, sometimes it's just a compulsion somehow the idea is put in their...

Are men and women really equal?

wasim989 @wasim989 (2298) • India 21 Jan 07

We always talk about equality between men and women but are we really taking the issue about equality seriously. Every now and then I hear in the news that women can do everything that the men can do and some even says that women...

chrisdodge Men and women should have equal rights, but that does not mean that a woman can do as well as a man at some things and vice versa for others. The thing about your boxing comment, it's not that a woman couldn't do it, some could and do quite well I'm sure,...

burieks @burieks (127) • Philippines 17 Jan 07

chrisdodge My girlfriend almost always has the baby in our room on my side of the bed...and I end up on the couch. She prefers it that way because she's the one who has to get up with him in the middle of the night because I'm such a heavy sleeper and I'm the one who...

Global warming?

candygurl24 @candygurl24 (1880) • Canada 17 Jan 07

What are your opinions on Global Warming? Is it something that concerns you at all or are you just sitting back without a care in the world? Share with us your reasons to your answers :)

chrisdodge My opinion on global warming is that is not as much as it's cracked up to be. Earth goes through warming and cooling trends on its own and the organisms that can adapt have survived. They say that if the ocean temperature increases by a mere 2C it can have...

Two Wrongs Make a Right

Bytemi @Bytemi (1553) • United States 16 Jan 07

chrisdodge If he has been cheating on her, I don't think he really has a right to be upset. It's possible that she only did it to get back at him. Advice for him, talk it out with his wife. If he admits he's been cheating she will likely too and they can discuss what...
