coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 16 Jun 13

My older cousin committed suicide last week. I was particularly close to him and offered to choose a song to be played at his funeral. He liked the Chili Peppers at one stage and I'm thinking one of their songs, but since I'm not...

Curvy women are 'real' women. Agree or disagree?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 17 Mar 12

I will start this by saying I am slim. I follow a vegan diet and try to stay active (although I definitely need to exercise more) which keeps me slim and healthy. While I agree that starving or drastic dieting to be skinny is...

How much exercise? Be honest!

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 17 Mar 12

I am fairly slim and I am happy with my body. I follow a plant based diet (vegan) and therefore don't really need to exercise as everything I eat is low fat. However, even slim people need exercise for fitness. Exercise is...

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 19 Apr 11

It was only 2 weeks ago that I decided I would never get married, have kids or get my heart broken. I was going to be an independent woman. Then last week I met up with someone I hadn't seen in years. We liked each other years ago...

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 16 Apr 11

Everyone who drinks has an embarrassing story or two to share. What stupid things have you done? I find that when people are drunk they feel invincible and end up doing things they wouldn't normally do. Once when I was drunk I...

For non-believers: Do you still celebrate christmas?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 24 Nov 10

Christmas has lost its meaning for me in recent years. I am no longer religious and even if I was, Christmas is a holiday invented by pagans so it isn't even an accurate portrayal of Jesus' supposed birth. I used to really look...

Are you on call?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 10 Aug 10

Right now I'm in the middle of an on call shift. It is twelve hours long. Sometimes I think I would prefer an actual shift rather than being on call because it's like being on edge, not knowing whether to go to bed or not and not...

What do you think of your children's teachers?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 1 Aug 10

As a student teacher I often wonder about what my students' teachers will think of me when I have my own class. Teaching is a hard job and you have to be very dedicated to each and every member of your class. Have you had an...

I just signed a petition for China to pass an animal welfare bill. The petition included a youtube video that showed undercover footage of the live dog and cat fur trade. Without totally grossing anyone out, the video showed...

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 7 Jul 10

It is winter here in Australia and the days get darker earlier and all you want to do is dress in your pyjamas and curl up in bed with a book or movie. I personally can never go to bed without showering but I'm wondering if any of...

Divorce and Marriage 'infections'

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 6 Jul 10

No need to be alarmed by the subject line. I was watching TV before and they were talking about how marriage and divorce seems to happen in 'clusters'. That is, when one person gets married, their friends around them also tend to...
