dolfin It is true that children are more 'sensitive' to paranormal activity and are sometimes able to 'see' things that adults don't see. The Chinese believe that if you want to inspect a house prior to renting or buying, bring a young child or children along. If the...

ibuemma @ibuemma (2953) • United States 28 Sep 09

When you invited to a lunch/dinner/party at somebody's house where their home cooking are being served, certainly you'll eat those meals. After couple spoon or swallow, you found out that their food is not so good or even bad. Do...

dolfin No, I wouldn't say anything at all, no matter how bad the food tasted! If the host insists that I give an opinion, the most I would do is suggest, in a positive way, how the food could be improved, for example, 'This dish would be amazing with garlic bread' or...

dolfin I think my cat's a snob! He won't play with homemade toys, only store-bought ones. Sigh... I have tried giving him paper balls, bits of string, cardboard rolls etc but he turned up his nose at EVERYTHING, until I gave up and purchased a cat toy from the pet...

dolfin How do I call my cat??? Hah! My cat sees himself as King and I am his Slave. He ignores me when I call and will come ONLY if he feels like it! Previously I used to rattle his food dish and he'd come running, but after a few times he saw through the trick and...

Any other piano lovers?

rpegan @rpegan (596) • United States 12 Apr 08

Religious song on Idol

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 11 Apr 08

Someone on a another site I am a member of was very upset that the Idols did a religious song on last nights Idol. Did this upset anyone else? Do you think that they should be doing that?

dolfin I don't think anyone should be offended just because it's a Christian song. It's a singing show anyway and the contestants' talents are being showcased, so it doesn't matter what they sing. Those who don't like it need to loosen up. It's just a song.

Did they make a mistake tonight?

carolscash @carolscash (9492) • United States 10 Apr 08

dog debarking?

jobenmakapangyarihan @jobenmakapangyarihan (546) • Philippines 7 Apr 08

dolfin I love both dogs and cats. However I must admit that cats are MUCH easier to handle. They keep themselves groomed, they don't smell, they don't drool and they don't chew up my shoes! Also, if a litter box is provided for them, they automatically know how to do...
