doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 5 Feb 08

Life got too crazy and I basically stopped reading for pleasure several years ago. I want to get back into some good authors. I'm also thinking about getting back to writing fiction so I'd like to start with recently published...

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 4 Feb 08

How do I know the birds I buy aren't from the wild?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 28 Dec 06

I'd like to buy some birds, small parakeet or finch types. I'd like to be sure they came from good breeders and not wild caught. Is there a way to look this up?

I want a small dog so my daughter will have company, but I DON"T want a little yappy ankle-biter. Which types, medium to small, are good for kids but not the hypernervous kind?

Do people from other countries think all Americans are fat and lazy?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 28 Dec 06

Is that a stereotype people seriously believe? Because it's wrong. I'm just a little tired of hearing that stuff that's really uninformed. There are a lot of gluttonous, unmotivated Americans but that's true of any country.

Why does beauty matter?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 28 Dec 06

Is it just evolution, picking the best mates based on looks? Or are more attractive considered to be better people and have better habits? Can you really tell stuff about a person by how attractive they are?

What makes a woman beautiful?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 28 Dec 06

In whatever way you define it, what makes someone beautiful to you? Is it all looks, a certain kind of look, or does attitude matter too?

Can I get a license in another state when I move, with a warrant in the old one?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 28 Dec 06

Wondering if there's some way I can put off this fee. I plan on paying it as soon as my tax refund comes in. Right now I'd just like to drive with some peace of mind!

Does anyone know where I can watch foreign films online?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 27 Dec 06

I have a craving for something intelligent, original, or just wacky. And in a different language since I like to learn new ones and that's the best way for me. Is there any place I can watch them online? I don't mind paying a...

How can I whiten teeth cheaply?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 27 Dec 06

I don't smoke but I guess drinking colas has stained my teeth. Any good kits $20 and under, that I don't have to keep buying refills for?

I have really damaged hair. How do I repair it?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 27 Dec 06

I don't care if it only LOOKS like it's repaired. I want it to look better. What products have worked for you? I'm talking split ends and frizzies. I can't cut it, so I'm OK with spending lots of money on products. :)

Should America get out of Iraq now or over time?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 14 Dec 06

I kinda want to see all the soldiers come home ASAP but I realize that leaving suddenly (even over the course of 6 months would be really fast) could make things even more unstable over there. What do you think?

Should I take in a stray dog?

doran28 @doran28 (109) • United States 13 Dec 06

Or should I take him to a shelter. There's one I've seen at a park thats in pretty bad shape. I can't afford a lot fo care for him, but if I take him to a shelter they might kill him.
