What type of scents are you drawn to? (aka: Am I just weird?)

doroffee @doroffee (4222) • Hungary 12 Apr 12

I'm pretty interested in others' tastes in perfumes, because nowdays I kind of feel that I'm the odd-one-out in girls, because really warm sweet scents (cotton candy, chocolate, cinnamon, coconut, honey, walnuts etc.) I only like...

Galena I like Herby, Woody, Resinous, Earthy or very heady floral scents. I don't really like very synthetic or sweet scents as much.

Religious problem at the hospitals in my area.

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 12 Apr 12

How to explain. OK, let's say you check in at the hospital and they ask you what religion you are. You tell them. It's not on their computer. They ask if it can be put under any of the following and they list the major world...

choose a listed religion

choose no religion

only 4 listed

what would you do

Galena I have never been asked my religion upon going into hospital. if they asked me, I'd say Pagan. unless your religion has specific teachings on medical treatment, like the Jehovas Witnesses being against blood transfusions, or teachings that a follower...

Galena I love Mardi Gras. which is unusual in the UK. in the UK, we have the rather uninspiring interpretation of Shrove tuesday. which is PANCAKE day. a ploy to use up eggs and milk before lent. I much prefer the approach of eat loads, drink loads, party hard...

Galena if someone born a man can still be pretty enough to beat other women in the competition, good luck to them.

Men in earrings

yolanda_yvette777 @yolanda_yvette777 (60) • United States 17 Mar 12

Men in earrings, I know it's prevelant nowadays, but there's still something about it that just makes me wonder Why(?) would a man, young or old and anything in between want to wear earrings and the real kicker for me is when I...

earrings

men

Galena not an issue to me at all. I think two earrings looks a little odd, unless they have several other visible piercings. if they have their nose, eyebrow or whatever done, two doesn't look strange. if they just have two ear piercings, that does look a bit...

Do you believe that human beings evolved from apes?

eljayo @eljayo (1105) • Philippines 12 Mar 12

Hi guys! Do you ever wonder where human beings came from? Well, to some scientist, we came from apes and just evolved into what we are now. Personally, I do not believe this theory because first of all, the bible says that he made...

Galena I do believe we share a common ancestor with other primates. why should our existance negate the existance of all other primates? that's like saying that you existing means your cousins shouldn't exist. why are people so threatened by the simple fact...

Is it sensible to allow pets to enter into the home...

CSHINE @SHAMRACK (8576) • India 7 Mar 12

May be I feel it depends how well one maintain the house and a pet. But I could see there are some do even sleep with their pet dogs on the same bed. Once I had read news that a tiger was kept inside the house as a pet. I do...

Galena of course it is. apart from large pets like horses, that can't be kept in the home, I can't see the point of having pets if you're not going to share your home with them. they're part of the family after all. I wouldn't dream of keeping my pets...

Is it really true that all mommy cats ignore their inferior kittens?

divineathena @divineathena (1746) • United States 29 Feb 12

Last time I was watching Too Cute of Animal Planet. It was about three house cats. Persian, Bengal and Abyssinian. They all become mothers. The Abyssinian mommy ends up having one kitten smaller and skinnier than the rest. When...

Galena it's common across a lot of animal species. the mother focuses her efforts on ensuring that the strongest ones will get enough to survive. focusing first on the fittest and healthiest specimens. even people do it sometimes. especially in cultures where...

ALDI Has A "No Basket" Policy For Their Food Stores

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 29 Feb 12

What a strange shop ALDI is. Don't get me wrong, if people want to shop there that's fine (especially when everyone is skint these days) BUT they're missing a trick with their "no basket" policy. They DO have the large trolleys...

Galena I do find that annoying. same with Lidl. they do have some very good value and decent quality stuff though. another thing that annoys me in Lidl is that the only way out is through the tills. so if you don't buy something you have to squeeze past...

Keep it hot after meals...

almightybong @almightybong (186) • Philippines 29 Feb 12

One bad practice I've learned over the years: Drinking cold beverages right after a meal. I always thought it helps refresh me after a good meal. As it turns out, it makes it hard for the digestive system to break apart the food...

Galena that's actually absolute nonsense. anything you eat or drink quickly reaches the temparature of your stomach. fats do not solidify inside you when you have a cold drink. that is a known fact. http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/coldwater.asp so...

Circumcision & FGM(Female Genital Mutilation)- Morally/Ethically correct or not?

saurabhreigns @saurabhreigns (175) • India 21 Feb 12

Many of my fellow MyLotters must be familiar to the practices of circumcision and FGM in Islamic communities. (Those who have no idea of these terms are requested to google them before posting any response) Although i belong to...

Galena obviosly, I consider mutilation of the genitals by someone whose genitals they are not to be morally wrong. if an adult, for some bizarre reason, wants it done, that's up to them, but how can people think it's okay for a parent to decide to have their...

Do you think men like women with less knowledge than them?

safety69 @safety69 (592) • Taiwan 20 Feb 12

I have this feeling, I observe many couples and men are okay if their partner know or study less than them , this way they can have the control of the relationship. I once had a boyfriend that told me that he liked me because I...

Galena I'm more intelligent than my husband. he'd tell you that himself. he likes that if he isn't sure about something he can ask me and I'll probably be able to tell him. I would say that from what I've seen, most women are in charge of the relationship, and...

Do you think people dislike black dogs?

Chrissy @Java09 (3075) • United States 19 Feb 12
