Do you think your parents did a pretty good job of raising you??

Augustta @Augustta (1850) • Poland 1 May 07

...or you blame them for something? ...or maybe they didn't do so well--maybe they weren't always there for you, or they said and did everything wrong, or they just forgot to be, well, parents. My parents was doing their best...

impunityJane My parents did a great job. The only advice I'd give my Mum if I could go back in time is 'make sure you keep yourself happy and look after yourself!' The worst memories I have of my childhood are when my mum was sad or depressed and I was too young to know...

Does eating chocolate make you feel happy?

alia_12 @alia_12 (79) • Philippines 27 Apr 07

Scientific studies say that chocolate contains phenylethylamine, the natural feel-good hormone. But do really feel happier after eating chocolate?

impunityJane Yes, as long as it's really good choc and only 2 mouthfuls. Any more and it doesn't feel like a special treat. Perhaps that feeling's enough, along with the fat, sugar and caffeine. It's got lots of magnesium in it too, which is supposedly why I crave it when...

feliniti @feliniti (875) 21 Apr 07

Did you see tonight's episode? What did you think of it. It was part 1 and the first time an episode has been filmed in the USA. The Daleks are back, and taking on the final experiment! A scary proposition for the human...

impunityJane I guess you're right, but before 'Genesis of the Daleks' in 1975, I was behind the sofa.

Which animal(s) could you never eat?

bruxedo @bruxedo (773) • France 25 Apr 07

Is there some kind of animals you wouldn't eat at all? Even if you were very hungry?

impunityJane I wouldn't like to eat an amphibian. Frog's legs are beyond me. But I've eaten ostrich, kangaroo, snails and scorpians. The first two were nice, though gamey, the last two needed plenty of garlic. But, like most westerners, I've never been really hungry. I...

impunityJane Personally I find the daleks much less scary when they have names and personalities, however ruthless. In the old days you could rely on them to EXTERMINATE rather than enslave and manipulate you - predictable but more terrifying. It makes for better plots...

Do you call your aunt or uncle by their first name?

ajinomoto23 @ajinomoto23 (1057) • Philippines 25 Feb 07

Do you think that is a sign of disrespect? I feel offended if my nephew call me by my first name without adding the word aunt. I keep on correcting him but he never change.

impunityJane My great-grandmother was offended when her day-carer called her 'Mary' as she had always been 'Mrs Martin' since her twenties and 'Molly' when she was a child. It's an inter-generational problem I think. It feels belittling to have your wishes ignored but...

How do you Lose that BELLY???!!!!! HELP

babygurl850406 @babygurl850406 (1322) • United States 24 Apr 07

Okay mommies, how have you lost your stomach if you have tried to? I really want to get rid of that little extra flabby skin/fat there. I had a baby last year and have been slowly but surely losing weight but i want my tummy...

impunityJane Hi, my youngest is nearly four and I've only just got back into my jeans. Don't panic, the fat will go as long as you keep active. If you're breast feeding you'll hold onto the last pouchy bits for longer. It's probably almost all loose skin on your stomach...

My soil is too alkaline.

creematee @creematee (2810) • United States 23 Apr 07

What can I add to it to make it more neutral? I think this is why my grass is suffering and why our vegetable garden didn't produce that well last year. Any suggestions? I really don't want to spend a lot of money on it.

impunityJane You could use a deep-bed system for your vegetables. Raise the growing area so alkaline water can't seep into it so easily and dig in lots of compost or peat and sand. It's not expensive but it is back-breaking! Use old wood, bricks or peat blocks to border...
