Writing in the present tense.

patgalca @patgalca (18355) • Orangeville, Ontario 28 Mar 07

Have you ever written a story in the present tense? Have you ever read one in the present tense? I think it would be awfully hard to write like that. I have submitted a short story to an award winning author for critique. I...

katzbee First, I must congratulate you on your persistence in pursuing a career in writing. I started out writing for Radio and TV, so writing in the present tense is a form with which I am more comfortable. I now use it as I write stories and novels, especially in...

Do your cats have toys?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 7 May 07

I used to buy different toys for my cats but have found they seem to enjoy bags, golf balls and things they can find around the house much more than anything I've ever purchased for them! Do your cats have toys? What types?

katzbee It seems the more expensive and exotic the toy, the more cats hate them. Golf balls, tennis balls, balls of string or wool especially if its in use. That's what makes our kitties happy. Hey by the way. Go Senators, Go.

katzbee Dear Pebbles, sorry to read about your difficulties. I will be including you in my daily prayers. Prayer is a powerful key that can unlock and open even the hardest door. With all of us praying, something positive is bound to happen.

These kids are horrible...what could you have done?

earth2jacq @earth2jacq (1502) • Philippines 2 May 07

Last night as I was giving myself a pedicure, I heard laughing and screaming noises outside our house. Intrigued, I decided to go and see what the fuss is all about. To my horror and dismay I saw six kids age ranging from 5-7...

katzbee Our World sure is getting crazier by the minute. To think that kids that young could have that much hate in them to physically harm an innocent kitten boggles the mind. In my opinion, you did the right thing by saving the kitten. What pity you didn't have a...

Have you ever been to Niagara Falls?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 1 May 07

I live only 2 hours from Niagara Falls, state side, and 2 1/2 from Niagara Falls, Canada so it's often just a misconception to me that everyone has had a chance to see it first hand. I realized one day a while back when friends...

katzbee I live about 90 minutes away from the Falls, thats during weekend traffic. I just love going there. The Casino is my escape after a long hard day. I lose my stress and my money, but I have lots of fun. After all its one of the seven wonders of the World.

How Do YOU Treat the Mentally Ill?

Rozie37 @Rozie37 (15499) • Turkmenistan 23 Mar 07

katzbee Ouch! that's tough. As a reasonably new person here, things like this make me nervous. I do hope that it was their auto-checking program that made the error and not a human. Anyway, don't give up, keep on keeping it real.

katzbee What a great concept. I make every attempt to perform those small acts of kindness that you have mentioned. And, yes I do see the change in people's expression when a total stranger extends a helping hand or a cheery greeting. So many of us seem to be caught...

It's raining, do you grab an umbrella?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 22 Apr 07

I grew up in a city where it rains alot. I never carried an umbrella and used to laugh at those who did. Now that I'm older I have started to use them more. I even keep one at work now. Are you an umbrella person or not.

katzbee I have a Love/Hate relationship with umbrellas. First I always leave them on Public Transit and Cabs, or I get the one with the faulty mechanism. But where I live is prone to Spring showers and heavy Summer and Fall down pours, so an umbrella is necessary.

Do you believe that to go to heaven you need to read the Bible?

earth2jacq @earth2jacq (1502) • Philippines 23 Apr 07

katzbee Whew! This one is a very hot and controversial topic. Since Heaven or Eternal Life, depending on your religious beliefs, is what most of us strive for in this life. In my opinion, I don't think that its based on religion or reading any special book, but rather...
