Tomato Sandwich for lunch

snowy @snowy22315 (180674) • United States 29 Jun 18

So, most of my life, I never really had a tomato sandwich. The closest we would get would be BLT's which I love, but roomie told me that he had cultivated a love of tomato sandwiches growing up, as his dad liked them. Where is the...

LilyoftheThorns No thank you! Haha. I am not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I will eat them on my salad. I don't think I'd like them on a sandwich - too messy and they'd get the bread soggy. When I was a kid though, I used to eat lettuce sandwiches...just 2 ingredients, bread...

What is holding you back from being the person you want to be...?????

PRN Roland Akpochere @Roland2 (48) • United Kingdom 24 Jun 17

Lots of people always wanna be something which they wanna be but they end up not achieving that goal probably because of lack of sponsorship or the inability not to be motivated to achieving such goal or maybe some family issues...

LilyoftheThorns Fear...fear is the biggest thing holding me back. I'd like to move to another state, but I worry that I would miss my parents too much. I visit them every weekend, and not being able to would be really hard. Especially if I moved somewhere that would only...

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 24 Jun 17

We are having the hottest weekend of the year now and reached 99 today. I know that's not hot by comparison with some areas of the country and the world, but we are not used to it. Do you ever get used to it? We are going to a...

Dog Crates - Let's call them what they are - Dog Cages.

MsTickle @MsTickle (25180) • Australia 4 Mar 16

With the pet industry worth billions worldwide, interested parties such as vets and entrepreneurs are constantly looking for new ways to part the loving pet owner and their money. One of the recent ideas is caging your dog. Cages...

LilyoftheThorns I see the benefit for crates in the SHORT term (ie: potty training, allowing new pets to get used to each other safely, etc), but people who use crates for life just to keep their dog caged up while they aren't home is wrong. And before I got my current dog...

An Eagle and an Emu

MsTickle @MsTickle (25180) • Australia 4 Mar 16

I was driving into town the other day and up ahead I spied a largish bird which I thought was a crow. As I got closer it looked about as big as a rooster. I slowed to a stop with my mouth open as the bird stretched up to it's full...

LilyoftheThorns Hi :D I'm back! Lol One night I was walking my dog and right there on a railing by the sidewalk was a huge beautiful owl! I always took my camera with me on walks, but I didn't get it out quick enough to get a photo! I was so upset, but it was amazing to see!...

Do you take "shelfies"? Here's mine!

The Horse @TheHorse (218789) • Walnut Creek, California 5 Mar 16

I think it was on "that other site" that a bunch of us poked fun at the narcissistic "selifies" that a lot of people take by posting "shelfes," or pictures of our bookshelves. You can tell a lot about a person by what they have on...

Does your dog enjoy car rides?

firecracker @sacmom (14192) • United States 25 Aug 15

Years ago, my in-laws had a pup that dreaded car rides. So much so, that it made him terribly nervous. However, I had no idea just how nervous he would get... Back then, I had worked at a veterinary hospital, so I was able to get...

LilyoftheThorns We currently have 5 dogs (2 small, 3 big) and 3 cats living under the same roof. And all of the dogs are actually scared of 1 of the cats... So as you can see, yes, dogs can be taught to be nice to cats. Whenever the dog barks at the cats, scold him. How...

Does Age and Height Matter in a Relationship?

toxic_lifestyle @toxic_lifestyle (1213) • Philippines 18 Oct 12

I don't find height and age as an issue when it comes to relationships. Because what important most is that you both love each other despite of your differences and gaps. :)

LilyoftheThorns It really depends on the people. If someone doesn't care about age or height, then good for them. I would def. never think badly of a couple who's ages or heights or different. If they're in love, great! But for me, honestly I think I'd want a guy that is...

LilyoftheThorns Maybe when they say personal they mean no pictures with content of a personal nation (nudity, for example). Because, yeah, I don't really see how that could mean anything else! Pictures themselves are always personal in one way or another.

LilyoftheThorns Sometimes her beauty title would be relevant, and sometimes it wouldn't. It all depends on what job/career she is going for. If she is applying to a beauty salon, or applying to be a professional makeup artist/hair stylist/fashion designer/etc etc. then...
