ASteward @ASteward (120) • United States 1 Jan 09

I'm just curious how many of you use a carrier car seat or some sort of harness to secure your dog when he/she is in the car.

marksleem With one of my dogs, I have to harness them in the seatbelt. They are just too curious and keep trying to get in my lap while I am driving, and that's not safe. If a dog is well behaved enough and they don't intefere with your driving at all, then I see no...

Going to the Ice Cream Shop When It's Freezing Outside

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 1 Jan 09

It's been very windy and cold here. Winter is definitely here. For some reason though I was tempted to buy ice cream at Baskin Robbins the other day. The wind wipping around my car changed my mind though. I should have just went...

marksleem Do you eat hot food in the summer? Of course you do. Just because something is cold doesn't mean you can't eat it if it's cold outside. There is no bad weather for ice cream, it is good anytime of the year. Besides, if you get some ice cream to eat in the...

marksleem I personally think new years resolutions are a joke. They are like most other goals, they are all peachy and great if you can manage to achive them, but if you don't you can really let yourself down. I only make simple goals that I know I can achive for the...

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 1 Jan 09

marksleem I would say to use a good mix of both. Initially finding information can be MUCH quicker on the internet, but I think it would be a good idea to verify most things using books. The internet it awesome, I use it all the time to find generally useless...

Is it true that you grow when you sleep and shrink when you are awake?

sanjanaraman @sanjanaraman (237) • United Arab Emirates 31 Dec 08

I read somewhere that you grow when you sleep and shink when you are awake. Is it true? I don't sleep much, and I don't think I want to shrink!

3 responses

marksleem I highly doubt that this is true, it sounds like a crazy wives tale to me.

Why people fall in love? Why not rise in love?

Frederick42 @Frederick42 (2043) • Canada 31 Dec 08

I do not understand why people even use the expression 'fall in love'. why not 'rise in love'? Do you not feel it rather derogatory to fall?

fall in love

marksleem Never really thought about that, but it's very true. "Falling" does sound to down. I never really use the term all that much myself, maybe Ive always thought the same thing subconsciously. I just usually use "in love" or "do love". Why not just use the term...

marksleem I love chocolate, but not pretzels. But even so I'll have something like this from time to time, especially if I'm having it with my wife, she likes pretzels. She is pregnant now, and I told her I would eat most everything she wants to eat too, but she cant...

Divorce- A last resort or a first option?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 28 Dec 08

It seems to me that a lot of people get a divorce without ever searching for another option to their problems. Do you know someone who got divorced without first trying to solve their problems through councelling or something...

marksleem I feel that divorce is very muchly so a last resort. I believe marriage is for life, if your not sure whether you want to spend your life with someone, then you shoudn't get married in the first place. I think it should be very difficult to get a divorce...

marksleem To me, weddings are an important and special time for the 2 getting married, and only close friends and family should be invited. If you just invite the whole world then its not a wedding, its a general party. Is that what the beginning of a union for life...

If you failed in your love life, will you go for arrange marriage?

sunilpatel @sunilpatel (150) • India 29 Dec 08

It happened with me and I ask the same question to everyone.

6 responses

marksleem In my opinion, arranged marriages will NEVER work. You and only you know what you look for in another person, you and only you can find the right person to spend your life with. If you go for an arranged marriage you are giving up your rights as a human being...

marksleem I think the right kind of music at the right time can work wonders for your mood. Music can definately help to relax and "de-stress" you. I myself prefer new age music, namely Enigma. Some people say classical music is very calming, but thats not my cup of...
