Mimic octopus is incredible creature

Bionicman @Bionicman (3958) • Czech Republic 10 Oct 12

I just discovered this incredible creature. It's so amazing that it's hard to believe it's true. Mimic octopus can change it's shape and colors to impersonate other creatures. It can mimic over 15 species including stingrays,...

merylinkid That is so cool. I love how animals have adapted to protect themselves. And think the brainpower that takes. It has to recognize the specific danger, then change to protect against that specific danger.

merylinkid If it is calls from the same number, she needs to block that number. There is no reason she should be without her phone just because someone else keeps calling it.

Honey Boo Boo Childs big sister

C @ShyBear88 (59347) • Sterling, Virginia 26 Sep 12

If you don't know the show Honey Boo Boo child played on TLC it's a show about a little girl that does pageants and her crazy family. Her older sister that is 17 years old and had her daughter about 5 weeks ago now and the babies...

merylinkid Honestly, I cannot believe this show is aired. The poor kids deserve better than to have cameras shoved in their faces and their every move recorded for "entertainment." You know they only show the worst bits, not the normal stuff that would make for boring...

Money and Friendship

Someone once told me that money matters complicate friendship. I know of some relationships that broke down because of money. I also know of some good friends who ceased being friends because of money issues.I believe that there...

merylinkid Exactly, a true friend understands "no." If you give money to a friend, assume it is a gift. Don't treat it as loan. Otherwise, it just poisons the friendship.

I always forget about the Library as a resource!

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 18 Sep 12

Our local library is such a good resource. My son who’s in first grade, has started reading Geronimo Stilton (have you heard about this character?) He found an old book of his big brother and when he read it, he decided that he...

merylinkid I go the library at least once a week. I check out so many books that I practically wear out my library card. The only thing I hate is when I am 200 on the wait list for a book I have on reserve. The wait for the book just about kills me.

TeamCholent @TeamCholent (2832) • United States 3 Sep 12

merylinkid You can donate your unwanted gift cards. It's a site called gift card giver. They give the cards to people and organizations in need.

Large Sodas a no-no in New York passes?

merylinkid It's all about personal responsibility. It's the sale of the Big Gulps that are making people fat, it is the people buying them. As others noted, those who want to drink that much, will find a way. It will really do nothing to make people healthier. Trust...

Edible plants

inmyopinion @inmyopinion (213) 16 Sep 12

So vaguely remember my father, when I was growing up, walking through the garden and picking up randome leaves and flowers and saying "you know you can eat these" and then shoving them in his mouth and chewing away. I cannot...

merylinkid Not sure about nasturiums. If in doubt, don't do it. Dandelion leaves are just like lettuce. Wash first, of course. But they perk up a salad something nice.

merylinkid Emergency was awesome. The show did lead to a rise in paramedic programs. In fact, the station depicted in the show really exists (sadly not Johnny and Roy). They still use "KMG 367" as their call sign.
