monica1216 @monica1216 (509) • United States 9 Feb 07

So if you are knowledgable about dogs will you let me know what you think about raw hide chew bones for dogs? Are they safe and healthy treats? I have heard some people say they are really bad for dogs. Obviously though lots of...

renascent No rawhide is not good for a dog. We had our dog in training and rawhide is a no no as is pig's ears which I saw posted. If your dog is in the house and you give him something like a pig's ear, that scent will stay wherever he has it like a couch or carpet and...

renascent Definitely. I work out 4 days a week and have done so for many many years. I have been up and down on the scale and have kept the weight off by working out at the gym with cardio and weight training. I love how my body looks and I feel better. It's great for...

What is your personal 'worse noise' in the world? (Here are some stats!)

shywolf @shywolf (4514) • United States 24 Jan 07

In a recent study that was a year long and received over a million votes, it was revealed that the sound that people dislike the most is the sound of someone vomiting. (I would have to agree with that. It's so hard to hear...

renascent Like another poster, fork scratching a plate, hate it. The sound of a balloon when you rub it, arg. Chills with that one. Fire alarms for the loudness, brutal.

Do You Cook In Your Microwave Or Just Reheat?

villageanne @villageanne (8553) • United States 22 Jan 07

Yes, that dress/those pants DO make your butt look big.

hassanchop @hassanchop (820) • United States 22 Jan 07

That's what I would reply if I had a gf, and she asked me that question. And I would expect her to reply, "Good. Let's head out." Why? Because I like big butts. If her dress makes her butt look big, I'm IN on that. This...

renascent I believe in honesty always and if you ask my opinion, make sure you truly want an honest answer. If my friend asks if her outfit makes her look bigger or is unflattering then I will say 'yes' or 'no' whichever the truth is. She'd get mad but I said "Then...

Have you ever gone to "counseling" of any type?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 22 Jan 07
