I knew I left those Cherrios somewhere!

lilybug @lilybug (21107) • United States 20 Sep 07

My daughter acts like she never gets fed or something. This morning when we came down to the basement, so I could check my email Lily crawled UNDER her walker and started eating the Cherrios she dropped YESTERDAY morning. I had to...

rhinoboy I don't know if it's a general kid thing, but my daughter is TERRIBLE for doing things like that! It's no wonder my wife is neurotic about keeping the house clean. My girl can spot a stray grain of rice from 15 feet away on the other side of the room! It's not...

Several weeks ago, my three year old decided to start picking lilies. She would pluck the buds off, before they had a chance to bloom. Somehow, she missed one. I hurried to grab the camera when I saw it in full bloom, and snapped...

rhinoboy As above, this sounds like it could be a scam, don't send them any money! Congratulations on your picture anyway, whether it wins any prizes or awards or not, it's a really nice picture anyway.

Time for the family.

bowtieguy @bowtieguy (5915) • United States 18 Sep 07

My youngest sons says that we do not spend as much time together and that I spend a lot more time with his older brother than I do with him, and for the most part I would agree with him somewhat. It's is that he is more into...

rhinoboy I think you're heading into this the wrong way. First off, you should praise your son for telling you the way he feels in such a mature manner. You don't need to think of anything to do with him, just arrange to spend some time with him and let him choose...

Do I demand a bill?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 18 Sep 07

Hree's the deal, we hired a contractor to do work on our house. We signed a contract with an estimate and work began. They tore the stone of the corner of my house, said they could replace it with no problem. Well turns out they...

rhinoboy I think that the fair thing to do is pay the remaining 75% of the estimate. If you have to pay someone else for the stonework that was damaged, deduct that from the payment. Provided you didn't get them to do anything that was not included in the original...

Do you like horses?

thefortunes @thefortunes (2367) • Netherlands 17 Sep 07

When I was in Amsterdam last Sunday, near the house of a friend of ours, who lives just outside the city - I saw a family of horses and was able to take a few shots of these. How many of you love horses, and know how to ride on,...

rhinoboy I haven't ridden horses since I was a child. I'm a big guy now, so I wouldn't inflict my load on anything less than a shire-horse! I think they're very graceful animals though, and make some wonderful pictures. That must be why so many old paintings feature...

Still Life

hcromer @hcromer (2710) • United States 18 Sep 07

I have an assignment of taking a photograph of a "still life" for my digital photography class this week. I was wondering if you guys could give me a heads up on exactly what makes a still life a still life? What criteria does a...

rhinoboy As above, you can create a still life from pretty much any inanimate objects. A bowl of fruit is the classic as it provides a variety of shapes and colours, but I've seen it done with a plate of potatoes and a ladies red stiletto shoe! How about cooking a...

Should children learn to tolerate gays?

tzvetelina @tzvetelina (467) • Bulgaria 18 Sep 07

I'm starting this discussion because of recent events - in our textbooks of Etics there is an explanation that only heterosexual relationships can exist.There's nothing mentioned for homosexuals.Do you think children should learn...

rhinoboy Of course children should learn to respect homosexuals like all other adults. I guess it's actually healthy for a child to know some gay couples. It would help them to realise that some people fall in love with people of their own gender and that it's not...

What brand of baby wipes do you/did you use?

lilybug @lilybug (21107) • United States 17 Sep 07

I only use Huggies wipes. I got them in the beginning and I love them so I have never tried any other brands. They are so thick and do a great job of cleaning my baby's bottom.I usually get the giant box with like 800 wipes and it...

rhinoboy We've tried several brands on our little girl. Fortunately, she doesn't have sensetive skin so we can give pretty much anything a try. We usually go by price, so most often we've bought the supermarket brand for £1 per pack of 80 wipes. I found that the...

rhinoboy It feels a bit hypocritical to me now, as I'm an atheist! Because I was brought up as loosely church of england (protestant?) I grew to love christmas. To me now, It's just a time to enjoy and show my appreciation to all my family.

We Are All Going to Hell

manzano22 @manzano22 (77) • Philippines 17 Sep 07

Yes we are.. You wanna know why? Because all religions say that other religions will go in hell if they are not part of their religion and are not following the beliefs of that certain religion. And then the other religions also...

K.T. Tunstall

worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 16 Sep 07

While watching tv this morning I saw a story on the rise in popularity of K.T. Tunstall, a singer from Scotland. Of course I had heard the name before since I listen to quite a bit of music. I had never taken the time, however to...

rhinoboy i think she's been a bit 'over-done' in the UK. From what I've seen she seems to be more popular with middle-aged people rather than the younger generation. I think she has talent and I wouldn't kick her out of bed for farting, but I won't be rushing out to...

Has This Woman NO SHAME?

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 17 Sep 07

I was utterly appalled and sickened by what I read in the paper today about this woman standing by her paedophile husband who had abused 13 children! Not only was this piece of 'scum' let off! His wife is actually standing by...

rhinoboy I don't read newspapers very often, and I'm glad I didn't see this. As has been stated in the comments above, the people who commit these crimes are obviously too 'disturbed' to live free among society. I think that the only way to deal with them is either by...

It's good to have friends to visit, but it's also good to see them leave

recycledgoth @recycledgoth (9894) 8 Apr 07

rhinoboy Thankfully, our houses have always been too small to accomodate overnight guests. The only people who've stayed overnight were our nieces who were around 1 and 7 at the time. I think the closest I can relate to your experience is after we had the baby and...

Do you consider yourself Liberal or Conservative?

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 9 Sep 07

rhinoboy I would suppose that in social issues, I'm very liberal. I think people should be able to do what they like, provided they're not hurting or negatively affecting anyone else. In most politcal issues though, I'm very conservative. I think that the UK state...

rhinoboy Good on you mate! If you feel that your time has been lost, that's the perfect reason to spend as much time as you like concentrating on making yourself happy. I feel I've wasted too many years stuck in the same job, but it's been a comfort thing. It's also...
