shizuoka Queen is the one band that always lifts my spirits. No matter how I am feeling, if I put in their greatest hits CD, I find myself feeling more upbeat and singing along.

How do you kid-proof a kid's room so that they do not destroy everything?

Teresa W. @horsesrule (1957) • United States 26 May 08

We have three boys, 8 almost 9, 6, and 3 years old. They sort of share a bedroom or at least during the day, only the 6 year old actually sleeps in it at night by himself. There's so many reasons for that but that's not the reason...

shizuoka It sounds like you need to set some ground rules for your children and perhaps keep a closer eye on them. Your 8 year old especially, should know better. There is no way to create a room that can't be destroyed by three children intent on destroying...

shizuoka I think that parents should have as many children as they are honestly capable of caring for. For some parents, one child is too many. For others, 8 or 10 is fine. Since each child is an individual, I believe that parents need to be able to provide love and...

shizuoka Just like we need 8 glasses of water a day when we are dieting (or not dieting), we also should have 8 hours of sleep. I have actually read in a couple of different sources that a lack of sleep can cause weight gain. Adequate sleep is paramount if you want...

What is your favorite sport?

Bd200789 @Bd200789 (2994) • United States 20 Apr 08

My favorite is baseball. I don't understand the other sports. I really don't see a point to football or golf. What do you think? I don't play any sports, but I love to watch baseball.

shizuoka I'm not too interested in watching sports. I will watch the World Cup with my husband, but that's about it. I do like to play tennis, and in my younger years I played soccer and softball. I think it is much more fun to play than just to watch.

shizuoka Hi Kamran, I'm afraid I would be an outcast in your society. I am a serious left-hander. I can do things with both hands, like typing or playing the piano, but there are very few things I can do with just my right hand. I use my left hand to: write, of...

shizuoka For some unknown reason I much prefer pens. I will use a pencil in a pinch, if I can't find anything else. Permanent documents are done on the computer, so if I make a mistake, I just cross it out. The reason for this preference might be due to my...

shizuoka I am 7 years older than my husband and married him when I was 32. We have now been married for 10 years and have two daughters. He is also from a different country and the cultural differences have been more of an issue than our ages. I think that if two...

mandarinamel @mandarinamel (99) • Malaysia 9 May 08

The last years there has been tons of movie realeases that takes books or comics and puts them on film. Last of these is Ironman. Though is a great movie, I think a Book or a Comic is way better than a Movie. With a book or a...

shizuoka The book is almost always better than the movie. I think there are two reasons (at least) for this. One is that the book normally has more details. A novel containing a lot of intricate details such as 'Jurassic Park' or 'Da Vinci Code' is going to lose...

shizuoka I like your avatar and it is definitely less annoying than the flashing ads at the top of certain web pages. If you want to change it, however, perhaps you can find a stationery sun.
