taureiel I think people need to treat all animals with respect, but especially creatures like elephants. They are far too intelligent and sensitive for mistreatment because they have the ability to process what's happening to them. Things like the ivory trade are...

joy_evaldez @joy_evaldez (461) • Singapore 1 Oct 09

Hi all! I am a regular rice eater and will not pass breakfast, lunch and dinner without food intake. If I missed one, it does not feel right. How about you? What is your eating routine or eating habits?

taureiel I have a very fast metabolism so I can't just have three spread out meals in a day. Instead, I'm more of a grazer and eat a little bit all day long.

taureiel Personally, I think women need to chill out. As a woman myself, I think if I'm genuinely doing something wrong, it shouldn't be "off limits" to tell me! Pbviously men shouldn't be offensive about it, but that's less of a matter of what to say and more a matter...

wanghui0210 @wanghui0210 (218) • China 29 Sep 09

taureiel First, I think you need to be flexible. You never know what other paths will eventually lead you to your dream career, and you never know if suddenly you're going to want to change your direction in life. Second, you need to be optimistic. Running yourself...

taureiel I love the sound of violins, but I've always been partial to flutes. They can be dramatic, or fun and silly-sounding, or just impressive. Also, if you learn to play flute "rock style" (a la Jethro Tull) it can make a really cool grindy noise that can sound...
