ThomasWest3 In general, I believe that people should restrain themselves when buying snakes. That being said, I don't see a problem with people owning snakes of a reasonable size; for example, ball pythons only reach a maximum of six feet. I firmly believe that anything...

We are just finishing up our new house. We hired some of the work out, my husband did what he could around making money to pay for it, and my dad has done most of the work with his own two hands. It has been a very LONG process-...

ThomasWest3 I built my own house in 2007-2008. I did most of the work myself. I had always dreamed of building my own house and although it was trying at times, I enjoyed myself. It took twice as long as I thought it would to complete it, but it came right in on budget. I...

ThomasWest3 I've always considered motorcycles to be fair weather vehicles, but if you live in a warm climate a motorcycle may be the answer to high gasoline bills. I had a scooter when I lived in Florida and used it for running errands. I saved a lot of money on gas and...

ThomasWest3 I have to agree that the third and sixth movies are by far the best, both in terms of cinematic quality an din terms of faithfulness to the books. I just thought there was too much taken out of "Order of the Phoenix," though it was excellent as a movie. All...

How many hours do you sleep everyday?

huanran @huanran (50) • China 4 Oct 09

I read from the article that said 7-8 hours sleeping is ideal for an adult. I usually can't sleep that long, how about you?

ThomasWest3 As a Graduate Student who has to not only read approximately 200 pages (or more) a week, as well as grade student papers, I usually average 6-7 hours a night, though I sometimes shoot for eight (depending on how busy I am.) On weekends, though, I feel...

ThomasWest3 Orange has always been my favorite color, so I would have to say that orange is my favorite color for a car. When I was a little kid I told my grandmother that I was gong to buy an orange car and give here a ride in it!

Do you Speed on the highway?

baybay3 @baybay3 (65) • United States 26 Sep 09

Hey everyone! So I know that when I'm driving I typically drive 5mph over what the speed limit is because for some reason I feel like the police won't pull me over for only going 5mph over. Do you typically drive over the...

ThomasWest3 I used to speed, but now I usually travel at the speed limit or just under. If the speed limit is 70, I do 65. That way I can stay in the slow lane, everyone passes me, and the trip is less stressful.

ThomasWest3 My first car was a boat. A 1966 Plymouth Fury III. It did really good in the snow and I could fit like 8 people in it, but in the early eighties gas was expensive so I didn't drive it that much. I also had a motorcycle at the same time and used that a lot. It...

ThomasWest3 I have always found raising chickens to be a very enjoyable hobby. I've also kept ducks, turkeys, and geese, and I have almost always had a positive experience. I must say, though, that they are not terribly intelligent creatures, but I guess you can't have...

Crime dramas?

megumiart @megumiart (3771) • United States 3 Oct 09

Do you like to watch crime drama TV shows, like CSI, Law and Order and stuff? Or maybe doctor dramas, like Grey's Anatomy, House or Mercy? I've never watched an entire episode of any drama tv show. xD They just don't interest...

ThomasWest3 Personally, I think that "Law and Order" and "CSI: Miami" are two of the best crime dramas on TV today. Each has strong, driven characters, and I'm particularly impressed by the fact that "Law and Order" has been renewed for a twentieth season. It is now tied...

The Tudors

loudcry @loudcry (1043) • India 11 Apr 09

Television and cinemas draw a lot of flak for being a means of wasting time. But, I for one beleive in the great power of this medium. Case in point is a series being aired on Fox history. The Tudors. A docudrama(new concept ah?)...

ThomasWest3 I think the most interesting thing about historical films/TV series is the choices they make in what they are going to represent/exclude. For example, in films about Alexander the Great, his sexuality is usually glossed over or not discussed at all (except for...

ThomasWest3 I think the most memorable scene from "LOTR" was near the end of "The Return of the King," when Aragon tells the Hobbits, "My friends, you bow to no one," and then the entire crowd bows. I've always felt that was an intensely emotional scene.

DO YOU THINK IT IS NECCESSARY? to be afraid of a pitt bull?

ThomasWest3 I also think it's quite ridiculous that people get so worked up over pit bulls, when they're no more dangerous than any other breed of dog. As with any breed, how they behave depends in large part on how they are raised and treated by their owners. That being...

ThomasWest3 I think it's great that you're encouraging kids to read actual printed books rather than relying simply on the Internet. While I see the Internet as a great learning tool (obviously, since I'm using this site,) I also fear that people may start losing touch...
