jellybean80 My old dog (now dearly departed) used to always eat wasps, and she never ever learnt despite constantly getting stung in her mouth by them, which apparenty can be really dangerous for them. Unfortunately I don't think there's really much you can do about it...

jellybean80 Sorry if this seems an odd question but is there a reason that her hubby can't watch him while she has a bath? To be honest though the situation doesn't sound that unusual and unfortunately she might just have to put up with it until her son is a bit older....

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 25 Jun 07

As the saying goes you get nothing for free nowadays, everything and everyone it seems has a price tag on it. The days of going anywhere and getting things for free have sadly long gone! BUT! There is one thing you can get for...

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 28 Dec 06

Or any other supernatural entity? I do believe as I have witnessed one before as a child but I have come across very few people that have also seen something before.... I would be keen to hear of any experiences.....

jellybean80 I'm not convinced that children need to watch TV, but I also wouldn't get rid of my TV. Did you know that on things that the government deem a necessity that a TV is on there? From reading another one of your discussions I'm not sure you'll really care what...

Do you think we would like living in a true democracy?

michelledarcy @michelledarcy (5220) 19 Mar 07

To me democracy means that the people decide on all the issues that come up in the country. So we would be voting every day on issues that come up in parliament. So instead of voting in a representative who makes all of our...

Trust: is it FREE, or does it have to be EARNED?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 22 Feb 07

jellybean80 I think that anyone who 100% trusts everyone they meet 100% is one of two things - either extremely naive, or, more likely in my opinion, lying to themselves! I don't meet intentionally or doing anything wrong in what they say, wouldn't it be a wonderful world...

What if Neville was picked instead of Harry?

stickricky808 @stickricky808 (69) • United States 19 Feb 07
