pianoswirly1 I was bullied in various stages. I'm mixed race, but I'm not sure whether this was what sparked bullying. Certainly, I was a tomboy, and didn't give two hoots for fashion. Name calling, mind games, vandalism of my property. School never did anything about it,...

pianoswirly1 I'm not willing to sacrifice my health for beauty, and besides beauty is on the inside. I need my feet for walking thank you. I don't think that it should be 'proper' for women to wear them to any occasion, that would be somewhat sexist to be expect women to...

pianoswirly1 I never try to change someone's mind over alcohol... I know what it feels like! Alcohol is not healthy, it's a drug, and I think that we should have the right to refuse anything bad for us. It's enfuriating to be pushed

iluvmydaisy @iluvmydaisy (333) • United States 31 Jan 07

I'm sure a lot of you have experienced a lost of a pet. I have lost two of my dogs and I know how heart broken I was. Then not too long ago, my horse died that I have had since I was 14( 7 years I've had her). I'm so heart broken...

pianoswirly1 I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine losing my horse. We become so close to them that it's hard to imagine life without them. I lost my first dog just over a year ago now, and it took me about 6 months to stop crying when I thought about her. The...

Exracers and the canter lead

pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 7 Feb 07

I have an exracer, who although has been off the track a long time, still has issues with picking up the right canter lead. Even though she is asked to bend and balance herself into the corners, she still has difficulty. I am...

Help! How do I get stains out of Polyurethane gloves

pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 7 Feb 07

I have a pair of 'mighty grip' white polyurethane horse riding gloves. They have bright purple streaks on them, and I have no idea how to get them out. I have tried bleach, white-spirits, metholated spirits, scrubbing, detergent,...

Are people getting out of hand with their dogs???

cNotable @cNotable (891) • United States 6 Feb 07

More and more, people are treating their dogs like little babies--carrying them in purses, putting them in clothes, etc. It is getting ridiculous. I know the celebrities like Paris Hilton do it, but that doesn't mean everyone...

pianoswirly1 I can't stand it. My sister thinks that by buying her dog diamonte collar letters and 'dogue' collars, she is being a good owner. The reality is she doesn't feed, walk or play with her, I do! Some dogs I think do not like having clothes on, after all, they...

Designer dogs, what is the world coming to?

pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 6 Feb 07

Shamefully, dogs (and other animals) are becoming accessory animals. People are giving them fashionable haircuts and buying them designer clothes and 'jewelry'. And why carry your dog in a dag, when (s)he can enjoy the sights,...

pianoswirly1 I never said it makes dogs unhappy. I have been watching my sister and 'her' dog for two years. She seems to think that an appropriate substitute for a walk is to buy a diamonte 'J' for her collar, and then goes around and tries to tell us that she is being a...

Hi I'd like to know from anyone out there a bit of info about horses. I know a bit but not enough. But firstly I'd love to know if we get two horses(because my husband has worked on stud farms and in riding stables and he really...

pianoswirly1 The rule of 5 acres per horse is subject to variation. This is usually for a horse not receiving any supplementary hay or concentrate, and on high quality pasture. 1 1/2 acres, although you may feed them extra, will not allow them to get far away from...

pianoswirly1 This is not right, and it is very poor of your College to not apply policies. It is not fair that these people do well for little effort, but it is also a problem in that these people do not truely have the skills for their future career/study. I think that...

Good dog for children

ladybella @ladybella (77) • United States 1 Feb 07

Does anyone know which breed of dog is good for children? I have a 2 year-old, and she's pretty rough with pets, so I need one with a lot of patience, who would feel more protective of her, rather than irritated by her. We have...

pianoswirly1 I'd advise you against small dogs, as they often have 'little man syndrome'. They are less tolerant and forgiving of children. A small-medium size dog is better. I always advise getting a dog from the pound, as these are the ones which are most in need of...

Coca cola is turning us into caffeine addicts

pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 5 Feb 07

I never liked coke very much, but about a month a go I had a couple of glasses in a day. The taste was horrible, yet I still craved it! I also recently heard that a study found there is enough caffeine in coke to make it...

Pets

Is it right to take pets anywhere and everywhere in home ? What about health hazards, with your pet being taken or allowed to move everywhere in the house ?

pianoswirly1 Probably not. Although I bathe and groom my pets very well, letting them sit on the kitchen bench is not a good idea! Animals harbour some diseases that can be passed onto people (zoonoses). Too much interaction in food preparation areas, on beds, couches etc...

How do you say no to the people?

ajithlal @ajithlal (14716) • India 4 Feb 07

People borrows your things and they do not return back. Sometimes you cannt ask to them because of feeling destroying a relationship. How do you say no to people about the things you don't want to give? Will that make a person...

pianoswirly1 It is hard to say no directly, but I often find, that when that 'certain' person comes to borrow, slipping in a couple of sly sentences, or claiming you need whatever it is back by the next day helps. Our neighbour is a shocker. She borrows my sister's...
