I love questions and answers as a category.

People ask all kinds of questions and get all kinds of answers here. Like what kinds of questions do you usually get at your job? Mine are what kind of meat is in your dog and cat food? What are the first 5 ingredients? How much does it cost? Do animals really eat this stuff? Why should I feed my cat or dog food I don't even feed myself, I can't afford salmon? What kinds of questions do people usually ask you? It can be at your job or anywhere.

What kind of questions do people ask me? Usually it is about my faith and why I do certain things like either placing a heart instead of an "O" in G♥d and why as a Christian do I lean more towards the Jewish ways and yet I am very different from both a Jew and Christian. So people ask me what my "religion" is..I tell them I have no religion because religion is bondage and I prefer freedom..

How about calling it a relationship which is what I have, like what you would have with your Father or husband, a loving relationship where I can tell Him everything and trust that He will take care of me...:) As for the hearts, this is how I do it, except leave no spaces: & hearts ;

Interesting, that last line must get you some remarks. I don't tell people my faith unless really, really pressed to do so and I'm sure the person accepts all faiths. Otherwise I steer clear of it, esp. here. Mostly because I value my freedom from people trying to convert me. Take care. How did you get that heart in there? You sure do a lot of neat things with your faith/beliefs/whatever you call it. Take care

I too like the questions and answers category very much as you get more chances of finding discussions worth responding since it deals with a lot of topics.

Yes, this is a nice category, but difficult because sometimes I find I have a category that I could have put it in elsewhere and gotten more responses, sometimes.Thanks

The most frequent question I am asked at work is, "where is the bathroom?" I work for an indoor ice skating rink/golf course complex. Am also asked how much it costs to skate and where's the drinking fountain. The prices are posted at the cashier's cage before entering the ice skating arena and the fountains are very obvious. I think people ask before they look. It's my job to direct them or answer all questions if necessary. Almost feel like a Walmart greeter while working. It can be interesting. I also have alot of people, who know I am adopted, ask questions. Do I find my biological parents and do I know my family history. I did find my parents but don't know all the history.

When I'm working, I find a lot of really lonely people ask questions and really, really want to talk to me for a long time. There are about three men that come into the store (each by themselves) and they talk to me for a long, long time. They seem very, very lonely. I guess if you don't mind people asking you personal questions, that's ok. Some people would be upset or bothered by it. Finding your biological parents can be difficult, finding out family history can be, too (even if not adopted). Take care and good luck.

I used to work in our library and I was asked so often do you know where I can find this book it was blue and had to do with a mouse who ruled a kingdom and it by some guy I thinkhis name starts with a w, or I need to find this book by Sherlock Holmes I think its by a Doctor someone. this I could answer fairly quickly you want A conan doyle as Sherlock Holmes is just a character in his books. But the first one I had a bit of a problem with but finally found the book by going to the computer and typing in titles that have mouse and kingdom in them.But these kind of questions were typical As if the color of the book would help in any way in a library with thousands of books in that color. The first question i often got was where is the rest rooms and the person is standing underneath a big sign showing where they are in huge letters but my favorite one was the lady who said I dont hear in English,and i had to say I dont talk in Spanish can your child interpret for me?

Oh yes, librarians get some vague questions concerning thousands of books. The best books I ever took out were wild edible plant ID and books about stretching a dollar like The Tightwad Gazette 1, 2, and 3. I also loved the Paddington Bear series. Plus kid crafts and story books like Curious George. Take care and I'm glad you helped all the people who came in no matter how vague they were.
