DivaGirl It's a constant struggle for me. I want...I NEED a tidy environment...I am the only person I can trust to tidy it properly...but I HATE tidying. I can ALWAYS find something else I would rather be doing. So my place never gets tidied unless people are coming...

DivaGirl Love books - I read Time Travellers Wife years ago before it got made into a movie and everyone started talking about it. That's a book I could certainly read twice - even three times.

DivaGirl I never met my father. I knew his name, and where he was living and that he had other kids, and stuff, but since he never tried to contact me, I never tried to contact him. Anyway, he died, relatively young and unexpectedly. Since then I've tried to make...

Do you like the Toyota Prius? Would you drive one?

rjl1989 @rjl1989 (190) 30 Oct 09

Personally, I think it's big enough and powerful enough for most people. I'd like to see more Prius taxis as well. Surely as they're driving all day it would save a lot in fuel, and they're reliable, seat 5, have a practical...

DivaGirl I drove one as a rental once, I was pleasantly surprised at how gutsy it was, even taking the Rockies in stride. But since I was in a minivan that collided with a transport truck, I'm not really comfortable driving in anything smaller than my Ford Escape....

a planty purpose

CraftyCorner @CraftyCorner (5600) • United States 30 Oct 09

Do plants feel pain? Some say yes. Some say no. Nonetheless, there is a planty purpose. * Many plants use fruits and their consumption as part of a reproduction strategy. When they got humans in on their game, they got their...

DivaGirl I believe all objects have some degree of consciousness, both aminate and inaminate. So I suspect plants do feel pain. Tasty little things, though, no plans to stop scarfing them down!

Have you had success getting referrals on Twitter?

FreebieChris @FreebieChris (33) • United States 30 Oct 09

Call, Text, or Email? Which would you do?

FloridaGator09 @FloridaGator09 (66) • United States 29 Oct 09

At one time, if you wanted to talk to someone, you would do it face to face. Then with the emergence of email, face to face conversations seemed to dwindle. Then came cell phones and text messaging. If you had to ask someone a...

DivaGirl E-mail,(because I love having a record of the conversation) then call, then text...for the longest time texting was this great mystery to me, but I'm starting to figure out what all the crazy abbreviations mean!

Emotional brain first, logical brain after? Or vice versa?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 30 Oct 09

Something difficult, upsetting, stressful, challenging occurs. Do you first feel an emotional reaction and then settle down and figure out how to tackle it? Or do you think of a solution first and then only realize what your...

DivaGirl I think I'm often guided by my emotional brain, since it's braver and more authentic than my logical brain. My logical brain is big on avoiding "mess" as much as possible.

DivaGirl That's a great goal! Keep us posted how you make out - and any other great ideas you might have. I totally need to make or save $5 a 100 ways every month - and I can't cut out my Starbucks because that went by the board years ago.

Do your kids wash paltes in your house?

Bebs08 @Bebs08 (10681) • United States 29 Oct 09

Most kids here in America are not used to wash plates. They just dump their dirty plates in the sink. Well, I think not only here but in any home where the kids are not taught how to clean their mess. There are kids who love to do...

Is being a good girl worth it?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 30 Oct 09

Many parents say: "Be a good girl." But is it worth being a good girl? Or do you miss out on things. 'Bad' people who just get what they want can get much more out of life, but they also might lose in terms of feeling good about...

DivaGirl Having been the goodest of "good girls" for most of my life, I am finding myself strongly tempted to put aside my "good girl" ways these days, and explore being a "bad girl." I think "bad girls" have more fun. And at the end of the day, they may make smarter...

DivaGirl I am a reluctant leader - I never intend to be anything but a follower, but often I find myself in a situation where there needs to be a leader, and reluctantly I realize I'm probably the best suited to the task.
