DoriLentrich Take a deep breath. Being on the witness stand is scary, but it's not life ending. At least you're not the defendant. First and foremost, talk to the attorney who called you (if you aren't being subpoenaed). Ask him/her what you should wear, etc. Don't ask...

DoriLentrich No, it won't get a girlfriend, but it's a good way to start. All the machinations that people do trying to attract others normally end badly. If you don't start with being true to who you are, then what's the point? Relationships are based on compatibility, if...

Have you found out that you spend more time on the internet than watching tv.

HeavenSent87 @HeavenSent87 (10) 16 Jan 12

Just the other day I was having a discussion with my friend about some shows show watches on tv, she asked me what i thought about this show and that show and I really couldn't relate because i actually cant remember the last time...

DoriLentrich I divide my time between both, but I think a lot more people are watching t.v. on the internet. There are so many ways to get television programming online, that it just makes more financial sense. I enjoy the internet, but sometimes I find all the reading and...

Do we have this wrong?

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 8 Jun 11

I think most of us, humans, have our relationship to Mother Earth all wrong, or at least we live our lives like that. We feel that the earth exists for human pleasure and use. The truth of the matter is Mother Earth is the host...

DoriLentrich Respecting our home is a very important thing, but make no mistake, we are not guests on this planet any more than any other animal. This is our home and we are children of this planet. The Earth is here for our use. Not our destruction, but we eat her...

Ambivalent about not wearing my wedding ring since I am widowed.

suspenseful @suspenseful (40193) • Canada 23 May 11

My husband would be dead a year on August 20th. I have always had problems with my fingers swelling so am used to take my ring off at night. And lately I have not worn it all the time in the daytime, depending on whether my...

DoriLentrich You should do what's right for you. As a widow, you are no longer obligated to wear your wedding ring. If you wished, you could pursue other relationships and possibly even remarry. Your ring is a symbol and it's meaning is only relevant to you. There are...

to-do lists

kquiming @kquiming (2997) • Philippines 28 May 11

i love making lists...what to do, what to eat this week, what to shop for... but sadly, i don't stick to it (almost always, most of the time)... i don't know for some reason i find things are just so, fluid...to even plan for...

DoriLentrich I think list making is an excellent exercise, even if you don't stick to the plan. So often, life throws something your way and you have to deal with it, but if you have a plan ahead of time, adapting becomes easier. You know what HAS to get done and what can...

The most admirable woman?

katie0 @katie0 (5203) • Japan 13 May 11

In your opinion. I know many will say the mothers but I never heard a story like Joanna D'Arc's. She saved France from slavery, with only 20 years she changed the destiny of a country. It is so amazing. She even faced being killed...

DoriLentrich While I agree that Joan D'Arc's story is inspirational, she's a saint in the Catholic Church because of it, I think you may overstate her a little bit. France was not in danger of being a slave state. The French were not slaves to the British, but they were...

How long should courtship last before marriage?

some say 1 year, others 2 years an others a few months. What do you think is the ideal period for courtship and why?

DoriLentrich It depends on the couple. They should decide how long. People are always filled with rules about this sort of thing, but sometimes after a few weeks, you know, other times it takes much longer to build a relationship that will last. Couples should have the...

Favorite Disney Princesses?

HansonFan @HansonFan (1653) • United States 29 Apr 11

Now that Disney has announced that there will be no more Princess movies, which one is your favorite and why? Mine was Belle for the longest time. I loved how she liked to read and was a truly caring person. Now, though, I adore...

DoriLentrich No more princesses? That's just wrong. The Disney Princesses are wonderful. Generations of women have grown up with the adventures of those girls. I don't know why Disney would stop production of them, but I can guess that the feminist...

Why Don't They Plan for the First Spouse to Be the 'Parenting-Partner' Instead?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21437) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 26 Apr 11

DoriLentrich Your plan sounds great if you don't mind constant back-biting, sniping and custody battles. For the parents this might sound like a terrific plan, but what about the kids? They'll have to be shuttled off from parent to parent, meanwhile they'll deal with...

Were people always so self serving?

megamatt @megamatt (14292) • United States 21 Apr 11

I think to an extent they were, but not to the extent that they are today. It is just a byproduct of a changing world. People are struggling and a lot of them are dealing with struggles in a way that might not be the best....

DoriLentrich I have to agree with the previous two comments. I've worked with Writing.com, and it was awesome at getting feedback. I've heard many good things about Critters. MyLot isn't really a good place for what you're talking about. This is more of an interactive...

Burning of ISLAM holy book quraan, provacative ??

redrose88 @redrose88 (92) • Singapore 5 Apr 11

Is burning of the holy quraan provacative in nature. why do the Priest advocate the burning of Quraan. are they trying to gain popularity , or to be provacative. USA should immediately punish the priest , but what are they...

DoriLentrich First, let's be clear, the man who burned the Quaraan was a pastor not a priest. So, please refer to him by the appropriate title. And on top of that, he's the pastor of a tiny, insignificant church. What he did was morally wrong, but to use it as...

Would you change your kid/s family name when you marry again?

DoriLentrich It depends on the their relationship with their biological father. I would recommend they be adopted by the new husband for legal reasons, but that doesn't necessitate a name change. A surname is a big deal and shouldn't be thrown out lightly. In the end,...

cheating is a things some people cant' get over...so if you cheated on your partner would you tell him?

DoriLentrich It depends on the circumstances. People make mistakes, sometimes big mistakes. If the cheating was a one-time thing, something that I would never do again, then no. It would be unfair to my partner to tell them. I should carry the guilt of my actions on my own...

DoriLentrich I think the show is awesome. It really has a cliff hanger feel to every episode and they keep pulling out twists and turns. Just when you think you know what's going to happen next, they do something else. I also really enjoy the emotional connections in...

earthquakes have no names...

jeanneyvonne @jeanneyvonne (5501) • Philippines 28 Mar 11

This question just popped into my head when I was watching a news story about the Japan earthquake. Really, why do earthquakes have no proper names? Or volcanic eruptions? They just state the place and year of the incident....

DoriLentrich Probably because an earthquake starts and finishes in the same spot. There is one location for it, whereas a hurricane can cover a large area. Also, multiple hurricanes can occur in the same area. So you'd have to have some way to differentiate which one you...

DoriLentrich It is possible to read more than one book at a time. It's not my preferred method of reading, but I've done it. Some people like the switching back and forth in plot lines. I prefer to go through it. I think you're right, it's more difficult to follow what's...

DoriLentrich Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels are the inspiration behind the television series True Blood, so if you want your vamps a little more adult, that might be a series to try. Also, you could always go for the original, Dracula. It's actually a good...
