free_man @free_man (7330) • United States 8 Jun 10

I do I think they are beautiful. I love all the kinds of beautiful colors they are. I like to pick them and arrange them in the same vase. I got some brown eyed susans last evening. I piced oh I guess a dozen and they look so cute...

Jules01 It's strange that I go walking in the countryside nearly every day but I never come back with any flowers. Maybe it's because some of them are protected so I'd get into trouble for picking them. Maybe I'll check which ones are not protected and treat myself to...

Have you ever experienced one trial learning?

Jules01 @Jules01 (131) 4 Jun 10

One trial learning is a special kind of learning. It happens when you are ill. You eat something and, if you get really sick afterwards, you learn from that one experience to avoid the food. You don't make a conscious decision,...

Jules01 I used to teach psychology. Believe me there is such a thing as one trial learning. It usually occurs when you have food poisoning. Maybe food allergies can cause it too, but that is not what I'm talking about here.

Will I quit or not?

jhodevera @jhodevera (32) • Philippines 4 Jun 10

I'd been working in this company for 11 years now. I was transferred on this group 2 years ago and I wasn't happy with my workmates. They had this "original core group" mindset. I took it as a challenge and tried my best to learn....

Jules01 I think this is something you should speak to them about and you should maybe speak to your manager about it too if that doesn't work. Keep a record of specific things that happen. If you ask for information can you use email so there is a record? Keep notes...

Any tips on how to loose 10lbs in 1 week???

ronz30 @ronz30 (275) • Philippines 4 Jun 10

I wonder if it really works to loose 10 lbs in one week because even my self I find it hard .. haha !! because we all love eating right? but if we continue eating unhealthy foods there's also a possibility that we can become obese...

Jules01 Lets face it, losing 10lbs per week would just not be healthy. I do think it's possible though. When Eddie Izzard completed a marathon every day he lost lots of weight. I suppose if you are exercising so much you just don't have time to eat. And when you do...

which do you prefer gold or silver jewelries?

Jules01 I love silver jewelry, especially some of the hand crafted silver. You can get some unique items if you look around the craft fairs and craft sites on the internet. I also have a bit of a strange problem with gold. When I was about 6 years old I suffered...

Jules01 Skype immediately came to my mind too, but both users need to be on a computer. That way it's free. Unless you can use a free messaging system on your phones. Any free internet minutes on the cellphones?

Jules01 True friendship is about give and take. Though we don't do a conscious calculation you find that when one person does all the taking the other one will become tired of it. Have you spoken to this person about what they're doing? Maybe they don't even realise...

Is it humane to get your cat declawed?

Rebeccarogers2010 @Rebeccarogers2010 (269) • United States 2 Jun 10

I recently got a kitten, I was planning on getting it declawed until I read how the declawing was actually done, now I am unsure if I want to go through with it or not.

Jules01 How would you like all your nails ripped out? I can't imagine why any cat lover would consider doing this. How will your cat protect itself from big dogs? You have to think of the consequences. What is it that you want to achieve? If you want to protect...

How much hour per day do you sleep??

lilmuchang @lilmuchang (261) • France 2 Jun 10

I read today that instead of sleeping for 6 to 8 hours per day at night, we could also sleep for 20 minutes every 4 hours. This way of sleeping is much more effective. Our neurons works more. We would be able to memorize things...

Jules01 The theory sounds good, but in practice I don't think it would work for me. You have to be able to fall to sleep quickly at will. I don't tend to do this. Sometimes it takes me a while to fall asleep. By the time i did sleep it would be time to wake up again....

Jules01 I would have thought that teachers would only do this if they thought it was really necessary. There must have been some sort of threat. Teachers don't do this for fun. I also think that it is there job to protect the children. If they believe there is a...

Jules01 I don't think that height has anything to do with love - unless we are talking about vast differences, then maybe it's unlikely that people would find each other desirable - though there are exceptions.
