Zawisza I don't generally find garden gnomes creepy... unless you half-hide them behind a bush like they're peeking out, or put them in places where they shouldn't be. But then it's not them that are creepy, but the thought of why, how, where, when, that makes the...

Have you ever dreamt that you could fly?

katsalot1 @katsalot1 (1618) 24 Feb 09

When I was a child, I used to dream so often of flying, that I really thought I could. I decided to put it to the test. Luckily, I was a very sensible little girl, so instead of flying out of the window, I tried from the low...

Zawisza When I was little I had dreams of flying... I also had dreams that I could turn into a dragon and fly like that... and funnily enough I didn't feel any different as a dragon than as I normally did, except that I'd wake up with my arms all tired from all the...

During a journey do you prefer a book or a magazine to help pass time?

mercuryman3a @mercuryman3a (2477) • India 24 Feb 09

I somehow prefer a book to a magazine. Magazines are boring and there is nothing much to read in them. Once you glance through it and see all the pictures, you do not feel like reading it in detail. With a book time just flies and...

Zawisza Books are always a necessity for me, even on short trips on the bus. If I'm going somewhere, I take a book. Magazines are extremely shallow, and they just don't get the brain working. I like to be engaged and made to think when I'm reading.

Zawisza Oh yes! I used to make toast, put pasta sauce, cheese, and cut up hot dogs on it, and then put the slices together and microwave them. Homemade pizza pockets! They were absolutely wonderful when I couldn't actually get a pizza.

Zawisza Never, EVER, give your ferret fruit or vegetables. You will see plenty of things saying it's okay to give your ferret a little bit of fruit or raisins, as long as its not too much, but that is going very much into the gray. Fruits and vegetables cannot be...

vtarcher @vtarcher (7) 25 Jan 09

Zawisza Well, if the lumps you feel are around the back angle of the jaw, where it meets the neckline, it could be indeed a lymph node problem. It could be cancerous, but most often enlarged lymph nodes are a sign of some sort of infection in the body that the body is...

Zawisza A good thing to do is the water and vinegar method, it should help with the smell and also kill off the bacteria that cause a stink. It'll smell like vinegar for a little bit, but once it airs out it'll be fine. Also, if you're able to, after you wash it with...

As pure as the driven snow? What does that mean?

Zawisza @Zawisza (63) • United States 30 Nov 08

Apparently, "as pure as the driven snow", or some such phrases, were used in Shakespeare's plays, and were supposed to mean the person was pure, untouched, unblemished. It was meant that the snow was "driven" by the wind, and...

Is there anyway to stop my ferrets smelling so bad?

jozefwozniak @jozefwozniak (107) 31 Oct 08

I dont want them to have their balls chopped off, nor do i want to wash them too often, cos it damages their skin. any ideas?

1 response

Zawisza A great, great idea is to get a huge plastic tub (you can use a cardboard box, but it'll be messier) and dump in rice. Cheap-o brand rice is fine, especially since, depending on how many you have and how big a tub you get, you might need a lot. Just dump all...

Are we being Robbed of our Health by eating Fast Food?

KYEEDAH1 @KYEEDAH1 (139) • United States 12 Nov 08

American society is heavy into eating fast food and on a regular basis. Some do not realize, though, that fast food is robbingus of or health. How often do you consume fast food?

Zawisza I think it's the overeating of fast food that is destroying health. It is essentially a person's choice whether or not to go to McDonalds or Arby's and eat there. But, it is true that fast food, as a whole, has opened up a whole new way for people to further...
