ZeldaRose Hi! Does she just miss you? I know if my husband was away on business, I'd have to all but break my fingers just to resist calling him and hearing his voice. I'd talk to her. Just tell her that maybe a few calls a day is ok. Morning, afternoon and then...

What do you think of the people who respond to discussions like

Bala @balasri (26537) • India 14 Jun 09

'I don't want to reply as I do not have this', 'I never had this' , 'I have no experience in this matter'? How do you feel as you read these kind of responses? Do you consider these as proper responses or do you think that...

ZeldaRose I can't picture myself saying "I don't want to reply." If I didn't want to reply, I wouldn't in the first place lol. But for things I have no experience in, I might respond if I have an opinion, say from knowing someone who has had a similar experience.

I'm not exactly new to the arena of writing. I love writing poetry, the kind that rhymes. I have always felt stupid writing short stories, but dream of getting over the self confidence issue and delving into writing a...

ZeldaRose I was never into poetry until about five years ago. I loved reading it, but writing it wasn't my forte. You could try just free forming it. Writing in lines that just relate. Haiku's are excellent as well for practicing the poetry vibe. I'm betting the...

Type- or Handwritten?

ragenepalma @ragenepalma (166) • Philippines 14 Jun 09

When you write, which do you prefer? Computerizing and typing your work or handwriting it? For efficiency, I use the computer. But when it comes to poetry and self-expression, I like writing my work by hand. there's this joy of...

ZeldaRose When I'm in a flow, such as with writing poetry, handwritten always. I can't flow when typing. The pecking keys are too distracting. But for short stories and things, I type. It's not so much a flow as it is a method. I don't know how to describe it, but I bet...

ZeldaRose I've been to Spirit Lake Casino in North Dakota. Had a blast. The gambling was fun but so was the people watching. Played black jack and felt all big wig till I lost my $20 lol. It was so neat watching people gamble, seeing the older ladies camped out on slot...

ZeldaRose Love. Simply love. Know it, walk in it. Don't be a doormat. Be confident. Be exactly who you are in this life. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Why are you not in church?

heathcliff @heathcliff (1415) • United States 14 Jun 09

Do you ever get this question from friends, family, or just nosey passersby? Never mind that if they are around to ask you then they are obviously not in church either, but sometimes the question comes later in a...

ZeldaRose Attending Church is not a badge of good believer, in any religion. We are all human. It gets disheartening at times watching people cut one another down over beliefs and the way they "should" act. Last I checked, we are all human, fallible, with thriving egos...

will you copy your parents' parenting style?

flagella08 @flagella08 (5065) • Philippines 28 May 09

no one can't avoid being a parent except for some cases like serious illness or celibacy. we are what we are because of the way how our parents brought us up. we experienced being disobedient to their orders and sometimes hate the...

ZeldaRose I think if anything, I've "unlearned" my parents style lol. My children are listened to. I don't take crap out on them. They are allowed and expected to act like kids. If I do something wrong, I honor them and I apologize to them. Motherhood to me isn't a...

If you could be an animal instead of a human for a day, which would you be?

PeacefulWmn9 @PeacefulWmn9 (10420) • United States 12 Jun 09

I love being human, but every now and then, it is fun to imagine oneself as an animal, to experience the world from that perspective. If could be an animal for a day, I would choose to be bird. It would be wonderful to fly like...

ZeldaRose It's a toss up between a bird and a cat. I was going to say cat, until I saw my daughter pick up ours as the cat had the look of resigned horror on her face lol. So nix the kitty. I'd be a bird. To be able to fly free, to see the world as birds do, soar and...

ZeldaRose I like what you said about wisdom, Paula. I think wisdom of life experience is the key as well. Just like when you were a kid, you felt invincible. Not so much when you get older.

ZeldaRose I play a lot of computer solitaire, so I do not think it's a boring game. There are so many layouts you can do. When I am playing with a real deck of cards, I use the Four Corners layout (it's called many things). You basically draw card five cards and...

Do you cook most things "from scratch," or do you like prepackaged better?

PeacefulWmn9 @PeacefulWmn9 (10420) • United States 13 Jun 09

When the pace of life gets very busy, some prefer to cook with ready-made prepackaged foods. Others love to do it from scratch. I combine a bit of both, depending on the busyness of my day and the time factor. For the...

ZeldaRose I'm bad about not cooking from scratch, yet I find it much more rewarding when I do. Cleanup is what I hate lol. There is something deeply satisfying to me to get the hands messy kneading dough, and I find it fun getting out the mixer and beating ingredients....

ZeldaRose There's nothing wrong with saying "I know how you feel" as long as the tone of your voice is understanding, open, and non judging. It's the equivalent of saying "I relate to how you are feeling". We all have differing feelings, but at the same time when you...

ZeldaRose Yes, I believe everything happens for a reason. We have free will and can make choices, but I don't really believe things are just coincidences. It's fascinating to look back and see the odd things that have happened and feel thankful that they happened, when...
