I enjoy writing, and when I was younger I used to have penfriends, now I am again writing to penfriends across the globe, I actually really enjoy it, and it is so much more personal than sending/receiving an email. Does anyone...

bamamo When I was a kid, I had TONS! Since then I've written to the odd friend that I've worked with abroad that lives far away. I've only recently started to get more into it again and found some new penpals. Some I write to mostly by email, but I much prefer to...

I have always had an interest in learning languages. I would be interested to know how languages are taught in your country and how many years you study them? Which languages do you speak? I live in the UK. I studied French at...

bamamo Honestly it's very easy to pronounce. Unless there's a special character it's pretty much prounced as you would expect. The S with a "tail" is pronounced like Sh. The T with a tail is pronounced tz (imagine hissing between your teeth). A with a "hat" with the...

bamamo Yeah none of that works, been trying for years. I'm moving soon (not because of them) but I would be kind of reluctant to move BECAUSE of them. I mean there's people like them everywhere!

bamamo Sometimes this happens to me and I use Speedbit Video Accelerator, it's free and a small file, quick to set up. Just Google it. It does have a kind of annoying popup thing while it's accelerating but you can close that and it buffers a video in less than a...

Do you ride English, Western or both? I grew up riding English but the last 10 years I've ridden Western also. I enjoy both, but I think I prefer Western, for trails at least, because it's more relaxed. I do enjoy jumping...

bamamo You are very lucky to have such a close family. I honestly couldn't pick which family member I'm closest to, because really it's none of them. I've just been brought up with not particularly strong family values, divorce and a small family to begin with. It's...

This Lexie. Right now she has a mohawk! Her owner can't make her mane lay down on one side of her neck. So her owner roaches her mane! As you can see Lexie needs a hair cut! I expect her owner to give her a hair cut anyday now!

bamamo I bought my horse from my old instructor who had the horrible habit of roaching (or as we call it in England "hogging") all of her cobs. Because she did it for so long his mane would never grow out properly no matter WHAT I did, and I usually just roached it...

My reason of not spending much time with them is because I want to give them more space to breath and also for my own sanity. However, I feel stressed when I do it and I lose some cest. Though I think it is just a matter of the...

bamamo I know how you feel. I'm the same way. The best thing you can do is try to stay busy, get a new hobby, throw yourself into your work, exercise, etc. It's good that you are at least trying to give them some space, it's a start.

bamamo Yep it is a waste of water. I don't know if it's anything to do with cleanliness, and I sure don't do it, but I've heard in Japan some women are really shy about other people hearing them pee. So they would flush the toilet at the same time. Now they have...

bamamo You know how some people always lose their keys? I lose umbrellas. I've gone through SO many, and they can be kind of pricey. So usually I don't bother. When I actually do manage to find one to bring, I usually think to myself "oh it's not raining THAT much, I...

When you are reading a book how do you mark the page that you leave off on? Do you use bookmarks, fold the corner of the pages down or do you use some other method? For me, I got in the habit of using bookmarks because I borrow...

bamamo I never used to fold the pages at all but I sort of picked up the habit recently. If it's a library book which looks new, though, I will find a bookmark :)

bamamo If I love the book, I will probably write a review, similarly if I really hated it. Although I don't tend to finish books I'm really not enjoying, I would write about a book I liked but had a disastrous ending. If I loved the book I would hand it on to a...

bamamo I'm not sure how international they are, but I'm British and my au pair family in Germany only heard of them through their previous British au pair. I'm not sure how I feel about the new ones by his son, but the kids seem to like them anyway!

bamamo I am a huge reader, and own a Sony Reader which I love. It has awesome battery life, feels like reading a "real book", and I can bring about 300 books with me, which is a huge plus as I travel a lot. At times it's also more comfortable than holding a book, if...
