Do you love to read but your spouse doesn't?

cmauthe1 @cmauthe1 (267) • Canada 14 Jan 10

I have been a voracious reader since I was about 11 years old. I have read so many books from many different genres. I can honestly say that there have been only 2 books that I have started and found so boring that I just put it...

What do actuaries do?

cmauthe1 @cmauthe1 (267) • Canada 23 Mar 09

What exactly do these people do for work? It sounds like something to do with numbers or research or what? They must have to go to school to become one, right? I've heard the term before but don't know what it means. Thanks.

Do you have nicknames for your dog?

cmauthe1 @cmauthe1 (267) • Canada 22 Mar 09

Our dog's name when we first brought him home from the SPCA was "Todd" - who would name their dog that? We changed him name to Rocky as it had somewhat the same sound and we thought it suited him. But we also call him other...
