Nail Biting --- Do you bite or eat your nails???

jenniferlibrarian I bite my nails. I can still remember the first time I did it - I was seven years old, sitting on my parents' couch. I remember consciously deciding to try it. Twenty-two years later I'm still doing it and my nails are in terrible shape. I've tried getting...

Hey out there, all you genealogy buffs? Have you ever hired a professional genealogist? How was your experience? Did the researcher give you your money's worth? I have recently opened a genealogy research center in Texas. We...

Does anyone have advice for a novice?

jenniferlibrarian @jenniferlibrarian (20) • United States 30 Apr 07

I just started knitting with the help of a friend. I've got the hang of it, but all I'm doing so far is a scarf, and whenever I mess up I have to take it to her to fix!

jenniferlibrarian Thanks! My friend who is teaching me knitting has that book and she also loves it! I'll see if I can borrow it from her.

Who do you take after?

I have a lot of people tell me that I look like my mother in the face, but I have (unfortunately) inherited my father's weight/build. Who in your family do you resemble?

jenniferlibrarian I look exactly like my mother, but with my father's nose and height. It's weird to see pictures of her when she was young - it's almost like looking at a picture of myself, if you ignore the nose.

Have you read any books which made you laugh?

lida44 @lida44 (223) • Finland 24 Apr 07

I read a lot and quite often even in the books where dicribes serious metters can be some parts which make me laugh. I like reading books filled with satire, irony or just humor. I like P.G. Wodehouse's books, as well as i was...

jenniferlibrarian The first book that really made me laugh out loud was Bridget Jones' Diary. Unfortunately I was on an airplane at the time, so I looked fairly silly. Before that I wasn't really into humorous books, but since then I find I really like a nice light, funny read...

Have you read the "His Dark Materials" series?

jollyjeangiant @jollyjeangiant (219) • United States 29 Apr 07

The movie that's coming out has a pretty cool website, and I was wondering if people here liked the books (by Philip Pullman, right?). I usually like to read the book before I see the movie, and while I don't have a lot of free...

jenniferlibrarian I really loved these books. Some of the scenes were so vividly written that I can still picture them years after reading them. I do think the ending was a bit disappointing, but being disappointed with the last couple of chapters of a three book series meant a...

When you sleep, do you sleep on your right side, left side, back, or stomach?

LordGregoroftheSith @LordGregoroftheSith (667) • United States 29 Apr 07

It is said that depending on how someone sleeps you can tell a lot about them, if you sleep in a ball you are "shy, enclosed, and not very talkative" if you sleep on your back you are "open, talkative, out-going" and if you sleep...

jenniferlibrarian I think I disprove this theory. Or perhaps I'm the exception to the rule. I fall asleep curled up in a ball (who knows if I stay that way or not?), but I am not shy. I used to be shy when I was a kid, but not anymore. Introverted, yes. Shy, no. I don't know...

jenniferlibrarian What a wonderful question! If only I had all the time in the world as well, instead of just one month. I believe I'd spend the time in the Czech Republic. I've been there twice and both times felt completely at home. Prague truly is a magical city. As you walk...

Shelties

butterflydawn @butterflydawn (297) • Canada 23 Apr 07

Just wondering how many Sheltie owners are out there? Has your Sheltie been de-barked? How do you feel about the practice of de-barking a dog?

8 responses

jenniferlibrarian Hello there! I'm a Sheltie owner too. Our Sheltie is just a puppy, about 5 months old, and his barking is terrible. We're lucky to have understanding neighbors. We've tried a citronella bark collar, but it's too big for him, so it doesn't sense when he barks....

jenniferlibrarian I'm with you on Alobar and Kudra! They're wonderful. I'd also like to throw Heathcliff in the ring. He is one of the most multi-faceted characters in English literature. Tragic, yet terrible; heroic, yet hateful. His undying passion for Katherine is both...
