What is your pet's name?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 21 May 09

I'm always very curious about this one. Right now we have a bunny named Mephistopheles (Staphi for short), named that way because he's evil and has the blackest eyes ever (even though he's absolutely adorable). But I always get...

matt_smith86 My boy mini dachshund's name is Snapples. I named him that because he is a special type of dachshund known as a Dapples. My girl mini dachshund's name is Kiwi because I got her after him and Kiwi-Strawberry is my favorite kind of Snapple drink.

matt_smith86 I would have my dogs massages. I often do it after I take them on walks and they love it. I would charge by the amount of time. Those prices are definitely fair if not low.

do you squeez the toothpaste bottle from the bottom?

oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 26 May 09

matt_smith86 I usually just squeeze it in the middle or where ever it looks its fullest. I can't imagine that being such a big issue with couples. Your right that is shallow. Learn to deal with it or get your own tube of toothpaste.

matt_smith86 I usually ask if I can find a place that I feel safe to stop and ask. I've done it several time. This is often the reason I chose to drive instead of letting my husband because yes the male species does have a pride that won't let them ask for help.

How do you know your religion is the right one?

cj5guy @cj5guy (93) • United States 12 May 09

matt_smith86 I believe it is a matter of ignorance. People that are closed minded open swear that their religion is the only right one. But they are often unable to tell you anything about other religions and even worse they often have misunderstandings about those...

moonchild1au @moonchild1au (6240) • Australia 21 May 09
