vividdawn I'm not really a dog person, so have a cat. But she might as well be a dog! When she was younger (and more spry without arthritis), she would chase her own tail in circles. She would be waiting at the door for me, when I got home from work... well, sort of....

vividdawn Technically, if you practice proper sanitary habits, even pregnant women can handle cats and scoop their littler boxes. Wash your hands IMMEDIATELY after handling waste. Do not touch anything between box and sink...in fact, it would be even better to just...

Coin jar - what do you use?

vividdawn @vividdawn (33) • United States 12 Nov 09

I used to use a coffee can. Now I have one of those nifty counter jars! It cost about $10, I think. Now I know how much I have in it! Granted, it's nice to have a 'secret' amount...also helps to keep you from spending it, if...

What do you do on facebook?

annok94 @annok94 (4) • United States 11 Nov 09

Anybody who has facebook, can you please explain to me what is the purpose of it. I'm confused about it.

vividdawn As with all internet things, be cautious when you make an account. Facebook does ask for your real name - this is so that people can find you. Like old friends from high school you've lost touch with, or maybe distant cousins that suddenly want to reunite, or...

vividdawn I'm 31, and still live with my dad. We help each other out. He's 75 years old, but healthier than me. So he takes care of me with my medical issues, and I try to return the favor with whatever I can. I give him $100 a month, to help pay the heating bill (I...

Your Cat Names and What Inspired Them

CaptHowdy410 @CaptHowdy410 (82) • United States 10 Nov 09

I am an avid cat lover, and throughout the years I've never had a normal name for any of them. Like Mustard, Gemo, Lil F**ker, Chip, Shmoe, and then there was Halo and Nirvana. They were the closest to normal names that I've...

vividdawn My cat's name is Paizly. It took me about 2 weeks to name her...I'm really fanatic about names, their meanings and origins. She was a stray kitten I rescued, because she has just stubs for back legs (no paws or ankles), and knew she wouldn't be able to hunt. I...

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall:What season do you like the most?

hunieby @hunieby (207) • Philippines 11 Nov 09

I like Autumn or Fall because I love looking at the trees changing their colors from green to yellow,orange and brown. I like walking down the streets feeling the crunchy sound of the leaves on my feet.

vividdawn For me, it's a tie between late spring and early autumn. Summer is too hot, and I HATE winter! I'm miserable when I'm cold and snow is annoying to deal with (shoveling walkways, scraping off car, driving on slick roads). Granted, snow is pretty to look at...if...

Do you go to school/college/work when you are sick?

coolcat123 @coolcat123 (4387) • India 20 Oct 09

I never miss a day anywhere as I want to be perfect and avoid being absent to my work. Same with my school also as I used to think that even a single day missed in school may cost me a high burden to finish the tasks.

vividdawn I think if you're sick with stuff like cold, flu, or any other airborne illness, STAY HOME! 2 or 3 days in bed won't be so bad, if you're otherwise good about being dependable at school/work... besides, some people (like me) have weak immune systems and just...
