    Books and Intelligence

    Based on your own comments regarding intelligence, you should be able to understand my comments without me having to explain them to you. I've made a simple deduction based on your own conduct. In addressing me, you have not once addressed my comments based on the issue at hand. Anyone...

    Sorry. That's not quite right. When, by chance, did I suggest any irritation by your suggesting that SFG and I were friends? You really must stop pretending to know what I'm thinking and feeling, it does not benefit your argument in anyway. Now you only appear even less intelligent than you...

    what's everyone up to today?

    It must be international grocery shopping day. I'm just back recently myself. They were giving away free bouquets of flowers - a customer appreciation thing. I got a nice bouquet of mixed yellow flowers, including three roses, some daisies, and I haven't a clue what everything else is...

    Tragedy in London

    This is really disconcerting. It's awful when it happens once, but twice and so close together. I do hope all in the areas affected are safe and well.

    Girls - Weight Issues

    The only thing Hershey Bars are good for is junking out on smores. I can see how someone might get an odd impression when someone says they like Bat Bars or Chimp Mints. LOL! I've only had the Wolf, Grizzly, and Rainforest Bars.

    Girls - Weight Issues

    I diet, but I don't do deprevation dieting. I believe everything is allowable in moderation, more so if you exercise. My favorite chocolate is Endangered Species Chocolate. They make a bar with dark chocolate and raspberries that I love. The site is under contruction as I post this but...

    worst part of your character?

    I think I might do that subconsciously. ;)

    Girls - Weight Issues

    I never had issues with my weight until after I had my second child. I don't think it was necessarily a product of giving birth or because of my age, but because I became less active and probably ate more. I used to walk, bike ride, and dance all the time. I was rarely ever at home and...

    Books and Intelligence

    Your attempts to provoke and inflame me are as laughable as you suggestion that reading material somehow indicates or dictates a persons intelligence. Indeed, we are on a discussion forum, which would suggest that one attempt to discuss their opinions rather than use insults, provocation, and...

    worst part of your character?

    I'll let you know just as soon as someone lets me know. Before that's taken wrong I'll clarify. I obviously have character flaws but I don't have such great insight to know specifically what about me rubs people the wrong way.

    Congratulations yourself. I well understand the nature of the discussion, which began with you making unflattering remarks in regards to people reading Harry Potter. I expressed an opinion, much as you did, though I chose not to attack you or be insulting about it. If you miss the meaning...

    Books and Intelligence

    By golly - I've read The Chronicles of Narnia. I wonder if that means my level of intelligence has drastically declined over the years. Perhaps I better give up on reading The Three Musketeers. Oh no, that's right. The Three Musketeers is actually a story for young adults, which probably...

    How often do you buy books?

    Once every two months (I think) I'll pick up between 4 and 6 new books. I'll buy another 2 to 4 every four months or so online. And maybe once a year I'll go crazy and buy up roughly 10 used books at once. I used to buy books every couple of weeks but I've cut back significantly. If it...

    What do you like to drink while you read?

    The same things I drink any other time - juice, water, or tea.

    how do you feel when u read something awesome, but everyone else hates it to shreds?

    I think it's a matter of personal preference rather than someone not having any appreciation for literature. I get this attitude all the time for not liking things that everyone else thinks is great - I'm too uptight, don't understand the material, etc. No. I'm just an individual with...

    Are school holidays to long?

    I live way out in the rural suburbs. Most of the available programs only run for a couple weeks. There really aren't any back to back programs. And many of the available programs are only half days. There is typically 4 weeks of the summer that there is nothing at all available. Kookamoor...

    School Uniforms - Mandatory or not?

    I've never known anyone that had a set of school clothes and a set of non-school clothes. Whatever we put on in the morning was what came off at the end of the day - for everyone I have ever known. :confused:

    School Uniforms - Mandatory or not?

    I guess having grown up with four very messy brothers I see things from a different perspective. Their clothes were never clean at the end of the day. Even had they worn uniforms for school, at the end of the day they would have each dirtied a set of clothing. My mother still would have had...

    Banning Specific Breeds of Dog
