Are you CPR trained and certified?If not have you thought about this?
I had made my drivers licence in Germany, where it is mandatory to have a CPR licence in order to get the drivers licence. Secondly, I was a host on BLM lands here in the United States for 2 years, where I had to repeat this course every year. Whoever is certified, should renew the licence after a couple of years, because insights about it change, and new life- saving devices are introduced.

Have an easy to clean carpet protector on one certain spot, where he has to go in order to take the bone from you and chew it there. It is all a matter of education and sticking to it.

If humans find themselves in a similar global situation, they might act out of survival instincts also and forget...

What is the true name of Native American people that live in Alaska?

Straight women: Do you like the male body?
If your ID indicates that you are 14 years old, I have to ask you where you get your info you are posting. Would I like a body of a 14 year old male? only if it is my son and I would like it "motherly". If you are a grown-up, I apologize for my guessing and would simply state that I like my husbands male body because there is his soul in it also.

Answer to:
Should parents have total sovereignty over how they raise their kids even if that means the kids die young from overfeeding/starvation?
This question can only be answered on a case basis, I guess. When a baby dies because of malnourishment, the parents are responible and could go to jail - and opposite, when a kid dies of overfeeding, the same. One has to know the exact circumstances. With other words: it is the parents choice how to raise their kids, but putting them in harms danger means handing the choices over to authorities.

Why is the 400 yr old Goddess of Abundance sculpted with her chest exposed?
...for the same reason male gods were allowed to proudly show their penises. If this sculpture would be in the USA, it's breasts would be surely covered. In TV, even the sweet behinds of babies are censored.

I would be eager to step forward and do it myself. I have diplomacy, manners, can speak freely and I am not owned by any party or agency, nor by the government and I am not a member of any religion. Any representative of our world I can think of was or is not independent enough or strong-minded enough to deal with aliens......

I am not a psychologist, but my gut feeling tells me that you are pampered and have too much allowance.

Ilove a girl ..........she does not know i exist.........what to do???
To answer your question directly: If she does not know you exist, you have to let her know that fact. Many ways to to this: by being more talkative, being courteous, sending her a written nice note saying: I like you, do you know that? ( leave out the love, that is too early!!), asking her what hobbies she has or whether she likes any sports. Take your time to know her better. Time will tell...

Answer to:
Do you remember the hard-rock carreers of such stars as Rod Stewart (Faces frontman)?
I do not only "remember" Rod Stewart, he is still my favorite. Not so much with hard rock and early years, but when later on mellowed, his "soft rock" is just fine. I have almost every CD of him, including all 5 volumes of the "Great American Songbook". The song "Blondes have more Fun" still gets me out of my chair and lets me dance around.

Do you consider yourself to be a "Well Balanced Person" ?Why?whynot?
When "well-balanced" means having no mood swings, then in that sense I am well-balanced.
But when we talk emotions or actions, I am a real Scorpio........kissing in one moment and "stinging" in the next.......

Do you feel bad when you're eating in front of someone who is not eating? Why or why not?
Yes, let's say it feels not right....unless together at a table. It also depends in which location I am eating in front of others, it does not matter at a tailgate party or sports event, but it would be bad etiquette to be the only one eating in a closed crowd, like in a public transportation bus or metro.

Answer to:
Why am I having such a hard time losing weight and getting into shape?
The way you exercise you seem to gain a lot of muscles, and those weigh much more than fat. Be patient, the scale is not an indicator of your overall improvement. The pace you lose weight seems perfect to me, a very healthy pace. Just be patient and don't give up.

What makes Twitter boring to you? What makes it not boring to you?
I do not like it because it is impersonal. When I comment to other user's updates, sofar I did not get any comment back. The main purpose seems to be advertising. I follow mainly newspapers, doctors, health nuts etc. to be able to gain more knowledge about diverse topics.

True or false - Climate Change Requires A Consciousness Change?
False.
Climate changes are happening throughout the eons, since our earth has climates. Sometimes they are profound and sometimes hardly noticable. Antarctica once was a green island, with palms and elefants - and look at it now. It is not human's fault. And were once the glaciers covered the earth for miles high, there are only glacier valleys left.
The duration of the process of change can...

What do you do when you’ve been diagnosed with a life threatening condition?
At first I accept it. Then I would research it from all angles to find out what I can do to lessen the life-threatening facts in my condition, to better the symptoms and strengthen my Immune System.
Very often the condition has to be remedied by surgery. When the doctor would suggest that and it would be accepted by me I would try to get the next earliest surgery date possible.

How can one prevent unwanted thoughts from springing in the mind automatically?
Prevention is impossible but selection of thoughts is possible and should be exercised. As soon as you recognize a thought as unwanted, you change the picture in your mind and turn the thoughts into positive ones.

There is not such a thing as too much love. There is always enough and more where it comes from, love is generated endlessly by a "loving mind". Does that all make sense to you? Sometimes I cannot find the right words, must be getting old now.......

Old people have difficulties to have bowel movements, most people cannot go at all when not taking daily laxative pills and stool softeners. That means discomfort and feeling ill and getting not enough nutrition. Being successful on the toilet bowl is surely something to be glad about and worthy to share with friends. Being very old means also not being active anymore, it means living off their...
