| When I was at Small Group this past Monday, I happened to mention that I could use a haircut but that I hate getting one because people touch me and think they can talk to me. This elicited some laughs, especially from a girl who happens to be a hairdresser. She said, and others agreed, that it woul... |

| if someone expresses to us their thoughts, then we can know them. Precisely! I was trying to refute stardraigh's idea that we can never have knowledge of another mind like the deaf can never know what sound is. If the deaf can learn to lipread than we can learn empathy. Okay, I understand now. I th... |

I do not understand the above comment. It is impossible to touch someone's mind. We also have skin, not just bones. We actually have a lot more than just bones. Also, if someone expresses to us their thoughts, then we can know them.
I am not exactly sure where you are going with this. |

| I ran across an article, albeit a very short, not-so-helpful article, about mind-blindness a few weeks back. For whatever reason, and I really hope that it is not because I am an idiot, I have been unable to really grasp what this means. I think it is that I have a difficult time explaining it in my... |

I should also say that I am trying my best to word this in a way that is not hateful, but I may have trouble with that. I would like to also give the disclaimer that what I say is not int... |

| I've always heard that Tokay geckos can be little as*holes. Someone I know had one and he said it was evil. But then again, I've seen online where people have Tokay geckos who are as tame and docile as leopard geckos. Chances are, if I got one, it'd be a little butthead who'd hate me. LOL. I like lo... |

| I was reading a book recently that had things about that type of gecko in it and it's just a wild looking gecko. So awesome. I'm really interested in Chameleons right now. Snakes were definitely an object of my interest as a child, though my Granma hated them so much because they creeped her out. LO... |

| Yes, Bearded Dragons are really cool. I definitely am interested in getting one someday. I'd name it Patrick. Axolotls are really cool, too. Unfortunately, they are endangered. I only like the albino morphs. The mottled brown ones aren't as aesthetically pleasing. I think what makes them look so cut... |

| Is anyone out there really interested in reptiles, leopard geckos specifically? I have 2 leopard geckos, Oatmeal and Potato. They were PetsMart purchases (ew, I know), so I can only make guesses as to what morphs they are. My best guess, and a safe one at that, is that Oatmeal is a Normal/Wild Type.... |

Does anyone else like knowing the definition of words as defined by a dictionary and reading that dictionary as you highlight your favorite words in order to collect them and copy them down in a notebook later on?
Or, is this just me? |

| I am really enjoying the last few days of reading about things. It's so much different than when I was a kid. All I had back then was encyclopedias (not even a full set) and one or two books that were about all animals, not just the ones of my special interest. The internet has made it seem like a c... |
