Unfortunately, the tiger temple had a bunch of their tigers removed and is being investigated for trafficking tiger parts (they found dozens of pelts and frozen cubs- super sad :'( ).http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/09/asia/thailand-tiger-temple-denies-charges/

Most of the suburban neighborhoods are houses, with parks & rec areas, then have shopping centers within a mile or 2 (shops vary, but at least a major grocery store, coffee, small shops and restaurants; some centers are bigger and have movie theatres and clothing stores, etc). I wouldn't describe most neighborhoods as…

I'm a San Diego native, and wouldn't consider living anywhere else. What's considered San Diego is spread out over 30-40 miles, from the beach to the mountains. My personal experience with schools is with the Poway Unified School District, which is one of the best in San Diego (encompasses Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho…

I had a cat who would not stop meowing, so if my door was closed and he wanted in and for some I didn't want him in or if I was gone and couldn't let him in my room, he would meow away- he would actually get hoarse (I felt really bad, it was very pathetic and cute at the same time. He wasn't full Siamese, but he was still…

My hockey team is looking for a new name, but none of us is particularly clever, so if anyone wants to throw out some suggestions, I would appreciate it. Initially, the guys wanted to have a star wars theme, and wanted storm trooper jerseys, but I had to remind them that storm troopers miss all their shots. I was surprised…

My cats Seraphina (on left) and Augustus (on right). They drive me crazy but I love them so <3

From my many years of watching "People's Court", here is my advice. First, put your neighbors on recorded notice. Just talking to them won't stand up in court, send them a certified letter stating what happened and your concerns about a future recurrence. If in the future their trees falls on your property and damages it…

If you really regret not playing, you should find a local rink and learn to skate. Or if you can generally cruise around on the ice without falling too much, most rinks have multiple levels of hockey leagues including adult beginners or even just some hockey skills classes to start with. Its never too late to play hockey.…

The taste of nail varnish didn't deter my nail biting, but if I put color nail polish on my nails (green or blue were my favorite colors), I stopped biting my nails since getting flecks of nail polish in my teeth was not a good look and super embarrassing.

California has a policy that caps or reduces benefits to women who give birth to additional children while already on public assistance, there is currently a legal fight to end the cap, so TheRoadDog's concerns are valid.

I play in a couple of leagues. I'm not the best, but it is still a lot of fun :)

People who want to ax a question. No, you may ask a question.

First, no one should be called names or degraded. And I respect her for loving herself no matter what (If you can't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?). However, she is making excuses for herself by blaming PCOS and that irritates me. A symptom of PCOS is being overweight, but that doesn't mean you are stuck…

According to Emily Post, it is polite to show appreciation in the form of a gift or the cost of one service session, to people who regularly provide a personal service. Personal is the major factor here, as is the regularity of the service. I only get a massage once or twice a year, I tip at the time of the service but not…

My Augustus and Serapheena:

I have a giggler at my gym. I can hear him with my headphones on. He'll use a cardio machine near mine, and giggle for 30 minutes straight. I'm assuming he's listening to a comedy routine or something, since it is literally non-stop guffawing. Nothing is that funny. This has happened multiple times.

Do you wear a heart rate monitor or a mp3 player strapped to your arm? It could be too tight. My dad had this same problem, he thought he was having a heart attack but it turned out he had over tightened his mp3 player so it wouldn't fall off while he was running at the gym.
