It is a newly-discovered South American mammal called the olinguito.

Aww I'm sorry. I know how hard that is. I felt the same way about my doggy—he was in a couple different homes before he ended up with me at around 7-8, and I had to put him down a few months ago when he was at 11-12. Something friends that have told me (that I now in turn try to tell other friends going through the…

I was a late bloomer, as was a lot of my friends... The first relationship I had was when I was 20, but a lot of it was long-distance. And I didn't have my next relationship until I was 28. I have a lot of friends that never really dated, and then in the mid-to-late twenties, most of them ended up meeting someone,…

I've been single about a year and two months. Before my last relationship, I had been single for a very long time—like 8 years, and I really thought 100% that he was "the one." I just can't foresee really having that with anyone else again.

Sometimes it just takes time to meet the right people you click with me...In college, I ended up meeting some of my closest friends through a service organization. I know sometimes it's hard to follow the advice of "keep joining clubs," but try to find things that you are really interested in, and that's where you'll…

Hmmm... I think my morbid curiosity may lead me to briefly check it out...

How is the new Bridget Jones book? I heard Mark Darcy is no longer around, and that makes me not want to read it...but I loved the first two (especially the second one!)

I say go for it, but try to take it slowly.

Congratulations on getting out, I know how hard that can be, but I'm glad you were able to do it.

I highly recommend going to a psychiatrist as well as a therapist, as sometimes anti-anxiety meds can really help. As for my therapists, the trick is finding one that you feel like you can click with and talk to. Sometimes it takes a while, and you have to try a few—but it's not worth it trying to keep going with…

I finished a book called 13 Golden Monkeys. It's a fictional account of a true story—about little golden lion tamarins (a small type of monkey) that were born in zoos in the US, but then reintroduced to their natural habitat in Brazil. It's cool, because it tells a fascinating true story, but goes into the monkeys…

I haven't had a dog that big (my biggest was 75 lbs), but my advice would be to take him to obedience lessons, and really work hard at reinforcing it with him on your walks so you can maintain control.

I hope you are able to move soon! Sounds like your roommate is being a major jerk, and it's so scary once you've been broken into... good luck on getting out as soon as possible!

If you like historical fiction, I recommend Philippa Gregory's Cousins' War books (about the war of the roses). I've read the first three so far, and I've really like them (and the Starz series the White Queen is based on the several of them). I really like that each book is from the point of view of a different…

It's pretty! I say where it whenever and wherever you feel like! Isn't that the point of pretty jewelry?

Woo-hoo it's finally here! I've been waiting for SNS all night. The friend I was supposed to hang out with tonight never returned my call, there was a party I could have gone to but I didn't (and now kinda wish I had), I don't have any wine (which I would have picked up earlier, if not for the fact I thought my friend…

It's not that easy or enjoyable for some people... not everyone gets a running high (or can run long enough to get that high), and the obstacles to feeling its fun are burning lungs or cramping legs.And I say that as someone who has been trying, really hard, to get into running and do it regularly. It's something I…

I'm do a 5k in two weeks that's a doughnut run! It seems like a fair amount of 5ks have doughnuts or beer or something delicious and unhealthy as an incentive...I love it!

When I'm sick and my voice is starting to go, I rely on mainlining tea with honey. Have you taught before coming to China? Sometimes I feel teaching/lecturing just puts more of a strain on my throat, so I'm more likely to get scratchy when I'm feeling well, and begin to lose my voice when I"m sick.
