He’s able to take these roles because he can live comfortably on Potter money. If he’d earned television money he’d already be feeling financially constrained by having to take lesser paying but more prestigious work or sell out to play some wizard in an exploitive blockbuster. As I said time will tell. I don’t think…

I don’t get this line of thinking. Men and women come in contact with attractive/younger/hotter people all the time. Should a wife (or husband, for that matter) make sure their spouse is never around anyone hotter or more attractive or younger so that the spouse doesn’t get ‘tempted’.

Eh. So many people sound reasonable when they’re still fresh faced and think they have a great future ahead of them, if he’s singing the same tune in 10 or 15 years when being typecast has dogged his career, then, I’ll be impressed.

I’m not alleged-victim blaming, but I were ever in the position to hire a nanny, I would never pick one who’s younger and more attractive than me. My girlfriend (who is young, bouncy, gorgeous, sheer physical perfection) used to nanny, and I can’t understand how wives weren’t terrified of her.

I will be the healer, if anyone needs a power up here is a tiny animal

No! Baron von Trapp was already widowed when Maria started caring for the children.

For me every cat I’ve ever encountered were total shits. Not so with dogs, hell I’ve had Police working dogs lick my face in a random traffic stop.

I had a dog that would hide his toys in my suitcase hen I was packing for a trip. Oh great, slobbery tennis ball nestled under my dress for a wedding! But I kind of loved it though.

Mine come running when the garage door goes up. They’re always excited to see us, and we both get home 3-4 hours before they get dinner, so it isn’t a food association (as dog owners love to insist). There’s much begging to be picked up, and head-butting.

Remember also that dogs are more or less are utterly dependent on their owners. If you couldn’t open doors or acquire your own food, you’d be pretty happy to see somebody that could too.

My cat is the same, both for the door and the bed. A few months ago I did an all-nighter to finish some urgent work. When I finally finished and sat down, he became stuck to my legs and did not let me move. I was his.

My mastiffs are very different. The small 100 pounder loves me so much she cries a bit when I come home. She loves to put her paws on my shoulders and give me kisses. She also enjoys hugs when I bend down and wrap my arms around her. She would never think of leaving the yard without me, when it was only her I didn’t…

My old dog used to mysteriously get up from whatever it was she was doing and sit at the door, patiently, as if waiting for something. Not two full minutes later, my mothers car would pull into the driveway. At first we thought it was just because of her daily schedule, but then we began noticing she would do it even…

But it’s not immediately obvious why our canine companions should grant us such an over-the-top greeting—especially considering the power imbalance that exists between the two species.

My two cats will stop whatever they’re doing, usually sleeping or knocking shit over, and come to the door to greet us when we come home.

My mother (who very recently moved in with me) has told me that, about the time I am due home from work, my cats start to congregate in the living room. When I come through the door they come up to me, get petted and talked to, and they go back to whatever mysterious cat business keeps them occupied.

NOT SO. I have had 3 cats thus far. Two of them would run to the door to greet me when I came home. The other cat was deaf and couldn’t hear when I opened the door - so if I was away for me than a day he would SLEEP IN FRONT OF THE DOOR so he’d know the second I walked in and would then immediately cry to get picked…

I adore dogs, but I recently got my first cat (I have a long commute and it wouldn’t be fair to a dog).

Cats would totally piss on a person aflame, because they know the quantity of their urine is not enough to extinguish the fire but would still make the situation less pleasant.

Because dogs are kind and love unconditionally. Cats would not piss on a person even if he were on fire.
