How often are you wrong? Do you find it difficult to admit it when you are?
Submitted by emily ann.
I am never wrong. If I were, I would find it impossibly difficult to admit.
Do you know any war veterans?

What do you always forget to pack?
Submitted by quornflour.
A brush. I'm told I look sexy with bed-head, but I often wish I'd packed a brush. With a brush I can choose when to be sexy and when not to. I also forget my glasses a lot, because I never notice they're not around until there's something beautiful I want to see without the blurry - then I always regret not bringing them.

What's in a screen/user name? Tell us how you found yours.
Submitted by Bill.
My AIM screen name is happy2fall. I've had it for at least six years now, though I'm not sure how long exactly. It originally meant something like I'm happy to fall in love, because back then I really was - no matter how painful it could be. Now everybody knows me by that name, so I see no point in changing it... besides, I am still happy2fall; love is fun when someone actually manages to break through my jaded exterior.
On the forums and IRC channels of my past, and on Halo, I was known as DORK. My X used to call me a DORK because I liked being cheesy-romantic for kicks and because the ladies dig that shit, even if you're just joking around about it. Anyway it stuck, I like it, I am a bit of a DORK. My license plate is even "-DORK-".
What does it mean to live well?
Submitted by Dean.
A well concieved and thought provoking QotD? Why thank you Dean!
I feel that I am living well when I am mindful, meditating, or maintaining Bodhicitta. My actions are not only to my benefit as a source of happiness and merit, but also to the benefit of my fellow sentient beings, whose suffering I strive to mitigate and eventually end. Life is full of obsticles, but as I learn patience and understanding my happiness and satisfaction seems to grow unbidden. Reality is what you make it since, after all, it is a function of the mind, and my knowledge of Karma has made this (what some consider questionable) universal law apparent in every moment. We are living in the tide of action and reaction, and our pain is only equal to how much we fight the flow.
What's your suggestion for the Question of the Day?
Inspired by Princesskasren.
That it never be this question... there's already a form for submitting suggested QotDs.....
Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets?
Yes. The accident of life on this planet can't be universally unique. They're pretty certain now that there was life on Mars at one point, so if there was once life on another planet in this galaxy, the possibility of some other intelligent life form existing is a pretty realistic one. All this is outside my belief that there are countless sentient beings that this rock we call Earth couldn't possibly contain.
