1. A dog
Seems to me they have nothing to worry about. A cat maybe wouldn't be too bad either.

4. Aware.
Wouldn't that be a load off your shoulders, KNOWING that this isn't your one and only chance to get life right?

8. I'd like to be me again
I enjoyed being me in this life and would love to try me out again in another generation.

Or I'd like to be a cat owned by someone just me since I seem to spend way too much money and time on those furballs. If I wasn't available for ownership then I would take any other DUers here to own me (cept maybe TXLib)

10. people usually laugh
when i tell them a literary classic. a book can open the mind and transform a person. i'd prefer to reside in a library where i could
be shared by persons of different minds and experiences.

13. All the answers have been good
Personally I choose hairy.

A dog or a cat would suit very nicely :)

Otherwise, I'd choose:

A) a cute gay man (oh wait I already am! Ok a cute HAIRY gay man. Being Zak Spears sounds like a good idea.)

B) Angelina Jolie's bikini is a good idea, too. But being her cigarette sounds like more fun. That incredible mouth! Alternatively, anything owned by Mira Sorvino.

C) A tarantula. Great hairy legs (there comes that again) and fierce and scary, but basically cute and cudddly. Not a bad way to spend a short, insect-blood-sucking next life. And plus, I could adopt myself as a pet. Cool!

Khash.
(I still think "aware" was the best answer.)

18. I hope this is my last life.
I'd like to be done with mortal pursuits. Unfortunately, I do not think I've developed enough to be able to remain in the spirit world!

31. What if...
you just have a nagging hunch that you're done? Does it indicate that maybe it is your last life?

36. Like the Native Americans say
That once we learn all the lessons we need to learn then we are done.
You're just going through a rough patch right now. The anger and resentment will subside. I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

I don't think it's a bad thing to have another life either. It's just a part of the learning process.

38. It will all fade
as you find the answers. Which is what life is all about really I think. And experiences. I was angry alot too. Especially about my own poverty. But then I thought, I got to do alot of things that most will never experience.

It's probably why we need more than one life to sort it all out.

21. Myself with a happier childhood
I'm a person who, within myself, was really blessed with a lot, but how I was treated as a child really interferred with how I saw myself for many years and it still sometimes affects me if I don't stay very self-aware.

26. There's good and bad
I know I'm a darn good mother because I never want my children to question that I love them deeply. I'm not perfect, but they have not only done well thus far in their short lives, but thrived are all just smart, empathic, social little people.

For myself, that's another story. I know I would have made very different decisions in regards to my marriage if I felt as strong as I do now when I was 19 or 25 when some major things happened between us. I have a lot of regrets and wish I could have been a stronger person then. I am now, but it's extremely hard at this point because we do have children and must be responsible to them.

Probably the biggest impediment to my adult happiness is having to be an adult (some due to circumstances, many my own decisions) before I was really equipped to do so.

28. true
much the same here, I am happy with who I have become but it wasn't always an easy path to take! I'd have to say that I'm happier and more self-comfortable now than I have ever been

the 30's rock! :)
