If you have a lazy eye and you look in the mirror, can you see that one eye isn't in line with the other?

Most cities have a place where the 'arty' types seem to live - for example in London it's Shoreditch - where is the equivilent in NY?

I've been with my boyfriend for a year. I've never felt like anyone as I do about him. He's handsome, funny, generous, sexy, emotionally articulate, kind, opinionated...YET over the past few months it's become clear that we have nothing in common. I'm not exaggerating this, nothing. The only social activity we both are ok doing together is the cinema. We're both stong-minded individuals, and we could talk for England, but for some reason, when we're together can't find anything to talk about. And we hate doing each other's interests. I'm so confused because we both totally love each other - we communicate about emotions brilliantly, yet when it comes to the social interaction there's nothing there. It's like we said everything in the first few months!

We're on a break to sort our heads out. I'm so confused. Has anyone been in similar situation? Any ideas/advice gratefully recieved. Am going out of my mind with sorrow. I don't want it to finish, but feels inevitable.

Most public toilets/washrooms have either a hand dryer, paper towel or one of those big rolls of towels. Which is the most environmentally friendly?!

I'm doing research about 'wild food' in Britain (i.e. stuff you're not going to see on the supermarket shelves). Has anyone ever heard of people cooking and eating wild animals? I've heard of a restaurant that serve squirrel (they call it tree rabbit), but wonder if you've heard of people cooking badgers, foxes, hedgehogs or any other of our native species (apart from pheasant, guinea fowl and rabbit etc).

The term purgatory in accordance with Catholic teaching, is "a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace are not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions." (wikipedia). Is this life, on earth, really just purgatory?
