How did snap dragons get there name?
Snapdragons get their name because when you pinch the back of them, the two petals separate. When you let go, the two petals "snap" back together, thus earning the name "snapdragon".

How It All Started
Hi, my name is Valerie Garner. This site is a natural outflow of a journey I find myself on at this stage of life; I invite you to join me. I have found myself totally burnt out from a good paying corporate job, along with the heavy hours that goes along with it and feeling like I didn't have a good handle on the whole work life balance issue. Yet, I saw no stopping or slowing down anywhere on the horizon. I was feeling as though my schedule dictated my life, instead of me dictating my schedule. It was like time was going faster and the demands and to-do lists were growing at an equally steady pace. I felt as though life was happening to me and I had no choices anymore, but what I was craving was a sense of deep rest, comfort and peace and balance. A slowing down to smell the roses, so to speak.
Something's got to give here; I knew I needed to make some changes before something very serious happened. I knew I didn't want to live like this and I needed to take better care of myself. I have beautiful grandchildren (and children of course) I long to spend lots of time with, to offer to them a break from the frenzy of life when at our house, and to be a good example to them in their lives.
I was at a major crossroads in life, wondering, "what do I really want?" How do I want to live? How does reality fit into the picture, after all, the bills still go on and need to be paid? How do I balance work and life?
This website is a resource tool dedicated to finding articles, and ideas, which may lead to a more comfortable, balanced life. I see people all around me who also seem to feel this way and resonate with similar desires to slow down and enjoy life more, with those they love. When I say comfortable life, I don't necessarily mean wealthy, as I don't think they mean one and the same. Financial strain is a huge source of stress; therefore there are lots of ideas on this site for possibly raising your income level and/or reducing debt. Finances also have a strong tie to how much time you have available and the resources to do the things you want.
Are dragons real or are they just a fantasy?
Scientist all thought that dragons where a myth a fantasy but there wrong scientist discovered a large fossil about the size of a t-rex with long wings and sharp teeth with sharp claws also some people say that animals did exist in the past life and for one i sure do believe that they were real
I have a similar oppinion. Dragons are real. I'll tell you why. I have good points to back me up too.
- How is it, that every human colpture, and I mean every one of them, has a story to tell about a flying, scaly, fire-breathing creature with long, sharp teeth and claws, even the colptures that come from around ice, where no reptiles are found, yet still, they have stories about these creatuers, so how is that possible?
- How is it possible, that one of the largest T-Rexfossils, has the crown (top) of it's skull scared by Tallen marks (the claws on the back legs of a reptile), an injury from above, so how is that possible?
- If dragons did not exist, then how did man-kind discover fire? The first sightings of fire, came from a dragon, as it says in an old myth, which brings me back to my first point.
- How did the dinosaurs come to be? They must have evolved from some kind of creature. The first ever creature to walk the Earth. The Dragon. And, how do you think that pterasaurs got their wings? The didn't just stick sticks there and put leaves on them as a substitute for wings, and even if they did, they wouldn't be smart enough.
- Also, why did the Dragons, A Fantisy Made Real series, they are true. If you wonder where the futage of it is and when the people said 'where is the original foutage', they did not lose it. What you see is the real foutage, and, that may not be the real deal, but they baised it from what really happened.
- How did humans learn speech? As said in mythology, Dragons where the first creatures to speak, and yet again, man-kind had stolen their speech and intelagence. That is why we eat red meat (or, well, some of us tofu and stuff) be cause we coppied the dragon.
- And, my final staitment, if the dragon was not real, then why do some psychics, sence the aura of an unknown, reptile-like creature.
So, this information proves my point. And, all in all, I believe, and think of it this way, for every person that believes in dragons, a new dragon is born. So, what I'm saying is, the more people whom want to help these beatiful creatures from extinction, the more dragons are around. These days, there is probly only 5 or 6 dragons left in the world. So we must protect these mighty creatures!
If dragons die out, some peoples hopes and dreams will be shattered. Hopes of finding, one of these majestic creatures, will be gone....
It depends on the type of dragon, it's diet, it's weight, and it's size. An adult dragon will eat more than a baby. A fat dragon will probably eat more than a skinny one.
Dragons breathe fire when they are angry or they have been annoyed too much.
What species of mythical dragons are there?
Frost Dragon, European Dragon, Gargoyle, Amphithere, Knucker, Lindworm, Sea Serpents, Marsupial, Each with their own preferred habitiat!
Usually, types of dragons depend on what country you're in, what you usually believe, and/or what you want to believe - for example, you can even make up your own dragonlore according to what you think dragons are like.
What are Dragons with wings and legs called Eastern or Western Dragons?
If your talking about the big scaly ones that breath fire and look like lizards with gargoyle wings, those are western dragons. Eastern dragons are the ones that look like snakes with the weird heads, that can't breath fire and have no wings, but can still fly. Weird....
Yes, water dragons can here. They don't have ear like humans but just holes in the side of their heads. They can hear quite well both in and out of water but re-lie on other senses more then hearing.
ok, first off they can hear just fine. not quite as well as a cat or a dog but better then you or i can. second off its spelled hear not here, and 3rd off its rely. if you cant even grasp the English language you cant own pets you tool. anyways. ive got a couple of Chinese water dragons and i vary what i do alot and try new things. so if you own one and have questions let me know. my email is godking666@shaw.ca
Do Dragons Have a Part In history long ago?
When dragons came to Earth out of their dimension it was because they wished to teach us and find a place other than their home-dimension to live. So, they all came here, over 500,000 of them, after the time of dinosaurs since dragons dislike violence. In the Middle Ages, knights almost wiped them out and established the stereotype we know today. The worst dragons ever did would be stealing cattle out of starvation. Now there is a very small population of them left in the world.
Why are dragons sometimes know to be fierce?
Dragons are a predatory creature and are known to take the occasional bite out of wandering children and maidens chained to a rock. And for that we've gotten this whole fierce image - as if you couldn't spare one or two of those every now and again - like really your population seriously need curbing so what's wrong with us trying to help? And as for those knights in shining armor coming along and trying to stick lances into us - well what'dyou expect.
Hmm... If you're being honest, I'd suppose you're a dragon as well. Hmm... Which species? I've already got my eyes fixed upon staying single- forever. You know, we aren't all that way, some of us have actually figured out how to get around without needing to take a random bite out of a human. I don't eat humans, normally I go without, but then again, I don't really need to eat anything, anyway.
A person who kills dragon, which I really don't get. I mean if it killed someone close to you, I could understand why you'd want to kill it, but why else? It probably has a family, too. Dragon slayer still exist today, which I don't get even more. Its illegal to kill a dragon anyway. A small bird, the Polish wren actually. So named because it was seen pestering a dragon that had wandered near its nest. It was so small and inoffensive the dragon took no notice but the impressionable people who witness the occurrence have given the little bird mythical powers. Oh the power of the press.
It's very difficult, and you would probably want to just kill it.
Actually you can't catch a dragon, you could find one though.
Generally you don't catch dragons, they catch you.
How did Draco the dragon get its name?
During the time of the Ottoman empire the nations of the Balkans united to form an order of religious knight to block the advance of the empire into Europe. Just as there was the Knight Templer, the Knights Hospitaler, Teutonic Knights: the Order in the Balkans was The Order of the Dragon. Many surnames from this region of the world take their origins from this order of chivalry. Draco was a dragon who being caught up in the turmoil of the religious wars on a couple of occasions chose to side with the christian forces. This was not a decision of any great reasoning, more of a coin toss sort of situation. He had to assist one side so chose the christian. In gratitude the christian forces awarded him the name Draco in much the same way other Knight chose a Dragon related surname.
How do frost dragons breathe frost?
Dragons breathe anything using the magic flowing throught the things around them. They're like magicians (The real ones, not the crappy Vegas ones) except they usually channel it through they're mouth, and in the terms of dragons, that would be fire, ice, lightning, acid, poison gas, pure magical energy, and a gaseous substance that transmutes anything to diamonds. The can also heal, but that is rarelly used.
Dragons often eat different things. If you are including all dragons then all the food in all are:
- Livestock
- Fish
- Chicken
- Any source of meat
- And waffles
They often drink:
- Water
- Milk if they could find it (its a treasure to them )

Someone told me the idea for Dragons came for men. They said that the being of men is in a form of a Dragon because Dragons are fierce and brave. Also they can be docile and the being for women is a Phoenix.I didn't understand why but the belief in Dragons is only real when it is proven.
According to Ursula LeGuin The Dragon language has a real connection to the things that they name and knowing the name of something (in Dragon language) gives you the means to control it. The basis for all Magic in the EarthSea Chronicles was knowing the names of things in Dragon language. Another interesting fact - humans cannot lie in Dragon language but Dragons have no such restriction and are therefore better at it than most humans. Magic that Dragons use. a more aggressive version of regular elemental magic. much more powerfull and not to be trifulled with
