Do you keep your fruit in the fridge or on the dining table?

dhawanbm @dhawanbm (3705) • India 28 Jun 09

Fruits are best stored in the fridge, but out of concerns many people keep it open on the dining table. I dont consider it good as most of the fruits are perishable and get easily out of shape and value on content! What about...

4blessingsmommy I agree with you that men to try to insert their beliefs instead of just following the teaching of the Bible. The Bible had women who taught the gospel. God used illustrations of the strength of women all through the Bible. The Bible had a woman judge. Women...

DO you believe in God? And if you do what kid of church do you go to and what do they teach?

5 responses

4blessingsmommy Yes, I do believe in God. I attend a non-denominational church. It is Church of God, the one from Anderson, IN. It is the same type of church Bill and Gloria Gaither are from. We are a holiness church teaching only Bible doctrine. No man made doctrine.

When potty training would you use pull ups?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 24 Jun 09

This always seems to be a contentious issue for parents. I've come across many parents that say they will never use pull ups because the kids just think that it's a diaper and they use it as such. Plus they're expensive when...

4blessingsmommy Hi! I am the mommy of four children, and I would have to say that for two of them I used pullups and for the other two I had to limit their use. My oldest child and my third child really took to potty training. They loved their pullups and didn't want to...

4blessingsmommy Taco soup is a simple recipe and you don't really have to do much of the cooking. You just brown 1 lb of lean ground beef or ground turkey. Put it in a slow cooker or crock pot. Also put in the crock pot 2 cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of white corn, 1 can of...

4blessingsmommy Actually, I don't think it is alway the nature of kids to demand every toy they see in the store. Of course their are exceptions to this, but I think we train children to do that when we give in to them each time they ask, or when they have tantrums, etc. It...

do stars have to sacrifice their privacy to get popular

chryslark @chryslark (89) • China 18 Jun 09

With the development of modern media , public figures's privacy is easily exposed to the public. Some people say that as a star it is their duty to satisfy people's curiosity. What do you think ?

star privacy

4blessingsmommy I don't think that it is a star's duty to satisfy people's curiosity. The public should use the manners their parents should have taught them and keep their nose out of other people's business. A star's job is just that--a job. They shouldn't be expected to...
