Aprilfreelance Someone else's impatience is not worth my life, or the life of my son. It would stupid to run a red light just because someone is honking their horn.

My little kid gets a rash when she drinks orange juice.

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 15 Aug 07

Ever since my daughter was a baby, she hasn't been able to drink orange juice without side effects. Every time she drinks orange juice she gets little bumps next to her mouth. They look like small ant bites. I'm not sure what type...

My mom is obsessed with my weight

ifinallyfoundmybaby @ifinallyfoundmybaby (1742) • Philippines 29 Jul 07

My mom is obsessed with weight. She's always telling me I could lose 10 pounds. I know I am not fat, but I'm always hearing about how unhealthy I look, and my mom is always talking about how fat she is. It bugs me, and when I tell...

Aprilfreelance Don't let your mother's obsession bring you down. As long as you are within a medically healthy weight, that is all that matters. Too many mothers are doing this to their daughters; if your doctor says you are okay, your mother's neuroses is her own.

AnnikaHensen @AnnikaHensen (87) • United States 27 Jul 07

1 response

Aprilfreelance It sounds like she is going through an insecure time and it is easier to follow you than put herself out in the world alone. Has she recently had a break-up, or lost a good friend, or had someone make fun of her and put her down? Whatever her reasons, you can...

Pope Benedict XVI

sneese @sneese (95) • United States 26 Jul 07

I was wondering what others thought of Pope Benedict. I admit I loved John Paul II. So adjusting to this new pontiff has not been easy. I didn't want him to get elected at all. But I do agree with his decision to allow more use of...

1 response

Aprilfreelance Pope Benedict appears to be espousing the same "traditions" that led to the Inquisitions and that the Apostle Paul fought against during his ministry. This current pope is a very dangerous man and could very likely destroy the Catholic Church by creating a...

Aprilfreelance The word "I" (referring to yourself) is always capitalized, rather than "i". Use the word "a" as in "a ball" when the word following it begins with a consonant sound. Use the word "an" as in "an ocean" when the word following it begins with a vowel...

Aprilfreelance The grammar is somewhat improved. In English, only people or animals are male or female (him or her, he or she). Objects, plants, and anything else are referred to as it. I will look again and see what other suggestions I can make.
