Cell phones....do they rule your lives?

pergammano @pergammano (7682) • Canada 30 Jan 09

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how so many people let a little small box rule their lives! I am shocked at how the population has a cell phone glued to their ear! Do they not have a life? Is that little box, so...

Dustysgal325 I totally understand where you're coming from with this cell phone stuff. I was driving home from a friend's house yesterday and I saw a little girl (she was probably no more than 10 years old) getting off the bus at the stop in her neighborhood. As soon as...

At what age did you kids (or you) start to sleep on their own beds/rooms?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 28 Jan 09

Hi guys! I'm just curious, at what age were you able to sleep on your own? Similarly (for those who have kids) at what age did they start sleeping on their own without fuss? What do you think is the 'right' age for it? Plus,...

Dustysgal325 With my daughter, we used a co-sleeper by the bed until she was old enough to find her pacifier and put it back her mouth by herself in the middle of the night. I think she was about 6 months old. She never really slept in the bed with us because she's a...

Would you be a first responder in your pajamas?

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 28 Jan 09

A little bit ago I was sitting here typing away on Mylot when I heard a loud BOOM! It was loud enough to bring my daughter nextdoor out front, too. Since we live in a small neighborhood in a country setting there's not a lot of...

Dustysgal325 Personally, I would help anyway that I could. I'm an RN and if it were me in trouble and someone else was capable of helping, I would want them to. I would call 911 first, but you sound like me, I live out in the country. We only have a volunteer fire...

Do you like your job?

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 27 Jan 09

I mean really? Do you like your job or do you just tolerate what you do? Is it hard for you to get motivated and go everyday? I really do like my job. Oh sure, there are times when I have bad days and times that I get frustrated,...

Dustysgal325 First, I should start off by saying that I'm very grateful to have the job that I have during these hard economic times. I'm an RN at a hospital near my hometown. I love my job for the most part, but I hate actually waking up and getting myself together to go...

Ok my wondeful husband is a truck driver. He is gone most of the month. His mom is just getting on my last nerve!!! She had him feeling bad about working! Hello earth to you! Does she not realize that jobs are scarce? He is...

Dustysgal325 It sounds to me that she's using your kids to make him feel bad because she misses not being able to see him. She's probably upset, too, that he didn't spend more time with her when he was home from driving. But, she needs to understand that him spending time...

How do you feel about your mother-in-law and the way she is with your children?

Dustysgal325 @Dustysgal325 (19) • United States 27 Jan 09

Don't get me wrong, I love my mother-in-law. But it seems that ever since we had our daughter last year, I've noticed some changes in her. For example, she raised 4 boys, but when she would want to hold my daughter, it was like...

Dustysgal325 I try to trust her, but I know she has refused to do some things that I ask when she watches my daughter. For example, after rocking her, she needs to be put down in her crib to sleep, not be held all day. My MIL would say, "I can't stand to lay her down, so I...

My FIL has been doing nothing but stressing us out these past couple days. Yesterday he called to DEMAND to borrow our car, which hubby allowed against my wishes. Since FIL returned it with no gas and a broken door, hubby refused...

Dustysgal325 I totally understand where you're coming from! My in-laws drive me and my husband insane a lot. My FIL just thinks he can come and do whatever he wants at our house because we built our house on an acre of their land that they GAVE to us! They are in so much...

Can you Cook?

lorelei1622 @lorelei1622 (329) • United States 27 Jan 09

Are you the better cook or is your partner/spouse? Before we even moved in together, my husband was warned by my family that I couldn't cook, not even water or something out of a can. He thought at first they were kidding, but...

25 responses

Dustysgal325 I do ALL the cooking for our family. I'm sure my husband could cook if he needed to, but I don't think he knows how to cook many different dishes. Also, he works 5 days and week and I only work two, so I'm usually the only one who cooks dinner. Of course, I...

Interracial Relationships

kasouyumi @kasouyumi (165) • United States 26 Jan 09

I'm proud of my ethnicity, but ever since I was a middle schooler I wasn't intimately interested in members of my own race. I dunno, I just was curious about other groups of people. My mother didn't approve of it, she said that it...

Dustysgal325 I really don't see why people make such a huge deal about interracial relationships. For example, if you were a parent of a Caucasian girl, would you rather her be in a relationship with a white guy even if he was horrible to her? Instead of be in a...

Do you HAVE ALLERGY?

smooch091784 @smooch091784 (973) • Philippines 27 Jan 09

I'm lucky enough that I could eat almost anything I want. Seafood, nuts and such. However, as much as almost anything I could eat, is as much as not all fancy jewelries and accessories I couldn't wear. And as a girl, you know the...

Dustysgal325 I'm lucky to not be allergic to any kind of foods (that I know of, anyways). I do have an allergy to any jewelry that's not gold or platinum. I guess it's because I have very sensitive skin. It kind of stinks, because I can't buy the cutesy little earrings and...

How many hours of sleep do you personally require to be well rested?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 26 Jan 09

I know that we do not always get the amount we need. And I also know that we do not all require the same amount. I am simply wondering about your requirement for sleep. How many hours would that be? Are you able to get enough?...

Dustysgal325 I can usually function on about 6 hours of sleep. I work 12 hour days, so I need adequate rest. On days that I'm off, I can usually get in about 7-9 hours. If I get too much sleep, I feel really crappy, though. Kind of like a hangover feeling, I guess.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

mummyofthree @mummyofthree (2715) 26 Jan 09

I'm not sure where it came from, but my son asked me today what I would choose. I think if I could only eat one thing it would have to be lasagna. That's my favourite! I originally said Roast beef with all the trimmings but...

Dustysgal325 I would have to choose Chinese, I love it! There's this little "Mom and Pop" Chinese restaurant in the town nearest to us and I don't think I could every get tired of their food! If I had to choose a specific food, it would have to be pork green beans. It's so...

Are you comfortable in telling your moms and dads: "I love you." ?

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 26 Jan 09

I've never been really close with both of my parents, but sometimes I do tell them I love them. I find it a bit hard sometimes because it may sound cheesy or insincere, but when I tell them that I love them, they'll always reply...

Dustysgal325 I have never felt uncomfortable telling my Mom that I love her. We're very close. My father, however, is another story. He wasn't a very good father and to this day we don't have a good relationship. We're mostly just polite to each other because my great aunt...
