Surrogacy - would you have a baby for someone else?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 12 Feb 07

In the past year, I have had two friends who have been touched by the subject of surrogate babies. One friend (I started a thread about her some while back), is giving birth to a baby for her brother. And another friend of mine,...

Hockey_85 I wouldn't do this, no matter what the circumstances were. I have my own child, and I had a ton of things go wrong right up till the c-section. Maybe if I knew nothing would go wrong, and I wouldn't have to do a ton of the stuff that I did... I would consider...

List 10 things that make you happy, that do NOT involve money. Can you do it??

Pixiegrl25 @Pixiegrl25 (143) • United States 5 Feb 07

And be specific - "My family" is too general. Some families don't make each other happy:) Here's my own list: 1. A phone call from my mom when she wants to vent to me about her day. It makes me feel valued by my mom, and an...

Hockey_85 1. Hearing from someone who I haven't in a while, whether it be by mail, email, telephone, or IM. 2. Seeing my daughter smile when you call her a butthead and make goofy faces at her. 3. Getting random phone calls, with no real reason. Just to talk. 4....

Hockey_85 I shave about every other day as well, or when I need to. I can usually get a good three days without shaving, but I figure I'm already in the shower.. so why not just get it all done.

How do you shave?

ukchriss @ukchriss (2097) 5 Feb 07

The history of shaving is a bloody one. Until the introduction of the straight razor, the ancients used shaving knives, and before that, various sharp shells, flint, and rocks. We see pictures of ancient Egyptians, Greeks and...

Hockey_85 I use a regular razor, I've found that the hair removing creams irritate my skin. I use baby oil to shave with, and I've convinced a lot of others to start. I perfer baby oil over shaving cream anyday.

Hockey_85 The parents of the teenagers should back off a bit, the harm has already been done. As for them both being dominant and standing to their grounds, they're gonna have to get over it. I'm a teen parent, I know how that goes. And this girl, after she has her...

Hockey_85 I don't smoke, I think it's beyond disgusting. However, both of my parents smoke, and have for quite sometime. I don't really see them quitting anytime soon, which sucks, but hey it's their choice. They don't like when I refer to their cigarettes as cancer...

Hockey_85 Wow, no you weren't out of line at all. It's lip balm. Christ, it's not like you gave her black lipstick and told her to wear it to her school. Sisters overreact about anything, trust me. But she didn't have the right to dispose of it, it should have been...

Hockey_85 That's called an Industrial. I really don't see why you wouldn't let her, but I myself have piercings, so I may be bias. Look at it this way, at least she asked you first. And if you do say no, when she turns 18, she can sign for herself and most likely...

pebbles_cubbie @pebbles_cubbie (3789) • United States 26 Jan 07

Hockey_85 I think the government is taking it's power too far. It's a ridiculous idea to ban something that you choose to do. They're not going to be able to stop people from getting tattoos or piercings, it's impossible. People are always going to find a way to do it,...

Dried Fruit - Great for Snacking and for Cooking

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 5 Feb 07

I love dried fruit. When you need a quick pick me up, grab a handful of raisins or dried cranberries. They are flavorful and loaded with nutrition. I always try to keep a variety of dried fruit in my pantry. Apricots, dates,...

Hockey_85 I love dried cranberries. I've had dried bananas, but I wasn't really too fond of them. Dried pineapples aren't too bad either, either are oranges. I just eat them, as snacks. I don't cook much, so I don't have any recipes for them.

Does your cat like water?

quispy @quispy (572) • United States 2 Feb 07

I have a 7 year old cat that truly enjoys the water. When you are done showering, she will hop into the tub and roll around in it. She insists on going out if it is raining and rolling around on the deck. Last year, after we...

Hockey_85 I have two cats, and they're both different. Ziggy - He hates water, the sound of water makes him freak out. Bing - He loves to get a bath, he can often be found lounging in the bath tub. He will go outside through the doggie door, and walk in the rain.

Hockey_85 I don't think you have to be blood to be a parent. I just think if you care for a child, show him or her love and care you could be considered a parent. Being there to offer advice, and support. Loving a child unconditionally. Being there when no one else is,...
