I was thinking a lot yesterday and i wanted to know what everyone would prefer, to be rich but not happy or to be poor but happy. Please tell me your take on the issue.

JimmiesMommy I would prefer to be exactly the way I am if those are the only other options. I am not rich but I am not poor, either. I am able to give my daughter a nice, warm home, plenty of food, clothing as needed, etc.

Please Help Me Name This Salad Dressing!

WhiteDoveLost @WhiteDoveLost (139) • United States 22 Feb 08

JimmiesMommy It sounds like it is oriental duck sauce. You can find it in the etnic aisle of any major grocery store. If that doesn't taste like it, go back to the restaurant and ask for the name of the dressing. Good luck :)

JimmiesMommy When I was 18, I would have cried too. Now that I'm 33, I guarantee would one of us would leave the store forever sobbing and it sure the heck wouldn't be ME. You are going to have to stand up to him or you'll always be miserable around him.

JimmiesMommy My birth name is Jessica Elizabeth. Honestly? I **LOVE** it! I was the only Jessica in my entire school (high school graduating class had 500.... in all 4 grade levels, we had 1900 students total) and I think it's a very pretty name. I still love it today.

JimmiesMommy It's good that he's more interested in friends & being active than TV. Too many kids nowadays live in front of the TV (IMO).

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 26 Feb 08

JimmiesMommy I don't think throwing our youth away & ignoring them teaches them to be law abiding citizens. I think it reinforces how they already feel - that nobody, not even their own family sometimes - gives a darn about them or what they do. I think some of these...

JimmiesMommy I would love to send you a care package. My 2 year old enjoys "coloring" and sending her pictures to the soldier or whoever we happen to be sending a package to. I like teaching her that even if you're not wealthy, it doesn't take much to help others. She...
