froggieslover @froggieslover (3069) • United States 31 Jul 09

Riptide Choosing a best response can be hard. Depending on the topic, I look for relevance and smarts or humor and wittiness and creativity. I hate zeroing in on one person as well and wish I could give more then one best response out lol.

Riptide Curling up in a quiet corner with a good book and a cup of tea or coffee helps me relax. Working on a nice puzzle. Laying in bed and watching a good movie. Also, listening to the rain when it rains.

Riptide It would probably be noisy with all those kids running around lol. I would probably have to roll hubbies tongue back into his mouth daily, since Angelina Jolie is his favorite actress. But since I like Brad Pitt, we would both be in hog heaven LMAO.

'Supposed to' have respect? (Abuse of power)

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 25 Jul 09
