Kids and email

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 25 Jan 13

My 6 year old wants his own email address. I am not sure it's a good idea. I was thinking that with supervision and only giving his email address to family and close friends, maybe it would be a good learning experience for him....

Need something good to read

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 25 Jan 13

I have gone through all of the books I've had forever, and finally read them all. Now I'm looking for something new to read. I generally like Stephen King, Nicholas Sparks, and lots of stuff in between. Have you read any good...

Where'd it go?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 25 Jan 13

So, it's been quite a while since I've logged in to mylot, and the $7+ I remember having is gone. How long do you have to be gone for them to take it, and is there any way to get it back? Plus, now you have to click through all...

to work or not to work

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 10 Sep 11

I have been struggling with this for a long time. I stayed home with my son for 3 years, then went back to work. Now he is 5 and in kindergarten, and I see how difficult it is for him. He goes to daycare before and after school,...

Refreezing foods

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 21 Jun 10

Ok, I know that since the beginning of time I have been told that once a frozen food is thawed it cannot be refrozen. My question is-- Why? What happens to it? Does this go for all foods, or just uncooked meats? Any answers?

Vacation

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 13 Apr 10

How often do you go on vacation? I am going on vacation with my family next week. I am looking forward to going, since it is the first one in at least 2 years. We usually don't take a whole week. We would rather go for 2 or 3...

I was a stay at home mom for almost 4 years. A couple of months ago I went back to work, part time. It has been a difficult adjustment. I miss being with my son all the time. I miss having the time to cook dinner every day. I miss...

I'm cranky today

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 8 Nov 09

And I don't know why. There's nothing specific wrong. I feel like it's been a productive day, weekend actually. Things overall are going well. But for some reason I have little patience today, I get angry easily and am just...

Tips for saving

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 8 Nov 09

I usually consider myself pretty good at finding ways to cut costs and save, but lately it seems like it's just not enough. I already have called my utility companies to reduce those bills, have some money direct deposited to my...

Does anyone use this site? Is it a pain to cancel before the trial membership is over? Is the information accurate? Helpful? I'm wondering if I should even bother or just pay for my credit score. I know you can get a credit report...

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 19 Jun 09

And I was so excited. I received the email 2 days ago. I was very glad to make a sale. But I have not received payment yet (thru paypal). I checked the buyer's feedback, and all but one were good. The negative one said 'had to...

I get frustrated

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 8 Jun 09

when trying to teach my son what is right, when there are so many mixed messages in the media and all around us. Even things as simple as grammar. My son has started asking 'Where are we at?' I wondered where he learned that,...

For those who sell their crafts...

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 15 May 09

at craft fairs and on sites like Etsy, do you do it on the books? Are you an actual business and collect sales tax? Is it ok to sell your things if you are not on the books? How do you do it?

The hardest part of interviewing for jobs

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 9 Apr 09

The hardest part for me, besides waiting for an answer afterward, is what questions to ask of the interviewer. I know it is good to have questions to ask, but I can never think of any. So, what questions would you ask, for...

Should I call... or wait?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 6 Apr 09

I had a job interview last week, on Wednesday. I was told they have other candidates to interview, but I would get an answer either way 'very soon.' I am so anxious and can't stand waiting, but I don't want to seem pushy. Should I...

Talking on the phone

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 31 Mar 09

My 2 1/2 year old loves to talk on the phone. Any time I'm on the phone he wants to talk. Most of the time that's not a big deal, like if it is my husband or my mother. But when I am on the phone with, say, the doctor's office or...

What kind of thermometer do you use?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 17 Mar 09

My son, 2 1/2, hates to have his temperature taken. It is impossible to get him to sit still long enough. I use a digital thermometer under his arm, because it is the only way I can hold him since it takes so long. I tried an...
