I have always been a terrible sleeper. I am pretty sure it is because I dream ALL NIGHT and I never fall into a real good sleep. When I was a little girl my mom used a spray bottle full of water in my room to "keep the monsters...

Tambunan THe reason that I know my husband is from the Lord is because I prayed for him. I asked God to help me to guard my heart, and not to allow me to have any real feelings for anyone who was not the "right one" for me. The reason being that I did not want to give...

Tambunan Hi Apples99. I guess first you have to decide what LOVE means to you. If you are just looking for a warm feeling inside, or that romantic electricity that shoots through your body when your lover touches you, then you can probably find it just about anywhere....

Tambunan The_Lamb_Lies_Down, Thank you for your clarification. fifileigh, It must sound stupid if you've never been pregnant, or have never heard of the risks. But I guarantee, if you'd ever lost a baby you would totally understand. I agree that pets are a part of...

Tambunan I agree, we have to weigh our decisions. I know there are people who will disagree, but to me, the life of my child is of significantly greater value than that of my cat.

Tambunan Raineyes, You may change your mind later in your life. I remember feeling like that when I was 19 too. But when you fall in love, truly in love, you may just find that you really want to make a baby with that person, so that you can have the joy of seeing...

Tambunan Ravenladyj, I'm relieved that we won't have to worry about the cat jumping into the crib. The cat-less house does feel a bit lonely, but much safer in the circumstances. We are thinking about getting another cat after our son is big enough and not so fragile....

Tambunan Hi Irishidid, I'm glad to hear you were able to keep your cats thru your pregnancies. It isn't so easy here. We can get cat litter in special stores, but it is very very expensive. Our cat just "went" outside, and so was not as clean and safe-feeling as I...

Tambunan If the joints in your hands and wrists are loose, you can strengthen them by these exercises: 1) gently squeeze together the two bones (tibula and fibula?) in your lower arm and then slowly release. This should not be painful, so if it is you are squeezing...

What do you do when "pests" invade your house? I am constantly faced with several species of ants, roaches, rats, snakes... you name it, we've got it here in the East Indies. So what do you do? Shoo them out? Poison? Set traps?...

Tambunan Allknowing, We try not to kill the snakes either. The Javanese say that if you put salt in front of your door they wont come in... but they also say that if if you throw salt on a snake it turns into ashes, so I'm not to sure I believe it. :-)
