abradshaw6001 I do not turn on my lights unless I really have to use them. I also wash in cold water, unless my kids have been sick and then I use hot to get rid of more germs. I haven't done the standby thing, but maybe I will look into it. Just using cold water when...

abradshaw6001 I am actually almost 27 weeks pregnant and I have had the experience of people touching my pregnant belly. If it is someone that I am close to, it doesn't bother me at all. But, if I am out in town and someone comes up and just starts touching it, I think it...

abradshaw6001 Thanks for the comment! It makes me feel better that I am not alone. When you mentioned your sister-in-law that made me think of my husband's sister. To be honest it is the same way on his side of the family too. I am not asking for anyone to watch my kids...

My immediate family have all gone on to better places. I've made it through their birthdays and holidays pretty well... until today. I only had one sibling, my sister. When we were young, we'd fight like cats and dogs! She...

I was reading a post where a young girl who had a cell phone wanted a newer released cell phone. The young girl got mad because the family couldn't afford to buy it. I've noticed for a long time the many young people who have...

abradshaw6001 I believe in today's society children are way too spoiled! A lot of it is to blame on the parents because they are the authority over their children. Now you see more parents not wanting to discipline their children and instead want to be their best friend. I...

I didn't believe the news weather man, but he was right this time. The last time he was absolutely incorrect though and had a lot of egg on his face as a result. So my children were very excited that they made a big fuss about it....

Yay Me! I weighed this morning and I've now lost 24 pounds in 6 weeks. So, on average that's about 4 pounds a week. I've been watching my calorie intake and exercising and it is totally paying off. I'm so excited about losing this...

abradshaw6001 That is GREAT!! You will completely fall in love with the YMCA. I may actually look into joining them when this little boy arrives around the end of May. It is also really good that you are setting goals. I would set goals of only 5 pounds at a time and then...

abradshaw6001 I believe there would be a more negative affect if they didn't find out the gender of the child and waited. Each person wants to have a healthy child, but most usually desire a boy or a girl. If they desire a boy and wait to find out and it is a girl their...

abradshaw6001 Thanks for the reply. I will have to look into that product. We only own a hamster and so far she hasn't broke out with him. I pray that she does grow out of this one day.
