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 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...

doc_alma_jones @doc_alma_jones (822) • Philippines 19 Feb 09

abradshaw6001 If your financial situation is extremely bad it may not be the best idea to bring another member into the family. But, no one is ever truly "financially" ready to be a parent. The most important thing is if you are emotionally ready to accept the stresses that...

Funny Question. Do you take a bath everyday?

janelacson @janelacson (200) • Philippines 20 Feb 09

I am just wondering if you make sure that you take a bath daily. I know people who don't take a bath. Some of the hospitalized patients don't take a bath on a daily basis. The reason is they are too sick to take a bath. I met...

abradshaw6001 I believe that the authorities should not allow people to take in "wild" animals as pets. If the woman would have never been allowed to bring a chimp into her home to be treated as a pet, then the attack would have never happened.
