My daughter was seven at the time and I was single. We were in the drugstore and she was on this kick about wanting to be a big sister. I explained to her that I would like to meet somone and fall a love and get married first....

absadoolly Well, with 5 kids I could think of quite a few, but probably the most embarrassing involves my youngest. I actually won a humour writing competition with my story of this! My son is 10 now, this happened when he was 5. We were out shopping and while I was...

too old for baby?

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 3 Mar 07

how old is too old for having a baby? how do you come up with your ideal "cut off" age? for me it used to be 35 because that's when the risk of birth defects rises dramatically. now i had this last baby when i was 39 and he's...

absadoolly I had my first at almost 23, my second at 26, my third at 28, my fourth at 38 and my fifth at almost 43. When I was given the preliminary test for the risk of Down's Syndrome (at the age of 42) I was told my risk was so low it wasn't worth bothering with the...

absadoolly I wouldn't marry someone I didn't love. I don't really believe in marriage anyway, it's a man-made institution. The important thing is whether you love each other enough to want to be together, a piece of paper is neither here nor there. Society may make...

Can you survive on 40 min of sleep a day?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 2 Mar 07

Yesterday I went to bed at 6am. I tried hard to sleep but my mind was undergoing a power overload and I was turning and tossing till I finally manage to fall asleep at 10am. 40 min later at 10.40am, I was suddenly woken up...

absadoolly The majority of people can't, no. There are odd cases of people who can, but they have rare medical conditions. What you actually experienced was a "power nap" or "cat nap". As long as you don't go beyond a certain level of sleep, this serves to mimic at least...

absadoolly I have a lousy diet and I don't take them. I've often bought them, but never remembered to take them! I have just started taking various homeopathic supplements, though. Some of these (namely growth hormone & DHEA) also have a 'contradictory press', but I'm...

Can people who commit suicide go to Heaven?

eeseharden @eeseharden (603) • United States 26 Feb 07

This question hits very close to home for me and I want to find out how some of you understand this to be. My great uncle recently shot himself after suffering for the past 3 years with cancer. He left a note to my great aunt...

absadoolly I am an atheist and I find this question very sad. Your uncle did something out of LOVE - love for his wife. How can that be wrong? If your god were to condemn him because of that - well, what sort of god is that, exactly? At the end of the day, your Uncle's...

absadoolly Here in the UK, the larger American portions at McDonald's don't exist. Our large is your small, or maybe medium, not sure. American obesity is well-documented over here, we have quite a few tv programmes about it. It's affecting children particularly badly,...

Can you find that Special Someone on the Internet?

gypsylady28 @gypsylady28 (945) • United States 19 Feb 07

I've been with my husband now for 8 years. And we met in a Yahoo chat room almost 8 1/2 yrs. ago. I will hear people talking about internet relationships, and some of it is good and bad. I wasn't looking for a relationship in the...

absadoolly You can meet them anywhere. Who's to say your 'special someone' lives round the corner? What if they live at the other side of the world? Without the Internet, your chance of meeting them would be pretty slim. When you meet someone on the Internet, the...

absadoolly A love bite is usually given on the neck, or other fleshy areas such as the breast. It is caused by sucking the skin (with or without using the teeth to nip it slightly) until the blood comes to the surface, which leaves a mark on the skin which lasts several...

absadoolly I wasn't, but my parents were. This year would have been their 55th wedding anniversary, but sadly my father died the day after their anniversary 16 years ago. It's always a sad time for my mother, because 3 days after his death is her birthday. She's 80 on...

Moms: how long did you berastfeed your babies?

awonderfullife @awonderfullife (2893) • United States 14 Feb 07

I have a friend who breastfed her son until he was 4 years old. 4 YEARS OLD! You have to understand, that is VERY unusual here in the United States! I realize it was mainly a comfort thing for her kid, he was getting nutrition...

absadoolly I breastfed all five of my children. My fourth child (second daughter) was fed the longest, until she was 3 1/2 (years), when I finally put a stop to it as I wanted another baby and didn't feel I could cope with both at the age of 42. It had become little more...

How do you disciplin a 15 month old?

blog4life @blog4life (30) • United States 13 Feb 07

My son is very smart but when it comes to listening when I say NO, he just doesn't! He is constantly getting into things he's not suppose to be getting into. I smack his hand and say no. He just smiles and walks away and gets into...

absadoolly I found with my five when they were toddlers that the best way to deal with these things was to distract them with something else. The most important thing is not to appear to be rewarding bad behaviour, as this can create a whole lot of new problems.

Writers Don't Need Talent !

PinchMe @PinchMe (193) • Canada 11 Feb 07

Do you really need talent to be a writer ? Now here me out on this one. Think about those who write letters. It doesn't take skill or sever studies to know how to pour your heart into a letter. Yet we do it so naturally. We...

absadoolly I think maybe you are confusing the term "writer" with "published writer". Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how good the content of a piece is, if the spelling, grammar and punctuation isn't up to par, it won't even be read, let alone published. Editors and...
