My best friend's husband propositioned me this morning???

Bee1955 @Bee1955 (3882) • United States 21 Feb 07

I was at the hospital getting some tests. I saw him and said hello in the waiting room. We were alone and he came over and we chatted, Then he whispered to me he always liked me and wanted to know if we could "meet" somewhere...

alluravoice You should definately tell the friend, because sooner or later she's gonna find out what happened. And if you tell her upfront, then you shouldn't become the "bad guy" in the situation. However, use tact when telling her, don't just blurt it out. Invite her...

Getting ripped off?

Sawsen @Sawsen (793) • United States 21 Feb 07

I bought a little quilt for my daughter for $50 and I paid an additional $10 for her name to be engraved on it. Today I was checking that same store online, and that same quilt that I bought is now only $15.00!! It's so upsetting....

alluravoice I would call the home office and talk to them about it. I have found through being a cust svc rep that if people make a big enough noise, they tend to get what they want.

Lush: Do you stash or do you buy as you need and use fresh?

hezoid @hezoid (2144) 21 Feb 07

I've noticed there are quite a few Lush fans on here, and being a Lush addict myself i thought i'd ask you all whether you tend to stash a hoard of Lush products or if you tend to buy what you need as and when you need it so that...

alluravoice I find that I do a bit of both. I'm new to Lush, so I have just started, but try not to use it *too* many times during the week. I usually use a shower gel a couple of times a week and take a couple of bubble baths as well. For a newbie, I'm pretty proud of my...

Surrogacy - would you have a baby for someone else?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 12 Feb 07

In the past year, I have had two friends who have been touched by the subject of surrogate babies. One friend (I started a thread about her some while back), is giving birth to a baby for her brother. And another friend of mine,...

alluravoice I have a friend who recently did this for a couple of strangers. It was facinating to watch. This is a subject that I have done a lot of thinking over, because I can't have children of my own. The cost for me, however, is prohibitive. I think that those...

yanple @yanple (164) • Philippines 12 Feb 07

alluravoice I've always wanted a baby girl, because I am not sure how I would raise a boy as he grew older, as I only had a sister who died young. But honestly, I'd take a boy as well. Infertility sucks.

Do We Have Any Winnie The Pooh Fans Here?

Darkwing @Darkwing (21583) 12 Feb 07

A. A. Milne, who wrote Winnie the Pooh, set his stories in woodland, in a place called Hartfield, which is in East Sussex. I live in West Sussex and Hartfield is not too far away, so my grandchildren often ask to go over to Pooh...

alluravoice It's definately an interesting theory. What motivation would he have for doing so? Also, has the paternity of the daughter been determined as of yet? Who has temporary custody of the child? If she was the sole beneficiary, and Howard is the father, then...

Would you adopt?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 7 Feb 07

I'd love to adopt children. To think that so many are in orphanages who need a home and so many people are just going around having babies freely makes me angry. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with wanting your own...

alluravoice Do not pay. This is not a legitimate job, especially with all of the typing mistakes. You should never have to pay to begin a job, even one from home, if it is legit. Good Luck.
