AnnaMichael My parents had foster children in the house when I was growing up, and we definitely did get attached to the kids who lived with us, sometimes who lived with us for quite a while. And, it was hard when they moved out to go back to their parents or to adoptive...

AnnaMichael I had the same thing happen to me when I mentioned breastfeeding in a post once. I had to change my settings to allow mature content. That's funny that that happened to you with a recipe.

AnnaMichael One game I did recently was a "Name the baby animal game." There was a list of baby animals (dog, cat, goose, etc), and you had to see who could correctly identify the most baby equivalents (puppy, kitten, etc. - but some were pretty hard!). Another game I've...

kymommy72 @kymommy72 (588) • United States 22 Feb 08

I am named after my grandmother. I was suppose to be called Kelly or Collen, because my aunt and uncle were going to name their daughter Eva(which is my name by the way). In the end the wound up calling her Monica, so Eva was up...

AnnaMichael I was named after my great grandmother Anna. I never met her, but from pictures, she looked like a strong, self-assured woman.

AnnaMichael I usually wake up around 7AM - either from my alarm clock or my baby (a.k.a. my other alarm clock). Yesterday I got to "sleep in" until about 8:40AM, and it was great. :)

AnnaMichael I don't think I had cravings too much while I was pregnant. In fact, my husband seemed to be the one who got the cravings instead (seriously)! Sympathy symptoms, I guess. I think I just liked to eat in general. :) By the way, I heard that craving ice chips is...

AnnaMichael Don't worry - I'm sure you're doing great! The little ones do you keep you busy, though - that's for sure. I think that's great that your breastfeeding. That's the best thing for babies. I'm still exclusively nursing my almost nine month old (in addition to...

Do you see a penny and pick it up?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 28 Feb 08

I used to pick up every penny I saw as it is good luck to pick it up. At least that is what my mom used to tell me. These days I rarely bend over to pick up a penny, I guess I am just too lazy. I'll stoop for a nickel. I know a...

AnnaMichael These days, I tend to have a nickel or bigger rule. Otherwise, I guess it just doesn't seem worth the germs to pick up if it's just a dirty penny. The most money I ever found was a fifty dollar bill - way better than a penny, let me tell you. I was about 12...

Does having a pet give comfort when "home alone"?

caramello @caramello (4377) • Australia 27 Feb 08

For me it does as my cat Priscilla can sleep all day (or most of it, it seems!) but I talk to her even though she may be sleeping, and for me it feels as though someone else is actually home with me. BUT then comes the time of her...

AnnaMichael While I don't have any pets now (unless a nine month old son counts as a pet, haha), I used to find it comforting to have pets around when I would be at home alone. For instance, if I heard a strange noise in another room, I could always tell myself, oh, that...

Stephannie @stephcjh (38473) • United States 25 Feb 08

AnnaMichael I think everyone has ups and downs. Just keep up the positive attitude, and don't be afraid ask for help pr affirmation if you need it. And, during particularly stressful times, don't forget to take time out to do things for yourself that make you happy and...

AnnaMichael My dad did the Cabbage Soup Diet maybe ten years ago, and it worked great for him! I think it was pretty much the same formula as the diet you're referring to. And, I enjoyed the soup, though I wasn't following the diet. Remember, it'll work even better if...
