Who Is It?

leeesa @leeesa (884) • United States 15 May 08

Who is the most interesting person you have ever met? For me, it was my 3rd grade teacher, Miss Cook. She was a matronly lady who had never married. Instead, she traveled the world and brought back interesting souvenirs to...

AnnikaM Would have to be a coworker from another country. He had to walk for miles and miles to get to a part of his country that would allow him a way to the US. His greatest memory was when he got a bicycle. His stories made me feel shame for the greediness here in...

David vs. David

leeesa @leeesa (884) • United States 15 May 08

I'm sure there are already a ton of similar topics, but now that we're down to the final two American Idol contestants, which David do you think will win? Which David do you want to win? I think David C deserves to win as the...

Kids or no kids?

leeesa @leeesa (884) • United States 18 May 08

Parents, if you could do it all over again, would you still decide to have kids? I'm asking because my daughter is out of the country for several weeks (with her dad), so I'm getting an extended taste at what it would be like...

AnnikaM That's a good question and hard to answer if you don't have kids. I think it depends on the person, because I know a few women who never had kids and now they are too old. One friends regrets it terribly and the other doesn't. Stay busy and she'll be back...

Anyone from or near Troy Michigan?

leeesa @leeesa (884) • United States 29 Jan 08

I'm going there on a business trip soon and am wondering what the weather is like so I know how to pack. Is it as cold there as it is in Minnesota? If you are familiar with Troy, can you recommend any good restaurants? Thanks in...

AnnikaM I agree with bearhugs that love demands nothing or whatever, but I see your point too! I don't think your poem was meant as a selfish thing. I do believe that love can die if it isn't nurtured.

The reason it takes women so long in the bathroom

leeesa @leeesa (884) • United States 29 Mar 08

When you have to visit a public toilet, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the cubicle doors. Every cubicle is occupied. Finally, a door...

AnnikaM lol...after reading that, I think I'll make sure I take care of my business before I go out and I definitely won't drink anything so I don't have to visit any disgusting rest room!

I Saved Today by Being Thrifty.

leeesa @leeesa (884) • United States 24 Feb 08

I bought my 6 year old a desk yesterday, figuring her little Dora table that she's had since she was 2 was getting a bit small for her. Today I was looking at the desk and it seemed so plain so I decided get her a lamp too. I...

AnnikaM That was a great idea! You are very talented! I'm afraid I'm too lazy to put any time or even effort into thinking of something like that. I should hire you!

Does (or did) your child have a "blankie"?

leeesa @leeesa (884) • United States 19 May 07

My daughter is going on 6 and has a special baby blanket that my mom made before she was born. She doesn't carry it everywhere she goes, but she won't go to sleep without it. Should I let her continue this until she decides she...

AnnikaM If we all were to admit it, we all have at least one item that could be considered our "security blanket". If we aren't willing to part with them, why should she part with hers? I don't see any harm at all.

How often do you say "I love you" to your partner?

NCgirl @NCgirl (487) • Philippines 21 Mar 08

Just thought of asking, since me and my husband always say I love you to each other all the time. Like after we talk over the phone, and a number of times within a day. Sometimes we're just watching tv, and one would say I love...

AnnikaM We say it every day, especially before we are leaving apart from one another because you never know if it's the last time we'll see each other. Also, before bed. I know it's old fashioned, but we decided to follow the rule that we will never go to bed angry at...

AnnikaM I'm going to provide a safe answer by saying they are equally important. But the love should be there first, because money can disappear as easily as it is made. If love is the foundation, then that will always remain.

If your husband wanted you to get a boob job would you?

crazed_moma @crazed_moma (1054) • United States 17 Mar 08

I'm seriously considering.... They're fine in a bra but kinda droopy with out. I'm happy with the size so I guess it's more of a lift than an augmentation. So if your husband/boyfriend wanted you to enhance a part of your body...

AnnikaM Well I've considered it already, so if he wanted to pay for it, sure! Why not! I wouldn't do a Pamela Anderson though. I'd just go up one size to mainly add back firmness lost after having kids.
