Well folks, today is Inauguration Day, and I am feeling so hopeful for our future. Watching the news this morning, I was moved to see the people of every creed, race, age group and background swarming the 2 mile stretch of the...

barrettsbabygirl Nobody said that "warm fuzzy feelings" would fix all of the problems facing our country, but it is important for the citizens of this nation to take more than a sarcastic interest in our government. It is not just another inauguration; it is an historical...

Okay, so maybe this should be in gaming or something, but it is actually funny.. My mom bought the game Rock Band for our family as an early Christmas gift. She thought that it might be a fun addition to our family game night...

barrettsbabygirl We are having a blast with it. We have played it for hours and hours, too. I love that it is something we can all do together. It is so much fun! My fingers are so sore from playing the guitar, and I am also on the verge of losing my voice from singing. My...

If our government stays on the same path they are on now I am afraid we are in for some hard times. Hoover tried this bail out stuff at the beginning of the last depression and it didn't work. The only thing that brought us out of...

barrettsbabygirl I do not think you are a witch, but I do believe in Karma-what goes around comes around. People who do bad things to others get bad things done to them in return. My mother has a similar problem. If she says out loud that she wishes someone would die or get...

What are your views on this? I'm in an interracial relationship right now and have been for the past year and a half. I'm filipio and my boyfriend is African American. I don't think it's wrong as long as you love the person.:)

barrettsbabygirl What does race have to do with it? As long as you have love, mutual respet, trust, good communication, compatibility and all of the rest of it that is all that is important. I am not involved in an interracial relationship, and I have never been in one. The...

barrettsbabygirl So you are for the "Spread the wealth" theory? I also do not think that it is right for 1% of the population to hold over 50% of the wealth in this country, but that is not the real problem. I think that if they have the most money then they should pay the...

barrettsbabygirl Personally, I limit how much television my kids watch ALL the time. They get two hours of TV, computer or video games per day, except on the weekends when it goes to three hours. We read books, do arts & crafts, cook, and all sorts of other things together...

barrettsbabygirl That is just politics. Every politician who runs for president belittles, criticizes and "mudslings" about their opponents. Unfortunately, we stray far from the real issues and concentrate on the barrage of attack ads and bickering between the candidates....

barrettsbabygirl I am a mother of four, and every pregnancy is different. I am a high-risk pregnancy because I am diabetic and anemic. Because I was only 18 when I had my first child (and because of the diabetes and anemia) I was restricted to mostly bed rest and not allowed...
