On your kid's clothing, do you look at price tag's or does value for money win?

momforwork @momforwork (161) • Philippines 24 Aug 08

In today's rising prices I often look for value for money clothing especially for growing kids. Yet with today's trends and commercial billboards streaming left and right, I sometimes have to be wittingly smart to convince them of...

bmf1976 Luckily I have a three year old--she knows nothing about designer clothes. I'd rather look at price than value when it comes to kids who are constantly growing. Why pay a bunch of money for something they may only wear once or twice? Don't get me wrong, I...

bmf1976 One dog and one cat here. I am hoping to get another dog when I move into a house. No more cats for me though!! Don't know how you do it with three of them! One day I'd like to get a tortoise or a gecko, but only once my daughter gets older and can learn to...

bmf1976 I really like reading in bed. If I have a good book and I read in bed, I'm sure to have a good night's sleep that night! Sometimes I get into ruts where I can't get into reading a book and I try to go straight to bed without reading and I have the hardest time...

This question if women only

trishasantos @trishasantos (1297) • Philippines 23 Aug 08

Are there any ways to stop menstruation? My friend has an irregular menstruation, she's bleeding for like a week now. So I wondered if there is any ways to stop it, like eating something or what.

bmf1976 I agree with Jonesy123, your friend needs to go see a doctor. It is common for women to have irregular periods when not on birth control. Birth control pills will help regulate and shorten the cycles. She would have to see a doctor to get those pills anyway....

This is a stressful time for me and my husband. His truck was broke down so we know we are not getting a check next week. This has my husband even more stressed out than ever. My oldest needs eye glasses bad and her biological is...

bmf1976 Know this: you are not a bad wife for trying to remain optimistic! The best thing for you to do is to listen to him when he vents, don't say a word, unless he asks for you to. Sometimes when we are stressed, all we really want to do is talk it out, and have...

Do you get a headache when it rains?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 22 Aug 08

Some people get sleepy when it rains or depressed. Not me, I get headaches. Guess it's all the humidity or heat. Wish the rain would bring some relief, but it doesn't. Thank goodness for Tylenol. Can't imagine how I...

Plastic bags, paper bags or something else?

djoyce71 @djoyce71 (2511) • Philippines 23 Aug 08

They said that plastic bags are wastes that are sores to landscape. It could also kill marine mammals because they mistaken plastics to be their food. During photodegradation, toxic particles contaminate soil and water, and...

bmf1976 When I shop I always get plastic bags because I reuse them for emptying out my cats litter box or picking up doggy doo. Ones that aren't used, I put in recycling, as they are recyclable. I do like the concept they are doing more and more here, and that is the...

bmf1976 I believe Firefox protects your computer better. Although I did have a hard time getting onto certain sites until I upgraded my Firefox program. I find it to be as speedy as Internet Explorer, but I feel more "safe".

When is a thing most likely to get wasted-throwing it or keep it but not use it?

iskayz @iskayz (5420) • Philippines 23 Aug 08

Hi everyone! I often do it with my old stuffs. I throw them whenever I don't use it for about a year or two and my mom always disagrees with what I'm doing. She wants me to just keep it and wait until I can use it...

bmf1976 Well, if you think you're not going to use it, then get rid of it! You only have so much space, I would guess, and things can get cluttered pretty easily if one is not careful. How about taking your stuff to a Goodwill or Salvation Army Thrift Store? They'll...

palonghorn @palonghorn (5479) • United States 22 Aug 08

bmf1976 These types of organizations do the best they can do with what they've got. They can't save every animal from every bad thing out there, it would be impossible to do! So they focus on one issue at a time. Sometimes it's better that the minks be released in a...

bmf1976 How sad. It shows you that one never knows what's around the corner for anyone. This story teaches us to appreciate what we have NOW, before it's too late. For some reason this posting reminded me of the book and movie the Notebook. It just hits the heart in a...
