This is the scurge of the 21st century! Cold calling to sell you insurance or to sell you a new mobile phone or to give you a free kitchen. All you have to do is answer a few questions!!!! How do you deal with this? I have...

bobbinbeck I've sometimes told these companies, on the rare occasion I answer, that I need their address because I'm going to send a bill for using my equipment and charge $25 per hour for my time. That stops them in their tracks. Another time, they called me before...

Today it is mother's day, and I just wonder how would you celebrate with your mother. Do you already got her a gift, or would you take her out and treat her a great meal for Mother's day? My mother was not with me, and I wish that...

bobbinbeck We went to my mom's house. We called our grandmothers. We also had a turkey dinner, went to church, and enjoyed each other's company. I gave her some Dove Chocolate, since that is one of her favorites.

bobbinbeck I felt like I was in love when I wanted to spend time with the person I married. I didn't feel like it was the same as a fairy tale. In the beginning, it was kind of like a dream. A few months after marriage, reality did set in and we had to make choices that...

bobbinbeck I've heard about the dangers of lap tops for men before. This is the first time I heard about problems for women. My old Dell laptop never got hot, but the Toshiba I use now does. That really surprised me. I think that it's overheated a few times and...

Christianity Today conducted a poll on gender rolls within the family. The findings concerning this are: 89% agreed that God made men and women equal in value and personhood, but different in their roles within the family....

bobbinbeck I'm glad we have different roles. I think it's more efficient. I know that some people think that a woman should do all that a man can do because they can and visa versa (to a point, of course, since a man can't bare children and most women I know can't carry...

I heard on the news that Grey's Anatomy musical episode had far higher ratings than their usual episodes and that kind of stunned me. I thought this episode was far more focused on the singing than the storyline and I usually love...

bobbinbeck Sorry, I only got to see bits and pieces of the show this week. Perhaps, people watched it because they wanted to see how singing would fit in with this show, who could sing, and just plain curiosity. I wish I would have had more time to see it, but I get the...

bobbinbeck IMO, I think that memorization for a lot of "facts" may be a thing of the past. Yes, it's good to know how to spell commonly used words and memorize basic math facts. But everything else is constantly changing. For example, we used to call Pluto a planet, now...

bobbinbeck I think that sometimes problems become too embarrassing for some people to want to get help. Other times, they feel isolated for one reason or another. I know you said this person had family and friends, but maybe he felt it was something that he couldn't talk...

bobbinbeck We got lucky- in the process of trying to fix the lawn mower, we flooded it. Tried starting it a couple hours later, it started!

bobbinbeck We wanted to do some yard work today, too. But, as luck would have it, our lawn mower is broken. So, no power raking. We were thinking about rototilling our yard, but decided not to. We're still investigating what type of top soil and/or manure we want to mix...

bobbinbeck Based on my experiences thus far, I agree with your comment. Lately, I've been so busy I've had very little time to what-if. So that's good. I pray for patience with my kids and work hard to have patience. I think it makes a big difference :)

bobbinbeck I think that I am good most of the time. I have 5 kids 10 and under right now. So, I think that I would wish I took more time to enjoy them and spent less time trying to get everything done. I also think that since I'm often tired (kids waking me when they...

bobbinbeck It's always wonderful to let the dh carry the carseat! Those things, especially when baby gets big and heavy, can be quite cumbersome!

bobbinbeck My bad experiences with dresses were in my childhood, not with my kids. Though, I have heard of kids exposing their mothers. Maybe some tight fitting shorts would solve that problem. When my babies are about 1, I get worried that they'll jump, roll, or...

bobbinbeck Way to go OpinionatedLady! You're my kind of gal when it comes to being stubborn about how my family eats! I am NOT going to make 2+ meals every night so that everyone will be satisfied. I also hope to help my family to live long and happy lives. It's hard...

bobbinbeck I think that using paragraphs is very helpful along with using proper punctuation and spelling. We all misspell words, but it does make reading more enjoyable when one doesn't have to try to figure out what word the author is trying to use. Most browsers and...

bobbinbeck I don't like to wear heels while driving either. I think it would be a good idea to have an extra pair of slip-on shoes that are comfortable sitting in the car for days when wearing heels. I know it's an extra step, but I find that driving barefoot makes my...

bobbinbeck I don't wear a lot of dresses because I don't get off the floor after changing diapers, clean toys, etc in a lady-like way. I also have had a lot of bad experiences while wearing dresses. I do like to wear Capri pants and a short sleeve shirt. I also like...
