Countrymom I think we could all learn from frugal millionaires. My grandparents were raised during the depression. Everything was recycled until there was nothing left of it. They were "green" before "being green" was even a thought in most peoples heads. Being raised in...

Countrymom It is disturbing to think that for a mere $20 a life was taken...not to mention that it was their own daughter. What a tragedy and a travesty of justice. I wonder what else these people have done to this poor child. I pray that she is in a better place now and...

Rachel D Wentz @camomom (7535) • United States 21 Oct 08

Countrymom Most doctors do not advise rice cereal at 3 months of age. I was advised nothing solid til 1 year of age with my kids (and I have 5 ages 27 to 6). I would cut back on the rice cereal (1/2 the amount in same sized bottle) and see if that helps.

Countrymom I have a houseful of kids and of course my husband and I. It is rare that there is a moment alone in our household. I cherish the rare moments alone like gold. I agree, if one cannot bear ones own company one needs to re evaluate ones own company.
