Renting maternity clothes

C @ShyBear88 (59347) • Sterling, Virginia 18 Jan 12

Would you rent maternity clothes? Do you think it's a smart and economical way to stay fashionable while pregnant? I wouldnt rent maternity clothes at all. It doesn't seem economical at all to me. Normally renting things...

crazynurse Your situation is different in that you have maternity clothes from last year. For someone experiencing a first pregnancy, I think that either renting or shopping in consignment stores is the way to go. Our society must change its habit of thinking that...

Post=dated checks are so confusing

suspenseful @suspenseful (40193) • Canada 5 Sep 11

I got a letter from my voice teacher that she wants post-dated checks. Now I have never liked to write post-dated checks. It is not that I would not have any money to pay each one in time because well I do get a monthly pension....

crazynurse I suppose I am a bit confused. What benefit would it be to the teacher to ask for a post dated check? Wouldn't the teacher want a check that could be cashed immediately? Also, can't the person writing the check can still enter it in their check register and...

chiyochan @chiyosan (30184) • Philippines 5 Sep 11

Are there any movies that you liked and you watched them more than once? Does Not matter if you watched them in the movie house, or has watched them in DVD... For me, I am not really the kind of person that would watchh a...

crazynurse Like others who have responded, I do not typiclly watch a movie more than once. However, I have watched a movie entitled Office Space at least 5 times! Each time, I see something that I didn't see before a laugh hilariously! One reason for watching it so many...

"Too Skinny" and being harassed to eat junk food

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 27 Aug 11

Yesterday morning, a group of students brought donuts to class and everyone was invited to partake. The TA told me, quite rudely, "You need to eat a donut!" And when I did (not because he told me to, but because I wanted a donut...

crazynurse Oh my!! I am neither naturally thin (but wish!) nor do I make comments like you describe to naturally thin people. How callous and inconsiderate. I wonder how the people who make these comments to you would feel if the situation were different and you were...

Do you ever check your junk email?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 20 Aug 11

Most email accounts have a separate box set aside just for spam. I just happened to check mine today and lo and behold there was several emails that were not junk. Most of it was from my yahoo groups. But I never had thought...

crazynurse Yes, I now check my junk email fairly frequently. I got in this habit after an embarassing incident a few months ago. I had bought something online and was not happy with the purchase. The company's customer relations was helping me with a refund. Several days...

I had to turn my Facebook chat off !

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 7 Aug 11

You know they have that little chat at the corner of the page where people can just pop up and start talking to you at any given time. I turned it off. I thought it was fun to see all the people that I went to school with or...

crazynurse I know exactly what you mean! I, too, had to turn mine off. I don't think it is a bad thing. If I left mine on I wouldn't get anything done. I try to get on Facebook to do a quick check in with family and close friends and if I stopped to chat with everyone...

Usual complaint from a new mother.

DoctorDidi @DoctorDidi (7018) • India 28 Aug 11

As a homeopath, I often have to face a complaint, especially from the new mother of a baby which is always as follows: ‘My child is too thin and is picky about its food and I feel it does not eat enough. What can I do now? Would...

crazynurse I think parents, especially first-time parents, are so worried about every little detail about their infant that they sometimes become too focused on what 'might' go wrong instead of relaxing and enjoying the baby. Unless the baby is losing weight, it is...

Why would smokers just throw cigarette butts in the streets?!

chiyochan @chiyosan (30184) • Philippines 26 Aug 11

crazynurse I find smokers who throw their cigarette butts into the streets to be very carefree and inconsiderate. If every person threw some little something on the ground (straw, gum, candy wrapper, etc) we wouldn't be able to walk and storm sewers and streams would be...

Animated banner ads: attention grabbing or just annoying?

Awinds @Awinds (2468) • United States 24 Aug 11

You know what I'm talking about. Those banner adds that keep flashing or have text that moves at fifty miles an hour. The image ad that can't hold still. Sometimes the animation is mild and at other times obnoxious. What do...

Anxiety begets anxiety.

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 24 Aug 11

Have you ever noticed that the more you worry, the better you become at it? Some people even worry so much that they worry about the worrying they are doing! Will all this worrying give me ulcers? How will I pay the doctors bills...

crazynurse You are so right Pose. Seems the more we worry the more we find to worry about! At some point we have to realize that worrying about something is not going to help the situation or prevent a situation. Instead, we decide: what can I actually do and either do...

Any James Patterson fans?

86steelers43 @86steelers43 (167) • United States 9 Feb 11

I started reading James Patterson last year with "Cat & Mouse", the 4th novel in the Alex Cross series because the first three novels were always checked out at my library . Since then I have read all but "Jack & Jill" (which I am...

crazynurse I enjoy all of James Patterson's books but am particularly fond of his Women's Murder Series. I was sad when I finished it and couldn't wait for his latest addition to that series to hit the shelves. Unfortunately it has been checked out ever since it hit our...

Thanks for scratching my car.

scjbxz @scjbxz (139) • United States 21 Aug 11

So today I was waiting in the car for my mom to finish buying some groceries. A car came in and parked in the spot next to me and proceeded to open their door all the way. Their door hit my car, and I felt it slightly move. They...

crazynurse That behavior is so disrespectful! The polite thing to have done would have been NOT to hit your door in the first place. However, if one does hit another's vehicle it is polite to at least go over and apologize. I always try to get a 'wide' spot in a lot or...

One penny is a penny more than you would have had.

megamatt @megamatt (14292) • United States 13 Aug 11

These days if we can find some way to save any amount of money, even if it is one penny, it is just a logical step to take it. People tend to think of not being able to save a lot of money as a failure, which I disagree with. Its...

crazynurse I agree with you and many of the responders that every penny counts when one is wanting to save money. The old adage,"Pennies add up to dollars' is really true. Granted, it may take some time, but what harm is there in putting that penny in a container and...
