Raising Baby: Keeping quiet????

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 17 Mar 07

I always behaved very normally around my babies. We ran the vacuum, the blender, the popcorn popper, the hair dryer and TV or music all at various times during the day and did not restrict noise when the baby was sleeping. It is...

Dara_momto4 I always tried to keep a normal routine during my childrens naptimes-that way the house wasn't too quiet. As a result my children can sleep through pretty much any ordinary noise. My youngest sleeps through anything- he's used to all the noise his older...

I Marked Best Response by Accident!

Dara_momto4 @Dara_momto4 (842) • United States 23 Feb 07

Have you ever done this? I just did and sent a message to mylot asking them to reset it. Can they do this, have they before? I meant to click on the users name but clicked mark as best response. GAHHH! This is frustrating!

Itchy Skin During Winter?

wondericequeen @wondericequeen (7876) • Hong Kong 12 Dec 08

The winter is so dry here that it's unbelievable! Not only the hair is dry, my skin starts to alert me by being very itchy. I put on body lotion and stuff but seem that it's not strong enough. If the situation continues, I know I...

Have you ever reported anyone on myLot?

SKLC_PT @SKLC_PT (1234) 21 Feb 07

I was wondering how people react to others here that are doing something they consider wrong. I know some people don't report but I don't think that's a good idea as if no one reports them the quality of mylot diminishes and who...

Dara_momto4 I have reported someone before. This man was posting racist, derogatory and sexually demeaning discussions and responses. Within 10 minutes of reporting him, myLot deleted the account. I'm glad they acted so quickly in removing him and his posts. I don't...

Quilting Stencils

BlackBay @BlackBay (584) • Canada 20 Feb 07

Do you like to use quilting stencils or do you free style quilt your project?

2 responses

Dara_momto4 I've used stencils before but I much prefer free motion, free hand quilting. I do like to look at all the stencils to get fresh ideas though.

Dara_momto4 Since I adore sharks I'd be part great white shark, part human. I wouldn't want to give up my humanity or my human abilities, just enhance them.

Human Cloning-what are your views?

Dara_momto4 @Dara_momto4 (842) • United States 2 Nov 06

Do you think the science of cloning is a benefit to mankind or not? Why?

Dara_momto4 It's a very slippery slope. I wish science could just clone organs and leave it at that but I know that won't happen.

spanking in schools

Dara_momto4 @Dara_momto4 (842) • United States 23 Oct 06

Do you think educators should be able to spank students? Why or why not?

Dara_momto4 WOW! I would have pulled my child out of that horrid school as well. That principal was way out of line in my opinion.

Dara_momto4 I was never spanked, but had to kneel in the corner, this was in 4th grade. I used to live in Connecticut and I moved down to Tennessee. When I signed my children up at their school there was a section in the handbook on corperal punishment. Boy was I shocked!...

I attended my great-nephew's first birthday party last weekend. There were a lot of bored 2-5 year old kids running around the tables trying to entertain themselves. It was then that I decided to start a game of Hokey Pokey...

Dara_momto4 I used to listen to him quite often when I was in high school. I think he was an amazing artist and I still enjoy his music. I also have my kids listen to him as well.

Do you keyword things?

SKLC_PT @SKLC_PT (1234) 19 Feb 07

Dara_momto4 I do use keywords when I start a discussion-makes it easier for others to find it. Which leads to more possible responses. And sometimes I will add tags to discussions I respond to, if it's relevant.

Mittens, I knit them, do you?

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 14 Nov 06

I taught myself to knit when I was 11 years old. My mother bought me a booklet that had patterns for socks, sweaters and 2-needle mittens. I have made so many pairs of those 2-needle mittens that I do not have to look at the...

Dara_momto4 I found a great two needle pattern for mittens. I just finished making a pair for both my sons. I adjusted the pattern a bit and made fingerless mittens for my two girls and myself. It was so easy and fun to make. My next new thing will be socks.:)

Man dead in front of TV for over a year - New York

brokentia @brokentia (10389) • United States 19 Feb 07

Dara_momto4 I also find it heartbreaking that not one person missed him. I think it's sad his neighbors didn't notice anything wrong. My question is: if he was dead for a year he wasn't paying rent nor bills so how come the landlord never checked up on him?
