deemazing @deemazing (395) • United States 27 Jan 10

A girl I work with told us the other day that her boyfriend is Haitian and that his brother was going to Haiti to bring his daughter to the US. Apparently the US has allowed this because of the certain circumstances. Do you feel...

getnbuy I hope he can get her. what a mess it is over there.It would be a good thing if the Haitain government would allow the newly orphaned children to come to the US and be adopted. I am sure they would all be taken in at once. I know many people who would like to...

carmelbg @carmelbg (519) 17 Oct 09

I am almost 30 and my husband and I have no desire to start a family. We have enjoyed the freedom and flexibility of having no children, lived in various countries and been able to do what we want when we want. I feel like people...

getnbuy It would be wrong for you to have children if you didn't want them. You might not be a good parent and you would resent them. No, it is not wrong. On the other hand, you might be sorry later on. Be sure you evaluate things before your biological clock runs...

getnbuy I love to make things as gifts. I have made a lot of crocheted things and I've made wind chimes and jewelry. Its a lot of fun and its is economical, too. Unless, ofcourse, you count the time you put into it. I used to try and sell some of my things, but you...

Do you repair your clothes or do you throw them away and buy new ones?

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 10 Apr 09

I am talking about simple repairs like sewing on buttons, repairing tears and worn patches, mending pockets, darning socks and so on. My mother would always repair clothes until they were really no longer wearable. Our socks...

getnbuy Buttons?-yes, other things-not likely. Although, with the economy the way it is we may all start mending our clothes rather than buy new. It may get to the point where it just costs too much to always buy new, as we are used to.

getnbuy I don't have anyone to make it for me, but I don't always make it, either. I find the best thing to do is to make it a habit to get up and immediately pull the covers up. A room always looks better once the bed is made. My Grandma told me that, and its true!
