goldjay I shower either the very first thing in the morning, before breakfast, or the very last thing in the evening, after dinner and right before bed. It just feels like the right thing to do.

goldjay I took baths with my daughter when she was 3 and probably up to age 4. Then, it just got too crowded! I don't think I'll do the same with my son though. It just seems weird to me!

goldjay I like spaghetti a lot too. But, if I had to choose, I'd pick a ziti casserole. It is similar to lasagne but it is much easier to make since you just throw everything in the pan and bake and don't have to worry about the layering of noodles, cheese, meat, etc....

goldjay I just use the recipe on the side of the box of lasagne noodles. Over time, I have altered it just slightly (added more of some spices, less of others) to suit my family's tastes but even if you do it right off the box, it turns out good. Of course, Olive...

goldjay If it were me, I would tell the brother what was seen in an objective manner so as not to seem like the bad guy. Tell him you don't know if it was all innocent or not but that he should investigate on his own and find out the real story.

goldjay Good for you in making your daughter responsible for her actions! I mean, I still think that the fine is pretty ridiculous but if you've got to pay it then it should be her problem, not yours!

Do we need 3G phones???

prakashrishu @prakashrishu (147) • India 11 Feb 07

Few days ago, i bought a 3G phone. That time i was very much excited but now i think i did a mistake. With so many functions, most of them are useless for a common man. Its just a waste of time. And in my opinion its just a showy...

goldjay I've never even heard of a 3G phone so I really can't say for sure but from reading the responses here, I'd say it probably is just one more gadget with too many functions. Personally, I have a phone to use it as a phone and nothing else. If I use it for every...
