It's not a cold, it's not the flu - I've got pneumonia!

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 7 May 09

I haven't figured out how this happened since I got a pneumonia shot last fall when I got my regular flu shot. Fat lot of good that did me. But I felt kinda crappy last week and figured I just had a cold. No big deal. No...

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 27 Mar 09

My 9 year old daughter came home yelling her head off the other day - "I made the Honor Roll, I made the Honor Roll, I made the Honor Roll!!!!!" over and over again. I knew she was getting her report card and I was pretty sure her...

Can't avoid it any longer - had to get bifocals. They SUCK!

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 30 Dec 08

After managing to avoid getting them for nearly 8 years, I finally broke down and had to get bifocals just before Christmas. They are driving me crazy!! I couldn't get the "progressive lenses" because my insurance wouldn't cover...

It sucks making money decisions at Christmastime

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 4 Dec 08

My daughter has been taking piano lessons the last few weeks but she hates to practice every night. Today I'm going to cancel the lessons because the $50 a month I'm spending on them is needed to buy her Christmas presents. She...

Morning Sickness

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 30 Oct 08

The neighbor dropped in on a friend and found her sitting at the kitchen table, staring blankly at a half-empty cup of coffee; her three kids squabbling loudly in the other room. "What's wrong Marge?" she asked. Marge told her...

Do you revisit your old threads?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 30 Oct 08

I do every so often. Sometimes I find new responses I didn't see before. Sometimes I'll reply but most of the time I don't if the thread is over a year old.

My daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD..

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 30 Oct 08

I'm relieved now that it's official. She goes to the Dr. on November 6th and will hopefully be assigned some meds for it to help her calm down a bit and focus more. She gets SO distracted sometimes that it takes forever for her to...

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 28 Oct 08

I do. Lately it's been hitting me more & more that some of the people I've met lately are so much like me that we must have been related in another life. We even think alike and have finished each other's sentences. It gets weird...

Do you still play with tub toys in your bath?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 6 Aug 07

I was watching my daughter in the bathtub tonight as she played with her boats. It got me to thinking how some have boats, some have duckies. I remember having a little motorized boat when I was a kid and how much fun it was. It...

Do you drink soda faster if it's cold than if it's warm?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 5 Aug 07

I've gotten used to drinking my pepsi & root beer warm so I don't drink it very fast. But I've noticed that if I have a cold bottle or can of it, I'll drink it a lot faster than I do the warm or room temperature ones. So do you...

Has anyone got a simple idea for a gumball machine costume?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 5 Aug 07

I want to dress my daughter as a gumball machine for Halloween but I need a *simple* costume pattern that I can put together without a sewing machine. I can hand sew some parts but since she'll likely only wear it the one time, I...

McDonald's Dollar Menu - Has anybody noticed any menu changes on it?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 1 Aug 07

I went through the drive thru last night and got a shock - McDonald's has taken the medium fries off of the dollar menu and put the SMALL size on there in place of it! The small size doesn't have enough fries in it to make it...

Do you still play with Play Doh?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 30 Jun 07
