jeanmtdb I always clean the phones with clorox wipes and the computers with alcohol like you. At the office, I do it every day. While you're at it, don't forget the steering wheel and door knobs.

jeanmtdb You're right, I don't know her, but her daughter expected to be able to do whatever she wanted. That tells me that she gets her way all or most of the time. I know that it's easier to do nothing and not have to carry toys, correct a child and so on but it's a...

jeanmtdb I think the mom is really very selfish and lazy. She should have brought something for her daughter to do. If she didnt want to play with whatever mom brought, then the mom should have taken her outside or home. She let her daughter do whatever she wanted...

Have you ever wonder why pregnant women suffer much from leg cramps? Leg cramps is common for pregnant women specially those who are in their second trimester, the bigger the belly becomes the greater chance of getting leg cramps....

jeanmtdb When I was pregnant I have leg cramps during the nights. It was really painful and would wake me up. I would get up and walk around and they would go away, but then they would come back. My doctor told me to drink more water and gave me calcium and magnesium....

jeanmtdb I don't think you're paranoid. Having grown up in a big city, I am always careful. Once you learn it, its really second nature, you don't even think about it. I always tell my children that it is their job to keep themselves safe, that they have to be viligent...

jeanmtdb If you want to lose weight you have to take in less calories than you use. If you watch what you eat - looking for hidden calories like salad dressing, gravy, olives just to name a few - try to eat non processed foods. Exercise smart. Get a heart monitor and...

Do you prefer to knit or crochet?

dolfin @dolfin (71) • Australia 26 Sep 09

There are tons of beautiful knitting patterns out there which can't be matched by crochet, especially for garments. I can do both, but somehow I prefer crochet as I find it easier to handle - a lot less worry about dropping...

jeanmtdb I can knit and crochet. There are so many patterns and yarns so choose from that it is hard to decide what to do first. I find that crocheting goes much faster, so I do more projects in crochet. But, I love to knit. I always have something on my needles. While...

If you would ever kill yourself, how would you do it?

Ingkingderders @Ingkingderders (3832) • Philippines 19 Oct 09

Okay, I'm not being morbid here, but just last friday, a man jumped from the top of our condominium building to his death, taking a power cable, and some tree branches with him. Our building has 25 floors, it's pretty...

jeanmtdb I don't think you're backward. While it is great to be able to dash off a few lines in an IM or email, there is something to be said for taking the time to get pen and paper or a card, write it out, address and stamp it, and walk it to the mailbox or post...

jeanmtdb I let my daughter paint pumpkins and ghosts on the windows and sliding glass doors. They have paint just for this, but I find that poster paint, acrylic or watercolors are just fine. I let her use crayons too. I use a razor blade to remove it after the...

jeanmtdb I love rainy days. If it's raining for a day, I can curl up with a book and a blanket. But if it's going to be more than that, I have to get things done but the rain makes me feel lazy. I set up a schedule, not a minute by minute or hour by hour, but more like...

jeanmtdb Barehugs - this is exactly what I did. But don't forget to leave lights on so that she can get to the bathroom. Sometimes the children don't want to walk around in the dark. Also, when the bed is wet, don't say anything. They know they wet it. Just be pleasant...
