juliet17ak2002 I would be very uncomfortable with a blind date but might consider it if I wanted to date. I guess I've never just been on a date though. I've always met my boyfriends, and current husband, through a friend. We would hang out and hit it off and then go out. So...

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 13 Feb 08

Why do so many people assume that mothers are the better parents? I have heard women say they don't want to leave the baby with their husband because he won't take care of the baby the same way she would. Well, so what? Is your...

juliet17ak2002 DOn't force, just aim her in the right direction. Let her come into the bathroom with you and then put her potty in there too. At first leave her diaper on and just let her sit on it across, or next, to you. What worked best for me was once my daughter was...

scammerwear @scammerwear (1433) • Singapore 12 Feb 08

juliet17ak2002 I think it would great to teach religion in schools. I thought they still kind of did they just have to call it history? One of the problems with teaching modern day religion is how many different versions of each there are now. For example Paganism can...

juliet17ak2002 My patron deity is the Christian god but I follow an eclectic pagan path. It would take me forever to go over what I believe and don't believe and why, not to mention all the things I'm still trying to figure out.

juliet17ak2002 I wish I could, but don't think I can. My mother in-law says I have a mom voice. Basically nothing really special but its soothing qhen I sing lullabies to my baby. Even if I did have a decent voice, which I don't think I do, I know I can't hold a note.

Who is your favorite comedian?

songbirdnaimh @songbirdnaimh (1422) • United States 11 Feb 08

Who do you love to laugh with? I have to say that Ellen just cracks me up. I laugh so hard sometimes that I actually cry. I used to love Johnny Carson, too. He was a charming older man ;)

juliet17ak2002 Right now my favorite is jeff Dunham, a ventriliquist. I also like Bill Engvil and Jeff Foxworthy from Blue Collar, Bill cosby, George Carlin, and Lewis Black. Part of it depends on whether I'm in the modd for family style comedy or adult.
