KateM0414 I use an air conditioner because I suffer from allergies and the filter in the air conditioner keeps the pollen out of my house which keeps me feeling much better.

Who the heck does he think he is??

34momma @34momma (13882) • United States 19 Jun 08

My son called me yesterday and asked could he go to a party with a bunch of friends. Of course I said sure. He has great friends and he is 18. However when I woke up and did my room check about 2a.m. I saw that he was not home...

KateM0414 I think that as long as he lives in your house he needs to let you know that he is not coming home so that you will not worry. When I lived with my mother she expected that of me and I always respected her wishes, it is not difficult to pick up a phone and...

How Hot is Too Hot?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 18 Jun 08

When I go swimming, I like the pool temperature to be over 70 degrees. But sometimes, it gets up to 90 degrees out here, which is way too hot. Anything too far over 80 just isn't relaxing for me anymore. And while I have gone...

KateM0414 I prefer a heated pool, maybe around 70 to 80 degrees. I agree, swimming in a pool that is too hot is just not enjoyable at all. I also hate swimming in water that is too cold.

Irish Ancestry?

newtondak @newtondak (3946) • United States 16 Jun 08

I have discovered while doing genealogical research that many of my ancestors came from Ireland - guess that must explain my red hair and temper! Who else here has the Irish blood running in their veins?

KateM0414 I have Irish on both sides of my family. Both of my mother's parents are Irish and my father's father is Irish. We have many relatives who still live in Ireland.

HR 676 Should America have public health care?

spiderhunter @spiderhunter (46) • United States 12 Jun 08

I heard about the bill HR 676 which is a bill requiring America to provide health care to it's legal residents. It caught my attention and I read through it. It's a very simple and short bill (compared to others I've read) with...

KateM0414 I think that we should have universal health care. I am sick of medical treatments being mandated by private insurance companies who are just out to make money. It is also impossible to live in this country without health insurance, which I don't feel is...

KateM0414 From what I have heard I personally don't think it is necessary. I have read that some of those colon cleansing products can actually cause more harm than good.

What type of sandals you usually wear?

padmameera @padmameera (952) • India 10 Jun 08

One with high heals? Flat heals? I usually wear flat healed sandals. If I wear high healed sandals it would hurt my knees and ankles. What about you?

KateM0414 I usually just wear flip-flops. I have them in many different colors and even some with flowers on them etc. They are great for summer. I could never walk around all day in high healed sandals, that would be torture.

KateM0414 I am overweight and also feel uncomfortable in a swimsuit. I find a fairly plain one piece suite to be the best. Just always keep in mind that no one is perfect and you should not keep yourself or your daughter from enjoying the nice weather at the swimming...

KateM0414 I can sleep on either side or on my stomach but I absolutely can't sleep at all on my back. I know that sleeping on your stomach is not supposed to be good but I always seem to end up that way.

KateM0414 I watched them both and I think they are quite alarming. I would never let a child in my care talk to anyone that way. The first one is especially horrible. Children should be taught to talk to adults (or anyone for that matter) with respect.

KateM0414 You should definitely have one done soon. I had my first one when I was around 19 or 20. I find the actual pap somewhat painful but that is most likely because I have endometriosis, I get terrible cramps for the whole day afterward. The actual exam isn't bad,...
