I cannot stand it when people think it's the end of the world that we are like this. I guess if you are a big time meat eater, this would be a problem. I do not eat meat everyday. If I could, I would, but I've adjusted. Everytime...

kieusurvey It's not hard for us since I do not cook meat at home. When I do feed my son meat, it's organic, precooked stuff. That was one reason we didn't want him to eat meat right away, the hormones.

It's been a problem most of my life. It's getting better, but there are times when people walk all over me. I think I might be better since my son was born since I can at least tell him how I feel. I tell my husband, but when I am...

kieusurvey Yes, I am a lot better with it towards my husband, but when it comes to co-workers or strangers, not so much. It's kind of weird though because my husband doesn't let anyone walk on him. He is very good at confrontation. He is calm, courteous and knows what he...

kieusurvey If you have never heard of the term passive aggressive, you must be pretty sheltered. Passive aggressive means to not explode and keep things inside. IE:no anger management needed because it's inside. And yes I said I yell at my child, but who doesn't? I don't...

If anyone ever needs help with a project, just let me know and I will try to give some advice. I sew for myself and others. I have also made things from scratch.

kieusurvey I've made one quilt. I did this without following any directions. I could give you some advice on the border: I would cut the fabric enough to fold over depending on how wide you want the border (ex: if you want it to be 2 in wide, cut 4 & a half inches, fold...

kieusurvey I don't. Sorry. Sergers are very sensitive. You didn't get directions with it? I will ask around for you. My parents own an alteration business.

I gave ebay a shot and went out and bought a buch of vintage clothes. Now, a lot of it didn't sell and now I have them all around my house. Oh well, there I go again trying to make money at home. Another scheme that didn't work...

kieusurvey I will try the ebay store. I dind't think it was worth it, but maybe it is. It seems you got very lucky. I just think it's nice to work at home and be on your own schedule.

It sucks though because we do it in a shower! I fill up his tub and I sit outside of it. I get myself cleaned, but we aren't in the tub together. He is almost 2 though and getting curious. I know some people who've stopped bathing...

kieusurvey Me too. I think I took baths with my dad for awhile. I remember him in the tub with me wearing underwear though. I think he just had to give me a bath, but was thinking it was kind of wrong. I don't know. As long as my son isn't screwed up.

I do every other day. Used to be once a week or so because I would be so tired taking care of my son. Now, I just jump in the bath with him. If I didn't do that, I would still be taking baths once a week!

kieusurvey I used to be like that, but I had a kid. Also, my skin started to dry out. I was just too lazy to put lotion on. Maybe that would have helped.

Now that I have a kid, I am excited about Harry Potter more than ever. They are such fun books. That whole contorversy with the Harry Potter actor will not prevent me from being excited about it either.

kieusurvey No kidding. I am so happy that so many people (well I guess only 10 so far) are excited about Harry.

I am with my son 24/7. I went to work for the first time today for 5 hours and came back home to the most loving little boy. He missed me! He didn't even get a nap and he was so good. Maybe I didn't need time away from him, he...

kieusurvey My husband and I always talk about our son when we are apart! I think it's just natural. We do love it when grandma comes to visit.

kieusurvey Oh I know. I am only doing this because we need to pay bills. We don't overspend on too much. My husband has a real job, we just need a little extra money.

We just visited and it was so sad. How can anyone hate another person so much, let alone a whole group of people they didn't even know? That is why stereotyping is dangerous, although I find myself doing it. I don't want to hurt...

kieusurvey There was crazy stuff there. The poor people. I'm Vietnamese and even compared to what my parents went through, I feel more for the jews. At least my parents had a chance. They didn't have anywhere to run.

kieusurvey I agree with you. I was pretty sheltered as a kid and when I met my husband, we had to work a lot of things out. Good thing he stuck it out with me or I wouldn't have a son at all!

I used to live 5 hrs from Chicago. It's a nice city, but I live 5 hrs from NY City now and I like it a lot better. I guess it's just more exciting. Maybe it's just something new. I can say it's a pain in the butt to drive into...

kieusurvey My husband and I have been there 2 times since moving here. We stopped going to Chicago just to hang out. Only if there was a concert. It's nice to live near a big city for that reason also. Public transportation is great. Too bad there isn't transportation...

I am if the driver is in the wrong lane and not going the speed limit or faster. I hate it when people tailgate me when I am going over the speed! I guess I should never tailgate since it would be my fault regardless!

kieusurvey I drive a stick also. I have a subtle method of slowing down, I downshift and they don't see the brake lights! I'm not a brake slammer, my husband is and it scares me, but makes me mad also.

kieusurvey You make me want to take a bath! I probably would take a bath everyday, but we only have a shower. I guess showers are relaxing too, but I would rather have a tub. It's getting better now that my son is a little older, but for awhile, it was all mom for him....

kieusurvey Isn't that weird? I rarely tailgate, but when I do it, there's always a reason. Then when someone does it to me, I get angry. I guess we would be less stressed out if this wasn't a concern.

kieusurvey What? Are you saying if I continue to do this, he might think he is a woman? I don't want that for sure. I mean, if he feels it just because, it's fine, but I don't want to be the one who did it to him.
