larainefan24 I don't know that I've read that particular one, but I love Nuala O'Faolain (with most all Irish writers). She also wrote one called Are You Somebody, that was what introduced me to her. I'll have to look for the one you mentioned. Thanks, I'm always looking...

larainefan24 When I was a child my mom would read to me, apparently I loved a book called "I'm so glad I'm Susie". "I can brush my hair, I can dress myself." My Mom would get tired of reading it all the time and would try to skip pages, and I'd make her go back and read...

larainefan24 George Harrison was an excellent guitarist, the most natural musician of the Beatles (the others were more into showmanship). George seemed to take music more seriously, he taught himself until his fingers bled, at age 14. His talent was very underrated,...

larainefan24 This would not work for me, I like my beer not as cold as most do. I mean, I don't want it warm, but not ice-cold, either. This is as bad as the toothbrushes which are supposed to let you know when a new one is needed. As if people can't think for themselves....

Do you have nicknames for your children???

creematee @creematee (2810) • United States 13 Apr 07

The reason why I ask is I was recently in a grocery store and was calling to my kids. I used their nicknames so they would come to me. An older woman tsked at me and told me how awful it was to give children names that they will...

larainefan24 I call Holly, Coo, and my husband calls her Punkin. I see nothing wrong with nicknames, they're just endearment terms.

mrsturner @mrsturner (518) • Canada 6 Apr 07

larainefan24 My daughter never has cared for those changing stations, I believe she felt like she was suspended in thin air, and was always clutching at me and trying to climb back into my arms. Which makes it almost impossible to change her there. Still, that does not...

larainefan24 My first name is Alicia, most likely derived from Alice, Latin, "truth", though some say it could come from Adeliza/Adelaide, "noble." My middle name means "reborn".

larainefan24 I kind of like Catherine or Catharine. But that name is so long, it needs a short middle name, like Ada or Ava. Chase is nice, not sure of a middle name, perhaps Andrew or Anthony.

larainefan24 Water broke at 1am, no contractions beforehand. We went to the hospital, she was born 4:33am. So 3 hours, 33 minutes, and only 4 1/2 hours past her due date of the previous day.
