Rise in kids eating laundry detergent pods

ladybug565 @ladybug565 (2216) • United States 27 Jun 12

Sweet-smelling and colorful, but toxic, single-use laundry detergent packs or “pods” are causing a rising rate of poisoning in kids who confuse them for candy. In the past 72 hours alone, nine childhood poisonings of toddlers...

livingforever I wonder if it tastes as good as it smells? That's what surprises me the most, the kids didn't spit it out after the first bite or lick. I don't use those pods and I keep my detergent on a high shelf so the kids can't reach it. I'm sure there are lots of...

should people pay back welfare assistance?

livingforever @livingforever (29) • United States 26 Jun 12

I think if people get public assistance with the knowledge that it must be paid back, they won't live on it for years. I know it is designed to help people get on their feet but lot's of people make it a way of life and just live...

Do you eat all the food served on your plate?

livingforever @livingforever (29) • United States 20 Jun 12

I don't ever finish all the food on my plate, I think I am just very hungry when I put the food there but I always leave some over. Just once I would like to get the right amount on the plate.

livingforever My husband is a weight lifter too and he eats so much food! But I started putting less on my plate and eating it all! If I want more I just take a couple spoons if I need more satisfaction but for the most part, less is more now to me!

Dry bean salad anyone?

marguicha @marguicha (222976) • Chile 21 Jun 12

I know many of us eat dry beans in Winter as you can turn it into a warm hearthy dish. Chile con carne and other dry bean dishes keep our soul warm in the coolest months. But this birthday I was thinking of salads as I only...

Had to use some of my rent money to buy food

Charlene Sally C. @PointlessQuestions (15397) • United States 21 Jun 12

So we have less money now that we moved here. I have to pay $200 for my part of the rent and my family has to make up the rest. I asked my SIL if he could give me back the $60 and I would pay him back on the 3rd of the month when...

livingforever I know it can be hard to do this but have you considered a food pantry? If things get bad I know there is one a couple blocks away from me and I thank God I haven't had to go there yet. I keep a stock pile of Ramen Noodles, they taste great alone and sometimes...

livingforever I think jewelry is over rated. I don't wear any at all, my husband and I don't even wear wedding bands because we never had a ceremony and don't intend to follow the traditions of men. We are non-conformist and I like not worrying about ornaments on my body.

livingforever I heard that eating slow fills us up faster because it takes 15 minutes for the brain to register that the stomach is full. I have always been a slow eater and I am always interrupted while eating with my kids wanting something and just getting up and...

livingforever I definitely don't waste it! Even if my kids don't finish everything on their plate I put it all in containers and we eat it either later that day or the next. I do feel bad for people that don't get enough food and the price of food seems to be getting higher...

gumball and candy machines

livingforever @livingforever (29) • United States 21 Jun 12

Every time I go to the store my kids want some coins to put in the machines for a little candy. I know it isn't really cost effective but since I don't buy candy for the house, I figure a little at a time isn't bad for...

Do you take naps during the day?

livingforever @livingforever (29) • United States 20 Jun 12

I'm an early bird and most day's I take naps around 10am. I wish I didn't but sometimes I just fall asleep and can't control it! I get plenty of sleep, 8-10 hours a night, IDK why I need a nap. Do you take naps during the day?...

livingforever Your right, I think the consistency of the food has a lot to do with it too. I always overflow the oatmeal! You must be in the good ole' supersized USA!

livingforever Sometimes I leave half a plate! lol, I do that with oatmeal usually because they water puffs it up and with the extra stuff I put inside like bananas and walnuts, it's just too much.
