lushmonkey I had gestational diabetes and they thought my baby was enormous, so I was induced at 7:30 on a Thursday morning a week before my due date. Nothing happened all day. They took me off the Pitocin at about 10 that night and started it back up again around 4 in...

Update on Tori's new album

geekwidow @geekwidow (88) • United States 2 Mar 07

Just a little tidbit of an update. I was reading about American Doll Posse on wikepedia when I ran across something I hadn't heard yet, so I figured I would share. "It has been said that American Doll Posse will be a more "Rock"...

lushmonkey I hadn't read that. Have you heard the two clips that were released? They are Big Wheel and Bouncing on Clouds. You can hear Big Wheel at www.perezhilton.com. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I don't think I'd classify it as rock per se. I sure hope this...

Do you give blood?

dfinster @dfinster (3528) • United States 5 Mar 07

I was watching the local news last night and they had a story on about the blood banks being open on Sunday. Normally that's the only day they're not open. Some of you know that where I live we had a huge snowstorm that went on...

lushmonkey I tried to donate blood once, which was a big deal, because I am deathly afraid of needles. Unfortunately I don't think I drank enough fluids that day or the day before and my vein collapsed! I was a little embarassed about my failure, because the person...

lushmonkey I don't know much about the problem between Vergie and Anna. I did hear that back when Anna was a stripper Vergie pulled her out of a club and that pissed Anna off. I also know the allegations Vergie made about her or Howard being responsible for Dannie's...

Item that is most worth the money?

YuhMin @YuhMin (63) • United States 8 Feb 07

So what do you think is the one item that is most worth your spending money at Lush? I know it might seem like a sort of vague question, but I mean what do you NOT feel guilty spending your hard-earned money on? For me, it's the...

lushmonkey I'm going to second the post about Buffy. I adore Buffy. I've read posts in the forums about Buffy not lasting, but in my case this hasn't been true. I turn the water off, grab Buffy off the counter, do a rub down, put Buffy back on the counter, rub all the...

Best baby items

apky12 @apky12 (769) • United States 31 Jan 07

I always have 1-5 freinds pregnant and although I've had 2 children it's hard to come up with the best baby items sometimes. I thought the bouncer and the swing were the best. What about you?

lushmonkey One of my son's favorite items is called the Ocean Wonders Musical Aquarium Crib Attachment. You can look it up at www.amazon.com. It seems kind of random, but I put my son to bed when he is still awake, hit the button on the crib attachment and he falls...

dog breeding

royalkaliber @royalkaliber (135) • United States 1 Feb 07

It is really disturbing me the number of people I see on mylot who want to breed their dog. Most of these people don't know what they are getting into, financially and otherwise. I just wish people would do more research and look...

lushmonkey I agree with you one hundred percent. I think that breeding should be highly regulated if not banned until the overpopulation of companion animals is under control. My husband and I were just talking about this today actually. If people want to breed their...

Isn't this considered discrimination against a PITT BULL?

micheller @micheller (1365) • United States 11 Jan 07

lushmonkey I think you'll find that when you go to buy a house, you'll face a similiar situation. I have heard, at least where I live, that if you have pit bull or rottweiler it can be a challenge to get house insurance. It sucks if you are the pet owner for sure. I...

What are your feeling about banning pit bulls?

theresa64055 @theresa64055 (264) • United States 13 Oct 06

Our town just banned pit bulls and then grandfathered the people in who already had them as long as they met strict quidelines for keeping their pit bulls enclosed. I have met some very sweet pit bulls that listen better than my...

lushmonkey I personally don't have a problem with pit bulls at all. I think they are adorable and the only one I ever knew was a total sweetheart. I think they have a bad rep, because they were bred for centuries as fighting dogs and because they seem to fall into the...

Do you think animals have rights?

paperchaser @paperchaser (503) • Canada 4 Feb 07

If you ask me, I will be blunt and say that no way in hell does an animal have any right. Humans made up rights and laws because we are smart enough to think of these things ourselves, and to save ourselves from killing and eating...

Vegetarian, organic

astrotink @astrotink (169) 12 Jan 07

I understand why some people still choose to eat meat, but if it wasnt for the price surely we should all at least aim for organic if we cannot bring ourselves to be vegetarian. Free Range organic is better for the animals and...
