Mamaof4 Nah. I don't. Although a few years back, I did find a site where I could download Disney ringtones, lol! I did it mostly for my kids, so we had fun with those ringtones. Usually though, I just use whatever ringtone my cellphone has. Easier, less hassle, and...

Chores....do your kids have any?

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 1 Apr 07

Mamaof4 I'd be honest with your friend and just tell her that you lost it. Offer to pay for it right away, or replace it somehow. For friendship, honesty is always the best route, I say. I guess it depends how valuable that thing is that you lost, but on the average,...
