mckenziemom Thanks for the tip on the site. We are paying on average about $2.78 to $2.99 for gas here in Oregon. Ridiculous!! I will bookmark this site too, so I can find the cheapest gas when I fill up. Thanks Howard!!

What age would you be?

tsgirl01 @tsgirl01 (900) • United States 3 Mar 07

If you could pick any age and stay that age forever, what age would you pick and why? I would go back to the age of 40, my life partner was still alive, my parents were alive and my children were grown already.

mckenziemom Initially,I would say 30 years old because that is when I finally became comfortable "in my own skin" and really came into my own. However, I did not have my family. I would have to say that I look forward to the future with great enthusiasm as I watch my four...

mckenziemom It is so imprtant today to be aware of who is living in your neighborhood. In this case, I would certainly have no objections. People with developmental disabilities should be able to live in neighborhood communities like anyone else.
