..He was never the same...

checapricorn @checapricorn (16061) • United States 5 Aug 08

Last Saturday, My husband and I visited my in-laws and one of the topics we were talking was about their old dog! MIL told me it was the cutest dog and the nicest one they got but he was never the same after this situation: FIL...

mclendon Why didn't he just test it on himself? If the fence is for the dog, it is best to let the dog discover the electric shock on its own. Then it becomes afraid of the FENCE and stays away from it and in the yard. It makes sense that instead the dog became afraid...

mclendon Having now done it, I would consider certain things more carefully than I did before. I would carefully consider how well I was prepared to handle any emotional or developmental issues a child might have. There are likely to be emotional/attachment issues to...

mclendon I am left-handed but was ironically told in first grade that I wasn't "a real lefthander" because I used my right hand for most everything other than writing. It is interesting to see that other lefthanders also use their right hand for a lot of tasks and...

Ugh ... What Timing!

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 16 Jul 08

mclendon I know! I absolutely HATE that! I think they should be required to somehow notify residents before they just suddenly cut off the water or power for a few hours; especially if it not an emergency! They could have a phone tree or knock on a few doors, or put a...

mclendon Yes, sometimes it seems that way, but then new books get published all the time. My mother once said she was going to write a childrens' book called "Things that Go". I had to tell her I had checked a book out of the library to read my little ones that was...

How do you get that smell out?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 16 Jul 08

You ever notice how when an article of clothing smells, and you wash it with other clothing, they all end up smelling? My clothes, most especially the towels, always end up smelling a bit musty. Straight from the dryer they smell...

mclendon If you wash them and dry them thoroughly they shouldn't smell. Keep towels in a dry linen closet or closed in a cabinet. Towels not dried completely or that are kept in a damp room will get musty.

Do Celebritys deserve so much money?

Ryan Rosario @ryandreamz (159) • India 16 Jul 08

Everyday we hear about celebs charging absurd amounts for a film or advertisements. Even sports stars included. But do they really deserve this money? The other day i read in the newspaper that a leading Hollywood actress charges...

mclendon It is market driven, my friend. If enough people will see their movie, the movie will take in millions and they want their share, because it is their face up there. I don't think you could pay me enough to put up with photographers following my every move and...

How to encourage your my son to study??

celestial052506 @celestial052506 (2914) • Philippines 16 Jul 08

My 11 year old son is very lazy in studying his lessons. He keeps on failing in his exams. I know he is not dumb, but the only problem why he keeps on failing is that he is not interested to study. I am the one who make efforts to...

mclendon Try to figure out a way to make it real to him. He doesn't have to get A's but putting in a passing effort is necessary in all of life. Maybe make him earn his meals by doing certain chores and grade them. If he doesn't pass he gets to make his own sandwich or...

When something says lite or fat free do you

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 10 Jul 08

mclendon Probably, but I try not to buy to many convenience products and "treats". I may treat myself to some ice cream and buy the lite so I don't feel as guilty about the treat, but I won't buy ice cream every week and feel like it is okay because it is "lite" or...

mclendon You're right, they do not necessarily have to be legally married to be strong - mostly two people must be committed to the long term relationship during its ups and downs, good times and bad. However, a marriage ceremony and marriage license is intended to...

mclendon Wow, that's a frugal idea for sure. I just dump the dehumidifier water on my plants. When they don't really need it, I'll have to remember the toilet flushing trick.

mclendon I decided to answer your question with no response. Sure honey, if you like lotion, slather it on! If you don't want it to get too expensive, buy the biggest bottle of lotion you can find. Big bottles are cheaper by the ounce. Around here I can get some...
