If you clicked on my topic, you know by now that it in and of itself is a question. Yes, I realize that. However, my type of question is not the type of question that is in question. Um. I think. Ok, so seriously now, with that...

mclendon Your Honor? Am I the judge? Oops! Two questions. And two sentence fragments. Ah well. I have been trying to think of ordinary situations where someone starts a conversation out without using a question. Hmmm.... I guess a statement that can prompt others...

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...

I saw a 1-liter mineral bottle filled with sand inside a hotel flush tank...(just to make sure it was safe :) ) For a moment I was wondering what it was for. I realize they actually save a liter of water for each flush. I...

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.

There has been alot of media coverage over the death of journalist Tim Russert and I don't understand why. I am sorry he died, but why does his death merit so much attention when the death of our American soldiers doesn't?

mclendon Yes, I did. Maybe you misunderstand how I mean "overwhelmed". When we are overwhelmed we cannot continue on bravely and with purpose. We are stopped in our tracks emotionally - the way I see it. Our brave military personnel in Iraq cannot afford to be...

I think orange cats seem smarter and friskier, gray and white cats without stripes are likely meaner or more aggressive, black and white tuxedo kitties are more aloof and sophisticated, gray tiger-stripes are friendlier, etc. It...

mclendon Yes, I have had cats. Right now I only have one. I also used to work as a Vet Tech, so I've met a lot of cats.

mclendon I have a black and white one right now who is really silly too, but he has a limit to how much coddling and petting he'll take before he sticks his nose and tail in the air and gracefully walks away.

With so many insecurities in most of us, sometimes it makes since to suspect that there may be something mentally or physically wrong with you. Sometimes I feel so far off from being myself that I start to wonder if I would fall...

mclendon What do lack of energy/depression have to do with ADD/ADHD? Sure mild to moderate depression might be improved with exercise and sunlight, but you mentioned ADHD as a drug company conspiracy as if it was related to energy/depression. Obviously you have never...

My children are driving me crazy! What do you do with your kids when they are out of school for the summer? Especially if you have to work. I work part-time and they are having to come to the office with me some days this summer....

mclendon That's good that he has a grandpa who can take care of him. My parents will not keep them for the whole summer, just a day now and then or a couple of days at a time.

mclendon Grandparents will keep them some of the time, but not all the time -maybe one day a week or so. I don't have any neighbors who will keep them.

mclendon Yep, it's more WHAT we eat and not how much; especially for babies and children. I watch out for that HFCS, but it IS in just about everything! So many obese adults blame their overeating on trying to fill an emotional void. So depriving a baby of nourishment...

I've been trying to potty train my 2 year old for about a month or so. He's not really picking it up well. He has gone on the potty a couple times, accidentally. I tell him to sit on it many times a day, but he will just cry...

mclendon Yes, my son was potty-trained at age 2. I used a little potty chair and put a sticker on the back of it every time he used it. He was very excited to get a sticker. After the first few he wanted to put the sticker on himself. I think your two year old would...
