My stepson's girlfriend is expecting their first child, a girl, and she recently developed problems with her vision. After seeing her OBGYN and a specialist it was determined that there is too much pressure to her optic nerves and...

mescue I had a 32 weeker. I started contracting at 29 weeks for no reason. Do you know how many weeks along she is? The reason I ask is that doctors determine pregnancy by weeks and not months (the math doesn't add up if you go by months). A full term pregnancy is...

Whenever my spouse leaves for work, I'm always sure to give him a kiss and say, "I love you!" Sometimes, I remind him of the various things we need from the store that he can purchase the next morning on his way home. How...

mescue I'm a big believer in saying "I love you". My husband leaves for work really early in the AM but he will wake me and we both say the "I love you's" and give the smoochy smooches. I always call him when I wake up a few hours later just to make sure he made it...

My husband tends to have his cell phone on it around most of the times. But lately, when I am around him, and if his cell phone rings he will look at the caller-Id. And he will close his phone back up. This usually happens when I...

mescue I always ask my husband who was calling. He does the same to me. The way I see it, when you're married you should be able to ask anything. Call it being nosey or just being curious. I have nothing to hide and neither does my husband. If I were you, I would...

When I was little my grandmother told me that my baby cousin was talking to her guardian angel because she was looking at nothing really but enjoying it quite a lot. Since that time I have noticed the same behavior in my children...

mescue This still scares me! LOL!! Not only did my daughter do this but my cats as well. I never heard that is was their guardian angel just that babies and animals are more aware of "other" things around us that we may not be able to see. It still bothers me with my...

This is a vent. Based on a lot of threads I've seen about cell phones and usage even though I haven't experienced many headaches in real life, I would like to know why so many people have it in for regular cell phone users. I see...

mescue So I agree with the typical; not in movies, not in church, not while driving (although I am guilty of this one from time to time). I love my cell. I would be lost without it. I also have email on it so it's very convenient. My husband has a work cell and a...

I gained an average 35 lbs (but I gained 28 of them all in the third trimester after losing 8 in the first). I know people who gained over 100 and people who LOST up to 15. How about you? Did you have trouble losing it after? I...

mescue I gained about 15 lbs and lost it all within the week after delivering. I had bought quite a few maternity outfits and didn't get to wear most of them. I also bought coco butter cream for stretch marks and never used it. I anticipated gaining most of my weight...

mescue I did not intend to sound rude, I apologize for that. I have tolerated all of the questions I get asked in regards to what I am mixed with but the name calling still very much angers me. I was called so many names growing up...mixed breed, half breed, wet...

mescue All you can do is love him and accept him any which way. He may still be going through a phase. If he continues as he gets older, sit down with him and ask him how he feels about himself. If this is not a phase, don't see it as something wrong or bad. Lots of...

mescue I give hugs and kisses...all the time. I don't reward with a toy or treat. My daughter rarely wants anything. I'll admit, I want everything for her. She's only two so I normally tell her when she has done something that mommy is proud of and I tell her why I...

mescue How is there no harm intended when being asked if you are a 'mixed breed'? Are you a dog? I have worked for an animal hospital and mixed breeds are typically dogs who are mutts. I am not a mutt nor am I a mixed breed. I am a human who is of mixed heritage.

mescue I do agree that it should be counted back. I worked in retail before and I always counted back. Sometimes a mistake can be made...giving back too many ones or less than what is correct. I did it to insure that my drawer never had shortages or overages. But...
