momofmany79079 Ok, no one ever said we couldn't, and anyone who tells someone they can't nurse their child in public, is violating their rights, I do believe the supreme court says so. I really wish that ignorant people would just keep their mouth shut and go on about their...

What do you think of this years American Idol?

ccreager @ccreager (9) • United States 1 Mar 07

This year seems to be so un-original and so boring! I normally can pick one or two people that really stand out to me, but this year seems like no one really shines. Is it just me? Am I being too picky? Or do you feel the same...

momofmany79079 For the most part, the guys are pretty sucky, and about half of the girls are sucky, but that LaKeisha is really really good, as are three or four of the others, I'm sure when they get down to six guys and six girls, america will get rid of all those guys...

momofmany79079 We have six kids, the first tooth we have always tried to make special, my kids usually get a ten dollar bill for the first one, and then after that, we usually give them a dollar or two. But that first one was always special so they got more.

momofmany79079 Not only imitations, but the songs the words (like spanish from Dora), and my three year old son can sound EXACTLY like a dirt bike. I think its pretty hilarious watching them make all these noises and imitating their favorite tv characters.

momofmany79079 NO, they are not a form of cocaine. I think that what everyone is trying to say is... that ADHD meds are a stimulant drug, for the normal person, a stimulant causes you to be hyper, for a person with ADHD, a stimulant calms them down. My son has ADHD, and...

momofmany79079 I think that whenever a woman feels like she is ready to be a parent is the perfect time for her to become a parent. I don't think that being really young or older really makes a difference as far as loosing their figure, you're gonna gain weight no matter...

momofmany79079 Horses don't "sit" per say, a horse will lay down in the sun during the day and mine does this all the time. A horse that is laying down, thrashing and acting like he or she is in pain, is usually experiencing colic and must be treated immediately for colic or...

momofmany79079 I have been riding horses all my life, and I'm 38 by the way, and I have never worn a helmet. I have been bucked off, fallen off, rolled off, etc... and never been seriously hurt. I really don't see the need for a helmet, thats just my opinion.

momofmany79079 I wouldn't, just because their bodies need to become accustomed to the cold, if they are blanketed, they tend to get used to having on the blanket and their bodies can't do without having the blanket on. By now they should have a pretty heavy coat for winter...
