momoftwingles First of all, I think its tacky for anyone to "insist" upon a gift. But I digress. An appropriate gift for a Christening or baptism is a children's Bible, a small piece of baby jewelry or a savings bond. A religious wall hanging (a cross or crucifix for baby's...

How do you feel about pro-abortionist?

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32191) • United States 6 Jul 08

I've seen questions about abortion on whether it be here or other sites. My question is not about whether you are pro choice, pro abortion or against it. My question is how do you feel about the people that are pro abortion? After...

momoftwingles I am pro-life. I know people who have had abortions and it saddens me. When I read responses from women who have had abortions, sometimes I feel like the "right" amount of *emotion* isn't there. I am a firm believer that we learn lessons in life, some of the...

What else can we all do?

TinaP40 @TinaP40 (329) • Spain 6 Apr 08

I think if you are careful with the pennies and try to save money at every turn is there anything else you can do? When there simply is not enough money coming in!

momoftwingles There are always ways to cut a little more money out of the budget. Unfortunately, once you get to this point, the things that you have to start cutting are small and you have to cut out a lot of things to start feeling the savings. Things my family does...

momoftwingles I believe that life begins at conception. All of the building blocks of a human being are present at that very moment.

It doesn't have to be anything huge, but what have you done to help someone, or an animal, or our sickly planet? I can think of several things I've done to help. Nothing major, but made me feel good. One day while in line to...

Where do you cut back next?

newtondak @newtondak (3946) • United States 23 Jun 08

I'm sure we've all made a number of adjustments to our way of living to bridge the gap between the amount of money coming into the bank account and the amount going out. With gas and food prices continually rising, what steps do...

momoftwingles This is tricky...she does live away from home, but as someone else said, why is she home every weekend? I think if Mom (and dad?) are paying for college and the apartment then rules need to be followed while she's at home. If she is paying for school & housing...
