ponygirl Don't sit on it. Talk to her now. It takes 2 to screw up a relationship and she wouldn't be cheating unless you guys are screwed up. My husband cheated in the beginning of our relationship. He was an idiot, afraid to commit. We talked it out, saved our...

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 4 Jan 07

What your avatar says about you.

Ashida @Ashida (1370) • United States 31 Dec 06

What does your avatar reveal about you. if you're a guy with a female avatar, why did you pick that? If a picture says a thousand words, what does your picture say about you?

ponygirl This is a tough one. If you can afford it be really picky and pay your sitter very well. Often younger girls will accept the work and then not be attentive if they feel they are being taken advantage of. For me, I never let anyone but family watch the kids and...

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 3 Nov 06

ponygirl Just a couple times a week is better, especially for someone like me with a bottle red job, its better for my scalp and hair color to wash it less. I find it styles alot better now too, not being constantly stripped of it natural oils.

ponygirl A homade gift is the best thing you could ever receive. Useful or not, when you look at this gift, you see the time and effort someone put into pleasing you. Nothing is more important than that.
