would you be upset if...

squaretile @squaretile (3778) • Singapore 13 Dec 09

... your friend asked for an expensive christmas present when she was only going to buy you a cheap one? Well, what happened is a few of us asked what each other would like. So my friend said a magazine subscription, which...

prettypinkbug I would find it rude that my friend even asked me for something in particular unless I asked. But, asking what people want takes the fun out of it. I would not buy my friend a magazine subscription that cost 100 dollars. That's ridiculous! You don't ask...

What is your favorite "poor mans meal?"

chelsgrrl69 @chelsgrrl69 (382) • United States 13 Dec 09

Sometimes, when we have not been grocery shopping or do not have the money for a whole lot of groceries to last for two weeks [between paychecks] we will have to look in the kitchen and throw some random meals together. It sounds...

prettypinkbug If I had to choose one thing that is our poor man's meal it would be Ramen even though my kids would eat it any time. I do alot of cooking at home, and make meals for very little anyway. Spaghetti is also a poor man's meal for us because we always have sauce...

Do you own a Television?

evydabest @evydabest (197) • Malta 13 Dec 09

Hello mylotters! So i was just wondering if you owned a tele. This might be a dumb question but up until 20 years ago, it wasn't that fashionable to have a television. Anyway, so my question may seem rather stupide, and it may be...

prettypinkbug Yes, I have a TV. We have a 61" in the living room and a 27" in the kids' playroom. We watch movies and episodes on them as well as educational movies. I honestly think my husband couldn't live without it some times. LOL!! I like having the TV, but I don't...

Would you still stay in touch with your freinds if Facebook didn't exist?

ruchimom @ruchimom (280) • Australia 13 Dec 09

prettypinkbug Honestly, without Facebook I would not stay connected with some of my "friends." I would still like to though. I don't just accept friend requests from strangers, just those that I would like to stay connected with. I am really happy that it is there though. I...

Please don't touch my child

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 23 Feb 09

I was at my grandmother's nursing home the other day and was standing there talking to a few people in the hallway. One of the residents there saw me and my son standing there. As she walked by she patted my sons hair. Now I know...

prettypinkbug I know what you mean, but I understand the little old lady's side as well. He was probably so cute she couldn't resist. I bet I can make you cringe though with my story. While shopping with my sleeping daughter who was about 1, an old lady came up to us and...

Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

hdjohnson @hdjohnson (2981) • United States 22 Feb 09

St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon. When I was a child, they would have the parade a few blocks from where we lived. So it was easy to get involved in the parade celebrations. A lot of the kids we get the little green hats or...

prettypinkbug I have never really "celebrated" St. Patrick's Day. Since my childhood I have worn green on that day but only so I wouldn't get pinched. Now my kids do the same thing every year. I do have Irish ancestry, but have never really celebrated this day.

Do you know your credit score (FICO)?

Bethany1202 @Bethany1202 (3431) • United States 23 Feb 09

Do you know your credit/FICO score? Do you ever check out your credit report? My score is now 716 but I am trying to raise it. My boyfriend and I want to buy a house. Soon (in the next 3-4 months) I will have my car paid off, so...

prettypinkbug Congrats Bethany. That's a good score. Most people I know (my parents being the exception) have pretty low scores, around the 600s. My husband and I check our score about 2 to 3 times a year. I was paying for a service for a while, but got tired of paying 10...

What would you do?

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 23 Feb 09

Let's say you are in a store minding your own business. As you are looking at some clothing to purchase you see a woman and her child near you. The child has a backpack on. Her mother makes her open the backpack up and the mother...

prettypinkbug I agree with what some others have said. I would just let the woman know that I see her either by saying something like "what kind of example are you setting" or just giving her a good stare. It's true that prices do go up in stores because of theft, but I...

Do you easily forgive?

cheekaboo @cheekaboo (28) • Philippines 17 Feb 09

I can say I easily forgive unless it's something really unforgivable... but I don't forget.

prettypinkbug I am the type of person that holds grudges. I don't forgive that easily. It's not because I don't want to though. Sometimes I truly want to forgive, and I may say to that person that I have forgiven them. But, deep down I really haven't. I know it's hard.

prettypinkbug I am exactly the same way. When my husband and I go out without our kids and leave them with my parents, we miss them like crazy. It's almost like we don't know what to do without them. We worry too much as well. And, usually we bring them a toy too. I think...

I'm sick

cripfemme @cripfemme (7698) • United States 17 Feb 09

Everyone I know is sick. I feel like I've been run over by a Ford pickup. All I want to do is sleep, but my doctor says I can't until 10pm so I'm keeping myself busy here. Is everyone you know sick too? Is this a country wide...

prettypinkbug I hope you went to bed. I don't see any reason to stay up if you are tired. You don't function well when you are that tired, and if you are sick, you need the rest. I'm no doctor, but rest is good for a sick body. My goodness, I can't believe your doctor told...

Are you hesitate to mark best responses for your discussions?

ktosea @ktosea (2026) • China 17 Feb 09

prettypinkbug I haven't been on here in a while, but before I was hesitant about marking best responses too quickly. I think every discussion response needs to be considered for a best response mark, but not too quickly. I like to give everyone ample time to respond.

prettypinkbug I can't remember how many times I have seen this movie. It really is a good one. The cast is great, and who doesn't like a Christmas movie? It's one of those feel good movies. I'm glad to see someone else likes to watch Christmas movies even when it's not...

Would you tag you children the way people do their pets??

cinderella2007 @cinderella2007 (2662) 17 Jul 08

I was thinking early how people microchip their pets and thats fine but if we were allowed to microchip our children would that be fine aswell?? I mean if your child got lost, we would be able to scan the microchip and find out...

prettypinkbug I think this is a great idea. It protects the child somewhat and that is a responsibility of being a parent. Sure kids need their independence and some freedoms, but they are still children. I don't see how this would take any of that away from them. Why...

Your Catchphrase

Amber @AmbiePam (94045) • United States 18 Jul 08

prettypinkbug I have caught myself saying this word at the end of sentences, but my friend and her mom are really bad about saying it too. We say "so". It's usually when they have run out of things to say in a conversation. Especially if we are on the phone. If she has...

Has your doctor been wrong before?

zeloguy @zeloguy (4911) • United States 17 Jul 08

Have you ever diagnosed yourself and have your doctor disagree with you and then have tests come back confirming what you thought in the first place? I have had this happen THREE different times. Most recently I passed...

prettypinkbug Yes, I too have had this happen. Without the knowledge of test answers, you know your body better than your doctor. That's why they are 'practicing' medicine. They don't know everything and only go by what you tell them, and then by what the tests tell them....
