Your take on the flu shots and other immunizations please...

PeacefulWmn9 @PeacefulWmn9 (10420) • United States 16 Oct 09

In the US, we are encouraged to get our infants their first immunizations when they are a few months old, and these continue until all the available ones have been received. They protect against polio, diptheria,...

ptty55 I am afraid to allow my kids to take the H1N1 shot. It seems to be rushed onto the market, without properly testing it for side effects. I am a little concerned that is just a government placebo, to keep the masses less excitable if this flu reaches epidemic...

ptty55 I could live without coffee, but those around me might not! I am a serious coffee drinker. I do have my daily limit though. If I drink more than four in an 8 hour cycle, I will start to fell ill.

ptty55 Hi bookreadermom. I love to be home on stormy winter days. There is something comforting sitting all toasty warm inside, watching the snow swirl around outside. If I had my wish, I would never have to venture off to work or run errands. I would love to just...

PeacefulWmn9 @PeacefulWmn9 (10420) • United States 7 Oct 09

You are the head of your country, whether that be president, king or queen, prime minister, whatever the head in your land is known as. Can you imagine this? The responsibility and pressures? Think of all the...

ptty55 If I was Prime Minister of Canada I think the worst part of the job would be lack of privacy. Everything you do or say is under the microscope of the news media when you are in a power position. The first thing I would tackle would be hunger. Not third world...

PeacefulWmn9 @PeacefulWmn9 (10420) • United States 20 Aug 09

Hello all. I remember loving to read or be read to in my young years, and I always did the same when my children were young: read to them and make all kinds of books available to them as they grew. I remember...

ptty55 Thanks for taking down memory lane PeacefulWmn9. I loved Nancy Drew books. I also enjoyed anything by Agatha Christie. I will always remember the Christmas I received The Lennon Sisters book. I think there was only one adventure in this series.

ptty55 My weight is always on my mind. I can lose it by walking and drinking tons of water. The problem is after a few months it all comes back. I have not discovered anything that has worked to keep it off for good. If I keep walking everyday for a year maybe it...

I think I am going to be able to keep my stars this month on Helium.

mommaj @mommaj (23112) • United States 20 Sep 09

If I can keep my stars this month, I might actually earn some money for writing articles. All I can say is, it is about time. I would like to make a little cash from Helium since I have been writing a little on there. I know I...

ptty55 I love writing on Helium, but those stars are my nemesis. If I could forget they exist I might actually be able to write more articles. Since they introduced the first 5 to write rule, it is very hard to keep hold of my stars. I am hoping to reach that elusive...

ptty55 I wish I could offer you some great advice crOssf41r13, but I am a total You Tube fanatic. It keeps me from doing anything productive while I am on-line. I can't resist checking out new videos. I have it on speed-dial! The only thing that keeps me from my...

malamar @malamar (779) • Canada 1 Oct 09

ptty55 I would be completely happy with my life if I do not out-live my children. Everything else in my life is fleeting. The love I have for my children goes beyond description.

lovelyn_medrano @lovelyn_medrano (3070) • Philippines 9 Oct 09

ptty55 Hate is a strong word. I don't enjoy my job. When I was young, I had so many career dreams and none of them happened. I can't blame anyone but myself for this situation. My current job is just that, a job. It is a non-stimulating means to an end. I don't look...

ptty55 I have never escaped...but I have thought about it many times. On those days that life becomes just too hard, I often threaten to walk out the door. I don't know if I have the nerve to actually do it. As a daydream, it seems like a great idea. Run away, change...
