What are your favorite games on King.com?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 21 Jul 07

I'm a new member and somewhat of an addict - there are loads of games that I like. My current favorites are Word Link, Sudoku Sweep, Rainbow Rescue, Bejeweled 2 and Funny Farm. Some of them are just silly, but addictive...

What kind of knife does Bear Grylls use on Man vs. Wild?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 21 Jul 07

My husband and I are in love with this show, and he desperately wants a knife just like the one that Bear uses - but we haven't been able to see a name brand or find any info online about what kind of knife it is. Does anyone have...

When are you due?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 2 Jul 07

If you're currently expecting, when is your baby due? Do you know yet whether you're having a boy or a girl, or will you be surprised? I'm due November 27 with our second little girl. :)

What are you craving (or did you crave) during pregnancy?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 2 Jul 07

With my first daughter, I craved peaches - although they never agreed with me - and school pizza (remember the kind they serve in wedges in school cafeterias? Yeah, you can't find them ANYWHERE when you really, really want...

I just can't imagine...

I just read the story of Madeleine McCann in last week's issue of People, then read a bit more online. In case you haven't heard of her, Madeleine is a 3-year-old girl who was abducted from her family's ground-floor room in a...

Looking for free diaper soaker and longies patterns...

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 14 May 07

Does anyone know where to find patterns for diaper soakers and/or longies online? I'd love to start knitting a few for our baby-to-be so I have a decent supply by the time s/he arrives. Also, where to find nice color combos...

Has anyone used Happy Phonics or Sing, Spell, Read & Write?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 14 May 07

I'm debating between these two curriculums for phonics/beginning reading - has anyone out there used either Happy Phonics or Sing, Spell, Read & Write? If you've used either, please share your thoughts on them - what did you love,...

Hand-held video games?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 14 May 07

I'm thinking of getting my husband some sort of hand-held video game system for Father's Day - but I have NO idea which one is best. Heck, I don't even know who all makes them - I think Nintendo has one, but that's where my...

I need to resize a knitting pattern...but how?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 2 Apr 07

I found out today that my good friend's baby-on-the-way is a girl, and I have a pattern for a darling sweater I'd love to make for her. Only thing is, the smallest size on the pattern is six months, and I need more like a three...

Is there anyone else out there named Kristin?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 21 Mar 07

I can't be the only one! :) If you're a Kristin too, how about adding your name to your interests under "roles" so we can all find each other? (Not a bad idea for everyone, for that matter!)

We just bought a new table! What kind do you have?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 21 Mar 07

I'm waiting for our new table to be delivered, sometime in the next couple of hours. I'm so excited - we had a small, square table with only four chairs, and it was beginning to be a real pain whenever we invited people over -...

Is an early positive on a pregnancy test usually a good sign?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 19 Mar 07

With my daughter, I didn't get a positive pregnancy test until I was a day late. This time, the test turned positive four days early. Is a dark line on the test so early on a good sign? (Or is it just wishful thinking on my...

Has anyone written their own knitting patterns? I want to make these SO badly!

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 19 Mar 07

I am absolutely in love with a pair of knitted Mary Janes that were in last October's issue of Child magazine. They're made by a French company called Baghere, and were listed at an incredible $65 per pair! No way I could (or...

How do you add pictures to your posts?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 19 Mar 07

I see tiny pictures attached to posts all the time, and I can't for anything figure out how to do it. I thought it was something you could only do once you'd reached the 500-post mark, but lately I've seen lots of posts with...

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 19 Mar 07

...your next pregnancy? I had a m/c in October, just a day after I learned that I was pregnant. Now, I'm pregnant again - it's very, very early, barely four weeks. Of course I'm dying to tell my family and friends, but I'm so...

What did you / do you call your baby during pregnancy?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 16 Mar 07

It's so hard to avoid referring to your baby as "it" during early pregnancy when you don't know whether baby is a he or a she - so what did you call your baby instead? We had names picked out for our daughter before she was...

How much sleep do you need?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 16 Mar 07

On an average night, how many hours of sleep do you try to get to feel well-rested the next day? Do you wake up feeling rested and ready to go, or do you always feel like you need just a few more minutes?

Is there a way to organize your friends list on MyLot?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 15 Mar 07

On MySpace, you can move your friends around and put them in any order you want to - is it possible to do that here on MyLot and I've just overlooked it?

Have you watched "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader"? What did you think?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 15 Mar 07

We hadn't watched it before tonight, but caught it while we were flipping channels. I was just dumbfounded by the lady that *wasn't sure* what country was just to the north of the U.S. She asked the fifth grader. And then she told...

Did you list your name under "roles I play in life" in your interests?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 15 Mar 07

I noticed that one of my MyLot buddies did this, so I added my name to that area of my interests list too. So far, I'm the only Kristin. Have you added your name to your "roles" list yet? :)
