rhettaa I really don't think couples should have that many children, no. If people want more than three or four children there are so many kids in the world who desperately need homes and families. Of course, in the case of multiple births, then a couple might have as...

I have heard this said many times but I've never known anybody that did it or had it done to them before today. A friend has done it she revealed and I wondered how many others there are that have succumbed to a mouthsoaping.

rhettaa I don't buy pirated DVDs. As for CDs, I don't buy them either, but if there were recordings of some rare older live stuff, I can't say I wouldn't be tempted to buy that.

rhettaa Sure. I've actually thought about doing this. I think my life would make an interesting story, though some names would have to be changed to protect the not so innocent. But I don't know who would buy it, since I'm not famous. Maybe if my new book T'ain't...

rhettaa I remember some of that, too. My parents didn't get a color television until the late 60's! My cousins and I were forced to play outside until dark when I stayed with my aunt while my mother and father worked. I hated it, and as soon as I was old enough to...

rhettaa Children need guidelines, and they need to know that there are consequences to their actions, good and bad. I think it is very possible to be strict with a child without being harsh. Let them know up front what the rules are and why, and what the consequences...

Bethany1202 @Bethany1202 (3431) • United States 8 Jul 08

Most of us like modern hits, today's popular songs, but soemtimes I like to revert back in time and listen to 80s music, and sometimes 70s music as well. I like quite a mix of music, but it's still good to change things up...

rhettaa I listen to 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, even a little 90's, right up to today. These days I mostly only listen to alternative and punk, and very little pop music, so for pop, it's back to the past for me.

rhettaa Um..men didn't usually carry smelling salts; just the women. That was mainly because of the corsets they wore, which caused them to be unable to take a deep breath, so they were easily overcome. In the South, men certainly didn't wear full suits in their...
