sandra966 Yeah I heard this too. I was really upset. I taped the news and showed it to my 8 year old the following day, and she was so upset she had tears in her eyes! I think he has been the best one so far, and like someone just mentioned they've done a...

Similar names

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 23 Oct 08

I know two sisters and they are called Marie-Ann and Ann-Marie. I think that the names are too similar and confusing. Would you call your older child one name and your younger child a very similar name? Have you got names that...

sandra966 I know a family who named their twin daughters Kirsty and Kristy. How mad is that? Now not only do they have the same birth date, but their initial is the same, and almost their name is the same. I think this will cause them a lot of trouble in the...

sandra966 I think $10 is fine too. To be honest, I think it's quite low. I haven't got to it yet, and I've been on for a few months, but I have a survey site, which I have to get 1000 points before I get a pay out which is usually about £30. I only do this when...

How many mommies to infants or toddlers work from home?

delmeg10 @delmeg10 (112) • United States 25 Oct 08

I am a mommy to an infant and I've been trying so long to find a work at home job that I can do around a crying infant. I was just wondering how many mommies out there actually have a work at home job that they are able to do...

sandra966 It's hard - isn't it? It's like the million dollar question. When I had my first daughter, I started doing a catalogue delivery - it was called Betterware and gave quite good commissions. I took my daughter with me, and the pram held the catalogues! I...

livvy252003 @livvy252003 (178) • United States 24 Oct 08

I was just wondering if anyone had any neat ideas for fall crafts with the kids or links to somewhere that might be useful. It's pumpkin carving time in our house, and I would like to do something unique and fun!!

sandra966 We're not into Halloween much in our house, but last year at the school, for smaller kids, instead of pumpkins, they used red peppers - which they cut with scissors. Also they used the innards of some of the pumpkins and hid sweets in it (with wrappers on)....

Missing her grandma

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 25 Oct 08

My daughter got kind of emotional today. Her grandma, my mom, passes away in 2004 and she was kind of missing her and wishing she had had a chance to get to know her better. So I e-mailed all the relatives and asked them to share...

sandra966 I think that was just a stunning idea. I'm very lucky that my grandmother is still alive, and my children know her quite well. My cousin's granddad just died last week, and she is currently pregnant with her first child. I feel so sad that her child will...

Increase your star rating.

Angra_Mainyu @Angra_Mainyu (377) • United States 25 Oct 08

Increasing our star rating is something many of us would like to do. In order to achieve this we must give each other the +. Many of us forget about it or don't think it is necessary. However it is. We must stick together if we...

sandra966 I know it sounds dumb, but what's the point? If it's 5 (like mine) or 10 - does it matter? I often forget to rate the responses, sometimes I don't have time, I'm sure that's the case for most of us - hurrying to start discussions or reply. For the first...

Do you have (and use?) locks on your bedroom doors?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 5 Oct 08

Did your house come this way, did you install them yourself, or do you not have them at all? Are they the sort you can jimmy open with a knife, screwdriver, or do you have keys? Did you disable or remove the ones on your kids'...

Do you tell your salary to anyone?

ajaxian @ajaxian (94) • Hong Kong 8 Oct 08

sandra966 I never tell anyone my salary - except my husband. Not even my mum knows. At my husband's work, they all know each other's salary - and they are usually different to each other. I don't think that is healthy. If you're not sure of how much other people earn...

sandra966 I always used to close the door, then when I had kids, we just all seemed to use the loo together at the same time, so didn't bother closing the door, unless we were using public loos! When the house is empty, I leave it open, so that I can hear if the dog...

sandra966 Yep, we wear shoes (flip flops, sandals, trainers, shoes or boots) outside, but as soon as we come in, we change into slippers. It is very rare for me to wear slippers outside - I have only done it on two occasions; the first was when I just wanted to put...

Is there any one else out there who has been wondering about the ghost dog that used to show up and protect Melinda? I was hoping to find out more about him.

sandra966 Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about him. He was around for a while, and then you didn't get to see him anymore. Did he go into the 'light'? I'm sure she said when he was around, that she couldn't cross him over, so he should still be with her - but he isn't....
