If you had to choose to save either your mom's or dad's life, who'd you choose?

dimplesnlaughs @dimplesnlaughs (835) • United States 15 May 07

This question came across my mind one day and it is rather difficult for me to choose who I would save. I still can't answer that question. Have you ever thought about this question and who would you rather save?

sapphirencotton Wow that is a really tough question! I don't think I could answer that. I love both of my parents so much. Both have contributed so much to the person I am today. I'm sorry, I can't answer that for you.

sapphirencotton @sapphirencotton (69) • United States 15 May 07

I use my handle alot and actually have a web page explaining it! When I met my husband online I was just leaving a role play chat room and had a fantasy name for my handle. I wanted something more mundane for my chats with him. He...

My son is attached to his dad's hip, or so he thinks

rosaflorence @rosaflorence (1924) • United States 15 May 07

My step-son is always going everywhere that my husband goes. He is six almost seven years old. I don't mind him wanting to go everywhere with his dad but sometimes we would like a moment alone. When I say that he wants to...

sapphirencotton My daughters are really clingy with their step-dad too. Their real dad was a jerk to me and slept most of the time, so they never knew what a real dad was like til my husband entered our lives. It's hard sometimes, because I can't sit next to him on the couch...

why is it hard to be happy for someone else?

lloydbelleza @lloydbelleza (1227) • Philippines 15 May 07

i always hear that line, "just be happy for her", but i cant be happy because my heart bleeds seeing her with someone else.. i cant be happy when i know im sad. i cant fake my emotions. or should i? i know in myself that i...

1 response

sapphirencotton I don't think you should fake emotions. You need time to grieve. Give yourself some time and distance from her until you can come to terms with your pain and sadness. When the pain has lessened, try again and see if you can see past your own pain and see that...

wsue1023 @wsue1023 (1395) • United States 15 May 07

If so, what brand do you use? I'm new to this and looking for a good product that won't damage my hair.

sapphirencotton I colored my own hair for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I used Clairol Medium Ash Blonde. I did it to cover up the grey. Previously my mother would color my hair for me. She's a trained beautician. I did it myself this time because we recently moved...

When is the right time to potty train?

rosaflorence @rosaflorence (1924) • United States 15 May 07

sapphirencotton Every child is different. My oldest potty trained at 2. My youngest didn't potty train until 3. She just wasn't ready before then. Your child will give you clues when they are ready. Sounds like she is and you are reading her very well. Try potty training now...

do you sing while taking a bath?

arsonizta @arsonizta (944) • Philippines 15 May 07

There is a superstition here in the Philippines that if you're singing while taking a bath, your voice will be beatuful.

3 responses

sapphirencotton I sometimes sing in the shower. I love to sing. I sing while driving down the road as well. I think that is a beautiful superstition. We have nothing like that that I know of in the states. The bathroom does have different accoustics from other rooms in the...

sapphirencotton I do my own housework. It would be nice to have a maid because I have allergies and my hands are very rough from it. But I cannot afford at this time to do that. Maybe in the future when the kids are a bit older and I am working full time again.

sapphirencotton Oh my yes I hate it when I make a typo and don't realize it until after I have hit submit. One word can make or break someone else's comprehension of your post. It would be nice to have some kind of edit feature.

sapphirencotton This is kinda funny because recenty I got a puppy and she does things that remind me of a cat. She chases bugs and eats them and likes to sit in the window sill. I've never seen a cat chase it's tail before. That is odd. Do you have toys for the cat to play...

sapphirencotton I don't think this is a smug line of B.S. People really feel this about their children. For you it may be something else. It's a personal choice. If someone is saying this to you just to hurt you, then they have a serious problem. No one should ever try to...

sapphirencotton I prefer my PC, but my daughter has a lap top. It was my husband's which he bought for himself, but his work gave him one to use so he gave that one to her. The laptop cost us around $1000, but that was a couple of years ago. I don't like the touch mouse pad...
