savvywriter Itis okay if you cannot write happy poems. The best poems are those that show true emotions. If Iwas you, i would not shwo your crush the poems, they might freak him out if he does not feel the same for you.

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 16 Jan 07

Many people will shop at 3 or 4 different grocery stores to get just what's on sale. Sometimes I'll do this if I have the time, but usually I pick the one that has the best sales for me and stick with that one. I try not to buy...

savvywriter A long time ago, I had named my grandma "nonnie". So you can either have your mom choose, wait until your daughter chooses, or since it is more of a big deal to your boyfriend, go with those names. Or maybe tell him that your daughter can call his parents...

savvywriter Personally, I have spanked my dog or thumped him on the nose for doing something bad. I think it is helpful. On the other spectrum, I do give my dog a lot of love. So when I do punish him, I think he realizes that it will not get him love and kisses. I think...
