Herb Bed

serialmommy @serialmommy (639) • United States 8 Apr 13

I have an area of my yard that I'll be digging up to plant my herbs. It's near the front walk, gets plenty of sun, and is in the path for run off of water when it rains. I am hoping that the herbs will grow better than they have...

We still haven't gotten our federal taxes back yet.. they've been delayed because we're claiming education credits due to being in school. The IRS finally just accepted them yesterday so we will get them back in another couple...

serialmommy Personally I think that having the set amount is a good idea. They can't get iPods, but so what? Is that something they really need? Would that extra $100 per kid that you don't spend come in handy later in the year when they suddenly grow and need new clothes...

College Education

Harriet Steinberg @Happielady85 (384) • United States 14 Feb 13

Although I graduated from college and became a teacher, I think too much emphasis is placed on the fact that it is important to graduate from college in order to get a good job. There are lots of high paying jobs that do not...

serialmommy As the recent economy has shown us, having a college degree does not guarantee a good job and financial success and stability. While many say that it is a must, I disagree. My husband has a degree. He's never held a job for what his degree is for. It's never...

Michael J. Fox and son....

ctryhnny @ctryhnny (3460) • United States 18 Jan 13

Michael has always been a favorite of mine even after he got sick and seldom appeared anywhere. He's made some awesome movies and is involved in helping to find a cure for Parkinsons disease which he has. Now he's in the news...

serialmommy I totally understand why he is upset about it. Not only is she known for dating quite a few guys and then breaking up with them, she then writes songs about them! In my opinion, the reason she can't find love has nothing to do with the guys, but with herself!...

When Will BBC-America Break Open the Vaults & Play the Old Original DOCTOR WHOs?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 27 Jul 12

I'm sure (because I've heard, but not seen) that the old DOCTOR WHO is 'disappointing' (at least concerning special-effects, if not for less-clever writing ... I dunno); But can't BBC-America trust that some of its...

serialmommy With the rising popularity of Doctor Who in the States, Netflix has started putting the classic Doctor episodes on streaming. So if you can't watch them in another way, you can get them that way.

Why Are Amy & Rory "the Ponds" & Not 'the Williamses'?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 29 Sep 12

I mean, even the BBC-A announcer referred to them as "the Ponds"---it's not just The Doctor who does it!

serialmommy Not to mention that it also makes it (even though it'd still be the case) that The Doctor is now related to Amy & Rory through their daughter, River Song. He's now a Pond, just like the rest of them. On a related note, has anyone else noticed that Amy & Rory...

serialmommy There is an episode shortly after Amy and Rory got married where The Doctor was talking to Rory and called him Mr. Pond. Rory responded with "It doesn't work that way" The Doctor grinned and they both said "Yes, it does" That's why they are the Ponds. Just...

serialmommy It really depends on what kind of family you mean. For my husband and kids we are together all of the time. For our extended family, we don't see them often. Honestly, we really don't want to. Our families (on both sides) really annoy us. They don't approve of...

Disappointed

poppoppop111 @poppoppop111 (5731) • Canada 16 Jan 13

I didn't get the house I put an offer in for. Really disappointed. The realtor is advising me not to up my offer. She is asking way over the assessed value and my realtor is advising me it's a bad move to over pay for this...

serialmommy Depending on how much over the assessed value the price is you may not be able to get approved for a loan. Your realtor has the right idea. What was it about the house that you loved so much? Take the good things about the house, make a list of them, and keep...

Writing English is so.. Ominous.

McCreeper @McCreeper (777) • United States 16 Jan 13

English has been and will remain to be my second language since the day I was born. Learning a language is much easier when there's enough people speaking the same language, and through progress I learned a bit of Chinese as well...

serialmommy Honestly people who's only language is English have a hard time writing well with English. It's one of the hardest things that young children who are learning to write have to do. It's easier to learn math than all of the rules and idiosyncrasies of the...

clv1984 @clv1984 (59) • United States 16 Jan 13

serialmommy I'm really reluctant to allow my daughter to wear make up. Of coarse I am not one to wear make up that often at all. I let her wear lip gloss, but that is it. I don't see the need for her to wear anything else. She is a beautiful young lady (at almost 11) and...

Would you tell your child?

leateagee @leateagee (3667) • China 7 Nov 12

serialmommy I don't understand why you wouldn't tell the child. Everyone searches for who they are, and part of that is knowing where they, and their family came from. I know that in the past it was the norm to not tell a child they were adopted, however that has changed...

serialmommy I listen to music for a variety of reasons. I may enjoy what I'm listening to. I use it to help relax. I listen when I want to keep going and the upbeat rhythm can help with that. If I were to lose my hearing, I think what I would miss most is being able to...
