I think that most people have a tv..how long could you go with out it. Do you think it's a necessity?I got rid of my tv and find that I am doing more things then I use to. The decision to get rid of this is when I had a friend...

shovmama I went without a TV all summer, not willingly, and let me tell you it's not easy! Ours died (ok, we got ONE channel) and you don't realize how much you miss it until it's gone. We couldn't even watch the news! People would ask if we saw such and such and it...

About a month ago, I took a mini-vacation from My Lot to pursue other better paying opportunities online. And, so far it's paid off. The other opportunities don't take too much time out of my schedule, but they pay much better...

shovmama First of all, I was wondering what it is you are doing to make money online? I am a housewife in desperate need of making some real money from home as getting a "real job" is just not possible for the time being. As for your question, if it were me, I would...

My belief is that there are some women who are meant to be mothers, and some that learn to be mothers. Being a mother covers such a whole spectrum of roles and a massive learning experience for all involved. New mums grow with...

shovmama I don't think that all women are meant to be mothers, but I also think that childhood has a lot to do with it. When I was just barely 9, I was taking care of 2 newborns full time because my aunt was one that should not have had kids. She wasn't a "bad" mother,...

I've seen a lot of amazing (and weird) things in my life. But, I don't think I've ever seen a ghost. Some people say they are real. And, others say they are a figment of Hollywood. I don't know what's true. But, if I did ever...

shovmama How do you know there is no such thing? I believe 100% that there are. I've never seen a "ghost" as we know it, but I know I lived with one! For example, my old roommate & I were constantly arguing over the last piece of whatever food we had. If it was sitting...

I only have one child, but I hope to have more someday. My whole life, I've dreamt & daydreamt of having five or more children. I think it would be so much fun to have a big family! So much to do, and all the kids would have...

shovmama I am the only girl with 5 brothers. Unfortunately, I'm stuck right in the middle with 2 older, and 3 younger, and every one of them are bigger than me and always have been. I am a firm believer that NO girl should EVER have that many brothers. No girl should...

I am, and I always have someone asking me if I get bored. I wish I had time to get bored! It's the complete opposite for me. Somedays there just aren't enough hours in my day to get everything done. It seems I'm constantly in the...

I was just sitting here thinking about where I'm at in my life and got to thinking about the things that have happened in my life that put me here. Which led me to thinking about what got me to those points, which led me to...

Mine was out my front door in Colorado. A couple months ago, I just happened to look out my front window and saw the most incredible sunset I think I've ever seen. My camera is never far from me so I grabbed it and shot this...

Okay now, no attacking the innocent reader, but I read the first book only because my son's fourth grade teacher was reading it in class. I never had an interest to read the rest of the series. Neither did my son. Don't get me...

shovmama You're not the only one! I've never read any of them or seen the movies and just don't really have any desire to. My son on the other hand has read all of them and he loves them. 15 years ago, I would have but that phase is long gone.

About 1 1/2 years ago, my hubby and I were out and I was driving because he didn't have a license. Well, the plates on the car had expired the month before so we put a different month sticker on. We had also let the insurance go...

I must be the only female in the world that can't shop. In fact, I hate shopping. Stuff for my house, I can buy. Clothes, forget it. I was in desperate need of new clothes a while back and took $1000 to the mall. 9 hours later I...

shovmama I am the world's worst grocery shopper! Would rather shoot myself in the foot than ever go again. The last time I went, I had been there for 1 1/2 hrs and my hubby called. When I told him all I had was pop & bread, he told me to give it up and come home. He's...

shovmama I guess it just comes down to how well someone knows you! My best friend is so completely different from me, it's like night and day! But she knows me so well, she always gets stuff I'll wear.

shovmama LOL!! I am the same way! I absolutely HATE pink, red, yellow, blah blah blah. I live in jeans & (for the most part) black T-shirts. But I have no problem with my friend shopping for me. She knows EXACTLY what I will & won't wear and she has never bought...
