My 6 year old wants his own email address. I am not sure it's a good idea. I was thinking that with supervision and only giving his email address to family and close friends, maybe it would be a good learning experience for him....

Sillychick It would be for him to send and receive messages with family and friends. He eventually will have to learn, and I will have to teach him about safety- not giving out his email address, not opening emails from unknown addresses, etc.

So, it's been quite a while since I've logged in to mylot, and the $7+ I remember having is gone. How long do you have to be gone for them to take it, and is there any way to get it back? Plus, now you have to click through all...

Sillychick Bummer. Not sure I have the time to be a serious earner, but it may be fun to check in from time to time anyway. Thanks!

I have gone through all of the books I've had forever, and finally read them all. Now I'm looking for something new to read. I generally like Stephen King, Nicholas Sparks, and lots of stuff in between. Have you read any good...

Authors love reviews, unless they're bad. Sometimes bad reviews are just someone's opinion though. Have you read an awful, badly written book? Was the author well-known? What made it so un-enjoyable? Do you enjoy a book that is...

Sillychick the worst book i ever read was called criminal justice (i'm pretty sure) and I don't remember who the author was, but i think he was pretty well known. It was poorly written because it just didn't flow, very hokey, unrealistic dialogue. the story line was ok,...

I have been struggling with this for a long time. I stayed home with my son for 3 years, then went back to work. Now he is 5 and in kindergarten, and I see how difficult it is for him. He goes to daycare before and after school,...

Sillychick that's true. I could do things like get back into writing like I used to for a little extra money. I was even considering a part time job while he is in school to take some of the financial burden off of my husband.

Sillychick You're right, I have to make my own decision. But hearing from the perspective of you as a child, and what it meant to you, certainly helps to make my decision easier. I have pretty much already decided to stay home, but am worried that maybe it is the wrong...

Sillychick You're right, I am blessed to have the option. Although it won't be easy, I feel that it would be worth the sacrifices we would have to make. Thank you.

My one year eight month old daughter still doesn't speak words. But sometimes she mumbles to herself and speaks baby talk, like words she only understands. When do you thins i the time I should consult a speech therapist or a...

Sillychick I would bring it up to her doctor at her next visit, but I wouldn't bring her to the doctor specifically for this. All children are different and start to do things at different ages. Talk to her often, in a regular voice, not baby talk. Name objects, read...

With so many other social networks, why did you choose Facebook? Do you have a fan page? Has Facebook helped you advertise your business, book, short stories or whatever it is you are networking for? If you have a huge following,...

Sillychick I chose facebook because there are so many people there it is a great way to connect with people and for fan pages, to spread the word... there may be other pages that work also, but I have found that it is easier to keep up when I use just one, and that...

Sillychick I agree to an exent... it is sad to see these long standing shows being cancelled. Though I rarely have time to watch, I do occasionally, usually on Soap Net. I will miss it. But it is true that they are really just repeating the same lines with different...

Sillychick I definitely suggest going to another bank, and even better the credit union that doesn't have a branch near you. You will be able to access your money, it's not out of reach forever, but the fact that it's a little more difficult means you'll be less likely...

Ok, I know that since the beginning of time I have been told that once a frozen food is thawed it cannot be refrozen. My question is-- Why? What happens to it? Does this go for all foods, or just uncooked meats? Any answers?

Sillychick Yes, I think all mothers feel this way from time to time. Although sometimes it may make you feel guilty, it is natural to feel that you need a break. I would try to find someone to take the baby for a couple of hours while the older one is at school and do...
