Mother-In-Law Name Calling

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 30 Dec 07

What would you do if your mother-in-law called your daughters (ranging in age from 15 down to 6) "b*****s"? Is it ever alright to call children b*****s? I am totally beside myself at this behavior and now have lost all respect for...

SimplyMe This is totally new behavior for her. Our family has had a tough year (all of us), and my father-in-law died in April. She has been saying weird things to my six year old like: "I wish I were dead so I could see Grandpa." I didn't like that either. I thought...

Have you seen Sandra Bullock's new movie, Premonition?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 16 Mar 07

I just saw it this afternoon. I liked it. It was a little difficult to follow because the main character's (Sandra's character)days were all out of order. I would have liked to have some things explained better, but I like Sandra,...

SimplyMe Please let me know what you think of it after you have seen it! Maybe you will get something out of it that I missed. Sandra is great in it and I am not biased because she is the same age as I am and everyone always says that "older" women don't get good movie...

Why do gasoline prices change so quickly and vary so much?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 13 Mar 07

The other day I was driving my daughter to preschool and checked the price of gasoline at various stations along the way. By the time I had dropped her off and started back the way I came, the price of a gallon of gas rose 20...

SimplyMe I have heard that as an excuse too, but why in Texas? I can understand the weather formula bit here in Indiana, but Texas? It really just sounds like a lame explanation. Not only that, but they have been processing gasline for many, many years; don't you think...

SimplyMe I think that is part of it, but if we are about to run out, shouldn't scientists and car makers be working feverishly to find a better way to fuel our vehicles? Seems to me everyone is dragging their feet on this.

How many stay at home moms have degrees?

harmoniebreeze @harmoniebreeze (246) • United States 25 Jan 07

Of course after oprah my girlfriend and I were talking about how I have a B.A. Degree and am currently staying at home to raise my kids. Of course if I worked then we would have a much bigger house and we would probably take more...

SimplyMe You know, that is like me. Sometimes I think, what are they doing that I'm not? But then again, if their kids are sick, they have to scramble to figure out what to do. I get to go to all my kids ball games and plays and spelling bees and the like, so while...

Anyone out there collect old hand tools?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 23 Jan 07

My husband has a large collection of planes, chisels, wooden clamps, and other hand tools. He likes them, but honestly, I just don't get the attraction. What tools do you collect and why?

SimplyMe You sound a lot like my husband. He doesn't display his tools because they don't really go with my decor. He also uses his tools and sometimes thinks they do a better job than modern ones. My grandfather was a carpenter, so I have a couple of his tools, but my...

SimplyMe Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. He seems to be caring about Claire, but almost evil with everyone else? What about the mom with dogs? What's up with her?

What do you think about the abducted Missouri boy being on Oprah?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 19 Jan 07

It seems a little odd to me to have the boy on Oprah when he has only been home for a few days and hasn't even discussed what happened to him with his parents. It seems to me that the parents first concern should be taking care of...

SimplyMe I agree with you. I was wondering if the parents got money for being on the show, and maybe they needed the money to afford all the therapy he will need in the years to come. Honestly, if they needed it and Oprah really wanted to be the good person she...

Does Anyone Here Play Volleyball?

IdahoGirl @IdahoGirl (27) • United States 31 Dec 06

I am a 50+ female, and I play power volleyball at least one a week. This is a great way to have fun while staying in shape. It doesn't require running (like basketball, which I hate!) and it's relatively easy to learn the basic...

Will a new president in the United States change the way other nations view us?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 29 Dec 06

In two years the U.S. will be electing an new president. I think Americans are getting extremely frustrated about how the world views us and is ready to elect someone radically different from Bush. Do you think a new president,...
