smalltowngirl This sounds good. I never used canned chicken, but it probably does make it more quick and easy. I'll have to try it.

Should it be illegal to sell cigarettes or alcohol to pregnant women?

thyst07 @thyst07 (2079) • United States 2 Mar 07

I started thinking about this at my job (I serve coffee). Often we get pregnant customers, and I wonder whether it's right for me to give them caffeine, because caffeine can harm an unborn baby. But then I got to thinking,...

smalltowngirl I don't think it should be illegal to sell those items to a pregnant woman. First of all, she will get them if she wants them. Second, what if she is buying them not for herself, but for someone else? I had that happen to me one time when I was pregnant. The...

If Only It Were This Easy!!

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28955) • Canada 26 Jan 07

I read this in the February edition of Reader's Digest, Canada. "The FDA approved the first ever transdermal patch for the treatment of depression," Tina Fay announced on Saturday Night Live. "Simply remove the backing, and...

smalltowngirl Oh my gosh, that was hilarious. Like the others, I too thought this was serious. It is really nice to know that other people feel the same about their mothers. The scariest part is knowing that my kids will grow up to feel the same way about me.

smalltowngirl Ummmm, that used to be the saying when I was in school when it came to middle school and high school boys grabbing the girls where they shouldn't or writing things on the bathroom or lockerroom walls. Finally, one smart girl wised up (oh I wish it were me)and...

smalltowngirl Wow, now that you bring this up, I did have pitocin, and experienced post partum depression in both cases. This time around, I have had terrible phobias, too. I'm just coming out of my depression and my baby is 7 months old. I never really thought of a...

When your children have a project for school, do you help with it?

gapeach65 @gapeach65 (805) • United States 25 Feb 07

I have always loved crafts and helping with projects. If my children have a project for school, as long as they do the bulk of the work, I will help tie it together. Like the fire, he had a group project, they had everything but...

smalltowngirl I'm going to take this from a different perspective. I've worked as a teacher's assistant, and I whenever projects came in, I could always tell which ones the parents worked on and which ones the child did alone. To me, it was difficult to fairly determine a...

My son wants to bleach his hair

seamonkey @seamonkey (1976) • Ireland 2 Mar 07

He plans on bleaching it as white as it will go as soon as school gets out. Personally, I have no problem with him doing this and think it will suit him. He is a good kid, and a polite boy, but he is concerned that the general...

smalltowngirl I don't have a problem with dying hair. I dyed my hair when I was in middle school, and continued to dye it. I know I was a girl, and some may see a difference, but why shouldn't boys be allowed to take care of their hair and make it look good if they want to?...

Have You Communicated With Deceased Loved Ones?

coolchic101 @coolchic101 (848) • United States 27 Feb 07

Have you ever communicated with loved ones that passed away? Usually they appear to you in dreams as their way of communicating with you. My grandma dreamt of her boyfriend when she was 20 years old. He was wearing white in her...

smalltowngirl One time after my grandmother passed away, I believe she said something to me. I wasn't sure if it was just a thought of my own, but I really feel like it was her. She said, "Everything is going to be ok." It sounded like something she would say, too.

What Do You Think Of My Avatar?

coolchic101 @coolchic101 (848) • United States 1 Mar 07

Guess how old the baby is in my avatar on the right? Also, what do you think of the pic?

5 responses

smalltowngirl I think the baby is adorable. My guess would be about eight months old. I have a seven and a half month old right now. He's cutting three teeth already. Your picture was beautiful.

smalltowngirl I was worried about that. I will try to think positive and go with the idea that maybe when I do go to a real practioner, I will be more receptive to the energies.

smalltowngirl I bought a DVD and was attuned through that, since time and distance are not an issue with Reiki. I have noticed changes already and have been working on my family, as well. However, I was wondering if an attunement in person would be even more powerful. Also,...
