surfmonkey17 Living in Hawaii, I love to do any activity that gets me in the water: Surfing, Boogie boarding, snorkeling, swimming, etc. I also spend a lot of time just digging in the sand with my son. I also try to get out to jog/walk as much as I can, usually 2-3 times a...

surfmonkey17 Need to add it to our current shopping list. We are in Hawaii and use it all year long. My son and I have red hair and very fair skin, so we go through a ton of sunscreen. We also use SPF 50.

mikeley @mikeley (318) 6 May 09

Ive been thinking for a while now that i want a pet but not sure what i want cause most people have a cat,dog or something common like that. Which brings me to the idea of having a tamed wild animal as a pet. I would love to...

surfmonkey17 There is a reason why most people have dogs, cats, etc. There is no such thing as a "tame" wild animal. I have worked with animals including wild animals for most of my life. They are never completely tame and can never be truly trusted. Wild animals, in my...

surfmonkey17 I actually prefer money. Most of the time when my family gives me gifts, it is something I will never use and it either sits in the garage or gets sent to Goodwill and then I end up feeling incredibly guilty. Least with cash, I can use it for something I will...

I've been working as a transcriptionist for like a year now and it's doing well for me. I know that there are so many kinds of transcription types like medical, legal, general, business but I think this industry is getting weaker...

surfmonkey17 I am a medical transcriptionist and I don't see this being a lasting career. I like the work, but the pay continues to drop due to offshoring and VR. The market is also becoming saturated by new grads who are willing to work for less just so they can get their...

surfmonkey17 Last time I went to the zoo was about 6 months ago. My mom came out to visit and we took my son to the zoo in Hilo, HI. It is a small zoo and is free (although they do accept donations). It is a fun time and my son loves looking at all the animals. I think it...

surfmonkey17 I started taking my son to the zoo when he was about a year of age. I agree to bring stollers for both children as there is a lot of walking involved, although some zoos rent them if needed. We also bring sunscreen and hats. Finger foods is a great idea. We...

Did you want to know the gender of you babies before they were born?

magrylouyu @magrylouyu (1627) • United States 5 May 09

I found out the gender of all 3 of my children before they were born. I have 2 girls and another on the way. I think it makes it much easier to plan things ahead of time. I do think its pretty cool to wait and have it be a suprise...

surfmonkey17 No, I did not want to know. I wanted it to be a surprise. For me, it wouldn't have made it any easier to know. We just bought unisex baby items. Unfortunately, my fiance was dying to know. I went into labor early and when they did the ultrasound, he asked to...

surfmonkey17 Saturday is typically our shopping day to get all our groceries for the upcoming week. Sunday is our recharge day, which we spend at the beach. There is nothing better than ending the week relaxing on a sandy beach, enjoying the sun, and catching some waves.
