Overload on colognes and perfumes.

trutallica @trutallica (164) • United States 17 Aug 07

Is it me or is it the most irritating thing in the world when someone walks by you and nearly knocks you off your feet because they've BATHED in their perfume or cologne? I absolutely can not stand this and I may be being harsh...

trk918 I start sneezing and choking when someone wears it too strong. I used to work in a small office in a plant. One of the guys from the main office would walk in and I had to walk out because he bathed in it. It was really bad. Same with perfume counters, I hold...

Do you think stay at home moms and working moms are supportive of eachother?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 13 Aug 07

Or do you think we are critical of eachother. I've gotten the impression that we are more critical of eachother than supportive. I don't agree with it, but that's what I've seen. I think we each do what we feel is best...

trk918 I'm sure it goes both ways but here is what I see. The stay at home moms look down on us working moms because we can't be there for all of the parties and field trips. They look at us like we are neglecting our kids. Being single we also get looked down on...

When is it time for a stay at home mom to go to work?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 13 Aug 07

I will probably begin looking for a job this fall. I have mixed feelings about it. It has become necessary for me to start bringing in an income. My children are old enough, I suppose. One is going into middle school and...

trk918 From a single working mom... If I had the option I would consider parttime work while the kids are in school. You need the adult conversations but working fulltime I miss out on a lot of the school activities because I can't get off work to go. It's very hard...

What's with people wanting their kids to grow up so soon?

katydidmc @katydidmc (210) • Canada 12 Aug 07

A woman took offence because I said she should have discouraged her 14 year old from having a steady girlfriend, and I hear all the time at work parents complaining that they can't find any 'sexy' clothes for their 6 and 8 year...

trk918 Boy I ask the opposite question when buying something for my niece. Where are all the non-sexy clothes? If I had girls I would probably have them wearing boys clothes just so I didn't have to dress them as sl*ts.

Sensitve Skin

clare75 @clare75 (33) 13 Aug 07

I have very sensistive skin, and i have alot of trouble finding a good soap to use, i often try soap free products as i find this the best, What is your favourite soap and what would you recomend it?

soap

trk918 Try baking soda. Use it very gently because it exfoliates and could make your skin raw. Another thing I have found that works for me is old fashion lye soap. Not anything you buy in the store but you can buy it online from people who make it at home and sell...

Staying Focused

trk918 @trk918 (254) • United States 7 Aug 07

I've always had a hard time staying focused on what I was doing. Over the last few months it has gotten really bad. I can't even consentrate long enough to meditate which used to help. My mind just wonders all of the time. I start...

How do you have your meals?

laridbz @laridbz (1280) • China 8 Aug 07

When you and your family (or whoever lives with you or visits you often) are at home during lunch time, for example, do you eat together, calmly on the living room table? Or you just grab your plate and go to the couch to eat...

trk918 We sit at the table together for dinner most of the time. I believe in food in the kitchen and at the table. No tv, games or toys. That is family time. Being as busy as we are we need the family time so we can communicate.

trk918 I knew a couple that combined both of their last names and both took that name. They worked well together as some would not. I also know people that don't take their husbands last name at all. It is an interesting question. I had never thought much about it.

Do you find exposed bra straps tacky?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 1 Aug 07

I work on a college campus. I have noticed an increasing trend of exposed bra straps. If a shirt has smaller shoulder staps than than the wearer's bra, it is worn anyway. Another instance is shirts worn off the shoulders entirely...

trk918 I found that it's getting really hard to find bras with the convertable straps. I like those because you can wear the straps 3 different ways. I started wearing ones with the clear straps because they are not as noticable. I hate that someone else decides what...
