Talk Me Out of Kidnapping You..........

Sparks @sparkofinsanity (20471) • Regina, Saskatchewan 28 Jan 09

I learned today that a friend is about to turn 59. I think it's 59. At my age, it doesn't pay to trust my memory and that got me thinking that getting older really sucks. But then, "lightbulb over head goes on". There are actually...

youngsweetheart I have chronic pain in my left leg, which would make me a whiny pain in the patootie to anyone unlucky enough to kidnap me. And going up stairs leaves me a tad winded. And I'm only 24. Yeah, aging is going to be LOTS of fun for me! I hope no one ever...

Public School and our money

youngsweetheart My daughter started kindergarten last fall. Her school supplies cost us less than 20 dollars, and she's had one field trip (to see Charlotte's Web live) which cost 8 dollars. There are fundraisers, but I am not obligated to buy anything, and there are the fun...

Help! What Do You Call This?

EvrWonder @EvrWonder (3571) • Canada 22 Jan 09

My Dad's brother is my Uncle. My Mom's sister is my Aunt. I am my sister's daughter's aunt. My sister's daughter is my niece. With a new baby in the family and another one on the way, I am stumped. When my sister's daughter...

youngsweetheart You are the aunt to any children your siblings have. When your nieces/nephews have children, then yes, you are a Great Aunt, and the child is your great niece or nephew, depending on their gender. Does that answer your question?

How many of you get busted in on while taking a shower???

psspurgeon1 @psspurgeon1 (1109) • United States 16 Jan 09

First of all let me just say that I can only take a shower when my husband is home because my two year old is so wild she would burn the house down if she wasn't watched at all times. So, I have to get a shower in a limited amount...

youngsweetheart Sometimes a hot shower helps - after a few moments my nasal passages clear up. It doesn't last long, though, once you're out of the shower. I usually just use nasal spray. Might not be natural, but it definitely works!

Do you often use sunblock?

jlamela @jlamela (4897) • Philippines 16 Jan 09

I was having a facial yesterday and my dermatologist told me that it is very necessary to use a sunblock to avoid premature aging and skin damages. Even before I always use sunblock and it really works. How about you, is sunblock...

youngsweetheart I don't use sunblock every day - if I'm only going to the grocery store or something, I don't put it on, although my face lotion and some of my make up have sunblock in them. But if I know I'm going to be in the sun for more than 30 minutes, I slather on the...

youngsweetheart I wasn't sick when I was pregnant with my daughter, but I couldn't drink Pepsi anymore - it tasted funny, even before I knew I was pregnant. I did crave McDonald's fries, though. I had to have two supersize (back when they still had them) fries a week. Covered...

youngsweetheart I keep in touch with a lot of my friends from high school, but our lives took different paths, so it's hard to stay close. I got married and started a family right away; most of my friends did not. My husband is in the military, so we moved away; most of my...

youngsweetheart It's been a LONG time since I've read a Nora Roberts book, but I will NEVER forget the Key Trilogy. LOVED it. I loved it so much, I made my mom read it (she only likes romances, usually set in the old west). She grumbled about it, but ended up hooked. It's...

Is not 21 enough to marry?

neelshopno123 @neelshopno123 (242) 16 Jan 09

Birth, Marriage and Death are the most important chapter of everybody's life. Your birth date is fixed and you have no power to change it. Similarly the day you will die cannot be changed. You can only change your marriage...

youngsweetheart The right age to marry will vary from person to person. In the US, legally, most states require both the male and female be at least 18 years old to get married. Some states will let younger people get married if they have parental consent. I was married...

What's your take on the use of computers -internet even for very young children?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 16 Jan 09

I don't approve of this for very young children. This is because I feel, it's too early for them. Most of us adults know the "addictive" effect of the internet in our daily lives. We spend less and less time to read, to interact...

Do you rush to the H&R Block, or another income tax business? Do you file it paper form yourself? Do you hire someone you know who is certified? Do you use the free file online? And while we are at it...why are some people...

youngsweetheart We use www.taxslayer.com to file our taxes as soon as my husband gets his W2. Florida has no state tax, so all we have to worry about is federal. Tax Slayer doesn't charge active duty military personnel to e-file, so we file our taxes that way every year, and...

Home Schooling

youngsweetheart I think, academically, there is nothing wrong with home-schooling - provided the teacher is qualified, of course. In many cases, it's better, because, as someone above mentioned, students receive more one-on-one attention and lessons can be personalized to fit...

youngsweetheart I think I have a closer bond with my son than I do with my daughter - for now. My daughter is 6 and my son is 4, so they are still very young, and of course with my son being "the baby", he's still up for cuddles and such where my daughter really outgrew it,...

Should age matter?

chasingsunlight @chasingsunlight (261) • United States 15 Jan 09

I am 21 years old but seem to be too mature for many people my own age. I find I have a lot more in common with people who are 25 - 30. Is it wrong to want to hang out with people that much older than you when you are still in...

youngsweetheart You are of legal age and are allowed to hang out with whomever you like that is also of legal age. If you find yourself happier being with "older" people, and you have more in common with them, there's nothing wrong with that. At this point in your life, your...

youngsweetheart Good for you, I hope the calculator is accurate for you! We should get a pretty sizable refund as well, but I won't know for sure until my hubby receives his W2. As for the cost of filing - provided you don't have a lot of complex issues, you can file...
