Hi. I have an 8 year old daughter who is about to spend most of the summer in sports and my husband raised the idea of her using deodorant. I had thought of this and thought of starting with the samples knowing that everyones body chemistry responds differently. Has anyone been through this before? What deodorants, if any, are good for kids her age that won't irritate her skin? Should we sti...

Hi. For me, its a pretty simple reason--just the right thing to do and if I am able to be of effective help--do it.

Hi. Usually when I am going through a time where the relationship just ended I try to find ways to keep myself busy and believe me, there is always a way. For example, I try to take a class, reconnect with people I am comfortable with, or do some projects that I had been meaning to do but haven't. The one thing I take away from a previous relationship is that some things are just not meant t...

Hi! Like you I like to plan ahead on the things I am going to need. For me, the trick is getting me to adhere to my self-imposed limit. For example, paper towels, just 1 eight pack but have a good coupon to help you (especially when the store has a sale going on at the same time). When I am getting low, get one on the next trip.

Hi. Try eating foods that are a good source of protein. The other thing that might be slowing you down is stress. Do you feel stressed out due to work and need for $? I often do so I try to listen to music that would either calm me down or 'understand' how I feel and sometimes that does help. Working out--that helps too. A hobby? Perfect! Just try a few things and see what works. You may ...

Hi. I too have those days where I seem to be doing everything wrong so I sympathize. Anyhow it does sound as though your mom has the problem and you want to do something about it. Is she adverse in talking with you or perhaps you both could talk with a mutual friend? It won't happen in one shot so you both have to be willing to try while you're both still able. If she is feeling guilty abou...

Hi. I try to read when I have the time--with my book lamp. If it is still light outside, I usually sift through something; clothes, piles, the garage...there's always something to do.

Hi! I also had a cat named Cricket. Miss her! Sometimes I do that (in a appropriate times) and I find myself less stressed out when I do. I often laugh at myself; sometimes society makes things a lot more complex than it needs to be. Be well!

Hi! Sure not a problem. :-) Some just want a family early and some choose to wait. I know that I chose to wait and I am glad I did. If you want to know for certain, can you volunteer somewhere and see if you are really meant for kids and/or pets? I know you didn't mention it but some people take in pets and grow just as close to pets as they would kids. Just and idea. :-)
