So I went to buy my powdered baby formula at the grocery store as usual. It wasnt in the regular spot so I asked and was told customer service kept it locked up and I had to go there to purchase it. So when I got there I asked...

courtjohn I think that stealing is always wrong. Although I feel badly for people who feel they need to steal formula, I am sure that many of them could afford it if they cut back in other areas. No doubt, formula is expensive, I think that is part of the problem. I...

I have 4 boys, so the oldest always gets new, and the rest get hand me downs. But I always buy new shoes, underwear and all that, and always buy SOME new clothes for the other three because it only seems fair, just not as much as...

courtjohn Yes, yes, and Yes! My son is the oldest and only right now but he gets hand-me-downs from his cousins. I only use the stuff that is in good condition. I also shop a lot of consignment stores. By shopping there he can have a much larger wardrobe with more brand...

On craigslist and ebay I see tons of people selling those FREE I repeat FREE formula checks and coupons that come in the mail for people that signed up for them. They ask almost full price of the check. If it's a $7 check, they...

courtjohn I have to admit that I am guilty of selling and trading formula checks. First of all, if you post something on Ebay, you are not responsible for how much people pay for it. They are the stupid ones for paying the full value of it. I have also bid on some on...

In the age where sperm sorting is more affordable and more common, would you choose the gender of your child? Why or why not?

courtjohn This is a very controversial subject but I definately would not. I feel like my children are special gifts chosen for me and not for me to choose for myself. On a less spiritual level, I think allowing peole to do this would create an imbalance of gender in...

If you were told you had to pick one food and one drink to survive on for the rest of your life, which food and beverage would you choose, and why?

courtjohn I would probably pick pizza or salad. Complete opposites I know, but you can have a lot of variety with both and both can incorporate all foodgroups.

Do alot of you use VOIP? I had vonage for awhile but ended up switching because whenever my cable would go out, I wouldn't have a phone and that irritated me and it was only about $8 cheaper a month than the regular phone company....

courtjohn We tried packet 8 and hated it but now we have Vonage and love it. We have a cell phone so we just use that if the cable goes out which isn't all that often.

courtjohn Gender is determined by the man, so since DH already has a daughter, I would say there is still hope. (Although my DH's uncle had 8 girls!! Can you imagine!). Do you feel different this time? I am pregnant with a girl this time and feel way different that when...

courtjohn I would have to say that mine is Gone with the Wind. I used to watch with my mom as a kid. I read the book as an adult and I own the DVD and watch it every couple of months. My other cheezy favorites are Grease, Footloose and Dirty Dancing.

my kids are young, but I was just curious what everyone does/plans to do about dating. Is there an age you feel comfortable letting your child go out on a date? Thanks in advance!

courtjohn Well our son is young, but I would say probably around 15. That said, if he wanted to have a girl come with him on family outings before that, I would be OK with that. Now I am pregnant with a girl right now and I am sure that my husband will say never, but...

courtjohn I am only 19 weeks so needless to say I am not ready for it to be over yet. I am not ready!! DS is only 15 months and he needs a few more months too. I am hoping he will be a champion sleeper, off the pacifier and a little better at following the "rules" by...

OMG, I unplugged my TiVo on accident last night while it was recording, so it stopped recording and now I have to wait for a rerun! Was it the season finale?

courtjohn Yup it was the finale. I am sure they will replay it. Heidi moved in with Spencer (I hate him BTW..he is so slimy). Audrina moved in with Lauren. We don't know if Whitney got the job or not...that is pretty much it I think. HTH
