Sometimes when I go to different grocery stores I’ll see a free sample table. Sometimes it’s little sausages, a new cereal or a new snack mix…it’s always something. The object is to get ppl to try a sample and convince them that...

Adoption: Can you? Could you? Did you? Would you? Part 2

amithist @amithist (72) • Davisburg, Michigan 15 Apr 08

floramwaters I think the fact that you put your son up for adoption say a lot of good things about you. You did what you thought was best for your child. Isn't what parenting is all about. When and if your son contacts you I believe the best thing for you to do is to...

floramwaters I would have to say it is a women thing. My husband can not multi-task for the life of him unless it involves one of his video games, then he can play the game and talk to people around the world about the game ( he has x box live). Here we (women) are cooking...

If You Were Suddenly Investigated...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 10 Feb 08

If crime scene investigators went through your home looking for evidence, what would be the most unusual thing they would find? In my home, I'd say it would be the toys that are around the house when no children live here and...

floramwaters I don't think that would find anything wierd in my house. It would be where they found toys. My kids hide their toys every where. They may look at me like a nut case if they found toys where I find them. No wait if I sit here and really think about it it would...

floramwaters I would not say you are a bad mom. You just do a lot of things that "most" mom would/would not do. Some of the things that you say you don't do I do either. There is also a lot that I do make my kids do. Every parent has a different way of parenting, as long...

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 24 Feb 08

floramwaters I am a mixed person when it comes to this. There are days when I set a routine and stick with it and then there are days when we just skate by. I like to take the kids out and do things with them. I am not a home body and my kids are getting that way as well....
