Anyone else love Best in Show

julieann3597 @julieann3597 (13) • United States 8 Feb 07

I love this movie. I think, after watching it for the 10th time last night, it has moved into my number one slot for my favorite movies of all time ever. Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou has been number 1 since it came out....but...

How do you get your 12 year old to read?

ineedaname @ineedaname (957) • United States 3 Feb 07

What are some of the ways you get your child to read? I have tried so many different books. My husband and I have decided we are just going to sit him down and make him read for 20 minutes a day. I bought him some sci-fi books....

julieann3597 Are there any programs at your local library that offer incentives for reading? Sometimes there are pre-teen/teen book clubs as well. I'd check out the local libraries and bookstores and see if you can find one. If he knows it includes social...

Reading Goals for 2007

julieann3597 @julieann3597 (13) • United States 8 Feb 07

Has anyone set any reading goals for the year? I hope to read 50 young adult novels (I write YA, so it helps to read a lot of it), and 25 adult works this year. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I don't have very much time...

julieann3597 It used to be that way for me too. But...three kids later...and I can barely go to the bathroom by myself...I am finding it harder to find time to just enjoy it without interruption. So...this is helping. By having a goal I am getting past them crawling...

julieann3597 I am really enjoying How I Met Your Mother - but I am watching a season behind on dvd. I think the best show ever to air on television - which did not last long at ALL (much to my dismay) is Freaks & Geeks. God I can watch the whole season in one sitting....

julieann3597 wow...that is a tough question. It would be easier narrowed down into smaller categories. :-) But...I am going to say Colin Meloy...and I know a lot of people may not know who that is (main vocals for The Decemberists). He may not be there yet...but I...

Should smoking in a car be illegal when a child is a passenger?

ConservativeArtist @ConservativeArtist (201) • United States 7 Feb 07

I heard a snippet on the news today that a city councilman in Aurora, CO is trying to introduce a citywide ban on smoking in a car when a...

julieann3597 Yes I think it should be. It isn't fair to the child in the back, and the adult is making a decision for that child that will most likely have a negative impact on their health. My husband grew up with parents who did this while driving, and wouldn't...

julieann3597 It depends on the venue. If it a small venue...then I prefer concerts. If it is big....I prefer to stay home.

If you were diagnosed with Alzheimer's, would you want to know?

carmella @carmella (496) • United States 6 Feb 07

This is a very important question to me as my father in-law died from this 2 years ago, and his sister has just been diagnosed as well. My father in-law was told about his diagnoses, and knew what he had and what was going to...

julieann3597 yes. I would want to know so that I could tell my family everything I needed to tell them before I could no longer do so. I think every person deserves to know about their own health. It is THEIR body, afterall.
