KrabbyPatty If you'll notice, the current hobbies are all ones which can be done in front of children. Before them, it was just me and my husband. And, well, newlyweds have different sorts of hobbies... The children are the result.

When someone responds to your post, do you return the favor?

Ashida @Ashida (1370) • United States 3 Jan 07

If someone's nice enough to respond to my post, I almost always respond to one of theirs, just as a way of saying thanks. Does anyone else do this? I've also found it a good way to find some interesting posts.
