Put yourself in this situation and tell me what you would do. YOu have kids and they are all boys. You desperatly want a little girl, really, really badly want a girl. With each one of your kids...let's say 3 you had...

Rose_Ellen In my opinion, which is biased and probably somewhat inflamatory, you should not go for it. If you don't want a little girl enough to adopt one then you don't want one badly enough to risk your life. What if you died and no one could take care of your sons?...

Now and again I have really strange dreams, none stranger than the one I had this morning. It was so "real" but silly at the same time. I was quite relieved to wake up, even though there wasn't anything nasty going on it it....

Rose_Ellen With my dreams I generally look at what I was doing and what I was not doing. This seems to be the same for you. You emphasize what you don't do. You don't have a lesbian interaction with this woman, you don't swim, you don't drink, you don't use the Olay...

Rose_Ellen I can confirm that if you have internet access on your phone you can post onto mylot. I just did so. I will try to remember to come back and confirm this statement tomorrow to make sure that it actually went through and was recorded properly.

You can afford to go out to the local restaurant or bar. What do you tip the waitress or waiter? Some people think a waiter or waitress makes in a ton of money. Did you know they don't get a paycheck? Most of them are paid $3....

tipping habits

Rose_Ellen My tip depends on the service. I usually tip between 15 and 20 percent. The conditions you describe above do not affect all wait staff but do affect a lot. Iactually only learned about the income tax on sales last year.

So my friends and I are arguing if unlimited is really unlimited? I am talking about movie theaters. My friend was telling me, in movie theaters that they give you unlimited refills on popcorn and drinks. Yes that is right....

Rose_Ellen You are not supposed to reuse them generally speaking. I know of one place that actually wrote the date on the bottom of each container so that it could only be used that day. In actuality though popcorn and soda are so cheap that it doesn't even matter....

How do you feel about the internet? Is it being abused, or do you think it is good? I think the age for computer users is getting lower and lower. Kids need to be learning, but I do agree that them using the computer for a little...

Rose_Ellen I can definitely tell when I've been online too much. I leave my house to check the mail or something and it is a surreal experience. That is when I know I need to cut back. Unfortunately almost all of my employment opportunities involve being online so I...

I have tried to do a lot of little things. I have been working to be a good friend, teacher, and family member. I directed people to ways that they can make a difference. For example, I've written several articles about kiva.org...

Rose_Ellen Awesome. Kiva is very helpful for people around the world. I've been having to withdraw kiva funds as they come in because I don't have much money but I will definitely be giving more as I get more stable.

Rose_Ellen Thanks for the advice. You mentioned that you make sure they want the advice first. Is this because you make friends with them, so you know? Or do you ask them first? I like the tactic of asking, "Did you mean this?" as a form of clarification. Thanks.

Rose_Ellen Thank you for your response. It is good to know that most users are not native English speakers. I really welcome your advice. Do you think I should help users to correct their English or should I just let them to passively learn as they go?

Rose_Ellen Thanks for your response. I don't mind a few errors and I'm sure I make them myself. I was wondering more about those that are "really bad". You say that you correct them, does this go over well? What advice do you have for how to correct people? Do you think...

Rose_Ellen I've kinda wondered what would happen in 2012. I'm generally not superstitious, so I hadn't thought much about it until recently. I have a friend who has been living as though the world would end in 2012. I actually really respect him because he does whatever...

Rose_Ellen I spend too much time being introspective. I am always thinking and analyzing. Sometimes it is because that is what I need to do and sometimes I think I spend that time avoiding real life. There is a certain amount of benefit that comes from thinking about...

Rose_Ellen Just to jump in on this discussion, women make statistically less money than men. This is why advertising companies are starting to realize that they need to have some of the marketing share for men in relationships with each other. 2 men make more money than...
