dragonokiefly I have had to take my wedding rings off once and don't plan to ever again. The only reason I had to that one time was because they needed to be resized to a smaller size so I didn't lose them. A couple of years ago while pregnant I had pre-eclampsia and...

vega83 @vega83 (6342) • Bahrain 19 Jun 07

I'm sure we all do a little bit of exercising or working out, whether at home or the gym. It's a good thing.. I used to be into yoga before, and now I do a lot of cardio, but I couldn't do either without listening to my favorite...

dragonokiefly I can workout without music but I don't like to. Music keeps my mind busy so I don't watch the clock thinking about how much time I have left. Music just makes it more enjoyable, besides it is about the only time I can listen to "my" music without the kids...

Do You Like To Garden Or Do You Leave Your Gardening To Others?

wachit14 @wachit14 (3595) • United States 16 Jun 07

dragonokiefly I never did get why you had to be able to at least print your name in this little itty bitty space in order to get a card. Make no sense to me, talk about turning a child off from books. I use our local library several times a month. I love going in there...
